FOOD CONSERVATlONISMS

The Inan who wants to make money
out Of the war does not like the Food
Administration, for it interferes with
his profiteering; but the people ap-
preciate the Food Administration and
despise the profiteers.

Rules and regulations have been
promulgated by the Food Administra-
ton, after conference with all classes
interested regarding frozen poultry
and cold storage eggs. II is believed
that in this way the industries will be
stabilized, transactions be placed on
just merchandising basis, and legiti-
mate competition be allowed. while
opportunities for unfair prices-raising
speculation will be restricted. The
consumers have been steadily in mind,
while the producers have not been
pressed below a reasonable profit.
The Food Administration is teach
ing a goodly number of business con-
Germs that honesty is the best policy
by putting them out of business for
dishonesty. The AK falls only when
cases are fragrant and clearly proved.
And the cases are very few compared
with the whole number of loyal deal
ers.
Ammonia is precious now. In the
months of December, January and
February one large New York ice man
ufacturer saved 26,S64 pounds of am
monia. If this ratio can be followed
generally by the artificial ice produc-
ers the actual needs of the country
may be met without undue curtailment
of ice consumption or refrigeration.
Domestic science teachers in public
schools of Indiana have been enlisted
in food conservation by the Federal
Food Administrator, who has sent
them a special communication asking
that they impress upon classes the
necessity for saving foods needed in
Europe, teach use of substitutes, re-
duce the consumption of sugar and be-
tween-meal lunches at school, and aid
IN the creation of an American spirit
which will back up the Food Admins
trat1on program.

Twenty members give 10 cents apiece
daily, and a luncheon is planned to
come within So, says the Chicago
Daily News. No sugar, wheat, meat, or
butter are used in this luncheon, bis
cults being made of rice, barley, and
rye flour, and ice cream, favored and
sweetened with jelly which was put
up by the class last year. More than
200 jars of school-canned fruits, veg

tees recommendation.

It is the general opinion that the
School Board have made an excellent
choice in the selection of the man to
AXE charge cf our public schools in
The future. He comes to US highly
recommended by state authorities who
have an intimate acquaintance with
Nim and the knowledge of his excel
lent work in the past. Mr.. Doudna
IS a native Of Wisconsin, forty years
of age, married, with a wife and two
children. He is a graduate of the I'm
iversity Of Wisconsin and the platte
vile State Normal
His experience which qualities him
for this position is as follows:
He taught three years in the country
schools; one year principal Of State
rr2ded school; four years teacher at
Watertown, Wis, eight years City
Superintendent of schools at Richland
Center; two years State Normal school
Eau Claire, as director of High School
teachers training course and head of
English Department; which position
he leaves to come to Grand Rapids
He has also had several years expert
ence in the work as Institute con-
iuctor. Recently he has had consid-
arahle experience in community work.
Judging from his experience that
1e must have received, this certainly
should qualify him for the position he
has now accepted in this city.
Mr.. Doudna expects to be in Grand
Rapids on Friday or Saturday of this
week to confer with Prof. Schwede and
members of the School Board in ref
arence to conditions now existing in
the present school work. He will pro
badly visit all the school buildings
and familiarize himself with the nee
essary school conditions for next year.
Prof Doudna and family will receive
. cordial reception from the people of
Grand Rapids and all the help and as
sistance necessary 30 aid him in the
future development and growth of our
public schools. We extend them a cor
dial welcome.

CITY SCHOOL
SUPERINTENDENT
Prof E. G. Doudna Of Eau Claire
Elected Superintendent of Our
Schools to Succeed c. W.
Schwede, Resigned

Ever since Prof. Schwede, resigned
his position as City Superintendent of
of our public schools, the School
Board have been investigating the
question Of selecting a good man to
fll his place. After carefully investi-
eating many applications for this po-
sition the committee on Teachers fin
ally decided to engage the services of
E. G. Doudna of Eau Claire. He ap-
piled in person which gave the mem
bers Of the school Board an opportuni-
ty to visit with him and ask many
questions that they naturally wanted
to know. After going over the ground
carefully on those who had applied
they decided to tender the position
to Prof. Doudna The committees
selection was placed before the School
Board at a recent meeting, with all
the information they obtained and the
School Board endorsed the commit
tees recommendation

new MAYOR
in OFFICE
A Are Well Selected and
Committees Well Arranged

The citizens of Grand Rapids well
come the advent of Attorney Charles
E. Briere as Mayor of our city and
that his opening address meets with
their hearty approval. Economy and
retrenchment should be the desire of
every citizen, as the great war de-
mands made upon the people and the
high cost Of living is proving to be
great burden. Our city is badly in
debt and now largely overdrafted at
the Bank and paying interest on bal
ances. We commend the Mavor's
short address made at the new organ
lzation of the new Council which met
at the City Hall Tuesday night. His
appointments of committees and city
officers are we'll qualified for the po-
sitions he has assigned to them. The
following is his address and appoint
ments made:
TO THE COMMON COUNCIL AND
CITIZENS OF THE CITY OF
GRAND RAPIDS:
1t is with sincere pleasure that l
meet you this evening and assume for
the first time the chair of Mayor.
The City of Grand Rapids is in very
poor financial shape as from an ex-
animation of the Treasurer's books to-
day, it shows that the City in spite
of the fact that the taxes are now all
collected has approximately 500, 1927. 80
over drafts which only includes the
moneys due the schools and County
and does not even include the $4,000
fire engine house as we'll as all other
orders issued but not paid.
In view of this large Indebtedness
already of over $31, 1000 and with only
approximately $4,000 coming in from
license money, it is my opinion that
this council and city administration
should go very slow in spending more
money for needless improvements. We
should by every means possible cur
tail every expense and by doing so it
will assist every tax payer in this
city
The Council and Mayor are simply
the representatives of the people and
we must not only cooperate with each
other, but we must cooperate with
every citizen, for as the peoples rep
resentatives we are expected to car
ry out the peoples wishes
The following is a list of my ap-
pointments for the different officers
subject to your approval:
Alderman Committees
Waterworks, Jackson, Lynch, Burchell
Bealer, Geoghan, Hansen
Street, Bamberg, Horton, Schlig
General, Roenius, Ernser, Lemense
Sewer, Whitrock, Damon, Plenke
Finance, Geoghan, Link, Hansen

City Attorney, F. w. Calkins |
City Engineer, A. T. Thompson
City poor Commissioner, P. McCamley
Supt. Fire Engine, D. NJ. Huntington

We have every reason to believe
hat those who were responsible for
the election of Mr. Briere as Mayor
Of Grand Rapids, will have no reason
20 apologize for his election. We
oespeak for him and all his appoint
nents a successful administration of
city affairs in an economical and
Dusinesslike way

nave met great problemS-such as
slavery, by great war; tariff, by
fourteen bills and a like number of
panics; conservation, currency, bank
ing, antitrust and railroad questions
by making the same Isatters of poll
ucs--it may be doubted whether we
are quite as great as we think we are.
In considering how we exercise our
judgment, we should remember the
extent TO which we have devoted our
selves to the education of the young
and the large sums we have spent at
all times for public schools and for
colleges. When we look back and see
the mistakes we have made, 1t would
almost appear as if we had failed to
apply much that had been taught us in
school and college, or that perhaps the
school and college had not taught us
how to solve great political measures.
Then, again, the thought comes TO us
of whether or not we have not had
false leaders, and have not clung to
false gods.
