ADMITS PRICES OF
MEAT WERE FIXED
Official of Food Administration Says
Limit Was Set When Allies
Needed Supply.

Washington, March 19.-Joseph P.
Cotton, head of the food administra-
tion's meat division, with offices at
Chicago. was given a hearing today
by the senate agriculture committee
Investigating the food situation. He
was called on to tell of he food admin
istration's policies respecting stimula-
tion Of meat production and to give
him an opportunity to reply, to recent
testimony before the committee that
his Office advised the packers to hold
down the prices paid for livestock.
Mr.. Cotton said that the only &C.
tion of the food administration in
fixing the price of meats was at a
time when there was an excessive
demand from the allied governments.
At that time, he said, the administra-
tion desired to keep down the price
of the kind of meat ordered by the
allies.
The excessive demands of the al
lies, Mr.. Cotton said, will have an
effect on the hog and cattle market,
but nothing will be done toward rec
ommending price regulation until no.
tice is given to producers.

WHAT WILL YOUR COLOR BE-. BLUE,
RED, OR WILL IT Be YELLOW?

What is your color going to be in
the next Liberty Loan drive? Are
you going to choose the blue and
come out with perfect record, do
only half, third, or fourth of what
you are able to do, or are you going
to show a streak that will be cause
for Uncle Sam presenting you with a
yellow card?
Yellow is symbolic of the man who
will draw that color, for 1t means that
he has shown a yellow streak and re-
fused to come to the aid of his coun-
try when called upon. These yellow
boys got off easy in the first two
drives, but according to Liberty Loan
workers, the limit has been reached.
Full publicity must be given those
who fail in the next or in subsequent
drives.
