LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUS
Presiaenf american Society for Thrill

food. We refer to the pinto bean as
an example of what should be done
in the way of public cooperation. 3
There should be public demand
for the pinto equal to the increased
production which even in 1917 was
400 per cent greater than in 1916 on
an increased acreage of 500 per cent.
This year the percentage and in
crease will be still larger.
The housewife should call for this
product regularly and persistently
from her grocer. In this way the
pinto bean will in time get into the
regular channels of trade and estab-
lish for itself fixed place in the
realm of household economies.
The pinto bean is merely used as
an example.
The peanut, soy bean, cotton seed,
alfalfa and numerous fish products
are among the many new American
foods that should be encouraged by a
popular demand.
BY assisting in this work we .ac-
complish a number of excellent re-
suits. We help win the war by aid
ing in the addition of new food prod
ucts; we conserve other foods that
can be shipped to Europe; we create
new wealth for our country by Civ
ing value to products that hitherto
had no value or had not existed at
all we encourage new industries; we
help give to mankind a new source
of food which is of value not only
during these war times but will be
a perpetual benefit because of its in
fiuence in forcing food prices to a
lower level; we save money.
Let each of US do his share in this
worthy and important matter.
The aggregate results will be tre-
mendous. y
There are many ways to practice
thrift and serve our nation. This is
one of them.
Martinsburg W Va evening journal. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1913-1920, 1918-12-09

excellent food values. However. the
nation at large knows little about it
and cares less. Where the pinto
bean is known there is a prejudice
against it because of its notified
brown color. But this prejudice
should be forgotten and the public
should create demand for it.
The pinto bean furnishes good
percentage of proteid, thus making
possible meat economy, and is
cheaper than any other food of its
class.
1t can be produced with a fair
profit to the farmer at 8 cents a
pound and sold retail 2 pounds for
Is cents. This compares with a re-
tail price of 20 cents pound for
the white navy bean. This year there
will be greatly increased production
of the pinto and it will come on the
market in both drieda and canned
form. The cans will contain pound
four ounces net cooked beans and
will retail for IS cents can, as
against price of rs cents for canned
white navy beans.
The point in mind is not that we
are seeking to discourage the de-
mand for the white navy bean
which is good example Of thrifty
