School Entertainment at Lyric Mon day Night Big Success in
 Every Respect

Thanks Co the generosity of the people of Douglas and their pride in the public school. there was a banner crowd at the Lyric theatre Monday night Co witness the school entertainment which was such a success from financial standpoint that a number of old debts which have hovered over the school like a wet horse-blanket for the past year or more have all been paid and the school is once more clear from all its liabilities. The entertainment was under the direction of the Pa rent-Teachcr Association. The prin- clpal bills which were paid as a re- suit of the generous patronage were the ones due on the school phono- graph and for Cadets uniforms.
 The entertainment commenced with a piano solo. very we'll render ed by Miss Esther Cashen, after which came song by a quartet composed of high school girls Misses Gertrude Johnson, lynne Jones, Es- lher Cashen and Laura Mcleod, which was well received and they were forced to respond to am ncorc.
 Next came the playlet, entitled, "Mishaps of Minerva" Miss Laura Mcleod too kthc part of Minerva, who. being a popular young lady and inclined to want to accompany everybody constantly found herself In difficult position which finally reached a climax when she no longer felt that, unalded and alone, she was capable of handling the many per Dlexing problems which constantly were demanding her attention and she had to call on her friends Co help her out, which they gladly did. 'AIlnerva's Mishaps," though dis trcssing to her, were very amusing to the audience. Elmer Palmbom as tho Irish policeman, made quite h hit
 Those helping Co make the play a success were: Laura Mcleod, Helen Nicmi. Esther Cashcn, Estehr Lndstrom. Agnes Patterson, Esther Carlson. Sally Bracken, Martin Call was. otto Anderson, Victor Hewitt Elmer Palmbom and Arthur Nelson. Next came Q song by the boys and girls from the third and fourth grades: Miss Norma Ripin then showed her ability as a speaker in a four-minute address, after which tho little tots of the second grade gave one ftheir ever popular folk dances.
 Pupils from the sixth grade sang a patriotic song, after which the au- diencc stood, gave the flag salute and all joined in singing "The Star spaugled Banner"
 The success of the playlet was due largely Co the mtiring efforts of Teacher Miss Cation. who drilled the pupils i'm their respective parts.

ANOTHER CALL
 TO SAVE MEAT
Food Administration Issues State ment Threatening Resumption
 of Meatless Days

United States Food Administrator Herbert Hoover has sent the follow lngtelegram Co the Federal Food Ad- ministrator at Juneau:
 "Tho food administration is cx- trcmcly desirous of securing econ ony In the consumption of an kinds of meats without relnstallation of meatlcss days for thc present Sea sonul decline in volume of animals coming to market is now i'm progress and it's volume will undoubtedly fur ther decrease during the next few months as is usual, but the prob able amount of such decrease is yet obscure. Tho necessities for ship ping abroad to our army and allies are very large and amount Go rough ly 75,OOO,OOO pounds meat and meat products of all kinds per week against pre-wur normal of less than 15.OOO.O pounds. Even with these large shipments the allies have found it necessary to reduce con- sumption of all kinds of meats and poultry to an average of about one and one-quartor pounds per week, per person. in order that no further daft should be made upon shipping that is now required for the trans port of our soldiers. Our consump- ton of meats is about three and one quarter pounds per week, per per son. and if we are Co make both ends balance during short marketing sca- son VIC must have further economy. IT Che public will continue in rigor- elimination of waste and will fur ther economize by reducing Quanu- ties prepared for each meal of an kinds of meat and poultry more particularly bcef-and will restrict their purchases accordingly, the food administration hopes that the necessary balance can be maintain ed; a general observance of these recommendations will avoid the in- convenlencos which arise in many directions from moatless days and win cause Icas interference in daily preparation of food. There Is now a scasonablc abundance of milk pro- duets which can well be substituted in various forms. Shortage of fish during the past several months, due Co the necessity Of naval reQuisition- ing of trawlers and enlistment of fishermen for the navy should soon be considerably realized by the ex- pansion which has been arranged in other forms of fishing"
 Pursuant Co the above warning and recommendations of the United States Food Administration, the Fed cral Food Administrator for Alaska asks that an households, hotels, pub- lie eating places and an consumers of meats Co observe the strictest economy in the use of meats. IT this is not done, meatlcss days and meals may again be restored. The meat supply must be maintained during this war.
