WILL USE
ECONOMY

Several of the departments in the
municipal government Of East Chicago
are in the throes Of reorganization in
order to carry out a program Of rigid
economy necessitated by the increase
Of the cost Of labor. materials, supplies
and equipment Of every Kind.
Mayor Mccormack and the Board Of
Works as well as the City Council are
planning on some revolutionary changes
in the very near future. At the meeting
yesterday the condition of the finances
as a whole came up and it was clearly
apparent that at the present rate the
city would be in debt fully 500, 600 on
running expenses by the close of the
year. It also developed that one of the
funds most nearly exhausted was that
OF the street department.
Until a late hour yesterday afternoon
this matter was scuss by the mayor
and Board of Works. No definite con-
illusions were reached and the board ad-
journed until this afternoon to continue
their deliberations.
The Indications are that there will be
a wholesale cut in the street department
and that the street commissioner at

some of the autocratic methods now be-

nomination of a candidate by either
party who is not w-hole-heartedly behind

they are likewise sternly opposed to any

NIGHT WATCH ORGANIZED

Following the program adopted
by the most of the towns in the
state east of the Missouri river,
Philip has organized a night
watch. Seventy members have
joined a voluntary organization
pledged to night watch service
for each individual on at least
one night in each five weeks.
A meeting was held at the City
Hall Thursday night and organi-
cation perfected. William Muir
ply was unanimously elected
Chief of the Night Watch. He
will attend to forming the sched-
ule for service and will notify
members when they are called
for duty. Two members serve
each night from ten o'clock until
daylight the following morning.
If you have not volunteered,
Chief Murphy will be glad to re-
ceive your application.

Two 0nnces Of Bread Per Meal.

The United States Food Ad.
ministration has delved into psy-
chology in fixing a bread allow
ance for patrons of public eating
places. 1t has announced that
no person should be served with
more than l portion; and that
portion should consist of 2 ounces
of loaf bread or two 1-ounce rolls.
An exception is made, allowing q
ounces of a single variety of
bread made from corn meal, oat.
meal, rice flour, or other wheat
substitutes. If more than one
variety is ordered, however the
potrion must remain two ounces,
as in the case of wheat bread and
rolls.
Of course the object of the
bread allowance is wheat conser-
vation. Why, then, the require
ment that in order to be served
with a 4-ounce portion a guest
must stick to a single variety of
bread? If he eats bread or rolls
made OF wheat-hour substitutes
why may he not have several
varieties.
The answer touches what could
we'll be termed the psychology
of the average eater" Substan-
italy it is this: If the guest has
four rolls, each of them different,
the variety will act as a spur up
on his appetite, or, with four va
rieties of rolls, it is possible that
he will nibble each one; and find
ing one or more which do not ap-
peal to his taste, allow them to
60 to waste.
The same thing would apply
were he given two varieties. He
might eat more than he actually
needed or desired, or he might
take only a bite from one and al
low it to be wasted.
If he is able to obtain more
than 2 ounces only by sticking to
one variety. the average eater
will choose one he knows will
suit his taste. There will be no
waste.

Corn Not Profitable as Sole Feed

Since more pork must be pro-
duced at a profit, shorts, oilmeal
or tankage must help out the
corn ration. By using some of
these feeds in a warm slop along
with corn fed on the ear, the feed
cost of 100 pounds hog is $40,
while if corn is fed alone, the
same weight of hog will cost $12
or more.
Pasture crops reduce the feed
cost about half. Alfalfa and rape
make good pastures and produce
from 600 to 800 pounds of live
hog per acae. One-full grain feed
should be allowed on pasture.
A good full daily feed for a 100
to l50-pound hog gaining a pound
and a half daily is 4 pounds of
ear corn and a warm slop of 3
pounds shorts and one pound oil
meal.-G. E. Morrison, Extension
Livestock Specialist, S. D. State
College.

FRANCIS HUGnES A SURVIVOR

The name of Francis Hughes
appears in the list of survivors of
the Tuscania wreck, now in Irish
hospitals.
Judge Hughes was over from

is doubtless his son Francis who
enlisted last fall with a Wiscon-
sin company and who he believes
to have been on the ruscania.
The family is greatly relieved
to see their son is safe although
they will be very anxious until

Income Tax Reports Due Soon

We have been asked many
questions lately-since it is com
monty supposed that a newspap-
er man is the repository of all
knowledge concerning the i'll
come tax, but we confess that we
don't know much about it. We
do know that every single man
who had an income last year a.
bove 100000 and every married
man whose income was above
100000 should make out and for
ward to the Office of the internal
revenue collector at Aberdeen,
S. D. a return on the govern
ment's regular blank b e ore
March lst. Haakon county citi-
zens who want to keep out of
Jail will govern themselves ac-
cordingly. Lest our readers may
think we are merely in a joyial
mood, we hasten to assure them
this income tax matter is no
monkey business. But, of course,
no patriot will fail these times to
make a faithful return.
Farmers and stockmen will ex-
perience the greatest difficulty in
filling out the income tax returns.
Most farmers will have to esti-
mate their income and expense
for the present income tax. 1t is
the only thing they can do, and
the government will take such an
estimate if honestly given, and if
a disposition to be fair in the
matter is shown. Making of
these returns will have one good
effect, and that is that the farmer
in the future will keep a better
record of the operating expenses
and at the end of the year will
know just what he has made on
the farm.
An agent of the government
will be at the Haakon county
court house February 23rd to the
28th to assist anyone interested
in making out his return.

City Council Lifts Ban Against Pigs.

At the earnest solicitation of
governments pork specialists the
city council at its regular Febru-
ary meeting, decided to suspend
during the war the ordinance
prohibiting the keeping of pigs
within the city limits. Conse-
quently, if you have a supply of
garbage going to waste, or can
arrange for other feed supply
and want to enter upon the pro-
duction of pork the city dads are
prepared to hold their noses and
look the other way. But, there
is no good reason, they think,
why a pig pen cannot be kept
reasonably clean. 1t will be a
patriotic act to keep it so, and
keep a pig in it.
