PRESENT HIGH BUTTER PRICES
HURT INDUSTRY, SAYS HOOVER

A conference was held by Mr..
Hoover last week with some so lead
ing representatives of the dairy in
terests, including members of the az
ricultural advisory board, to consider
the present situation in the dairy pro-
ducts. 1t was the unanimous opin-
ion of the meeting that in view of the
large army, navy and allied demands
that there was temporary shortage
in products, especially butter in the
market. 1t was also agreed that the
present prices of butter not only bear
hardly upon the consumer, but are
not in the best interests of the pro-
Queer as it tends to increase con-
sumption of margarine, which Is
about one-half the price. 1t was
agreed that these conditions would
sooner or later produce q collapse Of
butter prices to point possibly be-
low the cost of production.
1t was considered essential for a
stable condition of the industry that
when such fall did occur that the
government purchases would be used
to support the market at a reasonable
level. A committee was appointed by
the meeting and approved by Mr..
Hoover to cooperate with the other
advisory committee and Of the admin
ict 70 fiop opd 70 Fur<bar ,opc;dar the
situation and to advise with the Food
Administration as to what action
should be taken to stabilize the situ-
alton. The new committee adjourned
to meet again at a later date, in the
meantime to investigate and consider
the many factors involved.
"Mr. Hoover's statement Is time
ly," said Mr.. Hebberd. There is
tendency apparent especially on the
Pacific coast toward runaway mar
ket on butterfat and dairy products.
While present feed and labor condi-
lions warrant high prices to produc-
ers. this tendency must not be per-
mitted to develop beyond prices rea-
sonable to producers in view of such
costs. Otherwise a temporary ad-
vantage will result in an inevitable
subsequent collapse. All producers,
organizations and trade generally are
warned that undue competition for
the restricted supplies available must
not be permitted to carry these pro-
ducts to excessive levels. Failure to
heed this warnig will inevitably re-
suit in a market collapse disastrous
to producers and the industry alike"

THE PLATONIC
FRIENDSHIP FALLACY
AS Mollie made her remark
about marital troubles l must
have looked surprised, for l knew
that Mollie had never had any
trouble in her married life ex-
|cept over her poor baby. Chad
was one OF the most desirable
husbands I had ever known.
"Oh, you need not look SO I'M
convinced, Margie," she continu-
ed, thinking my surprise wos con-
|tradiction. II have often thought
Ii Malcolm Stuart had lived you
would have discovered that our
friend Plato hardly knew what he
was talking about.
"Plantomic friendship - your
Granny!
You would have had either to
have stopped being the great
friends you grew to be, or you
would have dropped into some
thing much nearer, Of that I am
quite certain.

|you, Margie, but I have always
thought you were the one love of
Malcolm Stuart's tickle existence. 4"

that even Mollie did not guess how
nearly she had come to the truth.
Then l looked about at these
dear women friends of mine and
wondered what each of them
would have done, il / had gone
away in the Lady Saliva.
/ am quite sure that altho Dick
was Mollie's brother, she would
have stood by me, for altho Mol
lie and had never mentioned it
to each other, I am certain she
knew all about Eleanor Eairlow.
Annie would have been heart
broken to have had her idol shat
tered, but she too would have
loved me still.
Alice, of course, would have
said my life was my own to do
with as l chose, but of Eliene
am not quite sure.
True, she forgave Harry and
proved herself a greater woman in
that case than l could possibly
be. But she made SO big a sacri-
flee for herself, that l am almost
ready to believe that she would
think another woman should sac

world said that love was wrong.

Next Wednesday

; BY proclamation of Gov. Lister, next Wednesday
will be War Savings day.
4 On that day, the entire state is to think of and
work for the Thrift Stamp campaign.
That the people of this state, and especially OF
this city, alive to the value of day devoted to
such thought and work, is apparent from the whole
hearted way the Thrift campaign has started off.
Patriotism will be the keynote of the Wednesday
demonstration. But sound, good judgment will al
80 be served. For the War Savings Stamps appeal
both to patriotism and good judgment. Particu-
larly must it's appeal be felt by those who labor.
They are now getting bigger wages than of old.
They are getting more dollars. Are their dollars
buying more? Only to a small extent.
But if they save these dollars till after the war,
when perhaps wages will be lower, they will be able
to buy more for the money they had invested in
War Savings Stamps.
Wednesday, therefore, can be made into his
toric day. The amount of money secured in War
Savings Stamp investments that day will help
Uncle Sam to conduct the war to victOry-and in
addition it may also lay the foundation for peace
and security for hundreds and thousands in this
city in the uncertain future

An $4,000 Loss!

A Tacoma editor who is opposed to municipal
ownership of street railway system has made
an astonishing discovery. If, he announces the
public should take over the II. II. & p. Co.'s lines,
$85 900 year in taxes Immediately would be
t'lost."
Lost! Just like that.
Ponder the amazing fact.
BY ''lost'' he MEANS apparently, that this sum
would not be paid by the railway into the public
treasury for public uses.
But if it is not paid by the railway and the rail
way belongs to the public, then this little old
$4,000 must be found" as well as ''lOst," Ell?
In other words we leave it in our right-hand
Jeans pocket instead of shifting it around to the

proposition ought to go with a bang.

Dear Miss Grey: admire
a certain girl and have taken
her to parties and entertain
ments. Her parents were will
ing I should do this, but the
girl says they think she is too
young to have company. She
is II. For this reason she will
not permit me to call on her at
her home. Instead she comes
to my home to see me. What
ought I to do about this? l.
The girl is too young q receive
q young man caller regularly. But
since you are permitted to act as
her escort you should be welcome
at her home for an occasional
evening. She is doing wrong to
call NJ your home. You would
better tell her this is very uncOn-
ventional and you much prefer to
see her at her own home. Then
test the sincerity of her statement
by calling and judge Of the atti-
tude OF her parents by the recep-
ton they give you.
Dear Miss Grey: I am deep
ly in love with a young woman
and would like to call on her
and take her to the theater
sometimes. But she will not
permit this. She says her
mother is so strict with her
that she would not permit her
to have company. AS this girl
is 25 years old, think this is
wrong. What can l do about
it? FAME.
If you are sure the girl has no
personal objection to you, call at
her home some evening and intro
duce yourself to the mother. 1t Is
contrary to nature to deprive a
young woman of friendships and
a chance to order her life as 9TH
ers do. The mother may change
her mind about her daughters
friends when she becomes ac-
quainted with them.
Dear Miss Grey: We have
had trouble all the time since
we were married, because my
husband insists on living with
his parents. He does not seem
to care for me or our baby. l
dare not express an opinion.
If l do I am ridiculed. He
makes all his plans with his
mother and not with me. The
reason I object so much to this
is that he did not speak to his
father for a long time before
our marriage. He lived at my
house and promised me We
should live by ourselves. He
found all kinds of fault with
his family at that time. What
shall l do? DESPERATE.
You should insist as tactfully as
possible on having q home by
yourselves, no matter how small
or inexpensive. As long as there
is not complete harmony between
his parents and yours you should
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1918-03-16

live with neither OF them. You
are a new family and should con-
duct your home independently.
Both Of you can be free to visit
your parents and much better
spirit will prevail. Your husband
surely has the good s6t1se to sec
the reasonableness Of this argu-
ment when you put 1t up to him.
Don't find fault with his people.
Perhaps your disappointment has
caused you to magnify some of
your experiences I'm their home.
They may not have meant them
as unkindly as you think. But
establish your home alone. 1t
will be better for all concerned.
