San Francisco, April 10.-An order
suspending "Porkless" Tuesdays in
the state indefinitely was issued today
by the United States Food Admin
stration for California on telegraphic
instructions from Herbert c. Hoover.
The new order becomes effective i'm
mediately and lifts the ban on the
sale and consumption of all pork pro-
ducts, including ham, bacon and lard,
which had been on the restricted list
for several months.
There are now no restrictions on
the sale or consumption of meats OF
any kind in California and the ban
on the pork meats was eliminated IN
order that the public might concen-
trate it's attention on the new wheat
saving program, declared by the food
administration to be "vital military
necessity" and because sufficient
surplus of hams and bacon has been
created by the observance OF "Pork-
less" Tuesdays to meet the present
export needs Of the Allies.
Il With restrictions on all other foods
| removed temporarily, the Food Ad'
ministration announced that the new
wheat t-saving program would entail
but small sacrifice on the part oi
patriotic Californians, who are askee
TO reduce wheat consumption at leas
I50 per cent of normal, and more thai
that where practicable.

They Will Be In the Employ OF Uncle
Sam; Good Waues

Twenty six men from Mankato and
the neighboring towns were to leave
the city this afternoon at 5:55 o'clock
for the government navy yards at
Norfolk, Va, where they will enter
the employ of the United States gov
ernment in the construction of the
big warehouse and shipyards there.
"A. ]. TOurangeau, government labor
representative VINO has been here in
charge of the work, was pleased with
the number of men who responded
to the offer of the government.
These men will receive free trans
portation to the navy yards and while
employed there will be paid $40 per
day. Most of the men who respond
ed were between the ages of thirty
and fifty years. 1t is estimated that
seventy five applied and investigated
the offer the government is making.
About half the men who are going
are from industries here in Mankato
while the other half are from neigh
poring towns or the surrounding
country.
Mr.. Tourangeau stated that he
intends to come back to Mankato
again in about month and hopes
that many more men will be ready
to go into government employ at that
time. J, This should offer a special
inducement to farmers as they can go
into this profitable employment dur
ing the winter months and next spring
the government agrees to release them
TO take up farming again. A number
of men who are now harvesting ap-
piled in regard to the work and it is
thought they will go to the navy
yards when Mr. Tourangeau calls
here again.
