Department of Justice Plans to
Teach Housewives to Buy
Cheaper Cuts of Meat.
BUTCHERS APPROVE PLAN
Under Present Marketing Con-
diti0ns Much Valuable Food
Not Used to Advantage.

Washington, March THE depart
ment of justice announced today that
it intends to begin within a few weeks
an intensive educational campaign de-
signed to lower txe consumers meat
bill materially.
"The plan to be used has been tested
by the department in several places in
order that it's economic soundness
might be demonstrated. It is expected
that the efforts of the department
will have the cooperation of retail
meat dealers throughout the country
as well as the cooperation of the
whole packing industry, including sew
eral hundred different companies.
"The department will attempt to
show the consumer the advantage of
turning away from the high priced
cuts of meat, where the demand is
now concentrated. to the less costly
cuts, which constitute the bulk of the
meat animal. and which, when cor
rectly prepared, are of high nutritive
value and great palatability.
This plan early received the sanction
of numerous retailers, both individu-
ais and association officials. Hun
dreds of wholesalers and packing
companies throughout the country
have now agreed to cooperate.
The economic theory upon which
the department is proceeding has
been corroborated by other govern
mental agencies in close touch with
marketing conditions. After an in
vestigation of these conditions and
experiments in limited localities. the
department of justice finds this situa-
ton existing with reference to the
purchase of meats at retail:
Those cuts of meats which are in
heaviest demand = called choice
steaks and rib roasts-constitute less
than one-fourth of the steer. This con-
centration of demand on the portions
which are available IN the least guam
tity has dsiveu urreiie fh.ice OF the very
cuts which are the trnost popular.
Failure to take advantage Oh the
less costly cuts seems due to two
factors-lack of knowledge concern
ing the preparation of the inexpensive

READYFOR HARD
DRIVE ON TICKS
Federal Officials in Charge
Hope to Clean Up More Than
80 Counties This Year

Washington, d. c., March 7-March
finds preparations well under way for
the 1920 campaign against the cattle
fever tick. Prospects for effective work
are so encouraging that federal Off
cials in charge of tick eradication eX-
pect that at least ninety counties in
the various tick infested states will
be made ready for release from fed
eral quarantine next December l.
This will mean a much larger amount
OF territory cleaned up than was placed
in the free area last year.
Only 80 per cent of the total area
originally ouarantined remains under
tick domination, and il should b"
materially reduced this year. The end
OF the long campaign which began
actively in 1906 is well in sight, and
with continued cooperation from the
state and county governments the
bureau of animal industry, United
States department of agriculture
hopes that in not more than three
years the south will be tick-free-

POLITICAL DOPE
IS INTERESTING
Fact That Only One Candidate
Can Be Elected to Each Of
flee Has Been Overlooked

The political dope is becoming more
interesting day by day, and by the time
the June primary is held Escambia
county folks will have had enough OF
candidates to last any ordinary COM
munity n dozen years. Candidates
generally speaking, don't like to be
told the truth about themselves or
their possibilities. There are about
five candidates for every office and
although it is certain only one can
win, the four who are scheduled to
lose gets peeved when told about it.
For Example. district 4 has five an
nounced candidates for the office OF
county commissioner. They are: w. c
Barrineau, former commissioner; j. r.
NJ. Gates, former representative to
the legislature; Robert McKinnon, r.
C. Cooper and Henry Chalker. Only
one of these candidates can win. The
question as to which man has the
greatest political strength is not hard
to answer and yet the other four are
displeased when told to save their
money.
The same condition is true in the
race for city commissioner. So far
as the election is concerned the case
is settled and the primary and general
election are mere matters of form,
despite the fact that the campaign
has nearly month to go. The cam
didates are Mayor Sanders and Oliver
J. Semmes.
Ex-S Sheriff J. C. Van PeIt, Chief of
Police Cary Ellis and j. s. Fillingim
have announced their candidates. for
sheriff Sheriff Whitaker and Joe
Hicks are expected to announce short
ly.
Two of the candidates can be placed
definitely as Cats men. One is cam
paigning on a platform of justice fol-
the worlxingman. The race appears tC
be between Messrs. Van Pelt and
Ellis. Both have strong followings. arc
able campaigners, and have good rec
ords and regulations. Mr.. Van Pelt
has great strength in the country. Mr.
Ellis, although putting the light pedal
on promises. has numerous friends in
the labor organizations. especially
among the railroad brotherhoods.
The situation with regard to other
county offices is scarcely clarified as
vet In district l, t. t. Wentworth,
Jr. and Gam Morgan are the only an
nounced candidates. There have been
no announcements in district which
is represented by Gus Soderlind, but
at least three other candidates are
likely to enter the race. Hamp Candy
in district will be opposed by Henry
Garrett who has already announced,
and possibly by Glenn Largue. So far
there have been no announcements
from district where Commissioners
McCurdy appears TO be the only can
didate.
Harry w. Thompson has announced
as a candidate TO succeed Hon. X. A.
McGeachy, state attorney. Mr.. Thomp-
son appears to have several advant-
ages over the present incumbent in

FLETCHER BUSY
FILING CLAIMS
Obtained Passage of Relief Act
in Form to Cover Florida
Castor Bean Losses.
(sy GEORGE n. mANNINe1

Washington, D. c., March 7-Sena-
tor Duncan u. Fletcher, of Florida,
who was directly responsible for the
passage of the relief act by congress
in such a form as to cover castor bean
claims. stated today that formal
awares have been made to more than
eight hundred of Helm & Walker s
sub -contracto and the details OF
issuing government checks TO be
transmitted direct from the war de-
partment is now ins progress.
Meanwhile the audit of the records
of the other prirno contractors, namely
D. c. Giuett, 3. =. Hammer. T. 8.
Evans. G. G.. Ware. and the Miami
chamber of commerce. will soon be
completed, whereupon award will be
made similarly TO their sub-contrac-
tors who filed claims on proper blanks
for leases sustained IN endeavoring to
produce castor beans during the world
war.
A favorable decision with respect to
the CO stor bean claims was handed
down by the board of contract ADJUST
ment several months ago, but it has
required considerab BILE time TO perfect
the machinery for handlins the many
thousands of claims involved. But the
claims board now has matters in shape
to complete the awards as rapidly as
the audit progresses, and it is con-
fidently expected that all the Florida
claimants will be paid during the next
thirty to sixty days.
Credit for the recognition and set
tlaYnant of a acrn .loiy &c
due to the untiring efforts of Senator
Fletcher, who as a member of the SEN
ate committee on military affairs. and
one of the conferees which proposed
the legislation. at the critical moment
offered certain amendments which
were necessary to broaden it's scope
so as to include castor bean claims
which il was freely admitted were NOT
covered by the bill as originally drawn
and he should receive the thanks of
every castor bean claimant for his
quick perception of the difficulties and
his very effective work making the
settlement of their claims possible
Since the passage of the act he has
worked increasingly, leaving no stone
unturned to secure an equitable ad-
justment of all claims. Only recently
he took the lead in bringing about
some greatly needed charges in pro-
cedure- with respect TO the manner OF
auditing claims. which resulted in
speeding up action on the part OF the
members Of the board.
1t has taken considerable time and
patience to bring about the desired
results. but the hearts of the MANY
growers will soon be gladdened by the
sight of Uncle Sans check.
When it is considered that many OF
the civial war claims are still pending
before the United States court of
claims. the time that will be consumed
in auditing and settling the castor
bears claims viii be very short
indeed

Washington, d. c., March THE
alleged enormous profits being n .ade

and New England states We're assailed
in the house yesterday by Congress
man John @. Tilson, of Connecticut.
who unsuccessfully urged for the
second time adoption of his resolution
to have the federal trade commission
inquire into the matter.
Baked in two attempts TO have the
alleged "profiteering' inve 7tigated,
Tilson had his resolution put on the
unanimous consent calendar and hopes
TO have it passed when reached in
about ten days.
Congressman Tilson charges that
gross profiteering is responsible for
increases ranging from 200 TO 400 per
cent in prices of combed cotton yarns.
Retail prices of corsets hosiery. un-
derwear, and all articles containing
cotton ard cloth, have been forced
skyward by the increased prices of
combed cotton yarns, Tilson asserts.
The Tilson resolution directs the
federal trade commission to inquire
into the increase in the price of comb
ed cotton yarns from 1914 to 1919; to
ascertain the cause, necessity or
reasonableness of such increases; the
differences between the increase in
the price of yarns on one hand and
increase in the cost of raw cotton and
the labor entering into manufacture
of such yarns. and to report to con-
gress as soon as practicable.
This investigation, if conducted,
will show up one of the worst cases
of profiteering ever known in the in
dustries of this country" said Tilson.
in urging the house to adopt his reso-
luton. This is an instance of price
raising so unusual and uniustifia BILE
as to come readily within the mean
ing of the word 'profiteering' in an in
dustry that operates with considerable
hardship upon a very large number of
people.
"The eXorbitatnt profits being made

probably a fifty-fifty proposition be-
tween the mills of New England and
those of the south. 1t is possible the
mills of New England have been a bit
more quiet about it.
II believe an investigation by the
federal trade commission, quickly
made, covering thoroughly all the
salient facts directly relating to the
inordinately high prices of cotton
yarns and made public at the earliest
possible moment will have a salutory
effect in bringing down prices and
