WRITE YOUR OWN
EDITORIAL ON THIS

The department of justice has an
nounced the dates OF Save Money
On Meat week in the various states.
During these weeks an effort will be
made to reduce materially the prices
OF the cuts of beef, pork and lamb
now in heavy demand by showing
the advantage of turning
to those which are equally nutritious
but which cost much less.
The first Save Money On Meat
week, which has been previously an
nounced, will be held from March 2z
to March q throughout each of the
following states: Illinois, Wiscon-
sin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Iowa, indl-
ana, Michigan, New Jersey and New
York.
The week beginning March 20 will
be allotted to Maine, Vermont, Massa-
chusetts, Washington, California, New
Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Is
land and Oregon.
The week beginning April 5 to:
Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, South
Carolina, Florida, Mississippi, Arkan-
sas, Missouri, West Virginia, Della
ware, North Carolina, Tennessee
Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana.
The week beginning April IL to:
Nevada, Texas, Kansas, South Da-
kota, North Dakota, Idaho, Colorado
New Mexico, Oklahoma, Nebraska
Minnesota, Montana, Wyoming, Utah
and Arizona.
On each day of Save Money On
Meat week some particular cut OF
cuts of the expensive variety will be
featured and will be sold at a low
price. Retailers, who, hitherto have
not carried in stock some of the less
costly utS because their customers
did not ask for them, intend to Lay
in adequate quantities of such por-
tons of meat. If the consumers will
take advantage of the highly nutri'
tious and palatable pieces of meat
which are relatively inexpensive, the
saving effected win be tremendous
and the slackened demand for the
cuts now popular will result in lower
prices thereon.

REFORM
YOURSELF

The chief concern of too many peo-
pie is the reformation of somebody
else. With the exception of certain
corporations, organized baseball and
a few other mercenary concerns,
every organization in America is de-
voting most of it's time to the sins
that beset people in some other level
of life. We have already reached that
semi-heaven of life where nobody has
to pay any attention to his own bust
ness-least of all to his own short
comings. Perhaps. after we have had
a rich experience in being oul
brothers keepers, We may acquire
sense enough to take care of our
selves.
Our insurgent reformers should
bear in mind that polyglot populistic
Inconsistencies, socialistic vagaries
and political idiosyncracies are not
necessarily evidence of statescraft.

of the opinion last year that they

him in the committee on resolutions.
Johnson, undoubtedly will make his
first fight on the League of Nations
plank in the platform. If that fight
is made and won by him in the COM
mittee, it will not be brought to the
floor. but if he is astute he will not
let it be won in committee, and will
father a minority report to be fought
out on the floor.
Ordinarily, the procedure on the
floor of the convention would be to
move the previous question on the
minority report and go to a vote and
adopt it, but the probability is that if
Johnson and Borah and the others
bring in a minority report on the
League of Nations plank. the conven-
ton will vote down the previous ques-
ton and allow them to go to it. At
least. if the convention is not entirely
devoid of political sense that is what
will be done, and there is where john
son will have his great and final op-
portunity to win for himself.
UP Against a Hardhearted Bunch.
However, there are 500 delegates in
that convention who have sat in other
conventions. ranging all the way from
hardboiled to four minute eggs so far
as the chance of their being swayed
by OratOrv and enthusiasm is Oncern-
ed and it is not expected that John.
son will get much more out of this
fight than plenty of applause. He may
but the leaders think not.
Thus. if that program carried that
far then the real work of selecting the
man to be nominated will begin to
show. There are many others beside
7 lnr Tnh Irvfan
supporters think they have a chance
to win after these three are eliminat~
ed. The most feasible and most prob
able at this writing is Governor Sprout
of Pennsylvania. His chances for the
nomination are excellent, provided
this program works as set forth. The
| Pennsylvania delegation is for him.
His supporters say he is big business
man and has had a long experience
in politics; is governor of the state,
| is right on the important questions Of
prohibition and suffrage; has a good
| legislative and executive record. and
is a big. two-fisted. outstanding man,
with a dash of Quaker in him, and a
lot of red blood.
Suits Everybody, They Say.
SprOul has had no connection with
any expenditures for delegates. his
| supporters say, and is conservative
enough to appeal to the business men
of the country, being one himself, as
well as progressive enough to suit the
( sanely radical element.
Those are his recommendations as
presented by his supporters. Those
are the things that are being taken
into consideration by the leaders.
Some of the politicians say it isn't
good politics to take a man from Penn
sylvania, as that state is Republican
by half a million. Those say Sproul
isn't enough of a national character.
/ These objections are pooh-poohed by
the SprOul hackers.
! The fact of it is that on this Sunday
+ of convention week, one day before the
/ convention opens, the most likely man
! for the nomination, in case either
Wood, Johnson or Lowden fails OF
nomination, is Sproul.

Governors of Gas-Using
States Called to Meeting;
Will Consider Situation

A very important meeting of the
governors OF natural gas using states,
public service commissioners and
other representatives of the public, in
connection with meeting of the nat
ional committees on natural gas con-
servation, has been called by the sec
retary of the interior for Friday, June
II. in the auditorium of the new in
terror building at Washington, d. c.
for the purpose of going into details
of the committees conclusions in the
interest Of natural gas conservation,
which is now occupying the thoughts
of men high up in industry and the
government.
The governors of natural gas using
states are taking a keen interest in
the movement for the saving OF gas,
and 1t Is expected that every one OF
the Is states will be represented at
the Washington meeting on June IL.
The acting directors letter to Govern
or James NJ. Cox, of Ohio. stated that
his state was the largest gas-consum-
ing state in the union, over 500 towns
being dependent on the natural fuel,
and that means three-fourths of the
population of the state. AS very
large proportion of the gas is imported
from West Virginia, an interstate
study of the problem is imperative.
AS to a crisis in the natural gas in
dustry, this is not debatable, it is an
accepted fact, and the question is now
to get the proper relief. One of the
big features of the meeting will be the
adoption of the service of economics
teachers, proper equipment, etc, in
suring the correct use of gas.
