MAY ENLIST LEGION
MEMBERS TO REDUCE
HIGH LIVING COSTS


Los Angeles, Calf, June 10
A plan to enlist 10000 American
legion members In Los Angeles IN
a campaign to reduce the high cost
of living under the direction of the
city markets bureau was recently
announced by Mayor Meredith r.
Snyder.
The mayor said he proposed to
close the city's chain of markets to
the sale of produce which has
gone through the hands of middle
men. Farmers in surrounding ter
ritory. under the proposed system,
would be invited to send their
produce direct to the markets and
aid furnished them, to do so by
the city If necessary.
THE success of this plan would
depend upon there being an imme-
diate sale of the products the
mayor continued. TO that end
we intend to lay our plans before
the two local posts of the legion
and ask the members to help Sc
cure customers. The membership
of the posts probably represents
families totalling $4,000 indivd-
uals, and If these patronize the
markets under the new system 1t
will be more than sufficient to
start things off. The result, I am
confident, that the farmers will get
much better prices and the con-
sumers will get better food at less
cost than they do now
The mayor has appointed Ster-
ling s. Boothe, formerly major of
the 160th infantry. U. s. A.. city
market commissioner to work out
the project.

favor of the league, and earnestly
hone that the United States will

men should make all the stronger

spiritual relations between the ma
tons, which are, after all, the
things of highest importance

messengers of American friendlt-
ness and the extensive relief work
