It is, therefore, necessary for the U. S. Food Adiulnla-- t ration to urge a still further reduction In the consumption of bread and bread-stuffgenerally if we are to meet our export necessities. The Food Administration has Issued a statement explaining the situation lu detail, particularly the reasons which lead It, for the purpose of centering effort for the time being upon the cereal situation to relax temporarily the restrictions on meat consumption. Experience shows, this statement says, that the consumption of bread-stuff- s Is intimately associated with the consumption of meat. For various reasons our supplies of meat for the next two or three months are considerably enlarged, anil we can supply the allies with all of the meat products which transportation facilities render possible and at the same time somewhat increase our own consumption. )n these circumstances the Food considers H wise to relax the voluntary restrictions op meat consumption to some extent with a view to further decreasing bread consumption. Conservation of food must be adjusted to meet necessities from time to time, for neither production, nor allied demands are constant factors, nor can any of these factors he anticipated for long periods In advance In the disturbed conditions in which we at present live. While the world situation Is not one (hat warrants any relaxation in the efforts to eliminate waste or to relax economy in fooj, the Administration desires to serure better adjustment In food balances. So long as the present conditions continue the only special restrictions we ask are the beeftess and porkless Tuesday. The meatless meal and the porkess Saturday are no longer asked. The farmers of the United States are responding to the national call to Increase hog production. Their Increase, to all appearances, Is being attained more rapidly. Of more Immediate Importance, however, are seieral complex factors which have effected an Immediate Increase In meat supplies. The transportation shortage before the government took over the railroads, the bad weather in January and early In February, the large percentage of Immature corn ip the last harvest and the necessity of feeding this corn ns rapidly as possible to save It from decay, have not only resulted lu backing up the animals particularly hogs on the farms for a longer period of feeding, hut have resulted in a great iucrease In their average weight and will result, with improved transportation conditions, which already ap pear, in larger than normal arrivals at market for t lit next two or ttiree months. The weight of hogs coming to the market for the past two weeks Indicates an Incrense In weight of from an average of 1103 pounds last year to the almost unprecedented average of 2311 pounds, or a net Increase In their. meat value of over 13 per cent. This is a distinct addition to the nation's meat supply. It therefore now seems .certain that we have such enlarged supplies for at least some months to come, that we can not only Increase our exports to the allies to the full extent of their transportation facilities, hut at the same time can properly increase our domestic consumption. The response of the public to our requests for reduced consumption of meat during ttie past few months has tieeu' most gratifying, and this service alone lias enabled the government during this period to provide such supplies ns transportation to the allies permitted. The Administration also suggests that In those parts of the country where the old fashioned home preservation of pork Is still the custom, this practice should be extended at the prenent time, as It will relieve the bur den uiMin transportation to and from the packing houses aud Is economical ly sound as saving the cost of packing operations and at the same time will provide home supplies of pork to last over the months of decreased supplies. The Food Administration desires to repeat that It does not want to give the Impression that these are times when simplicity ami moderation of living are not critically necessary, bur that its sole desire Is to secure an ad tns'incut between our different food upplies nnd meet Changing conditions to time and to keep the pule iul! and frankly advised of Its "I'h the full confidence and n c that whenever It becomes i y renewed appeuis for saving will net the same loyal raeponss aa la the s Only a few people in Utah county, in proportion to the AN APPRECIATION The editor wishes to heartily thank the good people ot Pay-so,who have helped in any n way to make this paper possible.

Nielsen and Chief Probation Officer 11. I). Roper were in Iayson last Friday attending to juvenile delinquent cases. The Judge says that he usually has more trouble with the adults than the juveniles. Since last August we have handled more adults than in the ten years previous, the Judge remarked. While in Payson the officers handled three cases. Two minors were find $10.00 each for smoking cigarettes, and it would have cost them more had it not been the first offense. It cost another young man, eighteen years old, $10.00 to give a cigarette to a minor. Judge Nielsen, wishes to especially warn parents of the disastrous effect of cigarette smoking by young boys; also to warn dealers against selling tobacco, and says they will necessarily have to be dealt with according to law. According to expert information received by Mr. Nielsen, he says that one of the greatest doctors in our country gave out the information recently that the smoking of cigarettes by young boys is much more harmful than whis- - total population, have the wish and the will to save systematicOnly a ally and persistently. few people anywhere are good savers. Prodigality is an American disease. Very few of us lay in store against the rainy day, and not many of us use system in our business and; keep an accurate account of how much we make and how much we spend. Americans are not taught economy, for one thing, because there are few capable of teach-- , ing and for another thine be-- , cause stinginess is regarded as a reprehensible quality. But it isnt necessary to be stingy in order to save a portion of ones income. Too often it is accepted by the young Americans associates that if he declines to let go all of his wages or salary he is a tightwad. It has always been so easy to get along in America, to get in by, that the majority, every generation prefer to drift along with the tides rather than anchor and gather moss The New Englanders of old Yankee stock are credited with being the best American savers.
