One evening just before Christmas,
according to the Photo-Play Maga-
zine, a moving pictufe house in a
small South Texas town placed a Red
Cross Christmas Seal on every ticket
sold. A little negro boy noticed the
seal on his pasteboard and went back
to the ticket window to ask what it
was for. ;
“That’s to help kill out consump-
tion,’’ explained the girl behind the
window. ,
The boy rolled his eyes thought-
fully and moved away. He was back
in a moment and handed the cashier
two more dimes.
“Gimme two more tickets,” he said.
“We all got it at home.”

I do not believe our producers of rice
will ever have a more opportune mo-
ment to bring their products before
the American people than right now,
when the high prices of foods and the
scarcity of our accustomed foods is
the chief topic discussed.

ing houses are busy overtime prepar- j

the rich can afford to knoy beans.
“I spent $11 on market the other day,”
said a housewife, -“and carried my
supplies home in my hand.”
If we may not have corn, potatoes
or beans or other accustomed cereals,
why not give us rice? Let us have
“rice day” and “rice week” just as
we have had “raisin day” and other
“days” in which to boom a particular
food.
Little concerted schemes like these
food days cannot fail to give a great
impetus to the product. Naturally,
however, it’s the old cry of co-oper-
ation, and it must be carried on
through a great common center

Thus have a “rice day” or a rice

Beaumont, Texas, December 18.—
According to statistics issued by the
Rice Millers’ Association, the distri-
bution of clean rice for the month of
November amounted to 1,374,027 pock-
ets, as compared with 859,500 pockets
for the same month last year. The
distribution for last month was the
largest, with the exception of one
month, that has ever been known.
The distribution of clean rice for
last October was 1,204,915 pockets, as
compared with 847,820 pockets for the
same month last year. The distribu-
tion for the last two months was de-
cidedly heavier than for any two con-
secutive months in the history of the
rice industry in the United States.
These figures prove that there is
an unprecedented demand for rice. '
This is due to the greatly increased
cost of other foods and the cheapness
of rice. Because of this fact rice has
been given much favorable upblicity
throughout the country during the
last few months.
During the last four months the ex-
ports of clean rice to Porto Rico to-
taled 457,853 pockets, compared with
395,499 pockets for the same period
last year.

(By Paul Pierce in the New York
Evening Mail, Pure Food Depart-
ment.)
While our various and sundry foods
and foodstuffs are going up in price,
and have been in the ascending scale
for the past two years, there is one
modest product which has kept the
even tenor of its way. Behold rice,
almost the only food which has not
gone up in price.
This is the day of opportunity for
friend rice. It is the day of oppor-
tunity, too, for several other things
and of persons connected directly or
indirectly with rice. It is the day of
opportunity for those who do not
know rice and how very valuable it is

port, the production of corn in the !
United States is practically 300 times i
as great as that of rice. Corn is a
fine food, so is the potato, but never- *

Also that;
the company expected somewhat of a
let-up in orders with the coming of
cold weather, but this cessation of
demand for the Valve-in-Head product
did not materialize. Although pro-
duction for November was in excess of
ten thousand automobiles, there were,
in spite of this enormous production,

“The Hindoo laborer,” says one
authority, “accepts for his regular
daily ration a pound of rice, which
he eats with a little ghee or melted

The Chinese adds to his rice a few
beans or a little bean cheese and a
small handful of peanuts. The Japan-,
