PLAIN VIEW, TEXAS
The food administration has
announced the suspicion of meat-
less regulations for 30 days, be-
ginning March 30. The tempo-
rary relaxation of restrictions
was decided upon in view of the
heavy run of hogs to market
which has increased the meat
supply beyond the country’s
shipping and storage capacity.
Pood administrator H. C. Hoov-
er has issued a statement ex-
pressing the hope that packers
and others would not be so fool-
ish as to make the “holiday” a
“holiday of price raising.”
Mr. Hoover stated there is
greater need of meat abroad
than ever, but that unfortunate
it was impossible to ship to our
allies the overproduction of meat
in this country.

liberally. To all we wish to ex-

short and this amount will great-
ly help us.

members are knitting now, and
others would help in this line if
they could get the thread. More
thread is expected scon.
