r-
FOOD SAVING IN
STATE OF FLORIDA
People of Florida who have been
asking: questions as to what the Food
Administration would do in actual aid
of , the consumer are answered in a
statement by Hon. Braxton Beacham,
Federal Food Administrator for
Florida,., who declares that there is
certain and swift relief in' sight.
"I am goingr to do all in my power
under authority that U. S. Food Ad
ministrator Herbert Hoover has given
me, to lower the cost of living in
Florida," says Mr. Beacham. "We
secured the names of more than 120,
000 "people in this state who promised
to conserve our much-needed sup
plies of wheat, meat, and sugar, and
it is my intention to help repay them
for. their loyal efforts and lofty pa
triotism.' This can best be accom
plished by a gradual lowering of the
prices of necessities, such as must be
bought from the retail stores, and I
have in mind such plans to put be
fore the merchants as will be of ma
terial assistance to the consumer. I
and at the same time will benefit the j
dealers, both wholesale and retail.
The working out of these plans de
pends on the loyalty of the people to
the pledges they have given, "and
their further attention to the subject
of food conservation. I need only
point to the fact that there has al
ready been a great deal acomplished
$n stabilizing prices, and as the
work goes on even greater things
will result. But to get the , best and
quickest results the people must be
studious. They must learn to in
quire about cost of provisions, and
must aternly i oppose any efforts of
. unscrupulous dealers to take advan
tage of any temporary shortage of
articles of common use. If they will
do this and will keep my office in
formed of .;' cases of unreasonable
prices or extortion, . short weights
and other acts of dishonesty, they
will be a srreat help in lowering the
cost of living in Florida."

SPECIAL MEETING
OF COUNTY BOARD
A special meeting of the board of
county commissioners will be held at
eight o'clock this morning at the court
house .when the board will leave on a
trip through the county inspecting
sites to be used as a poor farm-
At the regular meeting of the board
Tuesday it was decided that a change
should be made, as the present farm
is inadequate for the needs of the
county, and is a great expense to the
taxpayers. It Is believed that it can
be disposed of to advantage, and that
a larger place, better adapted to farm -ing
can be obtained, and the inmates
be supported by work on the farm,
with little or no drain on the trehaury.
