I
MAY ELIMINATE MANY
INDUSTRIES FROM OPERATION
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 17.—
Foreseeing early curtailment ot
nonessentral business to release
men and materials for industries
necessary in the prosecution of the
war, council of national defense
officials have taken up the problem
of what industries best can be dis
pensed with.
It was learned today that a
bureau is about to be formed to
frame a plan for eliminating non
essential business with the least
disturbance to the country’s com
merce and finance. Through its con
trol over transportation and the
supply and distribution of coal the
government can stop the operation
of any business and already has
mado a start by checking the use
of coal for electric display adver
tising. i
Coal consumption is outstripping
production and the supplies of steel
and other raw materials will not
be sufficient for war purposes if ma
nufacturers of noncssentials are
permitted to draw all the materials
they require. Therefore, the pur
pose is to get curtailment under
way before any general shortages
of materials arc felt.
The new bureau will be charged
particularly with seeing that gov
ernment agcncios seeking to ac
complish the same things work in
the same direction, to prevent con
fusion and hardship.
The greatest care is to be ex
ercized ir. listing industries as
nonossentlal to prevent errors
which might force reclassifications.
The problem of supplying neces
sary industries with labor is harder
to solve than that of supplying
them with materials. Cutting oil
the supplies from one industry
makes it easy to divert shipments
shipments to another business, but
the labor loosed in the operation
is not easy to transfer. Thus far
no satisfaction plan for moving la
bor from ono industry to another
has been worked out.
Formation of a great war coun
cil to tako up tho problems of la
bor and materials and that of
melding industry in general to war
conditions is being considered.

PAPER CLOTHING
IS GRIM REALITY
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Jan. 18.—
When they began making car
■wheels of paper some years ago it
■was such a revolutionary thing
that almost every newspaper and
magazine had articles about it.
Since then, paper has entered into
the making of so many things that
we are not surprised at any new
application of it. Washtubs, pails
of all kinds, doorknobs, the inter
io- finsh of houses—these uses of
paper are familiar to all of us.
The making of paper rugs and
carpets is becoming a big industry
in the East. We have long been
familiar with the paper napkin and
the paper drinking cup, of which
the American people use 500,000,
000 a year, five for each person in
this country. The newest article of
paper is the spoon. A new factory
in Lynn, Mass., ts making 2,600,
000 paper spoons a day. They are
coming into use at soda fountains
and ice cream parlors, being used
once and thrown away.
We have known of paper shoe
WILSON MOVES TO PREVENT
STRIKE DEPORTATIONS
WASHINGTON, D. C.,Jan. 18.—
President Wilson has taken deci
sive action, it was announced to
night, to prevent a repetition of the
Arizona deportation of striking
miners. Following a report from
his mediation committee the an
nouncement was made that he had
directed the attorney general and
the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion to look into the matter.
Deportation of 1200 striking mine
workers and sympathizers from
Bisbee by a mob which officials of
the Phelpe-Dodge Corporation are
charged with aiding, is denounced
by President Wilson's investigators.
Prosecution of men responsible
is recommended. That similar de
portations be made a criminal ast
under federal law immediately on
the reassemblage of Congress is
also urged.

ters west of the Rockies, and them i« "n r?’=on in cur mind,
why wo should not get in touch with you direct.
Mooting with a great deal of difficulty in securing refrigatcr
space for dressed poultry, we hit on the novel idea of Canning
the fresh killed chickens.
Wc gather the live chickens at our Poultry and Egg buying
stations at Petaluma, and after being milk fed they aro kil
led and dressed.
The chickens is then cut in four parts and put in cans, and
cooked under a process which retains its fine fresh flavor. We
pack a complete half chicken in the 1 1-2 lbs. cans, and a ocm
pleto whole chicken in the 3 lbs. cans, bone and all.
We arc also putting out a superior Chicken Soup with Rice,
which in our estimation, is above reproach.
Our prices are as follows:
CHICKEN. No. 1 1-2 lbs. cans, per dozen $8.25, j>er can 75c.
CHICKEN SOUP WITH RICK. Per doz. $1.50, per can 15c.
