C., to inaug- i crate organizing a campaign for that j specialty, informing the public as to [ its true nature. It was pointed out that the whale is captured in blue | water many miles at sea. away from ■ shore contamination. The particular whale from which the meat advertised was taken feeds exclusively on live ' shrimps. Several recipes for prepar- ( ing whale meat, pot roast, and curry were given, according to Printers’ Ink. The meat sold at 10 cents a pound. The buildings and a part of the machinery in a Tampa brewery are to be converted into a sugar refinery plant. 1 establishing a cash market for sugar I cane in (hat locality and encouraging ' the raising of cane. The project is II being supervised by B. L. Hammer. in- ( ! I dustrial agent of the Seaboard Air Line. It lias been found that changes I in equipment can be easily made, and that cane sirup, raw sugar, and grill ' ulatcd sugar may be made at the rate iof 50 tons daily. This section of Flor- ' ida does not at present grow' sufficient j cane to keep such a plant iu operation hut while cane acreage is being developed supplies of raw sugar can be drawn from Cuba. To meet price adjustments and war 'economies in their business, many of the retail grocers of the country are adopting the Liberty Selling Plan. Not long ago the retail grocers of Newark, N. J.. and its suburbs co-operated in a newspaper announcement to the public, stating that they bad adopted Ibis plan, ami asking for co-operalion from The Liberty Selling IT:n 'embodies material reductions in prices on staple foods, and the public is askI ed Io aid the reduction by paving ca di * for merchandise and taking it home ' wherever ixissible. Delivery service is maintained but customers are asked to gay a nominal delivery fee. Where goods arc charged on account, a small sum is added for Ihe actual labor and, cost of carrying the account. The report of tlie work of the Boy Scouts of America in the Second Liberty Loan drive has been made public H shows that the Boy Scouts were directly responsible for the sale of $101.133,G00 in bonds. This means that they procured about s’i per cent of the total subscriptions to the loan, and the number of bonds they sold show that they secured 1 subscription out of every 18. This is a splendid Irtcord for the hoys of America and a 1 hopeful sign for the future of the country when the boys Os the land are willing and able to perform such valuable public service. It is to leave them such a national heritage as our forefathers of the Revolution bequeath ed to their descendants that the proceeds of the Liberty Loan are to be used.
