Although the Bureau of Markets, through its city marketing division, is keeping in touch with developments in many cities and is compiling in- MANY CITIES TACKLE LOCAL FOOD PROBLEMS the "Budapest Special" carrying re- lief supplies from Paris to Hungary, found.their cigarets their best money and the only medium with which they could easily accelerate the work on which they came. At one point they were informed the train must be held The North Shore Stu 9- Wo dio The Home of Good Photography , United States Department of Agri- culture Assists Towns in Estab- lishing Public Food Markets The introduction of the Public market project on the north shore has met with general approval in local households. What the United States department of Agriculture is doing to promote similar projects throughout the country is set forth in the accompanying article from a re- cent issue of the Weekly News Letter of the department. That municipalities are tackling their local food problems in a variety of ways, some of them unusual, is evidenced by reports received by the city marketing division of the Bureau of Markets, United States Depart- ment of Agriculture. From establishing curb markets, re- modeling, or building 'retail market houses, efforts of cities have expand- ed until some are actually selling food supplies, while one city of about 65.000 population is operating a farm and selling produce from it at retail. How One City Sells Food Houston, "exas, which has a muni- cipally owned retail market house, has taken over three stalls in the building and is handling fruits and vegetables. in competition with its tenants. In order to be fair to other retailers it charges itself with allover- head expenses paid by other dealers, including rent, and also pays wages higher than those paid in other stalls. Reports on 10 weeks' operation of the city-managed stalls show that it is possible to buy and sell produce in competition with local merchants at both a direct and indirect saving to consumers. The experiment is to be enlarged 'to include food products other than fruits and vegetables and is said to be already serving as a stabilizing influence on prices in that city market. Competing merchants have become interested in the meth- ods of doing business in the city- operated stalls and appear anxious to try out practices that would enable them to lower their prices. A City Goes Into Farming Allentown, Pa., has gone into farm- ing on a farm acquired for other pur- poses which, through changes in municipal plans, was lying idle. Under the direction of one of the city aldermen this farm is producing vegetables and selling them at retail in competition. with shipped-in pro- duce. The farm also feeds 1,444 head of hogs on city garbage. Local ad- vocates of the plan now propose to include the use of an old brewery as formation for use in answering in- quiries, it states that it would be glad to hear from any cities, not yet. reach- ed by formal inquiries, which are working on 'local food problems through municipally-owned shops and by other methods differing from those that have been followed in the past. The Bureau plans to make available information in regard to the successes and failures of cities in their efforts to solve their food prob- lems in order that municipalities con- templating special action may have the benefit of the experience of com- munities faced with similar condi- tions. AMERICAN "SMOKES" USED AS EXCHANGE MEDIUM The American cigaret is a very use- ful medium of exchange in Europe. Two years of association with the American doughboy and his ever ready supply of cigarets has given the average Kuropean an insatiable appetite for American cigarets. To- day a package will buy almost any- thing from a trip across some na- tional frontier to a quick and com- fortable passage through places be- lieved inaccessible.
