alarm Telephone messages were
hurriedly flashed to police headquar-
ters and Operator Harkness notified
Chief Magill, who ordered the Fame
and Reliance companies TO go to the
farm. They made record-breaking
runs to the blaze. While the Will
mington firemen we're on their way,
Ratledge summoned his neighbors
and a bucket brigade was formed.
When the fire fighters reached the
farm they found the barn a roaring fur
mace. but made determined and repeated
efforts TO check the fire, which assumed
such proportions as to threaten the
Ratledge residence. Firemen were bat
Ting with the flames at press time, and
it is believed they will be able to save
the house. The barn is total loss.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l4.-The most

PORK Price falls;
SUGAR Goes HIGHER

Fall of a 81 hundred in the price
of pork, a raise of 1-2 cent a pound in
sugar and weakness of flour were
features of the Wilmington market for
foodstuffs today The changes are
regarded as significant by retailers
and are encouraging to consumers.
This. Of course, does not apply to
sugar.
Straight beef continues to command
high prices, retailers being forced to
pay SIS and SIG per hundred, but it
is said that if it is impossible to ex-
port because of lack of shipping these
figures will be shaded within a few
days. Pork has been selling at SIS
and $40 a hundred, until today, and
the demand has been light.
Flour merchants say their product
is holding it's own so far as retail
prices are concerned but that weak
ness is evidenced at mills. Prices
dropped 10 cents a barrel. They be-
lieve future changes will depend on
conditions surrounding the export
trade. Inability of millers to ship
flour abroad will send prices down
ward. This is because of bumper
grain crops.
Sugar prices jumped 1-2 cent to-
day. The retailers are charging s
cents a pound, although one store is
giving a half cent rebate II tea and
coffee are purchased at the same time.
Sugar purchases at this place are linn
tied to 10 pounds to each person.
There has been practically no
change in the price Of other commod-
tiles.

TO Yield WAR TAX
Local Revenue District
Would Collect $4,000
Monthly Under New Law
EXTRA COST ON
THE CONSUMER

Officials'of the local Internal Rev
enue office are keenly interested in
the announcement OF Majority Leader
Oscar W. Underwood that the Demo-
cratic House and Senate will pass a
"war tax" bill increasing the tax on
beer tobacco and cigars They are
closely watching proceedings at the
capital and guessing what the in
creased revenue will be from liquor
dealers and tobacco manufacturers in
Wilmington.
According TO the Underwood pro-
gram Il is proposed to double the in
ternal revenue tax on the products
mentioned. Should the measure be
drafted and adopted along the lines
indicated by Representative Under
wood the tax on beer will be 81 a bar
rel, while tobacco manufacturers will
pay 10 cents a pound. The whiskey
tax will jump to S2.20 a gallon, while
cigar makers will have TO pay Sc
aud $3.50 a thousand. the former for
large and the latter for small
smokes. Revenue collections Mt
the local Office last month amounted
to S35,597.55. Should the proposed
tax increase be made there is every
reason 20 believe that collections here
Will run above $4,000 a month.
Passage of the Underwood bill will
mean that the increase must be paid
for by the consumer in either one or
two ways. Buffet men may raise the
price of beer or reduce the size of the
5-ccnt glrss Tobacconists may sell D.
cent cigars for 10 cents or lower the
quality of tobacco. Il is probable that
5-ccnt smoking and chewing tobaccoa
will double in price OF that purchasers
will receive smaller-sized packages and
pieces of inferior quality. Revenue ofli.
cials are certain the increase will be
paid by the public.

ON THE HIGH Prices

PACKERS, ETC. ARE
ORDERED TO APPEAR
By The United Press.


WASHINGTON, Aug. l4--A grand
jury investigation OF increased foodstun
prices in the District of Columbia was
begun in the Federal courts here today,
directed by the United States District
Attorney. Local heeus Of packing COM
panies, the big Central markets, whole.
sale groeers and hotel proprietors were
subpoenaed.
Orders were issued by Secretary of
Commerce Reddeld to his special agents
throughout the country to make a thor
ough probe of the food price situation
in their community. These orders de
manded that special attention be given
to sudden increases. TO any speculative
price rises, and 10 attempts TO corner a
market. Redfield declared that increased
consumption Of sugar In the past four
months may have something TO do with
the abnormally high price of that com
modify, but he was inclined TO be sus-
picious of much of the recent initiation.
He indicated, too, that some of the
price raising may have been done with.
out conspiracy, one dealer or large pro-
ducer merely setting the prices for
others
Botn Secretary Redfield and Attor.
noy General Mckeynolds conferred with
President Wilson concerning progress OF
the food price investigation. Mercy.
nolds said his agents are beginning 70

yet TO show whether there Is actual
conspiracy to initiate prices. Thus far

punishment. but he is making an inves.
tigation TO find il there Is any other law
