PRICE OF FOOD NAY Be FIXED

Intensive development Of the food
producing powers Of the United
States on a scale never before con-
templated was discussed by Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Houston
as the means of meeting one Of the
vital problems of the war with
Germany.
Secretary Houston returned from
st. Louis, where he conferred with
Representatives Of the great grain
raising states. He laid before the
President plans under which the
Federal government working in CO.
operation with states and local
agencies, will put forth its utmost
endeavors to stimulate the produc-
ton and economical distribution Of
foods.
The plans include a request for
legislation by Congress giving the
government the power to regulate
and fix food prices and if necessary
to license large distributing agen-
cies. Secretary Houston will soon
begin conferences with COMPRESSION
al leaders to agree on the terms of |
the needed bills.
To continue the governments agi- |
tation for increased production and
economy in the use of foodstnffs, |
President Wilson probably will issue
a proclamation to the nation soon
calling attention to the situation.
Secretary Houston, through the
st. Louis conference, already has
begun the erection of an organiza-
ton extending into every state
through which activities of the Fed
eral government can be carried on.
This organization will be represent
ed in the states by the commission
ers of agriculture and agents of the
land grant colleges and in local
communities by committees of farm
ers and business men.
Secretary Houston said the gov
eminent was counting on the active
of every man, woman
and child in the United States and
that the increased powers to be re-
luested of Congress was only aim
ed to meet local situations and
where drastic action
might be necessary.
The government expects people in
he cities to stop the waste of
foods and people in the country to
'aise more. The task of getting
-oung men and boys not needed in
he army or in industries to under,
axe farm work will be undertaken.

Planting spies in enemy territory

Lieutenant Bert Hall, one Of the
first Americans to join the allied

of this rare sport" here for the

ION these special missions"
explained Lieut.. Hall, "only men
of the strongest nerve were Sc

or destruction.
"They we're sneaked behind the

and picked up again-if still alive

the trouble arose over a recent
change in location of the canton

PRICES
NEARLY
D0u Bile

Unless the presidents food
control bill is passed at once,
food prices will rise to such a
point that the nation will he
physically impoverished and to-
tally unable to carry on its part
in the war.
This is the conclusion to be
drawn from figures compiled by
Chief Statistician Ethelbert Stew
art of the u. S. bureau of labor
statistics.
According to these figures the
advance in prices of the principal
articles of food on April 16 over
March Is was nine per cent-tiIe
greatest advance in food prices in
any one month since the outbreak
of the European war.
Still more startling, however,
are the figures for the year end
ing April 16, 1917.
The advance in all food prices
com bined in the year amounted
to 81 per cent. Potatoes were
140 per cent higher i'm April this
year than in April last year. On
ions were 40 per. cent higher,
while beans advanced 20 per
cent, and flour ~ per cent.
Figures at the bureau
show that since the outbreak
of the European war in 1914,
RETAIL PRICES OF ALL
FOODSTUFFS W HI @ II
AMERICA USES HAVE AD-
VANCED MORE THAN 40
PER CENT. American con-
sumers are paying nearly
twice as much for food today
as they were before the war.
That these prices are largely
due to private control Of food
stuffs is proved by thorO Off
ciaI investigation Just concluded
in the District of Columbia, the
results Of which are now being
published by the U. S. bureau Of
labor statistics.
Secretary of Labor Wilson has
laid the facts before President
Wilson.
