HOOVER ENLISTS AN
Army OF HOUSEWIVES.
These viii Keep Tab On Re
tailers and Give InfOrma-
ton of Excessive Prices
By-sS-=- Martin,

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Sept. 6.-Food Com
missioner Herbert Hoover struck his
first smashing blow at exorbitant re-
tail prices today. He enlisted an army
of housewives to watch prices in every
community of 5000 or over. They will
report to him, by mail weekly. On the
basis of these reports and aided by
public opinion, Hoover will lash
profiteering retailers to the mast and
hammer prices down to reasonable
levels.
The plan was put into effect through
the treasury department today. In a
letter addressed to the president of
every national bank. Controller of the
Currency John Shelton Williams asked
the appointment of a "food reporter
from the staff of each bank, or from
among the women in the home of the
bank officials.
"Hoover DESIRES" said the letter
''to find correspondents in each place
who will inform themselves at the end
of each week the prices being charged
by retail grocers and food dealers fol
thirty articles named"
This plan is announced on the heels
of a report by Governor Edge, of New
Jersey, following a state wide investi
CATION, that retail dealers handling
New Jersey products in New York
City have made from 80 to 900 pei
cent profits, whereas the producer an6
middleman got a very small margin.

WHEAT WILL BRING
$22O IN PORTLAND
Mr.. Hoover Says Chicago
Bases VIII Be Used
Temporarily

Portland, Or, Sept. 6.-Pending final
determination of basic grain price for
Portland and other north Pacific coast
terminals, buyers were authorized yes
terday to do business on the basis of the
recently established Chicago market, or

ter wheat.
M. H. Houser, agent for the Federal
Grain Corporation in Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho,, promulgated a schedule
of prices for the various grades and spe-
cies of wheat grown in the northwest
and advised the trade that it is at lib
erty to buy on this schedule with the
restriction, however that grain cannot
be held for more than 80 days, as pro
vided by the newly enacted federal food
laws.
Portland Used as Basic Point.
Meanwhile the Chamber of Commerce
and various farmers organizations in
the northwest are active in their efforts
to have Portland established as a pri-
mary wheat market on veritable par
ity with Chicago.
1t is pointed out that if all the gov
ernment vessels now being built here
are loaded with government grain, des-
tined for the allied countries, the bulk
of the season s crop not required for
local consumption. can be handled by
water. hus the expensive rail haul,
which would reduce the price of grain
in the interior to $1.90, would be elm
mated.
