PURE WHEAT FLOUR 1. AT MODERATE PRICE
Consumers Informed Flour Is Derived From Pure
 Wheat
Rv A..ocis,sa p,ess

New York, December 24.-The United States Grain corporation announced to- night that the government pure wheat flour is now on sale in small packages lat moderate prices in hundreds of retail grocery stores throughout the United States and that merchants selling it will be provided, or application, with posters advising their customers of the fact. In d supplementary statement issued by Wat son Moore, second vice president of the corporation, consumers are informed that the flour is in no sense a war or substitute artic.e. but derived from pure wheat.
 ''The regular flour trade" said Mir. Moore should also understand that this campaign is in no sense designed to dis credit their regular business, or the brands which they ordinarily handled.
 They recognize, I am sure, that this is but part of a general campaign On the part of the government to reduce the high cost of living ane encourage thrift on the part of our people by supplying them with a lower price flour"
 MT. Moore added that rumors of flour shortage are utterly without foundation and that, in fact, flour stocks gre ap- proximately 90 per cent larger than they were at this time last year.

THE QUEEN OF sHEBA OF 1919

The sheriffs rode in state coacheS'

 beadle, mace-b bearer and sword- bearer.
 Their coaches were dreams of magnifi1

 so gilded and twinlSly that they were

 Beyond mortal imagination, even Tn disturbed sleep nothing less than revelation: the apothesis of grandeur and splendor and lordly luxury was the lord mayors presence. What is the nth degree of magnificence and glory to you: million-d dollar limousine GOV cred with diamonds and rubies2 It would be bedimmed, eclipsed, degraded until it was little more than wheel
 barrow alongside the lord mayors state coach.
 Ahead clattered the Holden heralds on horseback blowing their fanfare on silver trumpets. Functionaries in re- galia much more stupendously awesome than that of the supreme past master of the Knights of Pythias walked III advance of the supreme one, and they had tall swagger sticks, and their man ner seemed to decree; Hold your breathl It is almost here,

 A-TREMBLE AND A-QUIVER The state coach is drawn by six pow erful horses. They, naed all their strength. The coach weighs tons, and the lord mayor, with his beadle. mace bearer and sword bearer, are usually distinguished by their girth. Two un- forgettable flunkies are on the driver s box: and behind, high up has him a an 1 som are two more, with a fifth in midway clinging position.
 1 The enormous coach is suspended on great springs that keep it trembling and webbing. although probably in a mfortable equilibrium. The wheels are golden and so are the doors and sides except where ornamented with large mural paintings and crests If you had once seen this, EliJah could loop-the-loop in his chariot of fire and you would only yawn.

so vulgarly showy. yet official, and so opposite to the modesty and reserve ex- pected of London English.
 As a re-enactment of an ancient pageant it has some value. The bad thing is that the ancient spirit is re- vivified too-a feudalistic spirit The fat-cheeked overlord is trundled in a dazzling coach, with retinue and equip page of superlative sumptuousness, through several miles of his choice do- main, to invite the huzzas of his new subjects. He calls himself lord mayor, yet his district is but the kernel of the city, some 500 acres of office buildings filled with millions of workers in the daytime, but with fewer than lS,000 registered residents. so he is both vol untary monstrosity and tolerated hum buzz" as an Englishman described him
 If the new lord mayor would put aside his Queen of Sheba robes, his Tu- dor retinue and his Cinderella carriage to ride unostentatiously through the streetsson the day of his inauguration, the ceremony still would have an un- democratic essence. The lord mayor is elected annually from the body of city aldermen, who are chosen for life among the masters of city guards. The people have no voice in his election They have no option but to accept him His willingness to exhibit himself in gaudy triumph, and the peoples will ingness to cheer him lustily, convicts the stately orgy of being un-English blatant1y undemocratic and wretchedly in bad taste as compared with circus and carnival parades in America.

Coal Price Increase 4 Not Due to Producers,
 Mine Operators State
By Associated Press

Chicago, December 24.-Illnois coal op- orators declared today that the increase in the retail price. off coal of between 30 and B cents ton, as announced by Several fuel companies, did not result from high price being charged by the producers because of the wage boost granted to end the miners strike.
 D. w. Buchananfi, member of the op- orators association, asserted that while the increase could be legally added to the price of coal mined under contract his company and nearly all others in the Illinois field were not going to do it be- cause we feel that the spirit of the Washington negotiations was not to charge the householder more money.
