Cut in Flour Price
Coming in 3 Weeks

NEW YORK, Nov. 22,-To prove
that rumors concerning scarcity of
flour and advancing prices are base
less. the United States Grain Corpor-
ation has announced that it would en-
able consumers to buy the best flour
at lower prices.
Pure, straight -four, made of the
finest wheat, will be sold by the cor
poration to the retail trade in II IL
and "a 1-2 pound packages. 1t will
be available in about three weeks, and
the price to the consumers will be
about rs cents for the smaller pack
age.
Mr.. Barnes said that the grain cor
poration's action "puts the solution
Of one phase of the cost of living
problem up to the consumer by max
ing it possible for the purchaser of
flour to decide for himself whether he
will continue to pay fancy prices for
special brands or buy at lower price
pure straight flour made from the
finest wheat"
Rumors, possibly inspired by over
Jealous flour statesmen, he said, had
been current in the market from time
to time of an impending -four short
age.
"The facts are" he said, 1.-The stock
Of -four is very large and production
very large Therefore, the wheat di-
recor has determined to place in the
hands of the retail trade, in the large
cities particularly, supply of flour
from the immense stocks of the grain

2.75 Percent Beer
Notwithstanding
Is Held by Court

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 22.-On the
ground that beer of 2.75 per cent
alcoholic content is not Intoxicating,
Judge John C. Pollay6 or the United
States district court yesterday hand
ed down a decision grating tenn
porary injunction to restrain the U.
is. district attorney and the collector
of internal revenue from interfering
with the manufacture and sale of such
beer by st. Louis brewers.
Judge Pollack's decision, while con-
fning itself to a ruling of 2.75 per
cent beer, calls attention to the fact
that war was being waged at the time
the constitutional prohibition amend
ment was submitted by congress to
the state legislatures and that con-
gress at that time did not attmept to
arrogate to itself the passage of a
prohibition act as war measure. The
state legislatures voted on ratifca-
ton, the decision said, on the promise
of congress that after ratified the
amendment year would be per-
mitted to lapse before it should be
enforced by the government. Con-
gress therein recognized the rights of
the states, even IN war times, the de-
cision said, and it had not now the
right to infringe on state powers with
reference to prohibition enforcement.
In passing the enforcement act, the
decision said, congress attempted to
re-exercise war powers when the war
emergency no longer existed and tried
to justify by one section of the Con-
stitution an act which was forbidden
by another section.
The decision further points out that
congress, in this instance, has passed
law which "does no, pretend to con-
cur with the state laws of Missouri,
but is in direct conflict with it,"
The judge cited the words of Pres.
ident Wilson in his veyo message on
the prohibition enforcement act a;
proof that to all practical intent the
war is over. He asserted that this
act took away the police powers OF
the states and violated the eighteenth
amendment to the Constitution.
