NEW YORK. May 1.-"Giye us
back our five cent loaf" is the plea
of Mrs. Julian Heath president of the
National Housewives league. Cabled
to President Wilson. The CabIegram
suggested that Wilson Immediately
authorize the importation of ArGeu-
tine and Canadian wheat to lower

not get much benefit out of winning
the war unless food costs are limited,
she told the United Press.

was 80 cents. 1t has now risen to 20;
prewar lard was 13 cents and now 40;
prewar pork. SIT is now $50; prewar
wheat 80 cents, is now S2.2O: prewar
corn 60. is now S1.60. Current sta
tlstics show we have the greatest
stocks OF wheat. meats. fats. hogs and
cattle ever known in the history of
the country yet they are withheld

tion to Wilson as to whether or not
he will take up food prices at the next
