 And meanwhile the National has re- formed. Once it was an organization that featured it's meeting with sordid pickering and quarreling; once it accort- pllshed but little at it's conclaves other but, to bring ridicue upon itself One group of magnates heartily disliked the other, and each side frequently aired it's views. The rows reached a point at times when 1t seemed that a riot call of police was needed to restore order.
 But all has changed since John Heyd- Ter became president The moguls have done but few foolish things Harmony has come about. Differences have been adjusted in secret conferences not nj public barrooms or hotel lobbies
 And when harmony begins then prog ress begins.
 For more than a year the National has been moving forward in public esteem both as regards the calibre of baseball it plays and executive discipline. And mean while the American has been sliding in horrible fashion from the lofty heights it held for so long
 All of which shows the way to the National; opens the gateway that leads back to the fame and the greatness that, l1tnn ]. .Lar 4a.-

CHEAP FOOD NEAR,
SAYS TRADE CHIEF
Chairman Peek of Commerce
Board Predicts Early Drop
in Prices. =
WHEAT AT FAIR COST
Conference With Food Admin
istration in New York Re-
suits in Announcement.

WASHINGTON, March st-Chsaper
food In the near fsturs was predicted
to-day by Chairman Peek OF the De-
partment Of Commerce Industrial Board.
as result OF . conference with Food
Administration officials in New York.
Mr. Peek and william N. Ritter, .
member Of the board, returned from New
York this morning where they went to
secure from officials Of the Food Ad-
mlnistration and its grain corporation .
statement Of their policy on food prices.
Mr.. Peek made this statement:
Food Administration officials felt
that II was unfortunate that there had
been such general Misunderstanding Of
Mr.. Hoovers statement that we might
see wheat At $3.50 Q bushsl.'
what Mr.. Hoover said was We
might see wheat at ss.bo = bushsl. as Il
was in the spring Of 1917. II there Is
a free market in wheat and uncontrolled
prices. So much for the 1918 crop.
There can be no free market OF 90 per
cent. of the worlds exports AZ to the
1919 crop, II In OF course too early to
come to any precise eonolusion-'
''It 10 clear that, ~ Mr.. Hoover says,
there can be no free market At pres
ent', in the nrst place, because Of the
unsettled conditions In business-eape-
cially In shipping and finance.
Further. the phrasing of the grain
appropriation bill clearly indicates that
the $1,000. 100000 appropriation was
made by Congress-. not only to make
good the s2.26 guarantee to the farmers.
but to enable the Government to sell
what wheat and -four Mt the guaran-
teed prices, or at such prices and on
such terms or conditions as may be
necessary to carry out the purposes Of
the act. and to enable the people OF the
United States to purchase wheat prod
ucts at reasonable cost. Wheat IL the
basic food commodity. What u a rea-
sonabls cost must be determined by the
conditions. In July the new wheat crop,
estimated at more than 4 billion and 4
quarter bushels. will begin TO come 10
market.
1T believe. therefore. that there II
every reason to expect lower food
prices in tho relatively near future.
This view, I believe. the men In charge
Of the affairs Of the Food Administration
will share"
