HIS HELPERS
Says Fore stalling
Practice Will Be
Investigated

Farmers who came to the
city markets to-day with their
produce admitted that the peo-
pie are embittered over the high
prices asked for vegetables and
fruits. They explained, however,
that they are at the mercy OF the
feed and grain dealers and are vic
tins, too, of the same conditions
that have caused city people to rise
up in arms. Until the price of feed
goes down, they said. the price of
the farmers product will stay up.
So there you are. Meanwhile, the
people continue to discuss the food
situation with varying degrees OF
heat. Some of them do not hesitate
to predict what will happen to the
poor if some measure of relief is
not given.
Prices May Not Justify
At the State Hospital for the In
sane it was announced to-day that
although they h"d been considering
the purchase oI some foodstuHs
which the government is putting on
sale, they feared that the price
which is placed on the food would
be prohibitive 1t was explained
that this price appeared to be little
lower than the regular market
price, and the board of the hospital
scarcely felt warranted in purchas-
ing such quantities.
Allentown Council Acts
At Allentown, Pa, the City Coun-
Gil has taken up the question OF
reducing the price of food and to
that end have decided to purchase
a great quantity of the government
supply and sell to the people of the
city through municipal markets.
They claim that this will undoubt-
