 CUTTING DOWN H, c. l.

The Connecticut war savings com- mittee on Thursday placed at the dis posa1 of Food Administrator Robert Scoville the use of its entire organ ization throughout the state to assist him in his efforts to reduce the high cost of living. MT. Scoville accepted the offer with thanks and promised to avail himself of the services of the or- ganization as soon as he completed his plans Among other things it was agreed that the field secretaries and local chairmen of the war savings committee, of whom there are about 165 in the state. would keep record of cases of profiteering or hoarding which might come to their attention and re- port them through the state office to Mir. Scoville.
 T am not in a position to predict" said Mir Scoville on his return from a conference with Attorney General Palmer that we shall accomplish any material reduction in the cost of .iv- ing. I notice that in some states there has been great blaring of trunpets over the revival of the food adninis- tration, and people have been led to believe that it's activities would result in reducing prices appreciably at once. The question is too complica ted to justify any possible misleading of the people. Personally I am prepared to do all in my power to bring piices back to normal level; nevertheless it is my conviction that our work will be particularly in the nature of po- lfcing, since we have no machinery for conservation and other necessary ac- tivities, and that we shall not. there fore, be able to cover the whole ground. Three things must be done before there will be any substantial reduction in the cost of living:
 Excess profits must be elin1ina ted.
 Production must be increased. with restricted costs.
 ''The demand for goods must be re- duced
 .The fret of tbese nropositiops the elimination of excess profits, has to do with profiteering. It is my impression that there is less profiteering in New England than people have been led to suppose. For one thing. there is too much competition in this section to admit of profiteering on a large scale. find that this is the unanimous opin- ion in New York al we1''

 The barn is a large building about 90x4G feet and contained besides the hay and livestock large number of farm implements and wagons, all of which were destroyed. What the loss would be MT. Pendleton was unable to state on Sunday evening but it will amount to several thousand dollars.
