New York. Jan. Is. - Efforts of
Julius II. Barnes. United states
wheat director. to reduce the high
cost of living by providing house,
keepers with wholesome four at
reasonable price Is meeting an en-
|thusiastic response. according TO re-
ports on the United States Grain
Corporations resale of -four. which
has now been in progress for nearly
two weeks.
Approximately 25o.eoo barrels OF
the governments stock. which Is
being offered to the consumer In

half pound sacks. at prices approx
mating seventy-five cents for the
smaller size have been disposed OF
since the resale was opened during
the last week in December.
Practically every wholesaler In
all cities and towns Of Importance
in New England and the State OF
New York now have a supply oi
this -four On hand and are in q
position to furnish retailers.
Mr.. Barnes. In discussing the prog
ress of the flour sale. said yesterday:
1T has been my idea in putting
this -four on the market that the
consumer who wishes TO practice a
measure Of economy should have a
chance to buy these lower-priceC
fiours at his retail store. Peculiar
crop developments and the extra
ordinary willingness of a section OF
our people to disregard prices in thea
purchases have forced n premium on
certain qualities entirely out of line
with the ordinary relation.
distribution of the government
flour is not yet as widespread in
other parts OF the country as 1t is
in New England and the State OF
New York, owing to the fact that
the Christmas market-and difficulties
In transportation have somewhat
hampered activities
Letters from club women. house
wives. and others interested in re-
ducing the high cost of living In
many parts of the United States are
being received daily at the offices
Of the Wheat Director in New York
They are being urged to take the
matter up directly with grocers In
their neishborhoods. or to refer re.
quests to the zone agents OF the
United States Grain Corporation ir
their territory. who will tell then
whore the -four may be secured. Ir
this manner they will create 4 de.
mand for the flour which will make
it necessary for dealers to have G
supply on hand to meet the requires
ments of their customers.

.CENSUSTAKING
WORK'BLOCKED
Supervisor Charges Govern.
ment Workers Wilfully
Delay District Returns. ,

Charges that government employees
in Washington are wilfully hinder
ing the work Of the census, were
made last night by Robert e. Mat
tingiy. supervisor for the District Of
Columbia.
According to schedule the work Of
enumerating the census for the Ma.
tional Capital should have been prac-
tically completed last night. Super
visor Mattingly claims his work has
been so delayed and SO hindered.
chiefly by employees Of the govern
ment, that It may be some time be-
fore the local returns can be filed.
There are 367 districts In the city.
only eighty Of which have been re-
ported.
"It is extraordinary" Supervisor
Mattingly declares. that we are re-
ceiving the most trouble from the
very ones we relied upon to make our
work easy-fellow employees Of Uncle
Sam. 1t appears they are purposely
Withholding information"
Enumerators are working at top
notch speed to bring the work to
a close but despite their efforts the
work Is tagging to the extent that
the city will in all probability lose
its chance to be the first "over the
top" with the information desired.
Mr.. Mattingly today is sending a
special corps of inspectors into dis
tricts where trouble has been re-
ported to Investigate and bring the
offenders to terms.
In case Washington does make
its census return by next Monday
or Tuesday the census officials be-
lieve it may still be the first city
to be finally tabulated. Announce
ment of the population OF the city
in that case will be made about
February Is.

RAPS D. c. PROFITEERS

Creation of a government store.
with branches in various sections of
the city. 70 sell at cost groceries and
merchandise to government employees
in the District. is provided in a bill
introduced in the Senate yesterday
by Senator Sherman. of Illinois.
Senator Sherman announced this
was one of a series OF bills he had in
mind to protect "helpless government
employees" from merchants. middle
men and landlords who have congre-
gated In Washington with the ''pur-
pose of preying upon the residents"
Senator Sherman served notice upon
District landlords that if they fought
the Ball landlord and rent regulation
law. he would propose an occupa-
tional tax upon various occupations
IN the District. with n view to reach
ing rent profiteers.
MiddIeman Like Appendix.
The Sherman bill provides for the
creation of a joint District Commit
tee. composed of the Senate Commit
tee on the District and >the like COM
general store to buy merchandise for
resale to government employees at
cost.
The middleman is a useless ap-
pendage wherever he can be elimi-
mated" said Senator Sherman. There
is no reason why packers should sell
to meat marketmen and grocers In
the District of Columbia, and es-
pecially to meat marketmen who have
practically no capital at stake in the
business. and who net as high as
5000 and $4,000 a year with $1,000 in
vested in a cold storage box, a chop
ping block and a place to do bnsi-
ness.
Makes More Pay Necessary.
"ASIarge part of that money is
expended by employees of the govern
ment who pay all the way from 80 1-3
per cent to 800 per cent profit to these
unnecessary middlemen. That, in
turn. renders necessary. and it will
be urged here. no doubt. when the
Reclassifications Commission makes
it's report, an increase in compensa-
ton that will run literally into the
hundreds of millions of dollars for
the 10000 government employees in
the District"
Senator Sherman said he proposed
to devise. through the bill and kindred
measures. some method by which a
person can live and serve the gov
ernment IN the District without hav-
ing his salary doubled in order that
it may be a fund for the predatory
cormorants who are hanging about the
Capital"
