Food Administrator Declares He
Sees 25 Per Cent Decrease
Before First of June
UPWARD TREND STOPPED
Government Is Receiving Hearty
Cooperation in Efforts to
Lower Costs.
BY cHAs. n. NEWELL.

A % per cent drop in the cost of
living is due before June 1. predicts
Food Administrator Figg.
That is his belief as he plunges
into a series of conferences with busi-
ness men for the purpose of bringing
relief to possessors of badly flattened
family pocket-books.
THE upward trend of prices has
stopped so far as a majority OF life's
, necessaries are concerned" said Mr..
Figg. And the government is receiv-
ing the heartiest sort of cooperation
from the business world in its attempt
TO work out a means of reducing the
cost of living fully % per cent. icon
, ton by June 1.
Herbert Hoover'S successor, who
functions as an assistant attorney gem
eral, outlined his reasons for believing
, the cost of living is due for well
come tumble
Significant factors are working to
the advantage of the public in the
governments drive to reduce the cost
OF living" said Figs
"Business-the manufacturer, job
scious of the fact that more is being
charged than the traffic (public) will
bear. So business is ready to cooper
ate with the government In reducing
prices.
English textile manufacturers are
sending large quantities of cloth to
this country and underselling Ameri-
can goods.

ready to quit over pitalizing wage
wild price raising.
What the government and business
wants is cooperation to reduce prices
before business goes to smash. That's
why conferences now being held be-
tween business and the government
promise real relief to the public.
Textile men have agreed to make
large quantities OF standardized cloth
for mems garments in 10 patterns if
iobbers. wholesalers, clothing manu-
facturers and retailers will devote 10
per cent of their business capacity TO
handling such material. This will bring
about a reduction Of from 25 to so
per cent in the price of mems clothing.
similar propositions in other lines
of necessaries have been proposed and
will. believe. materialize to the bene-
fit of the public.
Another prime factor in bringing
down prices is the realization on the
part of labor that the limit has been
| reached to which it can go. in de-
manding wage increases. When the
railway brotherhoods asked for an
other wage advance shortly before
Christmas I was called upon TO show
them that the advance In prices of
necessaries generally had been check
ed in two months and that plans al
ready under way would cause dis
tinct downward trend In, 90 days.
Because 1 was able to make such
showing, the brotherhoods recessed
their wage negotiations for so days.
IF labor and business cooperate
! for six months 1 am positive that
there Will be % per cent reduction
in the cost of necessaries to the public

government in southern Russia has
been chosen to replace Gen. Denilxine

Five hundred Mystic Shriners. with

from distant regions Of Iowa, Will
gather in this city Friday for rites
which will long be memorable in the
minds of some forty novitiates who
are to witness the drawing Of the
veil and to make their initial pilgrim
age out on the burning sands of the
desert.
The meeting will be one of the larg
est,,i not the greatest in size. ever
held in this city by the Mystic Shrine.
1t will bring to the city more than 5OJ
visiting members, who will come on
a special train from Des Moines. The
purpose of the meeting is to introduce
to large class of candidates the
mysteries of the shrine.
The ceremonials, incident to the
initiatory, will be in charge of Ia
Zig Temple, Des Moines, and the
novitiates will come largely from
Marshalltown and the immediate
vicinity, including few from Ames,
Boone, Carroll and Eagle Grove.
Parade to Be featured.
The faithful are coming from points
as far distant as Burlington, Daven-
port and Mason City. The special
train is scheduled to arrive before
noon ana on arrival the visitors will
be taken to Red Mems hall, where
buffet lunch will be served.
The public feature of the ceremon-
ials will be a parade at o'clock in
which members of the Shrine ana
novitiates will participate. The
Shrine band of Des Moines. the "a
Ga-Zig patrol, drum and bugle
corps and four Ships Of the desert"
will be leading attractions. The cam
ell contingent is said to be from
Yankee" Robinson's circus, which
has winter quarters in the neighpor-
hood of Des Moines.
Because Of the large number Of
visitors coming, the local Shrine
members ask the cooperation of the
city generally in making the recep-
ton a worthy one. Merchants are
| asked to hang out banners or at least
| to place a welcome card in the shop
window. 1t is probable the local
members will do some street decorat-
ing with the Shrine colors.

The business meeting will be hello

ner will be served to the visitors at
s o'clock at the Pilgrim hotel, the Y

Because Of the large number expected
it has been necessary to divide the
guests into three groups.
A brief evening concert by
Shrine' band and the drum and bugle
corps probably will be arranged for
the early evening.
The night session will find the forty
novitiates the central attraction and
those who survive will depart the city
with the desert broke pilgrims of the
