 '3s WHO'S WHO'
Cincinnati Exponent of City Manager Plan Is
 Coming Here

Murray Seasongood, first Mayor of Cincinnati under it's city man. ager - proportional representation city charter, who will address 8 mass meeting at Temple Hall next Tues day night at 8 o'clock, is given con- siderable space in the 1899 edition of Who's Who in America"
 One of the original advocates of the same form of government as is now proposed for Waterbury, MT. Seasongood was the leader of the citizens drive in Cincinnati which brought about the charter reform. Thereafter, he was elected to the city council, and became Mayor. His record was outstanding as such, and Mr. Seasongoods name was added to the list of distinguished Amer jeans contained in Who's Who in America"
 High spots of the biography of Mir. Seasongood include the follow ing: Native of Cincinnati; Educated In public schools, and at Harvard Law School; practicing attorney, and lecturer at Cincinnati univer- sity law school; author of Local Government in the United States a Challenge and an Opportunity" and Cases on the Law of Municipal Corporations; Member Ohio com- mittee for the blind; President Hamilton County Good Government League; contributor to several na- tional magazines; Chairman Cin- cinnati City Planning Commission; National Municipal League; Trustee Cincinnati Art Museum Association; {; and former President Cincinnati Legal Aid Society.
 The Citizens Good Government Association, sponsors of next Tues days mass meeting, announced to- day that MT. Seasongood would an- swer questions from the floor. Be- cause of his experience as a coun- and his observations concerning this form of govern ment during the last thirteen years in Americas best governed city," he is probably better qualified to answer questions than any speaker who could have been procured. Waterbury's proposed city manager charter is closely patterned after that of Cincinnati.

Chairman
Food Profiteers Are
 Warned By Uncle Sam
No Excuse for Rise in Prices-Vigorous Action to Be Taken-ln Conn. Some Foods Go Up 100 Per Cent

supplies of almost all oods and fibers are record or near record levels, Farmers are harvesting a better than average crop.
 Farm exports, at least for year or more, are not likely to show any considerable Increase because of the war, agriculture department econo- mists said. They said European na- tions which would be able to obtain supplies from this country already had built up large reserves of food,
 Plenty Of Sugar
 Sugar stocks in the United States total i,760,000 tons, compared with l,409, 900 tons a year ago, the agri- culture department said, This years crop likely will be more than ample to meet domestic needs 1t was said, There is virtually no export demand for American sugar.
 Agriculture department econom- ists said that the rise in meat prices also appears unjustified in view of the large supplies of pork and near record crop of hogs to be mar keted this fall and winter. Lard supplies, for example, are at an all- time record, they said.
 Beef slaughter this fall Is eXpect- ed to be normal after several years of small production resulting from the 1884 and 1886 droughtS, The supply of hogs this year will be l8 to 20 per cent larger than year ago, the department predicted.
 The United States this year pro- duced a wheat crop of 73l,4S2,000 bushels. The carry-over from pre- vious years will bring the total sup- ply to approximately 100000 bush- els. America normally consumes about 650.000000 bushels of wheat and exports about 100000, 900 bush- els a year.
 Record Cotton Supply
 Of cotton there is a record surplus Of approximately l4,000,000 bales, This years crop, which will be fore- cast by the crop reporting board to- day is expected to approximately 100000 bales. The supply will be larger than two years of normal domestic consumption and exports.
 Prices In Conn.
 Hartford, Conn, Sept. s-(UP)- The war today socked the food budgets of Connecticut housewives. Widespread price increases, in some cases 100 per cent, were reported throughout the state.
 Grocery store and meat market operators were at loss to explain the skyrocketing of prices. They hinted tho producers and wholesal- CTS were charging the retailers more, despite plentiful supplies. Here are few samples of what is happening on the Connecticut food markets
 Various meats: up s4 to $s per 100 pounds dressed. Flour: $4.50 to $6 barrel. Sugar: S4.85 to SC a barrel.
 Italian cheese: up 10 to Is cents a pound.
 Olive oil: $2.25 to $2.6o a gallon.
 Pork chops: up 10 cents a pound. Eggs: up 5 cents dozen.
 Butter: 1 to 5 cents a pound in- crease.
 Lard: up cents a pound. U. S. Attorney Robert P. Butler said he would notify the U. s. De- partment of Justice of any war ranted complaints against alleged food profiteers. Many complaints were heard in the New Haven, Bridgeport and Hartford areas.
 At New Haven. sealer of weights and measures Edward J. Moraney said he would notify the govern ment of any profiteering.

BY FRED BAILEY United Press Stan Correspondent

'
 Washington, Sept. S-(UP)-The government assured housewives to- day that reserve supplies of food- stuffs are ample and said there is no excuse for any sharp increase in prices. It warned that vigorous ac- tion would be taken to prevent pro- fiteering.
 The price of sugar, meats, canned fruits and other commodities has risen markedly since the outbreak of war in Europe.
 Officials said that some increase in living costs might be expected as a result of the war, but that the sud- den upsurge in prices is unjustified,
 Especially in the sugar market, where retail prices have risen more than cent per pound, is the in- crease without reason, experts said, They added that there was no dan- ger that either war hysteria or mon- opolistic control would send the price of sugar to the heights of i9l8-l9, when 1t was rationed out to the pulp lie at 30 cents a pound. Before this would be permitted they said, the market would be regulated by the lifting of import restrictions.
 Wallace Places Blame
 Secretary of Agriculture Henry A., Wallace blamed the general increases of "middlemen" and asked the jus tice department to study methods of preventing profiteering. Farmers, he said, have not benefited by the in creased cost to consumers.
 Wallace conferred with President Roosevelt yesterday on the price and profiteering poblem. He indicated that the pesident had taken a direct interest.
 Wallace said the price increases may be largely due to the action of consumers themseles who are creat- ing an abnormal demand.
 He said he believed the majority of were as much concerned with the price increases as the gov- ernment is, realizing the implica- tions of charges of profiteering.
 No Real Evidence
 Officials said that TO evidence of fragrant profiteering has been found, but that an unwarranted scarcity psychology" is being built up by price increases. Tn some instances, 1t was said, this has been done by middle men in anticipation of large profits.
 Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes said he saw mo justification for increasing commodity prices" and warned that vigorous action" would be taken to prevent the rape of the nations natural resources" by pro- fiteers.
 Officials pointed out that reserve

RED CROSS TO
 AID IN CRISIS
Local Branch Prepared to Cooperate With Ma.
 tiOnal Organization

The local branch of the American Red Cross is prepared to cooperate to the full with the national or- ganiaation, according to Mrs, Edith Ladd, executive secretary of the Wa terbury unit, The Red Cross has agreed to work with the pepart- ment of State in aiding American citizens arriving from Europe in any way they can, They ares arriving from Europe almost every day aboard freighters, and aboard reg ular liners, and although some of them are quite able to take care of themselves, others are handicapped by illness or by black of funds, In such cases the Red Cross Is pre- pared to offer information, trans portation, and In extreme cases, food, shelter, and medical atten- ton.
 According to q letter to Mrs, Ladd from Richard Allen, manager of the Eastern area of the country for the Red Cross, many of the Americans hurrying home from Europe have been over there for many years, and may have no established residence here, or any relatives to whom they can go, He points out the necessity for the organization to do all 1t can to help such people orient them selves. Each unit Of the Red Cross, he says, must be prepared to receive and care for such persons, who are residents or former residents of its community.
 For the present, as long as this country Is neutral in the conflict, the efforts of the Red Cross will be confined to aiding civilians in every way possible, The national organiza- ton has no plans as yet for aiding those involved in the actual struggle abroad.
