FOOD EXPORT EMBARGO
URGED AS SOLUTION OF
HIGH COST PROBLEMS
Federal Bureaus Will Co-operato
to Learn Remedy After
Election May Enact
Legislation
COULD KEEP WHEAT HE R E
By JOHN EDWIN NEV1N
WASHINGTON. Oct. 20 A serious ef-
fort to reduca the high cosi of living will
be made after election. It wilt Invehv. It
was learned tonay. th Pepartmenta bf Jus
tice, Utbor. Commerce- and the Federal
Trade Commission.
All of the fncts dealing with the alleged
manipulation tf prices by speculators will
le prepared for congressional nctlon. Should
this prove necessary. The big question of
an embargo m the export ot foodstuff will
for the drat time come In for serious con
sideration. Some leaders of the master bakers' or
ganisation of the country nnd wholesale
grocers have argued for months that Presi
dent Wilson hail the power to prohibit ship
ments of wheat. Sources cIo to tho Ad
ministration strenuously drr.led this. But,
with election out of the way, the question
will be seriously considered anil If It Is
determlnedVthet some such plan Hs neces
sary to prevent flour and other necessaries
or life going to panic prices It Is likely that
Congress. (Is rcsponslvo to the will of the
people, will t urged to take action when It
meets In December.
omctals for the first time now ndmlt that
the European war will last all through next
yeir at least. With reports that crop dam
ygti are Increasing. It Is certain that the
I nlted States will he denuded of nil Its food,
ftuffi unless something Is dono to prevent It.
The frank statement by Chancellor of tha
Kxchequer lleglnald McKenna tn the llrlt
ith Parliament that ,hl Government Is
rpending on every working day 110,000.000
In thi I'nlted States simply cmphaslxrs what
alrtaoy has been ascertained by the De
partment of Commerce, the enormous ex
tent tf this export trnde.
Hut the fnct that more than one million
dollars a day of this amount goes for food
and clothing and other articles badly need
ed by tho people as a whole, whose price
already Is nearly prohibitive. Is Just being
realixed In official quarters.
While It Is true that the coming session
ot Congress will be short nnd must be de
voted to appropriate legislation, officials
here believe that It will be possible to get
any needed legislation affecting the cost of
living through, providing the Government
departments can agree on tho scope ot such
laws.

lMl'ORTING CANADA "WHEAT
Farmers Concerned Over Large Ship
ments From Southern Alberta
MONTRKAU Oct. 20.--The wheat crop
of Southern Alberta, which thla year con
sisted largely of number one. Is being drawn
on for seed purosrs so extensively by
farmers of the United States that there Is
some alarm among Canadian agriculturists
who fear depletion of the quantity avail
able for use In Canada.
Considerable quantities of last year's
Canadian crop were Imported Into the
United States for seed purposes, the more
northern climate having a particularly In
vlgoratlng effect on all varletlet ot grain.

worth $25, $22.50 and $2,0, and
difficult to duplicate at even
those prices in most stores!
1 That's the whole story, so far as you are
concerned, and all the strength of the Perry
name stands back of it! It meant foresight
and courage back of a desire to give a big
treat in Intensified Suit Values to thousands
of our friends who had a taste of our quality
on similar lines last year!
I And it was last year we began our prepara
tions to put this October week across this
year!' You know how things have gone up.
Well, we got the woolens and worsteds for
these Suits at big concessions on the Prices of
One Year Ago because of the offers we made
the makers of them! Then we tailored them,
ourselves in our quiet spells another saving;
so that today their likes at $25, $22.50 and $20
are about as plentiful as white blackbirds!
S Fine plain and mixed worsteds, fine cassi
