MILLS & CO. 80 WEST MAIN STREET FOOD PRICES DROP | AS 1AW STEPS IN Distributors Throughout Gountry Are Licensed and Effects Shown New York, Oct. 31.—Prices in sev- eral foodstuffs dropped yesterday, and it is predicted by men in the trade that there will be further decrease within the next few days. This down- ward price tendency is a reflection of the National Food Administration, which will on Thursday require that every firm in the country engaged in handling foodstuffs and doing a busi- ness of over $100,000 a year be li- censed. One object of this govern- ment supervision is to see that the supplies of the country maintain a normal flow from producers to con- sumers. Indications were yesterday that not a single firm in this city will have received the government license, al- though some of them made applica- tion weeks ago. These applications have been coming into Washington at the rate of 6,000 a day., and the blanks have been filled out as fast as M Hoover's force, working over- time, could do the work. The Food Administration is sending out a no- tice of instructions to accompany the licenses and the printing of these has overtaxed the government's printing facilities. It will be perhaps more than a week before these instructions are printed. They will be sent out ac- companying the license cards. Until they arrive every firm will be to all intents and purposes under gavern- ment supervision and subject to all the regulations of the Iood Adminis- fration that become effective on Thursday To make more effective the gov- ernment regulation of foods, the milling division of the Food Admin- istration, of which James N. Bell is the head, announced that it had taken over the supervision of every flour mill in the country. Since September 8, when the flour milling supervision was created, the milling division, through the voluntary agreement of the operators of all the large mills, has exercised control over their wheat supplies, operation and rate of profit. This control was extended to all mills with a daily capacity of 100 or more barrels of flour. Under the new order this control is extended and even the very small mills must now give an account to the gavernment of thelr operations and profits. Under the licensing system, the gov- ernment will have knowledge of the food business, for its supervision will not only extend to the supplies re- celved and sold, but books will be open at the request of the govern- ment experts and the secrets of stor- eo warchouses no will have to < accordingly and these prices will he reflected in the small, stores outside of the administration ! control. . Stores that attempt to sell for high prices will have their sup- plies cut off. Carl W. Kimball, chai man of the New York Food Distr buters’ Association, said sterday that the members of the association representing 50,000 handlers of food- stuffs were in entire accord with the government and they were pledged to only pra-war price; Arthur William longer. Lavi their pric New York City food administrator, said that word had reached him that;some of the fi and poultry men are not playing f: and that there was a plan on foot to raise prices. Mr. Williams says he is| 'STATE GIVEN CREDIT | going to halt any such attempt. “The poultry men who are hoarding in cold storage had better unload. If they do mot,” he said, “they will not get as much when they do as they could get now." The food administrator will en- deavor to have the poultry men give a pledge that they will not extract any greater profits t - did be- fore the war. He he in-! tended to have a survey made of the places where, he had been informed, price increases are contemplated. Another task to which Mr. Wil- liams is- to give his attention is that| of preventing the raising of food| prices during the holidays. The goug- ing of the public at holiday time for turkeys has been guided more by what the public would stand rather than by the law of supply and de- mand. “MUSEUM WEEK” BOOMS, Crowds Pres n Spitc of Heavy Rainstorm.

The president seemed some- what familiar with the situation in thisz state as a result of the protests which had already been forwarded hy both the governor and the state coun- cil of defense, Governor Holcomb said. | President Wilson told Governor Holcomb and Mr. Cummings that it in evident that the method of fixing population on the hasis of the regis- tration figures resulted in estimates that are not tenable, and sald that Clonnecticut evidently had a population | assigned to it In excess of what the | figures <hould have been. He sald‘ a conference that it was difficult to tell how to remedy the mistake and declared that similar situations existed elsewhere. Tle spoke of Akron, Ohio, where the first estimate of population of the federal government was made 94,604 and the second estimate based on registration was 338,348, and also of Detroit, Michigan, where the first esti- mate was 850,000 and the second was 1,621,942, President Wilson suggested that Governor Holcomb and Mr. Cummings see Provest Marshal Gemeral Crow- der in the matter.

In every wi he conceded the justice of our claim. While he was in Washington, Gov- ernor Holcomb also saw Secretary of Baker and General Tasker H. Bliss.
