Bremer, potentate of Salaam temple. Kewark, X. J. The first portrait of W. Freeland Kendrick, the dynamic imperial po tentate of the Shrine and the most conspicuous figure in Shrinedom, show ing him wearing a fez, reached Portland yesterday. There have been any number of official pictures of Mr. Kendrick, but they pictured him in formal evening dress, in morning costume, in business suit or what not, but the mystic fez was missing. Apparently he has borrowed the fez this time, however, for he is wear ing a Salaam temple fez. Ten thousand Shriners gathered at Newark, N. J., to bid Mr. Kendrick farewell on a great trip across the United Suites and Canada on his way to the Portland convention. Elephants, camels and every imaginary desert animal were pressed Into service. It was just a foretaste for the amazingly wonderful parades the Shriners have prepared for the Portland session of the imperial council. m ithuk answers DRIVE AT CONGRESS Wilson's Parting Shot Held Wholly Unwarranted. iJlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIililllllliiiiiliiic iiiiiiMiiiuiiiuuiiiiiumuniiiHiinHiuHuiiitiHiiiiNtHiiin i CLOSED HIGH PRICES INEVITABLE!!

Adv. . v r- ! g 1- , I i ft ' . &v National Shortage of Foodstuffs, 'Sot Lawmakers, Responsible fop ill vinir Costs. Representative C. N. McArthur. who arrived home from Washington. D. C, yesterday morning, challenges Presi dent's Wilson's statement that con gress has failed to enact anti-profiteering legislation, and declares that the present high cost of living is largely due to the prevailing scarcity of farm labor and the consequent shortage of foodstuffs. He says this shortage is becoming more acute and that the coming harvest will not ma terially relieve the situation. "President Wilson's parting shot at congress was entirely out of place," saidi Mr. McArthur last night- "The president, in his letter to the railroad brotherhood chiefs, said that congress had failed to deal directly with the cost of living, but he entirely over looked the Lever food control act and the acts amendatory thereto, which prohibit and punish profiteering in food, fuel and clothing. The depart ment of justice has instituted numer ous proceedings under the authority of. these acts and will undoubtedly continue its activity, but even if our jails were filled with convicted prof iteers the cost of living would not be materially reduced. Country Industry-Mad. "The root of the matter is the na tional shortage of foodstuffs, leather and other products of our fields and stock ranges. Our production of these necessities is not keeping up with our demand, and the shortage was inevitable. The country has gone industry-mad. owing to the world-wide demand for manufactured products, and farm laborers have flocked to the cities to work in shops and factories at high wages and under conditions more attractive to them than life on the farm. The result of all this is a tremendous shortage of farm labor. This means idle fields, depleted ranges and reduced herds. 'The department of agriculture es timates that our 1920 wheat crop will not exceed 700.000,000 bushels hardly enough to feed our own people, let alone those to whom we are in the habit of exporting. The same condition prevails on the beef ranges and in the dairies of the country. The latter are harder hit than any other branch of agriculture by reason of the farm abor shortage. Farmers were able to naintain a fair average of produc tion during the war because of their almost superhuman efforts and be cause many non-essential industries were shut down, but with manufac turing re-established on a larger scale than ever before and paying wages which the farmer cannot offer, the crop acreage of the country has been materially reduced, as have other ac tivities coming under the general head of agriculture. Early Relief JVot Likely. "I am not finding fault with the farm laborers who have left the plow for the factory, for they are enjoying easier work and higher wages and, in many instances, are living in greater comfort than ever before. The con stantly increasing cost of living in cities will, in the long run, cause many of these men to return to the farms, but not until this movement becomes general can the people expect any material reduction in the cost of living. Our food reserves were badly depleted by the war and they are not being re-established now. The only remedy is increased production and a termination of the present riot of reckless spending. "The desired readjustment must and will come, and living conditions must be made more attractive for American farm hands and herdsmen, for after all is said and done, they are the ones upon whom the country must depend for its food supply. In holding con gress responsible for the high cost of living the president is overlooking fundamental economic truths that are quite apparent to even a superficial observer. Congress has many things to answer for, but it is not responsi ble for the food shortage." Mr. McArthur was busy at his of. fices in the Yeon building yesterday, In addition to maintaining these of fices during the congressional ad journment, he will keep his Wash For Jolly Shriner Affairs We Have Just Received an i Express Shipment of Dress Suits and Tuxedos From the House of Kuppenheimer For Men and Young Men We Are Including Them in Our Great Reduction Sale SUPERIOR tailoring, fine fabrics, and faultless lines distinguish Kuppenheimer Drss Suits and Tuxedoes from ordinary full dress wiir.
