HARDING MAKES ATTACK ON ISSUES RAISED BY COX By Raymond dapper Marion, Ohio, Sept. 24. (U. P.) Issues of this campaign are too big to be obscured by any vaudeville performances. Warren O..

Leading Clothier Morrison at Fourth jl-,t--r-; w Sale 3 New: Directors For Public Welfare Bureau Are elected Three new directors of the public welfare bureau. Portland's association of -charitable Workers, were elected at a special meeting of directors Thursday afternoon. They will fill vacancies pending the annual meeting. of contribu tors in November. This action is part of the program for reorganisation under prospective plans for the coming year. The new directors are: J. N. Edlefaon, JfarshaU N. Dana and Mra George Guthrie. It was reported that even during the summer months the welfare bureau took care of asv many as 200 families a month, with the prospect that the num ber 1n winter would reach 500. The re lief work was not necessitated by un- employment. A. P. Oephart, manager of the bureau, announced, but by old age, desertion, non-support, illness and! other, like factors. Contiirad From Pis Ob) lunch buckets down off the pantry shelves, filling them with sandwiches, cake, pie, apples, etc.. direct from the family larder and carrying them to work as a part of a determined cam paign that has been launched in an effort to force restaurants to reduce their prices. Russell J. Poole, secretary of the high-cost committee of the city coun cil, predicts that the bring-your-lunch movement will force restaurants to tower their prices from S to 50 per cent. Meanwhile city officials are planning criminal prosecution of profiteering res- taurant keepers. Various restaurant and hotel proprietors have been quizzed closely as to the factors determining the alleged exorbitant prices charged. The fact that corn dropped below the $1 mark on the board of trade Thursday for the first time since 1917 and the general decline in grain and hog prices, which has been noticeable for several days is regarded by the authorities as an indication that continued high prices on foodtetuffs in restaurants and stores is not Justified. a ABUNDANT CROPS FACTOR IN DECLINE IN VEGETABLES St. Louis. Sept. 24. (I. N. S.) Spuds at any price the consumer feels like paying this winter, a big reduction in the cost of the Thanksgiving spread and most important of all a real and permanent cut In the price of foods, was predicted today by retailers, wholesalers and dealers along- commission row and In various city markets here. Bumper crops have at last, they joined in de claring, solved the apparently unsolv able problem of the high cost of eating. But for high freight rates and lack of railroad facilities, some dealers de clare, prices on foodstuffs would be back to the pre-war normal in a very short time. The abundant crops would cause a reaucuon in cannea goou!, as neu u fresh vegetables and fruits, they aver. COTTON GOODS REDUCTION BELATED OX PACIFIC COAST San Francisco, Sept. 24 U. P.) It may be a matter of weeks before the price ' reductions on cotton goods an nounced in the East reach the Pacific coast dealers believed today. They pointed out. however, that women's dresses, men's clothing, shoes and sim ilar articles of apparel have dropped an everage of from 15 to 20 per cent either on tae wholesale or retail prices In the West since last May. Some foodstuffs also have been de clining slightly. Meats now are selling on the coast at the same price asked in October, 1918. Oils and fata have dropped 16 per cent In the last five months. Flour, sugar and coffee have gone down slightly. Retailers today admitted they were "playing close to the board" In their purchases, and were not buying more than necessary because they looked for radical turns In the market One concern which handles large quan tities of popular brands of cigarettes has been out of one of the heaviest sell ing varieties for two weeks and refuses to buy more on account of an expected drop in prices.
