HDRLS DOWN GAUNTLET

Hammond's Executive is Going to Do All He Can to Reduce the High Cost of Living, He Says. Mayor Brown in a statement yesterday threw down tha gauntlet to Hammond grocers. "Whenever I can pick up anything or do anything that will reduce the high coat of living, I most urely will give the people the benefit of it." said the Mayer today. At the last regular meeting of the council, resolutions were introduced in favor of the grocera repudiating the actions of the Mayor In using the fire stables for the sale of -government f(.-od stuffs at prices lower than the grocers alleged they could purchase It. The statement of one grocer who eaid that the proletariat should not waste their money t-n the luxury of canned fruit was condemned by the Mayor who sferted that every day he receives numerous phone calls urging him to reopen the food sale. The Women's Clu'bs of Hammond have taken action endorsing the Mayor's attempt to cut down the huge food 'budget's of large families through the sale, of government tanned goods, according to the Mayor. "If 100 grocers object tc my usins the Are barns and their objection is sustained to the detriment of the other 23.900 citizens of Hammond, who bae an equal voice in the question, then I shall -cor.durt my sales elsewhere. 1 have my ej e on several pcssible locations and It will bo only a matter of a week or ten das until the sales ai e as:ain resumed." The Mayor refused to divulge the location but acknowledged that a car of l!ii:t would arrive in Hammond sixm. 'Whatever benefits have accrued from these sales they tia-ve gore to the people. The hourewive and husbands wfcr took advantae4cf the eC'onorrrl es are tc be commended. The question now is one of thrift but the abil.ty to irake ends meet and live fairly well. When people will sacrifice a little time and energy to cart away the foodstuffs they have purchased they should foe sold at a decided reduction and I shall continue that policy." Efforts c-f local frrocers to thwart the mayor in what he considers his duty has forced him. he asseerts, to vindicate his position. "T took $10.o0 out of my own pocket with which totpurchase car-lc-ad after car-load of food stuffs. The city advanced not one cent. In the sale of flour, of which I purchased 70.000 pounds from the United Grain Corporation and fold the day after it arrived. I was given the authority to charge as murh as fifty cents a barrel more than I did. That extra went to the peTle in red-iced costs there was no rent to pay and They, not I. received the benefit." There has been no offlrinl announcement made by the Women' (Tubs as to their stand on the question of whether the mayor has the right to continue his sales. General opinion is about equally divided. The future is a matter of speculation. CROWN POINT LADY STRIKESJEW WELL Miss Belle Hedlund Successful With Her Properties In Oklahoma. SPECIAL TO THE TIMES!

BY GEORGK IU HOLMF.H (STAFF CORRtSPONDENT I. H. SERVICE! NEW YORK March 23 Close friends of Herbert Hoover here and In Washington would not be surprised if in the near future the former food administrator decides to make clear once and for all his position in national politics and the campaign of 1920. These friends believe that this position will be substantially as follows: "Herbert Hoover is a candidate fer the republican nomination for the presidency, but he emphatically is not a candidate to the extent of making a fight for the nomination and assimilating all the mud and rhetorical abuse which features a fight. He will not fight for It, but if it should be offered him he would accept it." Mr. Hoover himself will neither deny nor affirm his reported intentions. He won't discuss rolltics at least he won't discuss politics . where there is a chance of such a discussion becoming widely known. Visitors to his office In lower Broadway who seek to learn the former food administrator's political views and leanings are met w ith a circular letter which Mr. Hoover placed in the hands of his associates and aids in the American relief administration absolutely forbidding them to talk politics. Occasionally it wtorks. All doubt as to Mr. Hoover's choice In political parties however, lias been dispelled. He is a republican and always has been, though not a strict partisan. He is classed by some' as an "Independent republican," whatever that may be. The Latest News From Germany HtM.ETIV. 1 INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE IOM0.
