AFTER REASON. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has announced that he will try to find out why the price of table provi sions is going up and will lay the in lormation before the American people. "I don't know why it is so, but think it is up to me to find out," said Mr. Wilson. In a few days Secretary Wilson will set in motion one of the most far reaching inquiries as to the cost of living ever instituted in the United States.

He will utilize the services of his army of agents in the field. and he says he will give them plenty of work to keep them busy. Meat inspectors, traveling He'd agents and others will be impressed into service. He intends to find out why. the common kinds of food stuffs, like meat, butter, eggs, apples, potatoes and various fruits and vegetables are going up.

The result of the in quiries will be of vital interest to about 19,000,000 families in the United States.
