YOUR LOAF MAY
BE SMALLER
Flour Scarce and Wholesale
Price is Now
Soaring

Householders may either have to
pay more for bread or take a smaller
loaf in the near future if the price Of
flour continues to increase. Already.

a barrel for their -four than they did
two weeks ago. and while the retail
price Of from $3.50 to S625 has not yet
been raised, dealers feel that it win be
in a short time.
According to the flour merchants the
increased wholesale price Of -four is
caused by reports from the West that
the winter wheat crop. which should
be harvested by June is in exceedingly
poor condition. During April the
wheat was attacked and injured by
an insect known as the green bug"
From all sections of the -wheat-grow-
