Grocers May Break with Bakers

Grocers May Break with Bakers
Moline grOcers may cease to handle
bread and other bakery stutfs as a re-
suit Of the recent decision reached by
the bakers to discontinue the practice
of exchanging fresh for stale lOaVcS
and cakes in the grocery store cases.
The grocers met Tuesday evening with
the bakers. and after thorough dis
CussiOn of the subject, told the bakers
that they must decide within two or
three days whether they would resume
the practice of eXchanging-if not, the
grOcers would cease handling their
products. The sore spot with the gro
GERS is that the bakers carry on both
a wholesale and retail business. The
grocers claim that as long as the bak
cry wagons are on the streets peddlin2
from house to house they cannot deter
mine with any degree of accuracy how
much bread and cake they can sell day
| by day.

MOLINE

Library Circulation is Less.-At-
tendance figures at the Moline public
library have shrunk in the aggregate
almost $4,000 in the last three years.
For the same period there has been a
falling off of $4,000 in the circulation
of books. These surprising figures are
emphasized in the annual report Of
the library board from June. 1906, to
June, 1907. y year ago the decline
was laid at the door of the vaudeville
theater. This year the decline in part
is owing to the closing of the library
during the scarlet fever epidemic. In
point of finances the report says: I'VE
are pleased to report that the finances
OF the Moline public library are better
now than at any time in its history
and are hopeful to be able TO clear il
of debt in the near future
