NEW YORK.-That the bread
trust is in strict alignment with 9TH
er combinations of capital seeking to
extract every penny that can be
Wrung from the consumer in pur-
chases of milk, meat and the other
necessities of life, was ascertained
When it became known that the big
meat packers of Kansas City. Oma-
ma and other western points have in
innate relations with the big mill
ing concerns at Minneapolis and St
Paul. From Chicago came the in
teresting information that while beef
IN New York is at an almost probi-
Dltlon price for the consumer of
small means in the city of New York
the profit of the Armours in the
successful operation of the beef trust
exceeds 80 per cent
Inc story as told today by one of
.. the best posted members of the Pro-
duce and Mercantile exchange is that
the big western millers, learning of
the great success of the Armour
combine, considered it to be a good
thlng II the great eastern bakeries"
as the great bread producing con-
Germs are known, could be brought
into combination which would shut
out the eastern wholesale dealers in
hour, and at the same time "snuff
out the small baker and yield much

tlatlons to this end have been in
progress for more than a year, and
were accentuated by the high price
OF Hour consequent to the concerning
OF the wheat market by Patten last
spring.
With the suggestion of a higher
price for flour and the fact that the
Patten corner had driven some 800
OF the smaller New York bakers to
the wall, the big milling interests in
the west decided that the time was
opportune to invade the greatest city
on the American continent, combine
the big bakeries and draw an addi-
tlonal penny per loaf from the pock-
| cts of the people. With the trust
in domination of bakeries of New
York Brooklyn, Jersey City and Ho-
boken it was estimated today that the
milling interest backing the combine
would increase their profits to the
extent of several million dollars per
year.

do not reach the Masses" they said.
The young women will never save
one billion if they must first get a
training in the colleges"
The "Short Course" Planned.
So the short course" was planned,
and these short courses, given in con-
nection with farmers Institutes and
school district meetings, are taking
the knowledge to thousands of girls
who will manage the homes on the
farms of the future.
Another plan has been inaugu-
rated. The American Beef Producers
Association has calmly given notice
that unless the people of the nation
learn to use the cheaper cuts of
meat the average family will not be
able to afford meat in the future!
The association offered an illustrated
lecture and demonstration.
A little party of college women
gathered around Miss Jessica Besack
and planned to open at the National
Corn Exposition, which is to be held
in Omaha December 9Th to 18th, a
great laboratory where a thousand
girls may take a short course in do
nestle science and art.
The Charge Is Only So.
The girls are to go to Omaha. The
plan has been widely advertised. The
girls schools and converts of Omaha
will be thrown open to the visitors
They may come and have these ac-
commodations free. The only charge
for the course is a laboratory fee
of 50.
Every day these girls will cook,
sew and shop. For the best dishes
the exposition management has Of
fered prizes. A girl may win 500

for mullins even when corn is so

the strain will result in such saw

teach the girls how to do such little
things. To square darn, to make
square-end buttonholes, to make
clothing for kitchen wear and many
other such things are counted as
those which, if generally known,
will help the young women save their
billion.

OMAHA, Neb.-One billion dollars
I is the amount which girls on Ameri-
can farms will be able to save the
nation every year when they are
trained in domestic science and art
as the young men of the farms are
being trained in scientific agricul-
ture, according to Jessica E. Besack,
Iof Columbia University, director of
the domestic science department of
the National Corn Exposition.
The United States produces yearly
practically $75OO,OOO,0O0 worth of
plant and animal products. One bill
lion of this is credited to agricul-
tural science. Such authorities as
Willett M. Hayes, assistant secretary
of agriculture, say that science will
make the new wealth produced on
the farm $10,000,000,00 annually
without increasing cultural acreage.
Now come the women of the agri-
cultural colleges, who have made the
departments of domestic science a
success, and say that another billion
can be made, because it can be saved
by the housekeepers of the farms
when they learn to eliminate waste,
prepare foods from cheaper mate
rails, substitute the inexpensive for
the high in price, and buy clothing
as the experts buy it.
Girls Reduce Cost of Living.
Thus while the young men learn
to quadruple the crops the girls are
learning to reduce the cost OF living
one-half. In the fields and orchards
the farmer creates new cereals and
trees; in the kitchen the women Will
create new and nutritious foods with
out the use of eggs, butter and high
priced meats.

planting the young women will cut
out waste by systematic buying to
