Walla ,Walla, April 2S.-Save your
pennies for they will be in demand
commencing next Saturday when the
retail price of bread will be raised
one cent per loaf From that time on
bread will sell for cents per loaf.
Forced to take some action in their
own behalf on account of the recent
raise in the price OF flour, the bakers
of Walla Walla met last night and
decided to raise the price of bread to
consumers to 6 cents per loaf. With
flour soaring among the clouds at Sc
for barrel wholesale, the action of the
Walla Walla bakers is declared by
them to be absolutely necessary If
they would continue to stay in busi-
ness.
Along with the raise in bread prices
comes the announcement from the
bakers that all cookies, buns and rolls
will hereafter be sold at Is cents per
dozen, just cents higher than in the
past, or two dozen for 25 cents. And
the end is not yet, for lovers of the

hereafter, beginning May 1. is fixed at

This action on the, part of the ba-
kers of Walla Walla was foretold two
weeks ago. Delay in the decision to
make the raise was encountered at
first as some of the bakers were fear
full OF putting up the price, believing
that it might have a detrimental ef-
feet on their business, and that their
action might be misinterpreted by
as an attempt to arbitrar-
lily work a "hold-up."

nothing compared with the total. But
$4,000 remains to be collected and a
large part of this is half payments,

to pay half their taxes by the first
Monday in April and then have until
the first Monday in October to pay

Prof. A. Lawrence Lowelh of Boston,
newly elected president of Harvard
university, will succeed DR.. Charles w.
Eliot next May. The selection has met
with general approval, because of Prof.
Lowelrs qualifications. He has already
shown rare executive ability as admin
istrator of the Lowell estates, Jas di-
rector of the Lowell Institute, and as
a trustee of the Massachusetts Insti-
tute of Technology. In scholarship he
has also attained international ,atten-
ton because of his writings on political
science. His personal fortune is rated
at more than million, and his lineage
is the best in New England. All of
these attributes, with a good athletic
record as a student, made him the
most acceptable candidate. Approval
of the choice of the Harvard corpora
ton has been shown by the students in
demonstrations accorded the new pres
ident
