RETAIL BAKERS SUFFERING
ON ACCOUNT OF WHEAT RISE.
Inability of Jobbers to Resist Tsmpta
ton to Make Money Shows Bad
Results.

NEW YORK, April 20.-The inabil-
ity of certain of the jobbers to resist
the temptation to take profits on sup
plies purchased months ago is con-
demned by the mill agents as poor
business policy under existing circum-
stances. When the flour was held for
merely speculative purposes their crit
icism does not hold, but when it was
intended for active consuming require
ments it is a better proposition, they
say, to hold on to it, as it cannot be
replaced at the prices they are accept
ing. These jobers, however, say they
are entitled to their own opinions as
to the future course of the market
and are firm in the belief that they
had better take their profits while they
can, as they profess to forsee disaster
for the Patten deal and a consequent
tumbling of values. So far, however
their arguments are supported only by
theories while sellers are backed by an
actual condition, namely. steadily
advancing market for flour, with no
one to say that the crest of the wave
has arrived.
The actual sufferer up to the pres
ent is the retail baker For weeks the
cost of his material has been growing
dearer, but he has not been able to adj
vance the price of bread, chiefly be-
cause of public sentiment but it is ap-
parent that he has now reached the
point where he must be brave enough
to advance his price or go out of bust
ness, as his profits have been cut alb
most to the vanishing point.

ter leading rather dissolute life In |
his youth, and having wasted the for
tune he inherited, he took part in the
great mercantile expedition of Rodrigo
de Bastidas to the New World, and set
tied in Haiti or as it was then termed,
Hispaniola. Though an adventurer in
search of fortune his great ambition
seems to have been to extend the boun-
daries of geographical knowledge and
especially to be able to announce to
Europe the existence of another great
ocean and soon struggled himself
aboard ship that was to establish a
new colony. An insurrectiOn took place
which obtained for Balboa the SUI
preme command Of the colony. The
Spanish government forced him to re-
| linuuish this command and he Joined
another exploring expedition in a sub
/ ordinate position. Subsequently he
| Joined several successful small expedi-
| tions. Accounts reached him in 1913
, of a great western ocean Acconpan-
led by a small band of resolute follow
ers he began to tread the almost i'm
| penetrable forests of the IsthmuS of
Darien, and guided by an Indian chief
| named NonOd, CIdiHDeIIIS up Tic iuS
| ged gOrges of the mountains. At
| length after a toilsome and dangerous
journey, having to contend with hos
tile savage tribes, Balboa and his COM
panions approached, on September %,
the summit of the mountain range.
Balboa, leaving his followers at a lit
tie distance behind and advancing
alone to the western declivity, was the
first to behold the vast unknown ocean
which he afterwards took possession
! of in the name of his sovereign, and
| named it the Pacific ocean, from the
| apparent quietued of it's waters. Sur
| rounded by his followers, he walked
| into it, carrying in his right hand a
naked sword, and in his left the BAN
| ner of CASTLE and declared the sea
| of the south, and all the regions whose
| shores it bathed, to belong to the crown
| Of CASTLE and Leon. On his return,
however, the governors of the colonies
| We're so jealous Of his glory, and feared
| so much that his favor with the peo-
| pie might throw the reins of govern
ment into his hands, that dissentiOns
| sprang UP between them, Balboa was
| accused of instigating rebellion and
! was beheaded in 1917, in violation of
| all forms Of justice.

While the live stock show will not
open until September 27tn, the build

months in advance in keeping with the
plan of the exposition management to
have the fair ready before the OPEN

Seattle is now inspecting COM

that remains to be done is to arrange

low, simply Master John. If over Fl
a bachelor may be called Master Smith,
Mr.. Bash Smith. This will enable an
unmarried woman to learn at first
meeting whether the new man is fair
subject for her Wiles, so that she may
not waste any time on married f1irtS
The law is intended to cast an odium
on bachelors and make all self-respect-
ing men hurry up and get married as
soon as possible, SO as to acquire an
honorable title and earn the respect of
their fellow citizens.
Out in Iowa they have taken a leaf
from the example of Halifax up in
Nova Scotia, and an effort to boost the
census has been made in bill now
pending before the legislature there. 1t
if passes, the county treasurer will be
compelled by law to pay one dollar to
each happy father or mother who takes
out a birth certificate. There seems
to be little doubt that this measure will
go through. rance has tried it with
excellent results, and there have been
isolated communities throughout the
country where it has worked well.
Other states are said to be consid-
ering the same measure.
Beside bachelors and babies, an
other thing that stands out cOnspicu-
ously in the new legislation is the hat
pin. Illinois legislators propose to
limit the length of women's hatpins to
nine inches. The hat pin has become
not only a means of holding the tower
like hats in place, but has developed
into means of Offense and defense,
and as such is practically a concealed
weapon.
Judging from recent fashions, they
are apt soon to assume the size and
cutting quality of dirks and swords.
Some Chicago men have CALAMITY come
forward with an amendment that any
woman who has already purchased a
spring hat modelled after a roll-top
desk or a conservatory, which cannot
possibly be kept on her head in a Chi
cago zephyr without fifteen or eighteen
inch hatpins, may make application for
a special permit similar to that given
a reputable citizen to carry concealed
weapons, or for building bay windows
jutting out upon the street.
