"Y DON'T see where that could
amount to a billion Of actual
CURRENCY" demonstrated Ralph

'NoY' replied Kelvin II will show
you. Twelve months ago Henry
Breed quietly issued from his central
organization. the United Food Compa-
ny Of New Jersey, a general order that
all bread and cereal foodstuffs must
be sold for spot cash only. The re-
ceipts from these sales were not to be
deposited in banks, but were to be
shipped in currency to the general Of
does of his company. Do you know
what this meant? Breed began as an
obscure miller. He formed combina-
ton after combination of Touring mills
until, twenty years after he started
that task. he practically owned every
gristmill and every grain elevator in
the United States accomplishing that
through an elaborate system Of rebat-
ing on wheat and -four shipments. Ev-
cry farmer who raised wheat raised 1t
to sell to Henry Breed at prices set
by Breed, for there was no other buy
er. His next step was to establish
the immense bakery system which
now bears his name. Flour was set
at such a price that families could not
afford to buy ii and that opposing
bakeries were forced out Of business.
Now in all the centers Of population
he has his immense mechanical bread
furnaces. from which his bread trains
rush before daylight to distributing
stations in all the small towns. while
his remarkable automobile service sup
plies the cities. BY concentration Of
manufacture he claims to have been Of
actual benefit to the country, furnish
ing a better grade Of bread at lower
price than was ever known before and
making more profit on it than individ-
ual bakeries ever did.
Breed pays everything by check, hy-
pothecating some Of his immense stock
holdings and thus turning them into
cash. He supplies nearly 90,O0O,OOO
people with every ounce Of bread they
eat with every spoonful Of cereal food
upon every breakfast table in the
United States, with every particle Of
pastry served In this broad land Of
ours. Think for one moment! Through
this monopoly Of all cereal foodstuffs
every one of 100000 people pays
tribute to him of. on the average, about
3 cents day. which amounts daily to
over $2,5O0,OO0. or In the past year to
nearly billion dollars. Actual cash.

"WHY SHOULD | USE
CUTICURA SOAP?

There is nothing the matter with
my skin, and l thought Cuticura Soap
was only for skin troubles" True, It
Is for skin troubles, but It's great mis-
sion is to prevent skin troubles. For
more than a generation its delicate
emollient and prophylactic properties
have rendered 1t the standard for this
purpose, while its extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give to 1t all the
advantages Of the best of toilet soaps.
1t is also invaluable in keeping the
hands soft and white, the hair live
and glossy, and the scalp free from
dandruff and irritation.
While its first cost Is a few cents
more than that IF ordinary toilet
soaps, 1t is prepared with such care
and of such materials, that 1t wears
to a wafer, often outlasting several
cakes Of other soap, and making its
use, in practice, most economical.
C%uticura Soap is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, but the truth of
these claims may be demonstrated

SAY HOLD FOR
I5-CENT COTTON
REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE
UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED.
Meeting at Shawnee, Okla, Scene Of
Secret Conference on Cotton
Situation.

Shawnee, Okla.-This years cotton
crop will be sold for fourteen cents dur
ing September and October and fftser
cents thereafter. This was the agree
ment of the cotton growers of the South
attending national farmers meeting
here, made Wednesday.
The action, which was unanimous, was
taken in the adoption of the report of a
special committee on minimum price.
Ihe committee was composed of cotton
growers who were largely influenced by
scores of letters and messages from all
parts of the South, many of which urged
a minimum Of fifteen cents.
The fight was for a minimum price of
cotton and to instruct the farmers of
the South not to sell their cotton until
that price was reached. Many of the
farmers favored the executive committee
OF the organization investigating in each
locality to learn just how much money
could be borrowed on the cotton and
govern the holding by their report. 1t
Is quite probable, according to the off
GERS, that this method will be adopted
and the hundreds of locals ordered to
mold their cotton until the executive
committee reports, which may be two
or three weeks.

TAR AND FEATHER GIRL
"Talked About Women" Mob's Lone
Excuse.

Shady Beno, Kas.-This section of
Kansas is just beginning to learn with
ever increasing imagination that a girl
was recently tarred and feathered by a
mob near here. The girl is Miss Mary
Chamberlain, a school teacher of this
place, and the daughter of one of the
oldest and most widely known families
in this part Of Kansas. She has always
been of good reputation,
Every effort was made by members
Of the mob and their friends, who are
the most influential and wealthy resi-
dents of this county, to hush the matter,
but details became public at the trial
Of Edward Ricord, charged with Turing
her to a number of men who are said
to have partly disrobed her and applied
q coat of tar to her body. The only
excuse given for the outrage is that
Miss Chamberlain is said to have talked
about" some women of the community.

Hours.

New York.-If the North Pole con

treems could not have met than did
Friday, when William Jennings Bryan
spent two hours with Col. Theodore
Roosevelt at the Outlook office.
After a heart-to-heart talk, the ex-
president and his former rival walked
to the elevator together and shook
hands most cordially.
The colonel was all smiles when a re-
porter saw him afterward.
"Mr. Bryan and 1 have had quite a
nice visit. We had a general talk on
interesting subjects" he explained. "The
fact is, he anne into the Outlook build.
