That is What Jacob schouten OF keo-
kuk Told the Master Bakers
Association at Dss Moines
Convention.
WHEAT CROP EXCELLENT
keckuk Man Who Ia Vice President Of
the Association Sees Cheaper
Staff Of Life Just
Ahead.

Jacob Schouten, vice president of
the Master Bakers association now
in convention in Des Moines says
cheaper bread is the prospect for
this year, according to the report of
the convention in the Des Moines
Capital. The Des Moines paper quotes
Mr.. Schouten as saying that the
crop outlook indicates sheaper flour
and that except for unexpected crop
disasters the bakers of Iowa will be
able to give the people a 1o-ounce
Loaf of bread for nickel this fall in
stead of the 14-ounce loaf of today.
Flour costs from $3.50 to $3.50 a
barrel now" he said. THE standard
weight of five cent loaf of bread is
fourteen ounces with flour at that
price. If the wheat crop turns out as
we'll as expected flour will be'a dollar
cheaper when the crop is harvested.
Then We bakers will make our five
cent loaves an ounce heavier.
There is great wheat crop in the
Argentine this year. The yield is from
ten to twenty million bushels heavier
than ever before Kansas and Iowa re-
port splendid prospects for bumper
crops of winter wheat for this year.
The same is true of Missouri. From
Minnesota and the Dakotas comes the
word that the soil and weather condf-
| lions are right for a big crop in that
section. Canada harvested a great crop
last year and much of it is yet to reach
| the worlds markets. Everything
points to more and cheaper wheat by
autumn. That will mean cheaper flour
and more bread to the consumer for
the same price.
Bakers Bread Popular.
People use fifty times more bak-
ers' bread than they did twenty years
ago and 1t is strange but true that
even the farmers buy bakers bread
now. This is especially true in harvest
time when the farmers wife often
sends to the nearest town for enough
extra loaves to feed the hungry har
west hands,
i Mr.. Schouten is scheduled to be
the next president Of the association
He will succeed Leo Mulgrew of Du
ibuque. L. C. kautz of Muscatine will
prbably be the choice for secretary
to succeed Acting Secretary NJ. Zins
master of Des Moines. The next con
lvention doubtless will go to Daven
port.

FACTORY INSPECTORS
OFFICE MAY CLOSE

| CAHSoo hlllASdIdlC dRpIOpl Id
ton is made, the office of the state
factory inspector will suspend, as
all the money allowed it by the
last legislature has been ex-
pended. e..
This is a statement of State
Factory Inspector Edgar T. Da-
vies, following disclosures made
at the meeting of the Chicago
Federation of Labor yesterday.
The. condition was revealed by
delegates of the Iron Moulders'
union, who said they had COM
planned to Mr.. Davies about GER
tain practices in iron foundries,
and were told that the inspec-
tors office was practically help
less because of lack of funds. The
executive board of the Chicago
Federation will make an investi-
CATION, with view to placing the
blame for the slim appropriation
made.
Already the arrears of the Of
fee have amounted to $1,000,
with no state money in sight un-
til July. Unless relief is secured
the office will be closed Feb. /, it
is feared.
Mr.. Davis will confer with Gov.
Deneen today or tomorrow in an
effort to settle the difficulty.
Davies says the enforcement of
new laws, coupled with the. small
amount appropriated, causes the
present financial condition. The
department. asked for $1,000 for
operating expenses, and received
Sl5, 500. Many new laws. in
