CHICAGO, Jan. Manufacture
of a ten GENT loaf of bread through
out the United States was recon-
lmended at a meeting here ydsterday:
OF the efficiency board, Of the National
Bakers Association. The board is
made up Of bakers from twenty-six
cities. They believe this action is
necessary ais a result Of the high
price Of wheat. Bread weighing
'twenty-six or twenty-seven ounces
can be produced for ten cents a loaf
at a profit, 1t was said, whereas a
loss must be faced In the manufac-
ture Of a five-cent loaf weighing
twelve ounces. The, report OF the
efficiency board, 1t was said, will
show that at the normal price flour
comprises seventy three per cent Of
the manufacturing cost of bread.

In the latest issue of it's monthly magazine, the chamber of commerce of the United States publishes some pertinent facts and figures regarding the commercial development of Ger many. Among other things, it is re- corded that in May, 1914, before the war was ever dreamed of, Germany shipped to the United States goods valued at more than $14,500,000. In May, 1915, the exports from Germany to this country amounted to only S3,- 172,000. In other words, the war saved the producing classes of this country more than S11, 100000 in ex- penditures in one country in one month. It is difficult to comprehend how any wage earner or any other man interested in the industrial pros [ erity of this country can read those figures and still advocate tariff law that invites Germany and other na- tions to supply our markets with the products of their workmen while workmen are idle.

STRAIGHT To THE FONT

Under the caption of "A Few Re- marks" the Winslow Mail takes occa- sion to express sentiments that fits many cases arising in smaller com munities. In the big" papers, sor- row, slush, slime and crime is all gathered for the ediiication of readers. The article says;
 During our brief residence here there have been two or three dirty, nasty scandals in the city, but no mention has been made of them in the columns of this paper, simply for the reason that the editor feels that re- cital of the fifty stuff is entirely out of place in a paper that goes into the homes of our. people, and is read by the children as well as their parents. The scandal-monger probably would enjoy reading the salacious details, but this paper under the present man. agement is not published for that class of people. And while we are on the subject, we want to make state ment for the benefit of few indivi- duals who are whispering about that the editor has been bribed to remain silent. The first dirty skunk that ever comes in this office and makes 8 tend CT of money to buy the silence of the editor will discover to his sorrow that he made. a mistake, because the fact that he offers the money is evidence sufficient of his guilt and fears of ex- posture. This paper is controlled by the editor only, and no outside inhu- ence will ever dictate to him what to publish or what to suppress. This perogative is exclusively his, and when he cannot make the paper sue cessful on this plan he'will get out of the business"

Flagstaff's protestant churches have a problem which they are trying to solve-that of unifcation. In other words, instead of having half dozen different denominations employing pastors at small salaries, there would be one church which all could attend the minister would be paid salary that would enable him to give his time to the work and not be worrying over the question of daily bread. The doctrine of methodism, baptism, or presbyterianism would not be taught. On the contrary, isms would be eli minated and true christianity given an impetus. It is extremely doubtful at the present time, whether the at tempt, even in small community like Flagstaff, will be successful.

THE STRIKE AND POLL C

It certainly looks as though the big strike at Clifton and Morenci among the miners was being used by Cover nor Hunt as big political strike at one and the same time The governor and his adjutant general were on the ground early in the game. A picked few national guardsmen were selected and the colonel of the regiment ignor- ed, though Major Donkersley in com mand is an able man; the strikers re- ceived the delegation of forty-five na- tional guard with open arms, seem ing to fully understand the move ment, where over 5000 men were out on a strike. The question of whether or not the men striking are wrong or right does not enter into the game. The big rich companies can take care of themselves as they usually do, they need no special sympathy from any one.
 The men as is acknowledged by their attorney Judge Lewis, have grievances.
 1t looks to rank outsider that the political side of the game was of more importance to the governor than the actual grievances of the men who will have to suffer one way or another, be- fore the game is played
 The man who works for living is the "goat" whichever way the cat jumps. A few in the deal may scratch through during the excitement,
 The working man is the pawn in any event. He may think he is serv- ing the Fellow working men, but in the end he and his family have lank, lean loins, and he eventually learns that something "up ahead" has slipped consequently Eve" couldn't make good.

It is rather amusing to real dyed in the wool citizen of the United States to learn through democratic newspapers, "that even prominent re- publicans and republican newspapers are endorsing President Wilson in his handling of the German question: ? While the democrats and progressives elected the president, he is president of the whole United States, so when it comes to fussing with other countries the more prominent republican one is, the stronger he gets right in and backs up the president of the United States.

Crowding the Line

More than 10000 peple, men, wo- men and children, are crowded in Agua Prieta as result of the flight of the inhabitants of eastern Sonora to the border occassioned by the news of the approach of Villa forces from Chihuahua. This number, of course, includes the army of General Gales, but when it is considered that this numbers at most no more than 5000 men and the townspeople of Agua Prieta no more than 1,5O0 at the high est estimate, the influx of refugees can be appreciated.
