How Bread Got Name

Y rom Ine New fOrk sun.
 "The fact that the German Emperor has called upon his people to eat a new com pound bread in order to husband the supply of wheat in Germany" said lccal baker the other day, Ifs rev1ving the old story as to the derivation of 'pumpernickep or, 'bombernickel,' the Ger man brown bread which Is more or less widely known in America. This name, so tho story runs, dates back to the in- vasion of Napoleon Of Germany.
 After hard days journey across German territory, Napoleon rode to an in by the side of the road and call- ing the proprietor ordered something to eat. His larder low through the ravages of war, the innkeeper was able to offer the great militarist only some coarse brown or black bread.
 Napoleon, shrugging his shoulders, pointed to his horse. NicoI. and said: Bon pour Nicor--the French equivalent for that is good enough for Nicol' Whether the Frenchman finally accept ed the bread or went further to look for bettep the story does not relate It does say. however. that the Germans quickly accepted this as nickname for the bread, so confusing the French words. though, as to make the form 'pumper- nickel Whether or not the tale is true one can hardly be determined, but at least 1t sounds probable"

LANCASTER REPLIES
 TO WEIGH STATEMENT
Says He Based Optimistic Utterances as to Finances of State on Con- fidence in Henderson

Montgomery. February u.-(Special ] State Treasurer W. L. Lancaster today | issued brief statement in answer to criticism of him made yesterday on the floor of the house by Representative I Welch of Jefferson county MT. Lancas- ter declared that he believes Mr. WeIch did him an unntentional injustice in crit icising him for his optimistic views of the states financial situation. while at the same time recommending the passage of bond issue. His statement follows "I desire to say in answer to the state ment made by MT. Welch of Jefferson county in the house today. that any op- timistic statement made by me to the newspapers concerning the condition of the state treasury, was based upon the confidence I had in this legislature and
 Governor Henderson taking care of the situation in the best way possible and
 to allay unnecessary uneasiness on the
 part of many people in the state and
 outside. who were being led to believe
 the state bankrupt beyond repair. My
 sole desire being to uphold the good name
 and credit of the state as I would my
 own. My unbiased opinion, formed after
 mature deliberation and investigation. is
 that one of two things will be compelled
 to be done to protect the good name and
 credit of the state and not impair effi-
 ciency of service in the state government
 i. G., issue short time bonds or raise tax
 able values to possibly 100 per cent. The
 last would be extremely burdensome to the people at this time. and, as between
 the two, I am unqualifiedly for the bond issue. At the same time, have the
 utmost confidence in our great state and
 her people to take care of every situation
 Feeling this and knowing our immense
 resources am still optimistic and as
 long as I am state treasurer I shall al-
 ways officially or otherwise, take due
 care to see that her honor and credit is protected.
 "I feel that MT. Welch in the manner in which he made the statement in the
 house today did me as believe. an un-
 intentional injustice'
