FIGURING THE COST OF A LOAF
OF BREAD.

The Wall Street Journal has been
trying 10 find out what a loaf OF bread
Is worth. In New York It costa
loaf OF twelve ounces-6c, and the
journal was moved to the inquiry by
the suspicion that there was large
element OF human greed in this price.
So Il betook itself to figures, the most
authentic It could get. II learned that
n barrel OF -four. weighing 1876
pounds, will make about $50 Bounce
loaves, which, at &c a loaf, would yield
$3.50. Another inquiry brought
forth the information that the highest
price for the best -four to be obtained
in New York is 1925, so that the
bread TO be made out Of a barrel OF
-four yields. even at sc. loaf, an
amount twice the cost Of the -four.
But. OF course, only small part OF
the -four used is Of the highest grade,
and It Is estimated that the average
price paid for -four Is between So and
81 a barrel. The Journal concluded
that, at the utmost stretch, there Is
not more than 2lac worth OF -four in
12-ounce loaf, and It ventured to say
that at &c a loaf there is an ample
margin OF profit for both the makers
and dealers in bread.
The Journal further computed thai
the whole Of the advance that has
taken place in the price OF whea
since the war began has not added
legitimately, more than a fourth Of I
cent loaf to the cost Of making
bread. Even at wartime prices 70
flour, the Journal asserts that, at 81
loaf, there is plenty of profit FOL
both the makers and retailers o
bread, and that anything in excess 0
that price is extortion - Galveston

SUFFRAGE LEAGUE ORGANIZED


Mrs. L. il. Wallace. president OF
the Political Union OF Houston, Tues.
day at 10 a. m. gavea most interest.
ing and instructive talk to a large
gathering OF Bryan people in Hotel
Bryan. What Texas IS doing with
woman suffrage and the effect OF
cqnual suffrage upon the women
themselves, their outlook upon life
and their relation to the home Is, in
the opinion Of many. the crux OF the
problem.
Despite the recent uhfayorable
action on the suffrage amendment.
the union has gained many new mem.
bers and our constituency we do not
intend TO give up over a majority
Of women, It is readily evident that
equal suffrage has exercised a good
influence and one which inevitably
reacts TO a certain extent upon 20.
litical life Many women Of Texas
have not been aroused. many have
been discouraged and lost interest
after the failure OF our early efforts.
Comparatively few have taken an
active interest in political lines. but
thousands in other States vote. and
to every one Of these thousands the
ballot means In the outlook. No
woman ought to be discouraged from
entering any field OF thought, last Of
all that which concerns their own
country.
An equal suffrage bill was reported
favorably to the lower House Of the
Texas Legislature. The sole commit.
teeman who dissented said he for.
merly favored votes for women, but
recently had changed his mind.
Women at the polls meet not rough
and unfamiliar persons. but their
own neighbors and friends. The fact
that so many people seem to think
that a woman can go to school, work
in stores, attend banquets and public
discussions, serve on importan.
boards, read the newspapers and per.
suade her husband to vote right with.
out harming herself, but the minute
she puts a ticket in the ballot box
she will unsex herself, is an indica.
tion of the lack of the sense of humor
on the part Of otherwise thoughtful
men and women. Among the meas.
ures that can be traced to woman
suffrage within the last fifteen years
are many acts improving children's
conditions by extending juvenile
courts, limiting hours of work. pro.
viding better inspection, forbidding
sales of drinks and drugs, etc. to
children.
Rev, Mr.. Ray gave short talk on
suffrage. He said the matter had
been put up to the New York voters.
BY a unanimous vote il had been
adopted in the Senate and also adopt.
ed in the House.
The Suffrage Association was or.
ganization after hearing these in.
spring talks, by electing the follow.
ing officers: Mrs. INV. Sims, presi
dent; Mrs. w. S. Howell, first vice.
president; Rev. Mr.. Ray, second vice.
president; Mrs. r. S. Webb Ir.. third
vice-president; Mrs. ]. H. Allen. sec.
rotary and treasurer.
The organization is looking forward
with pleasure to the coming Of DR.

Schools that are constantly embroil.
ed in politics are Stunned by educa.
tors Of eminent standing and ability.
The proper manning of a college or
university is its greatest problem and
is difficult task under the most
favorable conditions. Political tur-
MOL produces feeling of unrest, of
uncertainty, and no educator likes to
work under such conditions. This is
the worst feature connected with the
present troubles of the A. & NJ. Col.
lege and the State University. Abso.
lutte enforcement would cure in a
large measure this ailment.
