BAKERIES TO INCREASE
BREAD PRICES

An advance in the price of
bread and other bakery goods, or
reduce the cost of operation were
the, alternatives which confronted
bakeries of the Twin Cities and
brought about the merger Of the
Purity Baking Company, the San
itary Bread Company, both of
[St. Paul and the Chicago bakery
of Minneapolis, Timothy Foley.
pre- sident Of the merger organiza
tioa announced yesterday.
Involves 81, 500, 900
The merger completed Friday
involves property valued at. more
than ST, 100000. for which the
new company, which will be
known as the Flour State Baking
company, is capitalized. The
capital stock is I'll paid up, Mr..
Foley said.
The high cost of ingredients
compelled the merge: if bread
prices are to be maintained al
the present standard, Mr.. Foley
said. With wheat at $3.50 a
bushel; sugar. lard, milk. butter
and everything else used in a
bakery at top prices, it is said
profits have been eaten up.
Many Of the bakeries of the
Twin Cities according to Mr.. Fo-
ley, had been urging for several
weeks a boost in the price of the
loaf as we'll as other bakery pro-
ducts, but the larger concerns
have opposed it, and it is hoped
that economoy of production
made possible by the merger will
Cbviate the necessity of AN in

extradiction to Chicago to face
charges that he is one of the
high Officers of the syndicate
that has dealt in stolen automo-

Chief of Police John Boettsch-

attempt, telephoned the Chicago

Let him tell his tsory in few words:

Let him tell his tsory in few words:
my father was a WHEAT farmer. As far
back as can remeber he planted wheat ev-
cry year. Then he would watch weather condi-
tions and worry. OF course, there were some
good years, but il seemed to me as though
most Of them were poor. At least. We were
always hard up and everything was mortgag
led for every cent that we could borrow.
Fortunately for, me was sent away to the
State Agricultural School and you know what
that meant. 1t didn't take long for me to find
out why We had always been SO poor. When
l got back home tried to show my father
some Of these things but do you suppose I
could influence him to let loose of wheat? I
couldn't make much Roadway at it.
Finally he just wore out with worry and the
farm was left to me. 1t was still loaded down
with mortgages but had long ago made no
my mind what would do when the RESPONSE
bility rested on my shoulders.
Instead of planting all wheat put in some

As to the cause of the apparent defeat

THE FINAL STAR

Men. holding mastery over steel and stone,
Dreaming of gain alone.
Raise giant towers in challenge to the sky,
And set proud lights on high
Beauty they seek not; but her royal sway
Returns like conquering day.
On cold, dark shafts, where shrouding
vapor clings
Her iris veil she filings,
Giving them tender outlines, many -hued,
In the airs solitude.
Those mighty temples, set for sordid power,
Wait on her changing hour.
And wear, in pageants Of the day and
night,
Her variant robes of light;
They worship, as at heavens very bars,
Her priestly, marching stars;
And in her velvet darkness musing stand
To guard her magic land.
Time is her friend. and Wills not to destroy
Her morning CLEAN of joy.
Ruin itself reads laughter In her eyes,
And finds a fairer guise.
All crafts, all projects but her vassals are
And she their fnal star.

Magazine.
