! war has the price of flour reached
| such a high spot as that on which it
stands today. Wheat prices have
| ascended 10 cents within the last two
days in Chicago. Flour there is sell
! ing for $3.50 barrel. The David
Page Milling company is getting SO
more barrel than it was three
| months ago. The Inter-Ocean mills
are buying wholesale at $3.50 a barrel
and are afraid they'll have to pay
even more. Topeka bakers are re-
ported worried. Topeka consumers
are despairing.
