The High Cost Of Bread

Avoca, Ia, Sept. 1S.-To the Edi-
tor Of The Bee: You need not have
high prices on bread II you do not
want same. According to latest medi-
cal works. about right living, fine
bolted wheat flour is not as healthy
as whole wheat ground.
So mill and elevator can thorough
ly cleanse the wheat from dust and
any foreign substance and grind the
same coarse like rye meal.
AS this can be done at few cents
per 100 pounds-both cleansing and
grinding-you furnish your own sack
and do your own livery and do your
own baking and you will have two
pound loaves for 81 cents
Bakers cannot do this work-paying
high wages for help and using high
grade bolted flour, wax wrapping pa
per for each loaf, delivery, credit and
lots of other service-all these things
cannot be done for nothing. ]. K.

Oakland, Ia, Sept. 13.-To the Edi-
tor of The Bee: Now that the season
for holding county fairs has closed a
brief review of some of the good, bad
and Indifferent features accomplished
may be of more or less interest The
largest ear of corn, the biggest pump
kin and squash, and the various arti-
cles prepared by the women folk all
have their place In the makeup of a
well-regulated show of this nature.
For the men folks spirited and good
natured rivalry abounds In the exhi-
bition of stock and the good points
presented prove that most any type
shown has points of ,excellency worth
cultivating.
Even the baby show has set the
younger set thinking and doubtless
some of them lie awake nights medi-
tating on racial Improvement that
may startle the world within the next
two or three decades One thing Is
certain, when such time arrives there
will be comparatively few of us whose
heads are whitening with the frosts
of many winters that will be consulted
with regard to affairs of state and ma
ton when that day arrives.
1t is the county fair of today that
is an affair of concern to us. The con-
cessions as conducted at the present
time will some day cause confessions
that that part of conducting county
fairs is wrong. 1t is probably here
where the prophet struck the key
note when he said "A fool and his
money is soon parted" Also asking the
question, why spend We your money
for that which is not bread?" 1t is
here where there is a possibility Of
youth getting in bad in purchasing
prize packages and playing games OF
chance. The slime and filth Of the
snake lady and the dance Of pioneer
days, with shows "for men only" and
"boys under IS not admitted"
1t is said that Nero fiddled while
Rome was burning. Shall we Of to-
day fiddle" while youth burns on
the altar of foolish concessions that
have no educational value at the
county fairs of the present or future?
The county fair is right, but some
of the methods and rules of conduct
ing same should be amended.

COCKPITS DESERTED FOR
THE BASERAIIi FIELDS

Baseball can hardly be counted the
advance guard Of civilization. but in
the Philippines. at least. it ranks well
up toward the front. Dir. Robert f.
Speer, after a recent visit TO the
islands. tells an interesting story of
advancing civilization among Uncle
Sans brown children:
THE beautiful roads which have
been opened are doing much more
than transporting merchandise. They
are sending ideas freely from town to
town and village to village. where for
merly ideas like the old carts, were
begged In the mud OF the ancient
trails. Where the road ran by the
open square in one village we saw
what is now a characteristic and sig
nificant sight. The boys Of the village
were playing a baseball match. the
work OF the day being done and the
girls. in clean dresses were sitting
on a grassy bank cheering the play
ers. Behind them stood the old
church and not far away the cockpit
in neglect. The treasurer of one prov.
ince told me indeed that baseball was
slowly killing out the cockpit; that
the new generation felt that there
were other things that were more
worth while Along the roads from
town to town such new ideas are run
ming now And over these highways
the messengers of the gospel and
their message also pass-were they
not meant for thiS?"

DISTINGUISHED HONORS
FOR JAPANESE CHRISTIANS

Nothing illustrates more signally
the growing influence of Christianity
in Japan than the fact that at the re-
cent coronation OF Emperor Yoshi-
hito, distinguished honors were con-
ferred upon many well-known Chris
tians--a number many times out OF
proportion to the numerical strength
of Christianity in the empire. Seven
Of the fourteen decorations conferred
on educators fell TO Christian Jap
anese connected with mission schools.
ON the following six was conferred

or peculiar interest is the fact that
posthumous court rank was conferred
on DIR. Joseph Hardy Neesima and
Mr.. Yamamoto. founder OF the Doshi-

Thus after their death comes the of

Save the Negroes

In Alabama, where liquor SHIP
ments are limited by law, the express
companies have special distributing
desks at which those who expect snip
ments must apply. On certain days
and at certain hours of the day the
lines before these desks are long. Mr..
Pershing, OF the Anti-Saloon League
of that State. says that he recently
saw sixty-eight people in line. wait
ing for their shipments. OF these
sixty-eight. sixty-six we're negroes.
Still another line on another day was
made up entirely Of negroes. forty
eight of whom were women.
Why should the United State pro-
tect its Indians and fail to protect
its negroes? Alcohol is a selective
poison. The negroes have not had
past experience with IL of any
length and severity. They are esps
cially resistant to malaria just as
the inha bitants of Western Europe
are especially resistant to tubercu.
losis, but the great destroyer RACES
through their blood with peculiarly
devastating effects. The toxic quail
ties of alcohol search out and expose
every weakness inherent in their
race.

MANY scIr.snnnortInc Churches.

Those who are fighting foreign mis-

There are other boards that report
