DO Bakers Manufacture
Bread or Just Make 1t?
This Point Is Being Contested by Ex-
hibitors at the Tulsa County
Fair.

MANUFACTURE. The process
OF making or forming anything by
the hand or machinery; the
operation of reducing raw ma
teral OF any kind into forms suit
able for use. To make or fabri-
cate from raw materials.
This is the definition the Rt. Hon.
Noah Webster gives and two sides
with entirely divergent views are at
tempting to prove by this very ruling
that they are right. How it Is all
going to end is as yet obscured In the
dust OF the wrangle.
In II nutshell this Is the question at
hand. Is n who'll sale bakery a man
ufacturing plant? II 1t is then the
Middle West Baking company Is en-
titled to the manufacturers prize
awarded II by fair judges yesterday,
and If 1t is not. then another one of
Tulsa's-or rather one of Tulsa's-
well. anyway some Tulsa manufac-
turer who exhibited at the fair will
get II.
The Kerr Glass company started the
upheaval yesterday afternoon and
other concerns joined in. The Kerr
company entered formal protest
against the baking company getting a
manufacturers prize and offered as
its basis for argument the Webster's
definition. In its strike back" the
baking company offered the same
definition. Both say their side Is up
