No Longer a Joke

When 1900 bakeries in this country go out OF
business in two years because flour has ad-
vanced from 80 cents bag to $1.40, owing to
the war; the foodstuff situation becomes men,
ace that demands federal attention and super
vision. Just because 100000 men in Europe
are induging in murder and arson, is no cogent
reason why the American worker must help pay
the bill. Clap an embargo on every bag of flour
that is exported, and give relief to Americans
first.
