BAKERS ARE RUNNING ON
VERY NANT MARGINS
Tabulation of Costs Shows that the
Dough Mixers are Not
Getting Rich

The rapidly mounting cost of living
which is affecting practically every
article that comprises the necessities
Of life naturally arouses lot of spec
ulation as to underlying causes and
has resulted in a good deal of harsh
criticism Of the producers, manufac-
turers and distributors Of foodstuffs
Recently this criticism has been di.
rected with particular severity against
the bakers, who have been charged
with combining to raise the price Of
bread to an unjustifiable figure. An
expert, who has made careful exam
nation into the cost Of producing q
loaf Of bread, comes to the defense Of
the bakers in recent article in which
he shows that instead Of the bread
makers reaping large profits and
growing rich at the expense Of the
consumers, they are in fact engaged
in a most hazardous business from q
financial standpoint, and that more
than 1,50O bakers were forced out Of
business in this state during the
months of August, September and Oc-
tober and November because Of in
ability to manufacture bread at the
prevailing prices. He shows that the
cost Of every ingredient of a loaf of
bread has advanced from % to 100
per cent, and that with the utmost
coreful management a baker makes
but one-half cent on ten-cent bread,
while he loses money on q five-cent
loaf weighing over 8 ounces. The ex-
pert's figures on the cost Of bread
production follow:
Cost Of barrel Of flour today. IS $50
(This is cost Of barrel used by
average baker who makes
good bread).
Ingredients used in making nm
dough from barrel Of flour,
including lard, sugar, milk,

information, so it is moved to post.
pone until the next meeting. Time is
flying-too much time without giving
light on the subject is being consumed
in debate, when some impatient in.
dividual moves the previous question
An unfortunate misnomer, as this mo-
ton has no reference to any previous
subject but means in reality to close
debate. The American people do not
feel the same reverence for establish
ed customs and precedents as do our
ancestors, but as there are exceptions
to all rules this is one Of them and we
retain the old term handed down to
us from England.
The presiding officer may do much
to make this motion plain if she will
state it this way: "The previous ques-
ton has been moved and seconded. AS
many as are in favor Of closing de-
bate will say aye; opposed no." And
then state the result. After all Of
these motions have been made some
one may move to table the whole
thing. An affirmative vote on this mo.
ton takes it from before the house for
the time being but does not kill it by
any means. It may be taken from the
table at any time after the transac-
ton of business just as piece of fam
cy work may be put aside in a bureau
drawer to be taken out again at the
will of the worker. You will notice
that have spoken of six motions be-
sides the main motion. These are
known as subsidiary or secondary mo-
tions. They are applied to a previous
motion and must be disposed Of be-
fore the main motion is acted upon.
They are mentioned here in the order
Of their rank. Then there are the five
incidental motions, usually five in
of still higher rank. They
may, because Of their high rank, come
in and delay proceedings. We also
have the privilege motions--four in
number and they are the highest
in rank. I am pleased to make another
miscellaneous motions,
three in number. If you count the mo-
lions that / have enumerated here you
will find that there are just nineteen.
This number may be greatly augmen-
Ted according to the requirements Of
The organization but these will serve
all purposes ordinarily. It is small
ask to learn thoroly these nineteen
and you will find yourself
oarliamentarian far above the aver
age. The various organizations which
We find today are without doubt of
great benefit to their respective COM
nunites, and my plea is not that we
lave fewer organizations but that we
lave better parliamentarians for
and officers, ''That all things
nay be done decently and in order"

From this must be deducted 8 per

This amounts to so cents, leaving a
