BAKERS START
 MOVEMENT FUR
 WHEAT EMBARGO
Associated Press.)

CHICAGO. Oct 20.-At the head quarters of the Master Bakers As sociation of this city tonight it was stated that the association is now planning to ask the government for an embargo on the eXportation of wheat. This step, in the opinion of the officials of the association. is necessary if the price of wheat and flour is to be reduced in price to level where people of the poorer classes can afford to buy bread The raise, they claim, is due entirely to the European war and the consequent large quantities of wheat which are being sold for export
 A large part of the wheat of the world it is stated, now comes from the United States and Canada Rus sia is producing comparatively little to what she formerly raised, and the Australian wheat crop has fallen off greatly Nor is the wheat crop of the United States or Canada as large as it was last year and the year before. All of these reasons are be ing given by the master bakers in their plea for an embargo.
 It was reported tonight at the Mas ter Bakers headquarters that 10S bakers of this city have failed dur ing the past three months as the re suit of the high price of flour, caused directly by the high price of wheat.

New York Fashion Letter

A fashion letter from New York says: If We wear all the furry fash. ions that the fur designers have pre- pared for us for our fall and winter frocks. Eskimos will look positively bareskinned in comparison.
 Fur coats are to be fuller and more ripply than last season, and in or der to rob Peter to pay Paul or, in other words, save on our other fur garments to put more into our coats, muffs are to be positively skimpy, as 'twere. Just little, round, bullet affairs
 The craze for moles that has evinC- ed itself in our summer fur collars promises to lap over in the winter season, and, in consequence, these little underground inhabitants have sky high prices Basklng in the dag bling light of popular fancy is enough to account for the blindness of the 1916 mole.

 Obviously, with such a craze for lurs impending, near furs or materi- als made to initiate the real thing will be much in evidence. Ederel- lat" is one which stimulates broad tall. It comes in narrow strips for bandinga, and also n yard-width lengths. In the same widths also come "ursine." which has a thick, soIt, tulIike nap.
 For frocks We will ape the monks with two materials loosely woven like sackcloth, or the coarse fabric of which friars robes are made.
 Serge and gabardine still continue

 As for colors We are to go quite subdued and almost sombre, demure- ly draped in brown, blue or violet
 Brown in particular is to be much worn. and many smart 1all suit will be done brown. There is d new shade of it called "senegalais.' At least its name is new, and that is about all, as it would be hard to differentiate between it and our old brown friend "tete de negre."

A Tribute to Mother
Mother, dear. your soul has fled
Back to your Gods great home
Back to your sphere from whence you
came
To dwell before the throne.
Well miss you. o, how we'll miss you
For all your tender care,
For all your kindness and your love
For your judgment so matchless ant
fair.
what a strong soul has left US
What character full of worth;
/ You've nobly served your maker
While dwelling on the earth.
Like the flower planted In spring
time,
Maturing to blossoms and seeds,
Casting fragrance and sweetness
around it
Inspiring to noble deeds.
SO your life so grand, yet so humbl,
| Has impressed to such degree
That your children will ever remem
Der
Until again your face they see.
/ o, mother, how sad Is our parting!
We've loved you so long you know
But death itself you feared not
How sublime it is thus to go
BY such faith the grim death sleep
Shall no longer our souls dismay,
And through Christ's blessed atone
ment
VIII bring resurrection day
