BREAD WEIGHTQUESTON
NOT TO BE AGITATED
Chamber of Commerce Head Sees No
Need of Action.

That no radical action will be taken
by the Chamber of Commerce regarding
the Standardization of bread weight, Is
the opinion of P. r. Moran, president of
the organization.
President Moran said last night:
tha wheat crop were being kept in
this country, there is no doubt the pres
ent agitation would not have been raised.
but with a large percentage of its being
sent to belligerent countries, 1t neces-
sartly follows that prices here should
rise. Naturally the bakers. to meet this
rise, must have some outlet for their tn
creased expense, and as the people seem
to object to paying more than s cents per
loaf, the remaining solution Ia to cut the
size Of the loaves. Although this is prob
ably distinction without a differences.
1t Is peculiarly more acceptable to the
people"
While the chamber will no doubt dis
cuss the matter at its next meeting 1t
viii be with the idea of fairness to the
baker as well as to the consumer"

Wits SOLO GROCERY
BUSINESS TO HOLMES
New Firm WiIi-Take Charge OF
Store On Next Monday
Morning ~
From Saturdays Daily.


GIL. Holmes and son Harry Holmes,
have purchased the business interests
of the Wits Grocery and Bakery on
jackson street, and will take posses
sion Monday morning, February 2S.
Mr. Wits was in the business for
about three years, having purchased
the store from Davies Brothers, and
being an enterprising business man he
worked up fine trade, as he gave
strict attention to the details of the
store. Desiring to enter other lines
OF business he decided 20 sell out,
and closed the deal with Messrs.
Holmes. Mr.. Wits has made many
friends, and his genial face will he
missed from behind the counter
c. l.. Holmes, the new proprietor,
is we'll known resident and bust
ness man of Mankato, having been
in the book and stationery business
here for nearly twenty five years, lm-
der the firm name of Stewart and
Holmes. Several years ago Mr. Holmes
sold his hook store and went to Bit
ter Root Valley, Mont, to improve his
health. While there he purchased
small fruit ranch, which he has been
developing until now it is in shape
to produce sufficiently to rent. Re
gaining his health by the change of
climate and work, Mr.. Holmes thought
best to re-cnter the business field,
and having several years experience
i'll the grocery business previous to
coming to Mankato his mind natur-
ally turned TO that occupation. His
son Harry, who will soon be here to
take an interest in the store, is we'll
known here. having grown to man
hood in Mankato.
Mr.. Wits has several propositions
in view but has not decided which one
he will take up.

suit of using poor seed He spoke
particularly of the fact that many
farmers still. chung to the old fashioned
custom of picking out the poorest of
their potatoes to use as seed, and
thus raised one bushel, where they
might be raising three.
Believes In Consolidated Schools.
The former governor showed that
he was an enthusiastic believer in the
consolidated rural school movement.
He spoke of the progress that had
been made in many parts of the state
in the past few years in abolishing
little country schools, and getting
the districts together for the erection
and maintenance of larger schools.
He remarked that the little red
school house was to stay for some
time yet, and while it did stay, it
should be made as efficient as possible
but it took the consolidated RURAL
school to satisfy the present educa-
tional needs and the country boy and
girl. He believed heartily in the
teaching of the old alphabet, but he
said it was necessary now to teach
the new alphabet of the rural ,educa-
ton, the alphabet that started out like
this: Alfalfa, butter, corn" etc.
In closing the meeting, President
Green extended the thanks of the
association to Judge Comstock and
former Governor Eberhart, and
warned them that they were likely to
be called upon again, when the asso
citation held its next convention.
