BAKER FEARS THE
HOUSEWIFE MOST
He Says that Nearly Half the
Women in Omaha Bake
Their Own Bread.
ABOLISH FIvE.c CENT LOAF
By A. r. GROH.

Il presume that the amount OF
homemade bread baked in Omaha is
very small" l remarked to one OF
Omaha's biggest bread bakers, who
asked me not to use his name.
Then you presume quite wrongly"
he replied, ironically, satirically, sar-
caStically and in way that showed he
wished there wasn't so much home
made bread.
Just about As per cent of the bread
consumed in Omaha is baked right in
Omaha homes," he said.
"Forty-five per cent" | cried, ejac-
ulated and exclaimed, for | was sur
prised, just as you are.
SO this man, who knows the bread
situation from A to Z, went into fig
ures.
Barrel of Flour Each.
According to the United States
government reports" he said, five
and one-third bushels of wheat are
made into bread each year for each
person in the country. That is a lit
tie more than one barrel of flour per
capita per year.
This would make about three-quar-
tiers of loaf Of bread per capita per
day. -
Omaha, therefore. consume 10000
loaves of bread per day. | know that
all the bakers of the city produce
about SIS per cent of that amount.
Therefore, the housewives of the city
bake the other IS per cent"
This fact being established beyond
the shadow of doubt, the big baker
went into scientific explanation of
bread baking. He talked about glu-
ten and protein and starch and fat
and moisture.
But there was something else on his
mind.
To Abolish Five Cent Loaf.
Finally the question of the threat
ened increase in bread prices camS up.
The bakers not only in Omaha, but
all over the country, propose, you
know, to abolish, discontinue and rem
der obsolete the Scent loaf of bread.
I In fact, they not only propose it,
but they are going to do it, says this
baker, before snow flies" The Scent
loaf, they say, is wasteful, inefficient
and Improbable.
But what they fear most in carry
ing out this plan?
Not their competitors, for they.
would nearly all agree on the plan.
Not the invocation of law to prevent
the move.
They fear the biggest baker of all,
a baker almost as big as all the other
bakers put together. This bakers
name is N Housewife, who, as
stated above axes ne y half of all
the bread eaten in Omaha.
Mrs. Housewives output will in
crease as the price of the bakers out
put goes up.
Little Johnnie will come marching
back from the bakery or grocery store
some day and say, ma, they don't
bake Scent loaves any more"
"All right, Johnnie" ma will say.
And then she will step to the tele-

about to declare war, whereupon Mr.
Hoover interviewed, touching him on
the arm and saying, None of that
goes here, Reed | did not strike
Mr.. Reed, nor did | make any attempt
to strike him."
Mr.. Hoover gave his version of the
mix, which was about as Mr.. White
had told it.
Are Directors Depositorsl
Argument on the case against four
stakeholder DIRECTOR epositors of the
Decatur bank occupied two hours of
the time of Judge Days court. Attor-
ney John F, Stout appeared for the
directors. Decis on was withheld by
Judge Day pending conferences re-
garding other involved banking mat
tiers. Four directors assert they de-
posted $500 each, borrowed from
the Security State bank OF the South
Side. They now ask the payment OF
the $4,000, claiming themselves de-
positors under the state depositors'
guarantee fund. An assessment on all
state banks of Nebraska for the pay
Lent OF losses resulting from the fail
ure has been made. The attorney gen.
eral argues that because of these men
being directly interested in, the bank
they are not to be classed as depos-
itors and are therefore not entitled to
the payment by the state banking
board.
When the Farmers State bank of
Decatur was crumbling, Albert S.
White deposited $1,000 to aid in saw
ing it, and also to aid him in securing
a charter for the State bank he and
Mr., Hoover were organizing said
the attorney general in his argument
before the court, Among the claims
filed with the bank is one for $45 in
terest asked by Mr.. White. This is
the amount due, he claims, on the de-
post. Mr.. White and Mr.. Hoover
also deny that John W. Elliott, cash
Ter Of the defunct Decatur bank, was
a stakeholder or subscriber of the

dent of Central State
Wanted Probe Stopped,
TWO SIDES TO THE STORY

Financial complications arising
from ,thc failure of the Farmers State
bank OF Decatur. and the failure OF
organizers OF the proposed Central
State bank of Omaha to secure a
charter, brought an encounter at the
court house entrance Monday morn
ing, when Attorney General Reed de-
declares he was assaulted by Albert
is. White, president OF the proposed
Central State bank.
When the attorney general APP
peared in district court before Judge
Day to argue against the payment OF
$4,000 to four directors of the de-
tunet Decatur bank, claiming that they
are not depositors in the strict sense
of the word, he was loud in his de-
nunciation of OF Mr. White and his
proposed cashier, Mr.. Hoover.
Cause of Assault.
They assaulted me on the steps
OF the court mouse, because OF my re-
fusal to agree to their demands re-
garding $4,000 deposited in the Farm
ers State bank by Mr.. White" said
Attorney General Reed. "Mr, White
insisted that ! cease investigating GER
tain phases of the institution, and de-
manded that | decide the matter with
out coming into court. When | re-
fused, and invited him to open court
to thresh out his tribulations, he called
me a vile maine, swung his fist, and
Mr.. Hoover stepped between us to
prevent serious alteration. | broke
one of my knuckles several years ago

legal action will take in the matter"

Police Discover
D.. Case Where White
Proves to Be Black

Police learned of a new wrinkle in
the gentle art Of picking pockets last
night when Officers Walker and SUIT
ton arrested Margaret Campbell, COL
ored, Of SIS South Thirteenth street,
on charge of robbing bibulous men.
According to the police, Margaret,
who is coal black, goes abroad with
her face painted almost chalk white.
After she gets a victim interested, po-
lice say, She robs him and then disap-
pears to a convenient spot and re-
moves the makeup. Her next step is
to be in place where the victim will
find her when he comes along with
detectives after making complaint,
and in most cases, she is passed up
as too dark Her ruse, or rouge,
failed last night, however and she
was jailed after being identified. Po-
lice say they have sought in vain for
months for white woman" of Mar
garet's description, in response to
many complaints.

"ForCe" Puts One Over
On Detective Lahey

Detective Dan Lahey, recently re-
cruit in the ranks of the benedicts,
was covered with confusion last night
when he appeared at police headquar-
tiers wheeling a matrimonial fruit
basket.
He had recovered it from a shed
near Twenty-fourth and Hickory,
where it had been hidden with other
loot recently stolen.
How'll l get this baby carriage to
the station?" Dan asked Captain
Dempsey when he telephoned in his
report. -
'Wheel it in" commanded Demp-
sey, So Lahey, rather than face pos
sible disciplining for characterization,
obeyed. When he got to the station
he was met by as many of his friends
as could be notified in time.
