Five-Cent Bread is
With Us Yet a While

After discussing for several hours
the nickel-loaf-of-bread situation the
master makers of Omaha last night
adjourned without coming to a def
mite agreement as to instituting the
dime loaf entirely and doing away
with the nickel loaf. 1t had been
expected they might decide to abolish
the nickel loaf entirely. Because
some Of the members OF the club
are absent from the city and because
other master bakers in the city are
not members of the club, action on
the matter was not praticable last
night.
When the lo-cent loaf of bread
comes to take the place of the nickel
loaf in Omaha the bakers estimate it
will weigh somewhere between TWEEN
ty and twenty-three ounces.
