MAY BUILD HOME

Glen Ullin, N. D., March 7--If plans
and ideas advanced by members of
the local Camp of Modern Woodmen
can be brought to realization. Glen

members of the local camp seems to
be the most popular as we'll as feasi-

CITY SEEKS SOLUTION
OF BREAD PROBLEM
Inspectors of Bureau of Weights
and Measures Begin Off
cial Investigation

The first thorough official investigation
or the bread question In Philadelphia is
being conducted this week by four Of the
most reliable inspectors of the Bureau of
Weights and Measures under John Virdln,
supervisor. Loaves in virtually all stores
and bake shops of the city have been
weighed and tested. and all changes of
price or size of loaves have been recorded.
This bread question Is one OF the big
gest Items in the cost of living and de-
mands thorough investigation" said Mr.
Virdin this morning II think the exact
determination of the truth In regard to
bread has not been made heretofore. and
there has been too much wild talk on both
sides. This inspection we have been maxi
ing this week may lead to other important
items Of the commodity problem in Phila-
delphia. which is in fact, the biggest prob
lem in the everyday life of every family.
Under present systems there is too much
hold-up between the producer and the con-
sumer of food products The producer does
not get the benefit of some of the big prices
that now prevail; it is the middleman who
takes advantage Of the high-cost living
agitation to reap riches for himself He
thinks the public will stand for anything.

WILSON BID FOR VOTES
TOBE BASED ON PEACE
AND PROSPERITY WORK
Adamson Law and Business
Preparedness for Time After
War Will Also Be
Made Issues
WIFE WILL MAKE TRIPS
By ROBERT J. BENDER

ASBURY PARK, N. j., Sept 29--Four
issues-peace prosperity. business prepar-
edness and the eght-hour law--will be held
paramount by President Wilson when he
goes into the country TO finish his cam
pagn for reelection. II was learned today.
These issues he regards as the ones upon
which the voters will vindicate or repudiate
his Administration.
The President Is feeling nt, appears a
trine heavier and says he's in great trim
for the trips West. He is enthusiastic
about going-as Is Mrs Wilson, who will
accompany him everywhere. II will be
Mrs. Wilson's first taste OF n real campaign
and she Is preparing for II with zest.
THE MAN ON THE STREET
The man on tho street, the President be-
lieves, is thankful frst OF all that his coun-
try Is Mt peace. For that reason his fore
most appeal TO the voters will be not to
accept what the President terms radical
changes of policy. which may alter the
whole aspect OF the nations life" and
''endanger the present terms Of peace and
good will with the world"
Secondly, he will point to the prosperity
of the country and tell how the Admins
tration has placed a legislative bulwarx
under this TO preclude the possibility of
financial depression at the conclusion Of
the European war
CONSTRUCTIVE POLICY
He plans to offer constructive policy to
meet the unprecedented economic condi-
tions which will arise when Europe again
Is able to enter the competitive markets
of trade In this he will appeal particularly
to the young men and those upon whom "the
future development of the country depends
In an unusual and peculiar degree" He
will urge the cultivation of Imagination
vigor, vision and enterprise" to meet the
new era.
Finally the President will challenge his
political critics to meet squarely the eight
hour day issue and state what they would
have done in a situation similar to that
confronting him recently. when n great rail-
road strike was threatened.
would you now. II in power, repeal the
Adamson law" is a question which may be
expected by Hughes In the near future.
