 The food administration considers com mercial bakeries of three types: Those selling to retailers. those baking bread Tor chain stores of their own manage ment, and the small bakers selling direct to consumers. The greatest reform in distribution probably can be effected in the first class, of which the wholesale baking cost and profit represents about l6l per cent of the retail price, 13 per cent the cost of delivery to retailers and 20 per cent the retailers profit and dis tributing cost
 Therefore" says Mir Hoover "the cost or distribution from the wholesale bakers door represents 3s per cent of
 the cost of bread or over 3 cents a round at present prices.''

THANKSGIVING

President Wilson in his Thanksgiv-
ing Proclamation makes no attempt
to recount the specific things for
which the Nation at this time has
cause to be grateful Had the parti-
cularized doubtless he would have
given the result Of the Second Liberty
Loan prominent place among those
things for which the Nation should be
thankful.
For the great result of the Second
Liberty Loan campaign, with nearly
100000 Americans rallying to the
financial support Of the Nation and
subscribing over four and half bill
llion dollars for the purchase of Lib
erty Loan Bonds, is cause for deep
thanksgiving In the heart of every
loyal American.
President Wilson says the Nation
should give the opportunity to serve
mankind as we once served ourselves
in the great day of our Declaration Of
Indepence by taking up arms against
the tyranny that threatened to master
and debase men everywhere.
So, too, can all subscribers to the
Liberty Loan be thankful that they
have been given an opportunity to aid
in this great mission Of America and
have done their part toward giving to
the world liberty and pustice and Sc
curity from the tyranny that threat
ems to master and debase all nations
and all men.
Every purchaser OF Liberty Loan
Bond has struck blow for human
liberty and for civilization and hu-
manity. Let them remember this on
Thursday. the goth day OF November
and be thankful.

The war-savings plan provided for

THE GOVERNMENT CALLS 10 IT'S
WOMEN POWER


In the present social arrangement
tho family is recognized as unit. The
draft which the demand Of her has
made on the family. and on tho ma
ton which is our larger unit has
drawn upon our men to such an ex-
tent that II Is going TO devolve upon
the women OF the United States to
step to the front In all additional SER
vice which they find In themselves q
capacity OF rendering. II doe, not
follow that there is less responsible
ity for the home or that which has
been woman's responsibility and wo-
mans duty In the past Is le;sened /;
but rather along with 1t goes in
creased demand In other lines.
That the women of this country
may do their share In the winning OF
the war for Freedom for Humanity,
and in making safe that freedom to
ourselves which Is a safeguard to the
unity of family and nation, the gov
ernment Is calling for women's ser
vice in all lines in which they can
render service, either paid or volun-
teer unpaid service. In return the
government wishes to raise the stan
dard of efficiency in many occupa-
tions which women are now pursuing
in their home, by giving instruction
to groups of housekeepers in dairy
ing, chicken raising, bread making,
knitting, gardening, stock raising and
in all sorts Of production of those ne
1essities of life. In this way the food
may be raised and the industries OF
the United States may 60 on under
war conditions as nearly as possible
as 1t did in times Of peace.
While the large part of our men are
fighting in the greatest struggle this
world has ever known-fghting for
the preservation of our nation, the
preservation of our homes; and for
the preservation of family life, and
the family as a social unit. Fighting
for the preservation of civilization
against the most utter barbarism the
world has ever known, the govern
ment is asking that the women of the
nation shall consider and think what
they each individually can do to keep
our industries and our food supply
up to the maximum, To that end it
is asking of every woman What can
you do? What service can you give
your nation, either as trained or un-
trained service either as paid SER
vice or unpaid volunteer service?'
II you are producer at home, or 6
paid worker in the shops, Office or fac
tory, you are in helping yourself help
ing your government, for everything
that women raise counts as help to-
wards feeding Americans, American
soldiers in Europe, the Allies and the
fatherless children of the Allies. Ev-
cry necessity women manufacture
helps win the war, as the place wo-
men take in a factory releases man
to Join the ranks. In this way the
women of the nation may keep the
home fires burning" the home fires of
industry and production that the
world may not starve while the life
struggle for the continuance of free
dom and civilization goes on. Take
careful inventory of your powers
and capabilities and register on the
government registration card when
the day comes, what you can do and
will do.
