UP GOES BREAD.

| 1t seems almost paradoxical that the
price of bread from ten cents to fifteen
| cents on the very day when the gov
eminent has fixed the price of SEQ Il
| bushel for the wheat crop of 1917. The
bakers say that this raise is not fifty
| per cent rs 1t looks. because they will
sell a loaf of sixteen ounces as against
wha, was known as IL short pound loaf
| Nevertheless this Is a pretty stiff raise
| and calls for explanation.
The argument is that the supply of
| four. bought, months before the sharp
! advance. has been exhausted and that
| now when 1t becomes necessary to
purchase flour at the present price the
! price of bread must be advanced in
order TO secure a living profit.
| The wheat of the 1871, crop will not
| when the new government price will
be in vogue. We are informed by Mr..
! Alexander Benson Of tho Garden City
| bakery that by the first of November
! there should be Il decrease of s. a bar
rel to the Missoula bakers under the
! present price. Flour then should cost
| them Sll Il barrel as against SIS ut
! this time.

other words, the increase may be jus
| titled until the new crop of wheat is
| available for the bakers. In sixty days
| there will he no justification for Il
The people who buy this staple of
| life are tremendously interested in this
! situation and Will eagerly watch the
. result of Mr.. Bensons forecast
| 1t is not SO long since President vii
| son in a message to the country an
I, nounced that the government would
| compel fair prices for all necessities
| furnished to it during the war Much
more significant was his promise that
! the people would not pay more than
! the government for these necessities.
! II the government is to buy flour for
! our allies at two dollars a barrel less
/ than tho prevailing price, then Ger
! taInlN the people may not be expected
! to pay more If they are compelled
to Pay more there will be Il very de
| cided Weakening OF confidence in the
administration at Washington.
Ii is interesting to note that as the
/ MiSsoula it is announced from Wash
ington that members Of the price fix
| ing committee in making IL price of
SO for wheat agree that this Will
| permit the selling of a fourteen ounce
| loaf OF bread for five cents allowing u
fair profit To both manufacturer and
baker.
We should say that the price of
bread depends somewhat on the To-
calitN though there should not be a diff
| terence of ten cents a loaf between
! Washington and Assoula. According
to the Chicago papers the old time
five cent loaf will not bc revived. The
bakers say that the reduction will not
permit the bakers to continue the ten
cent Loaf without a loss.
We Will be interested in watching
the price schedule OF Mssoula bakers

pie are getting over the old fash
tOned idea that art Is culture
course only. II is not necessary to use
pencil or color to study art. There
are fields in athletics and art his
tory whose exploration will yield
more culture than similar search in
other courses most pursued by the
university student. An art educa-
ton creates desire to execute
beautiful things: not necessarily pic
lures. poems or statues, but things
of beauty pertaining to every day
life. 1t gives a right desire that
cannot be gained through routine
education.
Art has also an economic value.
and is not 4 luxury for only the
wealthy to enjoy. Art is a necessity
to the nation. for ideals are given
birth by individuals. and ultimately
transform national life. Art has u
true relation to life and therefore
can readily be classed as true edit
cation. Theory is valueless unless It
is applied in practice, and art that
is capable of making it's appeal
through utility will always be appre-
ciatcd. \ good many people are un-
der the impression that Il knowledge
of art possesses il sentimental value
only. and picture dreamy artists
idling their time away by dabbling
IN OIL crayon and clay. Applied art
such as illustrating. advertising. car
looming and metal-craft. is anything
but sentimental.
The art department at the uni
versity will bring first class art ex-
hibits to Missoula next winter. and
