alton for the years crop

stabilize the market and keep prices
within moderate bonuds for all trans
actions during the current year
Keep Down Flour and Bread
The price Of -four and bread, too
the President declared, will be kept
down.
The committee in it's report to the
President gives as the three chief con-
siderations that entered in its delib-
erations the following:
The fact that the United States is
at war: the need Of encouraging the
producer and the necessity of reducing
the cost Of living to the consumer.
All members agreed in their discus
sions that the price fixed will permit
l4-ounce loaf Of bread for five cents,
allowing fair profit both to the -four
manufacturer and the baker.

Expects to Control Market
Although the prices are fixed on gov
eminent purchases only, the food ad-
fHlAlstration through its wheat corpor-
auon recently organized, expects to
ooHlro the market without difficulty.
Inc corporation will make all govern
ment and allied purchases and has un-
