landrich pioneers made a division OF
ms wealth among his children. none
OF them wanted that island, but fin
ally, as the story is told. the daughter
Nancy took 1t as her portion, and
therefore the name In derision of Nan
took IT, And Nancy did not become
wealthy on that account New IL Is
different with Nantucket island. IL

of them have subscribed total of
S265.00O for Liberty bonds. That
means an average OF s1,1OO for tho

Islander. That is what Nantucket
has grown up to from a worthless
island of one hundred years ago, thru

OVER 100 SIGN THE PLEDGES
No More Bread to Be Taken
From Dealers; Means
Big Saving.

Bakers Of Tulsa, IN common with
those Of the rest Of the United States
are preparing to take the first i'm
portant step requested Of them by
Herbert G. Hoover in his campaign
TO conserve the food resources Of the
United States and on Tuesday they
will discontinue the practice OF TAX
ing back unsold bread from the re-
taller Grocers will bug their bread
as they buy everything else on their
shelves and VIII sell II as merchan-
disc and not as something taken on
approval.
81 am sure the bakers Of Tulsa are
patriotic and appreciate the need OF
cooperation with the government,
said G E. Lahman, local chairman n,
acting under appointment of the war
emergency committee on the baking
industry, yesterday. 4 am convinced
that the change will he for the best
Interests OF all concerned and ! am
anxious that the consuming public
shall understand that this is "A patri-
otic service we are rendering the
government as "A part OF the neccs-
sary war program"
Mr.. Lahman has received word
from Cincinnati. Omaha and other
cities. where the reform was insti-
tuted several weeks ago. and In each
instance the change has been made
without trouble and without loss TO
the baker or the grocer. In some in
stances increases are reported, due to
new tendency OF housewives 20 buy
instead Of bake their bread
" is estimated by baking authori-
ties that the elimination of this waste
will result in the saving Of from il2,-
600, 900 TO S20.000.000 a year. MT
Hoover recently made the statement
that the bakers were moving mor-
rapidly than any other industry to
comply with the requests made Of
them. Their cooperation, he says.
