LOCAL BAKERS

FLOUR SHORTAGE
Most of Them Have Been U.s.
ing "ViCtOry Bread" For
muIa For Some Time.

South Bend bakers didn't start
using a five per cent cereal -four
10 make bread with Monday morn
ing, as per Wilson's order. They
couldn't start then, since most Of
them have been doing that very
thing for more than a week, accord
ing to the statement of Charles
Roessler. a local baker.
The flour situation in South Bend
is very grave. The total supply in
the hands of bakers Monday, aug
mented by all that could be obtained
from grocers, in lots of five 10 20
pounds, was hardly enough 10 last
over two days.
Since all flour purchases from
Monday on are to be made under
the government regulation, which
provides that flour may be sold only
when a specified quantity of cereal
flour is sold with it. it is probable
that South Bend viii be eating the
20 per cent cereal bread long before

regulation, il is said by bakers here.

Bakers association has been called

ton. and also deputy food admins
traitor At this meeting, which is to
be held at the jefferson hotel at s
o'clock. the method by which to get
the best result with the use of cereal
-four will be explained TO the bakers.
Most South Bend bakers started,
if they had not already begun. to
use the cereal formula Monday.
Nearly all expressed their willing
ness to abide by the government
rulings. and cheerfully explained the
situation.
Buses bakery, Mr.. ROessler, and
other bakers declare the bread they
had put out for sale Monday COM
piled with government requirements.

formation on the point was refused.
May Not Reach City.
Fear that no flour would reach
the city in time to avert the threat
ened famine was expressed by
bakers. The flour which was or
dered three or four weeks ago. has
not yet come in" they said. LAS
far as we can find out. it isn't being
moved very rapidly by the rail-
roads"
This state Of affairs, it seems, will
mean that very little bread will be

The result would be very material

of the situation said.

Where coal is in transit the re-

will make handling exceedingly diff
