BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR Bread

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program in
England. It is true that the English
man buys loaf Of bread for less than
an American can, but 1t is poorer
bread, and the British government is
paying s20O,OOOO0O year toward the
cost of it.
All the grain grown in Great Brit
ain is taken over by the government
at a.farbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This is
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf of four pounds
to sell at 10 cents, the two pound loaf
at 8 cents and the one pound loaf at 8
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger ex-
traction, the four pound loaf sells tor
16 cents.

Mrs. Daniel Coonan's interview will
the bishop on January 20:

Mrs. Daniel Coonan's interview with
the bishop on January 20:
Mrs. Daniel Coonan, representative
of the Northern Division of the Red
Cross among the Catholic women of
the state, had a very interesting visit
with Bishop McGolrick while in Du.
luth on January 20, in the interest
of the Red Cross. Bishop McGolrick
is a member of the executive Branch
of the Duluth chapter and was con-
sidered a valuable help to the Red
Cross in Duluth. He was very much
interested in the organization of the
Junior branch of the Red Cross, which
is about to be completed in the North
ern Division. The parochial schools
of Duluth have been doing wonderful
work, as far as they we're able, for the
Serbian and the French relief work
for the mothers and children of
France.
Mrs. Coonan states that both Cath.
olics and Professionals expressed them.
selves as realizing the value of Bishop
McGolrick's services to the Red Cross
in his diocese. He was very dearly
loved by them all. The bishop said
