did YOU
KNOW

That people I'm Mexico. Mo-. H3 miles
distant from Marshalltown, eat every
day bread baked In Marshalltown on
the same day that IL is eaten In Mex
leo?
That people living In Oelwoin. soy
enty-two miles distant from Marshall
town. have on their tables bread bak-
ed In Marshalltown the same day that
1t IL eaten In Oelwein?
That the people of Belle PLANE,
thirty-flve miles away, eat Marshall
town baked bread, and that MARSHALL
town bread is shipped to every town
on the Story City branch?
Six bakeries in this city produce
daily $500 loaves of bread, TO say moth
ing large quantities of rolls and all
kinds of pastry. The bread alone rep
resents value daily of $500, and the
monthly output of bread, rolls, and
pastry is worth 100000.
Now that the war is over, and the
bakeries have passed thru ono of the
most dangerous crises to their business
that could possibly arise--the restric-
ton OF flour and the demand that sub
stitutes be used-at least two of the
bakeries are planning extensive inn
provements to increase their outputs.
The Standard bakery expects next
month to add to it's capacity so that
/ 900 loaves of bread may be baked
every hour Of the twenty-four. The
Strub bakery also is planning to in
crease its output materially.
But with this large output of bread
in Marshalltown, there is being ship
ped into Marshall'own every day bread
from Cedar Rapids and Mason City.
Altho the quantity is not large it is
bread that is shipped into community
that could be supplied at home just as
well as not,

The First Sign Of Spring.

It's not the balmy breezes
Or little birds I've seen
It's not the little grasslets.
And leaves all turning green;

Which tell my frozen body,
That it is really spring;
The sign that's all unfailing
And bids my doubling stop

j. S. YARDS FAIL In
FABRICATED SHIPS
Senate Committee is Told
Four Vessels Have Been
Delivered
ONE PLANT Is
l23 SHIPS BEHIND

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Only four
ships have been delivered by the three
great Government fabricated shipbulld-
ing plants, Charles Piez, director-gen-
eral OF the Emergency Fleet Corpor-
alton, said yesterday in testifying be-
fore the Senate Commerce Committee.
Difficulties in constructing the yards
and in obtaining material were largely
responsible for the delays, the witness
said.
Three Of the ships have come from
the Hog Island yard, Mr.. Piez testined,
and the fourth from the Submarine
Boat Corporation plant at Port Newark.
" j., which should have delivered i24
vessels by December Z. The Merchants
Shipbuilding Corporation at Bristol,
Pa, has not yet delivered a ship, he
said, although under contract twenty
four should have been completed by
December z. The Hog Island yard de-
livered its third ship yesterday and has
launched twelve others, the committee
was told.
Before resuming its inquiry, the
committee adopted a resolution by Sem
ator Nelson. OF Mimi
its investigation to include a survey
Of the progress Of all Government
merchant shipbuildng.
Questioned about the Hog Island yard,
Mr.. Piez told the committee that be-
cause Of the change in the management
OF the American International Ship
building Corporation, contractors on
the Hos Island project, the Fleet Cor
poration had decided it would be un-
wise for the Government TO take over
management Of the yard at this time.
Under the new arrangement Matt
Brush, formerly a vice-president Of the
American International Corporation.
heads the American International
Shipbulldlng Corporation, and other
changes in the executive officers have
been made. Mr.. Piez said he believed
the Government eventually should ex-
ercise its option on the Hog Island site
and take over management Of the plant
The Hos Island yard, the witness de-
clared, has been the Mecca for repre-
sentatives Of all nations visiting the
United states and generally they have
expressed admiration for it. He said the
plant eventually would become a bis
producer.
Il feel most assured that it is a great
asset to have the Hog Island yard in
reserve, just as it is a great asset to
have a large army in reserve, said Mr..
Piez. 1t has been a great moral factor
m our successful prosecution Of the
war"
