bread for cents when carried away
by the customer. With wheat at
$237 bushel the farmers will en-
joy a profit of 10 to IS per cent.
Bake Your Own Bread
& The bakery will be erected in the
stockyards district, where the bur-
den of high prices is sorely felt. Be-
sides selling bread for cents loaf
the housewives of Chicago will be
urged to do their own baking. Flour
. will be sold direct to the consumer.
If wheat is 1925 per bushel the
flour will be sold at 1920 per bar
rel, as the farmers have co-opera-
tive -four mills and sell direct to the
consumer.
Something novel in the way Of
advertising will be introduced.
. Across the top of the baking plant
will be In letters sufficiently large to
be seen for miles this advice:
Literature pointing out that home
baking can be done at a. cost of IL
cents week for each person will be
distributed over the entire city. The
cost for a family of five. for year
will be $3.50, or 1914 each.
To Force Prices Down.
The point is,'' said Congressman
John NJ. Baer Of North Dakota, who
announced the intention of the farm
> ers, that by competition from the
Farmers Cooperative society local
prices will be forced down. The
same will apply to meats, as has
been done already in st. Paul, where
sirloin steak was sold July % for
from 10 to 20 cents less a pound
than in the eastern cities.
1T is intended to show by the
Chicago plant the great waste and
ineffciency in the baking business.
Taking off the price Of wheat will
not reduce the cost of living. It is
not the only remedy needed. But if
the farmers and consumers can be
brought together a practical method
Of reducing living costs will be
found"
Congressman Huddleston has pre-
scented bill which he believes will
solve the problem. 1t declares that
by reason of the recent state of war
it is essential for the national secur-
ity and defense and for the restara-
ton of peace and order to insure
the equitable distribution Of the
necessaries of life and to prevent
scarcity, monopoliza tons, etc., in the
distribution thereof.
Plan for Price Fixing.
A war trade commission is pro-
vided for to be appointed by the
President without confirmation by
the senate. This commission shall
~Aiave authority to fix the maximum
sale, use and service prices for nee
essaries; to adopt regulations for the
distribution, transportation, sale,
handling and storage Of same; and
to license dealers, agents and hand
1ers thereof"
These are deemed necessaries with
in the act: All articles or commo3'
ties manufactured, produced or sold
used as food. clothing, foodstuffs,
medicines, furniture and furnishings,
building material and supplies, tools,
iron, steel, coal, coke, copper and
the materials used in producing said
articles and commodities. gas, cleo

Violation of the provisions of the
act shall be punished by fine of
$4,000 or not more than five years
