had broken loose in Rock Island

sure enough mob there stretching
in a line from the Illinois half way
down the block on the sidewalk.
From such a rush for seat reserva-
ton it looks as though the play
would be q financial success.
Business Manager Wilfred Elite
man this morning ANNOUNCED that
the house was practically filled for
Friday night and that few seats
could still be had here and there
for the initial performance Thurs
day. There is still quite a few 50
cent seats in the balcony for both
nights. however.
Everything is ready for the rising
OF the curtain tomorrow evening
All OF the properties are in the
place and a dress rehearsal is
scheduled for Friday morning at 8
o'clock. Practices have been held

MASTER BAKERS
MAKE II CENTS
MAXIMUM PRICE


A uniform price Of II cents for a
20 ounce loaf Of brsad was estab-
lished by master bakers Of the tri-
cities at q meeting held Tuesday
afternoon, William H. korn of the
II. Korn Baking company has an
nounced. also forecasting that an
other raise will be necessary in 30
days.
The 26H ounce loaf at 20 cents
and the Is ounce loaf at Is cents,
proposed prices, gave way to the
regulation size loaves, the largest
to sell at II cents and the smaller
loaf at Is cents. Former prices
were Is and 10 cents, respectively.
Rye and graham bread will sell
at 13 cents for an Is ounce loaf
instead OF the former pound loaf at
10 cents.
Rolls and pastries will advance
In price proportionately.
Another Raise Coming.
Mr.. Korn said that the bakers
have about 30-day supply of -four
and other supplies on hand, which
will allow them to sell bread at a
maximum of II cents loaf for the
next month, after which another
raise in price will be necessary Ia
cover the cost of higher market
prices of flour and sugar. Another
item that the bakers say is in part
responsible for the forecasted in
crease in bread prices is the in
creased cost of coke.
Mr.. Korn declared that six
months ago -four could be pur.
chased at $40 a barrel while the
price today is $15.25 per barrel il
carload lots. Sugar six months age
was selling for - cents per pound
The bakers say they are lucky now
to get sugar at 80 cents pei
pound. Condensed milk containing
eight per cent fat formerly sold al

chased in the market today and the
best bakers can buy is SKINNED
milk which sells for II cents.

munity in which the number of work
ingmen who carry union cards and an
honorable discharge from the army
was not so numerous as In Kern
county. 1t would surprise him to know
that at least half of the men who went
into the service from Kern county are
or have been members of labor union.
The resolution follows:
Whereas, The American Legion is
an organization composed of men and
women who gave their services to the
government of the United States or
one of the~allied powers during the
great war; and
whereas, The American Legion is
organized for the purpose Of promoting
the interests of those who gave their
services to the country in that great
crisis; and
whereas, The interests of the great
majority Of the members of the Amer
lean Legion are known to be Identical
with the aims and aspirations Of or
ganized labor; therefore be 1t
Resolved, BY the Kern County La
Dor Council in regular session assem-
bled, this 23rd day Of December, 1919,
that we indorse the American Legion
and recommend that all members Of
local unions affiliated with this body
eligible for membership In the Ameri-
can Legion take their rightful places
as members Of that organization"
