Editor Journal.-lt has often
been said that figures do not lie.
However, some strange results can
be obtained by manipulating them.
In your issue of the 7th inst, is
purported statement from maS-
ter baker Of this city to the effect
that only two hundred and seventy
(270) loaves OF bread can be
manufactured out Of a barrel oil
flour, and that In order for the
bakers to be able to reduce the
price OF bread In Salem one cent,
there would have to be a drop of
S2.70 per barrel In the price Of
flour. on March %, the price of
bakers eastern hard wheat flour
was $7.S5 rer barrel. and the price
Of bakers bluestem was S7,S5 per
barrel. On April LIST, the quotation
was the same. On April 9TH, the
price Of eastern hard wheat flour
was SIS per barrel and bakers
bluestem $3.50 per barrel. These
prices are Portland quotations TAX
en- from the Daily oregonian
Hence. at SO per barrel, the flour
in a one pound loaf OF bread costs
a trifie under cents per loaf,
The present price OF a pound
loaf in Salem is 10 cents. IL the
price OF flour has to drop S2.70
per barrel in order to bring down
the price Of bread one cent per loaf
In order to have i.ye cent bread In
Salem the price OF flour would
have TO drop five times S2.70 or
$3.50 per barrel In other words.
IN order 20 have a five-cent loaf OF
bread In Salem, someone must
make the bakers a present OF the
flour and lay them bonus Of
$3.50 per barrel for making il.
willingly confess that l am no
solomon. The problem is too won
derful for me hope someone can
take the matter up where I have
left off and figure out how we
can get reasonably priced bread IN
Salem. as II appears that the bak-
crs will need free flour and a
bonus OF 10 cents per barrel to
produce even seven cent bread In
Salem. b. W. MACY.

An instant later she was gone.
Miss Marston has gone, professor"
said the elderly housekeeper when he
descended from his observatory later
that evening.
"Gone!" calculated the professor In
surprise.
"Gone home to Baltimore by the
night train," she answered, looking AT
him significantly.
But the work OF mapping out the
new craters proved unexpectedly dull.

employee was utterly incompetent and
quickly vanished. The professor be-

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

II am sorry, Miss Marston, that you
have decided to sever your connec-
don with the observatory" said Pro-
fessor Blythe, rather sternly. But at
your age l can understand that the
isolation Of life in these parts is not
wholly cOngenial. In fact, If l may
be permitted to say so, have often
wondered that you could endure year
in such a town as Emerald. You wish
to get back to the world of men-er-
l beg your pardon, Miss Marston, I
didn't mean IL in that sense"
Despite his five and forty years the
professor fairly quailed before the
young woman at the recollection Of
his faux pas.

age one naturally desires congenial

the young woman. almost as embar-

"And tonight" said the professor
reluctantly, must be our last view
Of the heavens together, then. The
legend that locates paradise in the
celestial regions is a singularly for
tunate one. One loses, in cOntem-
plating the heavens, the sense of the
pettiness of earth. I can imagine no
greater felicity than watching the
stars with a congenial companion"
Then he broke off abruptly, for
the second time he had been about

They were seated together in the
observatory y few hours later. The
moon was IN and the clear atmos-
phere made observation extremely
easy.
II don't know how ever I shall COM

say that for a woman you have an
extremely scientific mind. Most young
women, looking at the moon, are,

lNHERITs CORK LEG OF cHUM
Poor California Man Now Uses Limb
That Carried More Fortunate
Friend.

San Francisco.-"When l am dead
and gone you shall have my leg to
walk on, jim"
This is what Henry Marsh once said
TO his old friend, James w. Phelps.
And 1t has come to pass, for Phelps
called at the coroner's office recently
on crutches, but walked away without
them
Years ago Marsh and Phelps became
friends. Their intimacy grew out or
the fact that each had met with an
accident which deprived him Of the left
leg.
Marsh was successful and was able
to buy an expensive artificial leg to
get about on. But Phelps, always poor,
was compelled to hObble about on
clutches.
Occasionally Phelps would call on
Marsh at the latter's home on Sunday
morning. Quite often he would Dor
row Marsh's artificial leg and 20 for
a walk. Meanwhile Marsh would sit
at home reading until Phelps returned.
Those were days Of delight for
Phelps. SO It was one Sunday thai
Marsh promised him his artificial leg
on his dea.h.
Marsh shot and killed himself July
IT at his cigar stand. II was a plain
case for the coroner and the public adj
mnistrator.
Phelps claim to the artificial leg OF
his dead friend was established to the
satisfaction Of the authorities, and
now he has disposed of his crutches.
