The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1921-07-25

Should any of our farmers happen
to meet-up with Bum the Baker OF
Baraboo," in quest of farm, kindly
advise him that he is on the wrong
track. There is more money IN
15-cent loaf of bread than profit on
Is bushels of wheat, at present prices.
The baker who hasn't been making
more money on every pan of buns
baked in the past II months than the
average Indiana wheat grower mas
made on his wheat crop this year, is
surely out of luck.
Mr.. Bum recently quit the bakery
business and by jinks the old Bum
stand, was grabbed by shoe repair
outfit. When done visiting Indiana
farm friends Mr.. Bum should head
his Packard north, eject the shoe
fixers and repaint his signs.
Speaking of buns, when you can
take a bun costing say almost one
half of a cent, if you happen to bake
it yourself; and deftly split it through
| the center of gravity, whereat, by lay
| ing one fried egg between the slices
you can cash in Is cents, we'll say!
With eggs at 20 to 25 cents per doz-
en-, as recently, that transaction
shows a tidy profit Yes, yes, you are
right; we did overlook the pepper and
salt, the interest on the money in
vested in the egg, also the overhead.
But il said that bread ham and egg
! sandwiches have been selling at ~
/ and 25 cents in Chicago Loop res
taurants, for long time. During
high priced days the lucent bun ham
and cheaSe sanwich at Chicago could
actually be seen at a distance OF two
feet, if your eyes were normal, mostly
showing up like large speck on the
plate.
London Mans Opinion.
/ A London grain man who is touring
Canada is quoted by Winnipeg people
as saying: There is so little grain
in Great Britain and Europe that you
may say there are no stocks. The
great stores of wheat of which you
hear are noneXiStent."
Any British grain merchant who ]:
ont inspecting the grain fields o.
Canada should know what he is talk
ing about. If he has been correctly
quoted the situation he disclose:
should affect the price of American
wheat, after it gets into the hands o
: big holders and spectators. Taking
all circumstances into account, and IL
comparison with cost of most manu-
featured articles. wheat, corn and oat
are now the cheapest in the pas
/, twenty years.
Armour's Optimistic Review
In their trade review for the pas
week the Armour house shows it
optimism, as follows:
D THE stability of the recovery whicl
2 | is being made in the market for pacl
6 ing house food products is further en-
phasized this week. A significant fac
was the added strength which wa
given to export trade in spite of wha
9 outwardly appeared adverse exchang
4 | conditions. Hamburg entered the ma
ket for purchases for future deliver
in considerable quantity, and export
t to Great Britain and other points o
t. the continent continue to grow i
y volume.
/ Fresh pork trade was very satisfa'
tory The demand for all pork cut
I was strong and prices advanced.
/ Beef trade has been slow this wee
/ but stocks are being well cleaned VI
n Collections are good.
