Possibly there's reason, hut II there Ia the
bakers should state that reason clearly aud
convincingly. There was n time when We were
told that the pre-war 5-cent loaf would never
return Nobody OF any intelligence believed
that statement Nobody believes 1t now. There

should not now be enjoying the 5-cent loaf
That is. no reason other than the unwillingnes'

Possibly the scent loaf will not return until
