INCREASE IN BREAD PRICES
One Topeka Baking Company Hikes
Price Two Cents Per Loaf.

An increase in the price OF bread
was announced today by the Campbell
Baking company. The increase in
price was from eight to ten cents for
twenty-four ounce loaves and from
five to seven cents for pound loaves.
The company does not attempt to Tx
the retail price of bread. A retail
price of twelve cents for twenty-four
ounce loaves and nine cents for pound
loaves appears to be popular with the
retail grocers of Topeka.
The Royal, Barker. O'Hara and
White Swan bakeries announced that
they had made no increase in price.
G. L. Jordan, local manager Of the
I Campbell Baking company, made the
statement today:
Bread at the new price which the
Campbell Baking company adopts to-
fday, is still much lower than the fig
ure bread sold at previous to Febru-
ary 1.
1.-Two months ago we made start
ling reduction in the price Of Merit
Bread because of exceedingly favor
able purchases of flour and other ma
terials. Since that time flour has
taken a considerable advance. Short
ening, sugar and other items used in
bread making also have taken an up
ward turn. General expenses of doing
business have not declined.
Therefore, in line with the Camp
bell policy of keeping faith with the
public, our customers and ourselves.
IN lne matter OF QudllLy anu price OF
our product, we find it necessary to
make a readjustment of our prices
to fit changing conditions.
1T goes without saying that our
first thought is to maintain quality
and to make as low a price as Is con-
sistent. When conditions are favor
able to price reductions. we are al
ways ready to make them"
There must be an increase in the
price of bread in the near future"
said L. s. Hall, Of the Barker Baking
company, today. AT present the
price will remain the same"

MUSIC IN SCHOOLS
(Bv Prof, H. w. Stopher)

For several years there has been
some rather constant agitation by
people looking toward the
introduction of music into the schools
as regular subject of study. AT a
business meeting of the Baton Rouge
Civic Association on November 10
this club went on record as favorlng
this project and pledges to DO all IN
it's power toward accomplishing this
purpose. This movement is quite IN
line with the thought Of the recent
convention of the State Federat ed
Clubs held in New Orleans where a
resolution was adopted looking to-
ward the same end.
The necessities Of life come in TINS
order of Importance. First, food, thel
clothing, then shelter. If there IS an
other necessity, it is music. AS tn
body needs food to generate physlca
energy, SO the mind needs music TO
rest, recreation, and for inspiration.
Hon. p. P. ClaXtOn says, "Musl
should appear in the curriculum mex
after reading, writing and arithme
tic.' Our own State Superintendent
T. H. Harris agrees with him in th'
matter.
We sometimes hear the plea TO
practical subjects, meaning such sur
iects as mathematics, sciences, an
history. In spite of this, almost n
body has any practical daily use fe

sessment of the parish or the dis
+ric+s concerned. In other words, If
# were the desire Of the parish school
hoard to make provision for, say, ten
kindergarten departments in as many
schools of Shreveport, but such action
could not be taken for the reason that
the school funds are inadequate, the
school board should have authority TO
oreate ten separate districts in the
c;tv Of Shreveport, and call a special
o,ac+;on in each district for such ad-
ditional funds as might be required up
to eight mills on the assessment.
A report Of this division would not
be complete without mention OF the
wonderful encouragement and lnsplr-
alton received from Miss BESSIE
Locke, Corresponding Secretary OF
the National kindergarten Assocl"-
t;on New York. 1t was largely due
- her influence and the quantities OF
,+orature she sent for distribution
that the campaign was so success1ol
for we do feel that it was success
full. in spite of the fact that the
Kindergarten bill failed to pass, for an
; interest has been created IN Klnder'
partens, which will eventually lead t'
their establishment throughout thf
state.
In conclusion, your chairman rec
ommends that in communities where
? there is at least one kindergarten al
> ready established, that the co-opera
t tion of the kindergarten teachers b.
: secured. and a public demonstration

THE KNIFE RACK

I have never seen a knife rack so
convenient as the one my mother orig
mated for her own kitchen and which
myhusband has made for me in each
several house we have occupied.
wonder that kitchen cabinets do not
attach some such contrivance. We
have put two Of them on each end OF
ours and could not think Of living
happily ever afterward without them.
Think how much trouble it is to
open a drawer to find certain knife
or fork or spoon. You see everything
lin that drawer except the article in
demand. In fact that drawer is "a
place for everything" and apparently
everything is in it, exactly as the old
adage says it should be. You take
|out all the contents and perhaps last
of all find what you were after, or
perhaps it was right there on top, but
the confusion Of so many utensils
|jumbled together dazed you and you
lcouldn't see it, though it was right
before your nose. Now, you are con-
vinced of the advantage Of the knife
rack and want to learn how to make
one.
+, Here are the specifications: Take
two narrow strips Of wood the length
you want your knife rack to be. In
'sert small chip between them, at
each end and screw the whole business
to the wall, or kitchen cabinet. A
knife blade, or fork prong, or spoon
handle will slip down into the crevlce
between the strips, which are held
apart by the chip at each end, and
each tool will stand up in its place IN
the row as nicely as can be.
It took me long time to wake up
ito farther advantage: to have q
particular location in the row fo1
leach article, 50 that I wouldn't have
Ito look the whole row over for thf
desired one. Now each spoon, ant
each fork, and the bread knife 'a'1t
the pairing knife, have their own prl
vate quarters and I could lay my han'
on any one of them in the dark.

Kindergarten Department
Mrs. S. P. Weaver, Chairman

at the May session of the LeglsLa-
ture. In this we had the endorse
ment of the Rotary, Lions and H.
wants Clubs of Shreveport, and
through the efforts Of Mrs. Savage OF
Jennings, the Jennings Rotary Cluo
endorsed the movement. At the
public hearing before the Education
Committee, the committee room was
filled to overfowing with supporters
of the bill from various parts OF the
state. Representative Douglas, VINO
introduced the bill, and worked en-
Enthusiastically for it, succeeded IN
getting favorable report from the
education committee. This was very
encouraging, and all were most op-
timistic about it's final passage. How
ever. in spite of our good work and
the endorsement of the public and the
press, the bill was defeated. This IS
the more to be deplored, when we
consider that this is the only period
in a child's school life devoted ex-
clusively to the development of the
higher qualities that make for noble
manhood and womanhood. Roger W
Babson says: "The great need at
the present time is not for more rail-
; roads nor for more steamships MOI
factories or more cities, but for more
. character. To develop the character
we must start in the home, school anc
!: church when the children are young.

the clubs, especially the Parent
Teacher Associations, create a dc
mand for kindergartens by gettint

Woman's enterprise., 1922-11-24

The chief work of this division has
oeen to put on an educational cam
palgn to arouse interest in kindergar-
ten training. During this campaign,
which lasted about four months
from February to June-most en-
thusiastic and encouraging help was
received from clubs throughout the
state. Many of them appointed a
kindergarten Committee, and to the
chairmen of these committees, litera-
ture was sent for distribution, sug-
gestions given for arousing public
interest, lantern slides were mailed
for use at local moving picture the
atres, etc. In addition to press no
tices of the progress of the work, sent
regularly to 125 newspapers through
out the state, mimeographed copies Of
important kilograms from such peo-
pie as Judge Ben Lindsey, Supt Will
c. Wood of California, etc., endors-
ing the kindergarten, were sent to
the clubs and to the members Of the
Legislature at the time the Kinder
garten bill was pending. A type
writer was secured and with the help
Of a public stenographer, more than
1900 letters were written.
In February, the cooperation OF
the local public and private kinder
.garten teachers was secured for
demonstrations were given in the ball
room of the Youree Hotel. All OF
these clubs were enthusiastic in theil
endorsement of the work, and each
sppointed a committee of five men tc
work with your chairman in further
ing the kindergarten cause. These
fifteen men helped in every way pos
sible in the campaign to pass stat'
Kidergarten Bill. It was interesting
to see the enthusiasm the kindergar
ten demonstrations aroused when tn
children appeared before these clubs
At the Lions Club, especially, tn
men were so interested they almos
neglected their luncheon, and some o
them left the tables entirely to stan'
and watch the children as they too
part in the songs, games an
.thythms. When their little pipin
voices rose in my Country 'Tis Q
