the miller a handsome profit on his in
vestment Of storehouses and grinding ma
chimes.
A grain of wheat is roughly divided
into three useful parts. The central por-
tion of starchy cells from which the white
-four is made and enclosing this Is q
narrow series Of cells composed large
ly Of gluten covered by the husk. Many
millers sell the gluten-celled portion Of
the wheat, which Is also called "mid-
dlings" and Shorts" for cattle feed. The
middlings are sometimes mixed with a
quantity Of the outer husks and are sold
for bran. The outside portion of the
wheat or the husk is considered of little
value as food product for humans, be-
cause 1t cannot be digested, but It Is Of
immense value when mixed with mid
dlings as a cattle food, as II greatly in
creases the. yield Of milk In cows.
But II is q common practise among
many millers to buy wheat directly from
the farmer, transport It, grade It, grind
it, and through a jobber place 1t on the
market for consumption through the small
baker or housewife. And when he does
all this his share in the product Of the loaf
of bread comes to exactly one cent.
The manufacturer or baker comes next,
and he is not satisfied with less than four
and one-half cents in the price Of the
bread, while the retailer is glad to drop
into his cash box the remaining one and
onc-half cents left of little Susie's ten
pennies.
The S90,O00,O 900 wheat crop is fairly
indicative of the price man Is willing to
pay for his daily bread. II represents
money more gladly given, perhaps, than
for any other single article Of food.
For something like Ave thousand years
wheat has satisfied the hunger Of man
kind. In the .tombs of men who sowed
and reaped, loved and hated in ancient
Egypt grains have been found, and down
through all history from the dim ages to
the present time the raising Of wheat has
been one Of the chief marks Of peoples
civilization. In fact, In olden times stores
Of wheat made II possible for people to
give up their nomadic life In search of
food and to settle down and found cities
and the beginnings of civilization.

yvTHERE does the money 60. that you

When little Susie runs to the
corner store and exchanges her ten cents
for loaf Of bread, 10 per cent of the
loaf the storekeeper hands over Is moth
ing but air, so chemists who analyZe
food products tell US. The remaining 80
per cent is the actual food substance for
which she pays her money, that eventually
goes into the pockets of the farmer, the
miller, the transporter, manufacturer and
retailer.
Now, how are these ten pennies divid-
ed? Who gets them? This problem has
ever puzzled US.
But it is a mystery no longer. A gov
study Of "the epic of wheat" from the
grower to the consumer, and got hold of
exact facts which are very interesting.
The farmer who grows the wheat gets
less than three cents for his share Of the
completed loaf-two and eight-tenths
cents to be exact. And this apparently
small figure goes to pay for the planting,
labor costs and garnering the wheat. Just
now his share comes In very handy when
the hum of harvesting machinery is
spreading over the Ohio and Missouri VAL
leys and gradually resounding into the
great Northwest.
The Winter-sown crop has already been
gathered into the granaries, and the
Spring wheat of the immensely produc-
tive Northern States is beginning to fall
under the marching knives of the har-
vester and will continue until the last
sheaf has been CLEANED from the fields of
Manitoba the latter part of August. This
great forest of grain, when harvested,
will leave a road of stubble of approx
mately 57,000,000 acres in the United
States alone.
The latest statistics indicate yield of
7S7,000,000 bushels in the United States,
which will return to the farmers nearly
S90,000,000.
Transportation cost in q loaf of bread
is about seven-tenths of a cent, and the
miller gets no more than three-tenths Of
a cent-probsbly less. But he makes up
his profits in way that does not enter
directly into the cost of the bread we eat.
The by-products remaining after the
wheat has been ground into four yield

left over to Gerry on repairs for many
months.

duced In New York City alone would 60
around the world at the equator more
than five times. And the years output
for New York City alone would easily
make an immense sandwich large enough
to enclose the Woolworth Building.
On the less than three cents the farmer
receives for his share of the selling price
of the loaf Of bread he must pay for his
planting, harvesting and transportation
to the small receiving elevators. From
these small elevators the farmers wheat
is conveyed by railroads and sometimes by
ships into the great central storage ele-
vators at Duluth, Minneapolis and Chi
cago. Here the grain is graded and.
ground before II is sold to the miller to
be converted into -four for the manu-
featuring baker.
All this Is done at cost Of about a penny
to the consumer and compares quite favor
ably with the cost Of one and one-fifth
cents which the manufacturer considers
as fair charge for making the bread.
Then comes the largest expense Of all
that Of delivering bread to the retailer
and from the retailer 10 the consumer.
Figures show that about Ave cents out Of
every ten paid by the consumer for bread
Is absorbed in the cost of distribution.

mineral material. The crumb contains just
about twice as much water as the crust
and is proportionately less nutritious.
In 1746 there was famine of cereals
in this country. Wheat in New England
brought twenty shillings a bushel, and
pound loaf of bread cost twelve cents
the equivalent of four times that price to-
day. In this emergency a Boston baker
named Nathaniel Thwing got permission
from the Selectmen of the town to make
bread of a mixture of cornmeal, rye and
molasses, with sour milk and soda. II
was the first "brown bread" and an
eight-pound loaf sold for eight cents
Nowadays the housewife is obliged to pay
twice that much for a one-pound loaf of
brown bread, and millions Of loaves of it
are put up annually in Boston for con-
sumption all over the United States.
Of the money expended in these days
by the consumer for food products of all
kinds, 25 to 75 per cent goes to pay for
transportation and handling after they
leave the hands of the producer. On an
average, half of the total cost of distri-
button goes to the retailer. Efforts to
lower this heavy tax upon the consumer
have brought into existence the different
kinds of money-saving stores that do not
get the long price provided the customer
helps himself and carries the goods home
What is needed throughout all the proc
esses of distribution is simplifcation.
"The cost of distribution" says the Gov
ernment commission, "is made up of an
endless number and variety of costs of
material and service, each Of which in
fuences the others, and all Of which COM
bine to make the price which the ultimate
consumer pays"
Each of them is part Of complex and
flexible price structure which is extremely
sensitive to fundamental economic and
psychologist forces, such as taxes, interest
rates, freight rates, custom, habit, usage
and practices of producers, consumers,
manufacturers and distributive agencies.

Any housewife can be a baker IL she
chooses. She is not obliged to get her
bread from the factory. But, under mod
ern living conditions, she finds it con-
venient to do so usually; and the value of
her time has to be taken into considera-
ton. On the whole, as q rule, she would
much rather pay the baker his price.
A dollar that she expends for bread is
divided up as follows:

The farmer gets for his corn twenty-one

Pilot at Cape
Verde Isles Tells Expert
ences of First Two Laps OF
Journey

PORTO PRAI, SANTIAGO, Cape
Verde Isles, April S.-The thrilling
story of their long flight through
clouds and fog at over ninety miles
an hour, which they hope to con-
tinue until they have crossed the At
lantic and land in Brazil, was told
for the first time by the Portuguese
filters in an interview with the United
Press.
Captain Coutinho, an aged, wealth
er-beaten pilot, with long experience
both at sea and in the air, was
reticent to talk Of the flights which
have brought them to St. Vincent,
in this little island group, from far'
off Portugal.
"Wait until we have completed our
flight" was the attitude both he and
Captain Sacadura took toward inter-
views.
Real Test Ahead
Nevertheless in the little cabin of
the cruiser "Republic," which
brought them here from st. Vincent
to inspect this port as possible
starting place for the third and most
perilous leg of their journey-the

distance of our long flight we were
buffeted by this gale. Then the
wind fell, shifted to the northwest
and was lighter for the rest of the
journey.

FIERCE COSSACK IS
ABASHED IN \. !.

NEW YORK, April Shy the AS
ISOLATED Press.)-General Gregory
Semenoff, Ataman Of Cossacks, to-
day seemed to find legal warfare in
the canyons of lower Broadway as
exciting as the rattle of machine
guns on the steppes of Siberia.
Thanked by his American lawyer
and band Of Russian supporters,
he was whisked up in an elevator to
the twenty-second floor of the Equi-
table building, and there, for the Sec
ond day, was bombarded with ques-
tions at a bankruptcy hearing which
followed his civil arrest in connec-
ton with a judgment for $478,578 al
legged to have been returned against
him by Hardin courts. The plaintiff
in the action was the Youroveta
Home and Foreign Trading company,
which asserted that the sum repre-
scented supplies alleged to have been
stolen by the general at Chita.
The general has been painted by
his enemies as a man of fierce ma
ture, who waded through the blood
Of his victims, but he seemed just a
little abashed up there in a New
York skyscraper with lawyers and
reporters battling away at him in a
language he did not understand.
Indeed, he was far from an intimt-
dating figure, as he looked inquir-
ingly from one questioner to another.
but every now and then he exploded
with an expression that Interpreters
said meant "liar" after a question
had been put to him in Russian.
1t was doubtful whether the gen.
eral himself CLEANED the full signifi-
canoe of the charge hurled at him
by Senator Borah in Washington and
Colonel Edwin P. Morrow in Frank
fort, KY, to the effect that he had
proved himself in Siberia a "butch-
erer" of Americans and 'the greatest
monster of modern times"
When newspaper men approached
him at the close of the hearing with
dispatches from Washington stating
that Mr.. Borah was seeking his de-
portation they were met by some of

Government Wins
Torpedo Patent Suit
Involving Billions

WASHINGTON, April 8.-Judg-
ment in favor of the government has
been rendered by the court of claims
in an action brought by the Electric
Boat company upon a claim involv-
ing, it is estimated, several billion
dollars.
The company contended that I'M
der a contract with the government
it was entitled to receive $500 on
each torpedo in which device con-
.trolled by the company was used.
This device, it was contended, result
ed in increasing the range of auto
mobile torpedoes to 10000 yards.
thereby making torpedoes effective
against modern long range naval
guns. The device was used on thou
sands of torpedoes, of torpedoes en-
ployed by the navy during the war
and is still used.
