Nickel Loaf Doomed
Say Atlanta Bakers

available at this time"
Mr. Martin said the shortage in
flour was due to the damage to the
wheat crop in Canada by black rust
and the lack of rain, and to the fact
that the western farmers have tight
ened their hold on their wheat bins
and are showing no disposition to
sell at prevailing prices.
Clarence Berman, general manag-
er of the Schlesinger-Meyer Baking
company, said that with the rising
price of flour, it is impossible for
the bakers of Atlanta to mako a
five-cent loaf of bread without sus-
tanning a loss on each loaf.
THE price of flour, lard and all
other commodities which enter into
making of bread have practically re-
turned to wartime prices" said
Mr.. Berman, ''and the bakers of At
lanta cannot continue to make and
sell loaf of bread for 5 cents
without sustaining a loss. Just as
soon as the flour we purchased at
last years prices is exhausted We
will be compelled to cease baking a
5 cent loaf. This will probably be
about August l."
Mr.. Berman's view Of the situa-
ton was shared by a number of of
ficials Of other leading bakeries.
The bakers said Atlanta was
about the only city in the United
States where the 5 cent loaf stin
was being made and sold, as practi-
cally all other baking concerns IN
other cities had raised their prices
some time ago.

Rising Flour and Other Com
modities Causing Makers to
Boost Prices Everywhere

ATLANTA, Aug. 1.-Five-cent
loayes Of bread viii make their exit
about August /, according to Off
Scials Of several leading Atlanta
bakeries.
Rising prices of flour and all 9th
er commodities which enter into the
baking of bread are assigned as the
reason for the abolition Of the five
cent loaf by the bakers.
1t was stated that just as soon as
the flour purchased at last years
low prices is exhausted the price
of bread will be advanced. This,
the bakers declared, would be about
August l.
Theo w. Martin, well-known At
lanta flour broker, also announced
shat not only is flour selling at
$2.65 barrel higher than last year
but that it is exceedingly difficult
to get. He said during TIE last
week he had wired number of
mills seeking to buy flour and that
the mills were unanimous in wiring
no wheat moving and no flour

and important as the proper eduea-
ton of the children in this mile a
minute era. If the people of Amer
icus will rally around this noble
institution and bid God speed to
this grandest movement the matter
will be put over. Why are our
people so much concerned about toe
lesser things of ifl and so neglect
full Of the weightier matters that
concerns our well being and civil
ization as a people.
A letter today from our state
senator shows the matter is pro-
crossing. I insert it here:

bill granting authority To District

THE establishment OF a great
vocationa and normal college in
Americas is worth thousand times
more than it will cost. Our children
may then be trained at home in
those pursuits that will help them
most when they become men and
women. It Will be practical, use

constant supply of pupils from all

Victory Club Idea
Brings in Real Coin

100000 raised in recent months
has come in SIS checks. Which,
Hull and Shaver submit, proves
the Democratic campaign is being
democratically financed!
Although all bills are paid, for
the first time in the party's lis
tory at this stage Of a campaign,
lot Of new cash viii be needed to
carry the fight to victory on
Nov. 4.
Opportunity will be given every
good Democrat, who can raise So,
to become a member OF Victory
Club.
1t is hoped to double or even
triple the number of clubs and Ia
multiply the membership SO that
round half million names will have
to be carted to the office of the sec.
rotary of the Senate for filing as
contributors to the Davis-BryaR
campaign.
AZ
Bert New, secretary Of the Dem-
ocratic national committee, already
has what is probably the most ex-
tensive political card index in hiss
tory.
More than 100000 names are on
his lists, covering dependable"
workers in every state, county,
ward and precinct, who may be
called upon to shoulder local du-
ties and responsibilities.
Economy" however, is to be
maintained as the Democratic watch
word. Being out of debt is not TO
justify any reckless spending.
AS an. example Of the economy,
or at least Of "skillful manage
ment' practiced by Hull as chair
man, it is pointed out that while
the San Francisco convention Of
1920, lasting seven days, cost the
party's national treasury $95,0O0,
the 14-day struggle at New York
was handled by Hull at q net cost
of but 100000.

LONDON, April 16.-Simultan-
eously with the announcement from

gotiations., Premier Macdonald in
formed the House Of Commons that
the British government was pre-
pared to support the scheme in its

take the same course. Great
Britain has thus taken the initia-
tive and is recorded as the first Of
the Allied powers to declare her
position in the matter of accept
ance of the plan.
Following Premier MacDonald's
announcement, former Premier
Stanley Baldwin, the opposition
leader, assured Mr.. Macdonald of
the country's whoIe-hearted sub

claimed. Observers commenting on
the governments decision declare
that Mr.. MacDonald's quick action
leads to a much greater hope that

they crowded about him to clasp
hands in congratulation while Sen
ator Reed, Republican, Pennsyl-

I've had no immediate part in

DAWSON MERCHANTS TO
ORGANIZE ASSOCIATION

DAWSON, April 16.-It is more
than probable that Dawson will
have a Retail Merchants Associa-
ton, modelled after those in larger
cities. The purpose of organizing
an association of this kind would
be to protect the merchants from
bad accounts, and thus enable them
to sell their goods cheaper.
Should a person desire credit at
a store it would only be necessary
to consult the records of the asocia-
ton to learn how promptly his bills
were paid and the extent to which
it would be safe to permit him to
run an account.
All merchants who have had the
proposition put before them have
heartily endorsed it.
