I've got the finest bunch of customers ln the city. At least think so, and have lot of respect for their opinion on the food sell them from my store.
 One day customer came into my store and, as usual, asked for a loaf of Bond Bread. Why do you always ask for Bond?" said.
 Well" she answered, If you really want to know I'll show you" She pointed to the wrapper on the loaf, and said:
 There's guarantee of purity know can depend on.
 And the texture of Bond is firm. It's close-knit. That means that it will retain its freshness. Taste some. It tastes better than other bread And the reason is that Bond has the very best ingredients in it money can buy"
 A lot of my other customers are just like this one. They know the food they buy. Bond outsells other bread in my store to 1. To my way of thinking that's mighty fine recommendation for Bond.

Regulation of Buses
By States to Be Decided

RICHMOND. Va, Jan. PA
test of the rights of the States in
regulating interstate motor bus
travel may arise in the case OF the
Greyhound Lines, which is seeking
authority from the State corporation
commission to operate between
Washington and South Hill. Va, as
part of its plan for Inauguration
of all-motor bus passenger service
between New York and Jacksonville.
Fla, The commission set the case
for hearing on January 81.
Acting under a. decision Of the
United States Supreme Court. the
State corporation commission has
held on several occasions that it
has no authority in the issuance of
certificates to interstate operators
Of wholly interstate service. It has
ruled, however, that the decision did
not deprive the State of any of its
police powers and that the com
mission had the right to regulate
schedules. tariffs. and conditions of
travel
The Washington times., 1929-01-12

A campaign for passage of the
Fem reapportionment bill, which
would give fast-growing States more
Representatives at the expense of
States standing still or losing in
population, was opened in the Senate
today, following a smashing victory
won by hackers of the measure in
the House.
Senator Arthur Vandenberg R.) Of
Michigan, which State probably
would gain four members of the
House under a new apportionment,
announced that he would immedi-
ately begin a fight f. quick action
in the Senate.
The Fem bill. passed by the House
without a record vote after a motion
to recommit was defeated. 226 to
1874, provides that the reapportion-
ment would be made automatic by
requiring the Secretary of Commerce
to fix the number of Representatives
for each State and directing the clerk
Of the House to notify the States.
28 States Affected
The bill contains a protest against
the practice of the House in enlarg-
ing its membership in past reappor-
tionments to prevent States from
losing members, by providing that
the membership shall be retained
at 435.
Twenty.eight States proba IDLY would
- l. Loo h0r oH a
House, under present estimates of
the 1880 census.
Other far-l aching results, accord
ing to those in chGrge OF the bill, are
that any reapportionment is certain
to give more Representatives to the
big cities of the nation and at the
same time decrease the power Of
agriculture States in Congress. =,
The Republicans. it has been
estimated, may gain six to eight
votes in the presidential electoral
college. since electors are based on
the total number of congressman
and senators for each state, and
normally Republican states would
gain members under the bill.
Another feature. which has never
reached discussion on the floor, Is
the claim of ''wetS" that their
cause would gain by the resultant
increase of city members in the
House.
Party lines were broken in the
furious two-day fight waged in
the House. The chief opposition
came from the Middle West and
South, where the greatest losses
would occur.
Many congressman. however,
voted for the measure despite prob
able losses to their own state on
the ground that they were obeying
a constitutional mandate.

VOTE ON TREATY
DELAYED IN
SENATE

With the Kellogg BRAND peace
treaty ready to be ratified, Admin
istration leaders in the Senate to-
day turned their attention to the
rapidly growing calendar of legis-
lative business I'm the hope Of
clearing it in time to avoid a
special session directly after
March T.
The Senate's calendar includes
the new cruiser bill, the Admins.
tration's farm relief bill, the first
deficiency appropriation bill, with
its $4,000 200 increase in prohibit,
ton enforcement funds and q
s75.000,O0O items for tax refunds,

tee which investigated forged Next.
can and Russian documents. the
Caraway cotton and grain future
act. the House reapportionment bill
and a dozen less important meas
ures. There are but seven weeks
OF sessions before adjournment.
The hopes OF Administra ton
leaders for a vote today on the Kel-
logg pact appeared doomed in the
face of the desire of Senators to pro-
long debate. There were indications.
though that an agreement might be
reached to vote Monday, although
that day has been set aside for action
on the deficiency bill and on the re-
port of the forged document COM
mittee, so a vote on the treaty may
be postponed until Tuesday.
Cruiser Bill Waits
The new cruiser bill meanwhile
gathered cobwebs in a pigeon hole.
Although it has been the Senate $
unfinished business" technically
for two weeks. it has been under de-
bate but once. and that before the
Christmas recess. Its chances for
enactment are jeopardized J each
days delay in it's consideration, as
the opposition is thoroughly or
ganized by now and may be able TO
defeat 1t through filihuster.
The Administration hopes for
farm-relief legislation at the present
session appeared even more futile.
one group OF Western Senators,
friendly to Herbert Hoover and be.
lievlng in his relief program, have
declared they win oppose all Cool
idge proposals, unless the President
elect gives them his endorsement.
Special Session Held Certain
With Hoover remaining silent
and a heasy legislative proeram
ahead. experienced legislators fear
the Administration bill is doomed IN
a death nv insction and that Con.

The issues in the British elections hinge upon economic questions, and among these unemployment stands pre.eninent. This could scarcely be otherwise In a country where such . large proportion of the population lives upon the government dole. which is made necessary because Of the dislocation of business due to the aftermath Of the war An independ- ent observer has summarized the election campaign as follows:
 The Conservative party is asking that fl be returned to power on the basis Of it's record during the last four and a half years. which includes the new budget recently submitted to the House by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Winston'S.

The Liberal and Labor parties are asking that the Conservative party he turned out of power because of its failure to deal effectively with the problem of unemployment and be- cause Of itt naladministration Of the foreign affairs Of the nation.

HARD LUCK IN TIE MARKET

If it isn't one thing it is some thing else" is an old saw that might be applied to the stock market lately. It has been known for some time that there would be . period this spring when money in Wall street would be tighter than usual. partly due to the necessity of helping interior banks to finance spring agricultural needs. This was partly discounted. as usual. when along comes a break in the wheat price below 31 q bushel, this for the first time in IS years.
 This means bad times for wheat growing. With wheat at Sl it meant the growers received only so to s5 cents at their local elevators-a sum that is said to be below the average cost of production. We perk our ears to discover what William Allen White. editorializing in the center of the Kansas wheat belt. and who fought 90 valiantly for Hoover pros perity on the farms, has to say about the tornado of low prices that has hit his native state.

Unemployment has b>sa nsaas the leading Issue of the campaign by ths striking plan advanced by Lleyd George eight weeks ago. and by his pledge that the Liberal party. if re. turned to power. will reduce unem- ployment to normal proportions within the course of one year. with out a cent of cost to the taxpayerA The Liberal party is substantially re. united under the leadership of Lloyd George. who has q S5.ooo.oOo campaign fund at his disposal, and, the party's prospects are conceded to have been materially improved by the announcement of its unsm. ployment plan.
 The Labor party, conscious of the fact that it may be give the respon- sibility for administration of the government as a result of the cleo ton, has advanced no new projects of . sensational nature. Its program for dealing with unemployment. of which the Liberal plan Is in part ! duplication, has long been known to the voters. The government has con- tented itself with ridicultng the Lloyd George plan, and asserting that unemployment will yield in duo course to the remedies it l. applying the safeguarding" of essential ih- dustries through tariff protection. and the relief of other industries from three -fourths of the present burden of local taxation under its "ds-rating" plan.
 Tho government attributes most of the difficulties from which British industry and British labor have suf- fered to ''the immense industrial disaster of 1s:s"-the coal strike and the general strike. It contends that British industry and trade have now turned the corner" and that . steady advance will be made, if the voters give . new demonstration of their confidence in Conservative poli- cies at the forthcoming election.
 The Labor party. in its election manifesto of May 1. 1929. found it desirable to reiterate that it was neither Bolshevik nor Communist. !" It derided the Red bogey" of skull and crossbones. clankins chains and bloody dassers." And it pledged itself to carry its program (of moderate socialism) to completion by peace- ful means, without disorder or con- fusion, with the consent of the ma jority of the electors and by the use of the ordinary machinery of demo- cratic government"
