tempted then to hire a hall and lee
ture for a while. I'm tempted then
to send a screed to divers public

may read the words of lurid tints
I'm taxed too much, and when pay
stump and say my say, so people
win rebel. But happily, when was
young, my dad, prudent scout. advised
me oft to hold my tongue until I'd
thought things out. Most people talk
too much" he said, they talk before
they think; they hand out language
rich and red, and waste all kinds of
ink. It's always wise to go to bed and
sleep q long night through, before you
go with martial tread to talk four
hours or two. Then when you leave
is vain, and you viii not expound your
crouch, or illustrate your pain" The
old mans teaching recall in times
of wrath and stress, and so I do not
hire hall, my anger to express. I've
noticed that the men who rise, some
protest loud to lodge, are pretty often
friendleSs guys, whom other people
dodge. There are abuses here and
there, in this, our native land, but it
won't help to rend our hair and with
the walters stand. It does no good to
paw and yelp, to wiring our hands and
grieve: forgetting Ills we cannot help
Is wiser, believe. pay my tax and
then forget the way have been dosed;
it does no good to fume and fret, the

NEW YORK, March THE new 81

and tea than did the old 81 bill a few
months ago at the corner store or the

little or no reduction in the price Of

The cost of bread has not come down

you, and investigation at the big baker,

chain groceries sometimes sell bread at
or below cost.
1.-THE large bread baking orraniza-

one of the biggest baking concerns in
the country today ''are but little affected

more dependent on conditions In the
milling industry than on those In the

From the chain baking organizations
point Of view" he continued, "the price
charged by the miller for conversion of
wheat into -four is most important
This milling charge will depend upon
the activity of the mill, its volume of
business on hand and the outlook. Oc-
casionally the miller encounters a slack
period and Is forced to reduce his con-
version charge to bare operating cost
or even less, which gives the baker his
best buying opportunity Under such
conditions he may be able to buy his
flour for the actual cost of the wheat,
