OLD AMERICAN BOTTLE

1t is not what is in bottle or
what has been in it that interests
G.. l.. Hooberry, collector, but its
color and where it was made.
A bottle made in America 100
years ago is worth much more
than one made in England at the

one of the old Virginia blown
brown variety, 125 years old. Red
ones and those of clear blue are
priced.
The practice of making bottles
into lamps and using them on the

to find all the. old bottles they can.

WASHINGTON, July 21.--
When Hugh Gibson. generally rat
ed one of the rnost experienced
career diplomats in the govern
ment, was shifted by President
Roosevelt rather early in his adj
ministration, it struck some Wash
ington observers as bit odd.
Gibson's long years of expert
enee with the problem of disarm-
ament. at a time when it seemed
that the Roosevelt administration
was setting out with high hopes
to get somewhere in the disarm-
amemt field. appeared indispen-
sable.
Ever since President Harding
called the world disarmament con-
ference in Washington back in
1921. Hugh Gibson has been look
ed upon as a sort of walking text
book on this subject.
Inc nick OF In1nEs
He laid the groundwork for the
three power conference during the
Coolidge administration. And it
was through Gibson, speaking at
the League of Nations disarma-
ment gathering at Geneva, that
President Hoover made the ges-
ture which resulted in the London
naval arms conference.
Friends of Gibson, however. say
that he was not surprised at his
shift from Europe. For one
thing. he was such a republican
stalwart--he was an intimate
friend of his fellow Californian,
Herbert Hoover-that he could
hardly have expected preferment

HIGHER BREAD
PRICES IS new
SUBJECT HEARD
RISE OF WHEAT ACCEPTED
AS MAIN REASON; MANY
OTHER ANGLES PLACED ON
PROBLEM BEFORE PUBLIC
OBy Associated pressD

NEW YORK, July 21.-Figur-
ing out the cost of the staff of
life-bread-is a difficult task,
| especially for the purpose of COM
pairing costs in two periods.
Recent rises in retail bread
prices already have directed at
tention to the problem, important
to housewives and to experts at
Washington watchful lest the in
creases become excessive.
Ingredients Show Rise
Federal statistics show that the
cost of-the ingredients of bread in
creased about 1.35 cents between
February and July, but statistics
are lacking as to increased costs
resulting from higher prices for
cotton flour sacks, for paper used
to wrap the loaves, for gasoline in
delivery trucks. for higher taxes,
for wage increases or the other
/ factors which go into the loaf's
cost.
One baker estimated that 16
percent increase, about l cent, of
wholesale prices in New York
would cover costs, and that retail
ers might or might not increase
prices by a similar amount. He said
uniform price for bread was
somewhat misleading since some
loaves contained superior mate
rails.
Practically every ingredient
going into the loaf gained in cost
between February and July.
Wheat, plus the processing tax.
moved up about 1888 cents. sugar
from .08 to 10, malt from .05 to
.06, lard substitute from IL to Is.
dried milk from .15 to 20. Yeast
and salt were unchanged.
'Makings' Cost One Third
The cost of these ingredients,
according to a study by the Fed
eral Trade commission, represent
ed about third of the cost of a
loaf selling at about 1858 cents.
The wholesale bakers profit was
.651 cents and the retailers profit
1.279 cents.
Labor costs. while they have ris-
en- somewhat. do not tend to adj
vance considerably because of the
mechanical efficiency of the mod
ern baker.

If bread consumption were in

UNCLE SAM WILL
help GROWERS in
FARM COMMODITY
ACCEPT FEDERAL GOVERN.
MENT's PROPOSAL TO DE-
STRoY PART OF COTTON
CROP TO RAISE PRICES
my Associated Pressl


ATLANTA, July 21.-Cotton
farmers from the rolling hills of
North Cardinals Piedmont belt
to the wide plains of Texas have
joined hands in what is probab-
ly the south's greatest undertak-
ing to raise the price of farm
commodity.
Having accepted the federal
governments proposal to destroy
part of their existing crop, thou
sands of formers have turned to
their fields and are blowing up
more than 100000 acres.
Encouraged when prices passed
beyond 10 cents pound and by
assurance of agricultural leaders
that destruction of 80 percent of
the current crop would mean 10 to
~. cents per pound next fall,
farmers embraced the plan with
enthusiasm.
u. S. To Pay Rent
Secretary Henry A. Wallace of
the department of agriculture has
announced acceptance of the cot
ton reduction program and plans
10 speed distribation of $780,
600, 900 to the 100000 farmers
signed up.
This sum, representing rent
for the abandoned acreage, is to
be collected from processing and
other taxes on the finished pro-
duct.
The governments offer to give
the farmer an option on as many
bales as he destroyed at approx
mately 6 cents a pound, fear of
boil weevil damage, possibility of
loss through unfavorable weather
and other factors helped the farm
er to make up his mind.
As Senator Sees 1t
In the words of Senator E. D.
Smith of South Carolina, father of
the reduction bill, the farmer who
makes an average of 100 bales on
his farm could pillow up his quota
under the government plan and
have $50 bales in the warehouse,
no boil weevils no crab grass no re-
creation following Shave tail
