Quoted Charlie Ross, but the dead
thief, Mosher by name, was the one
who knew where the boy was Sc
creted. Walter Ross identified the
burglars as the men who had en-
ticed him and Charlie into the bug
gy. There the case rested. No new
fact has been developed. The miss
ing child has never been found.
Many times have children been re-
ported who resembled Charlie. and
Mr. Ross travelled far and near, in
his endless search, only to return
sadly and report that his boy was
still missing. No case in recent
years has excited such universal
sympathy as that of Charlie Ross.
(Since the case of Charlie Ross,
years so unusual as to earn for
him the title of Lost Child of
America there has in the life of
the writer occurred an orgy of kid
napings, several of which far out
did the Charlie Ross" case in
stirring up the human emotions
with it's cruelty, brutality and sor
rowful climaxes. We need but to
recall the Eddie Cudahy non-fatal
case of Omaha, Nebraska, Dec. IS,
1900, probably the most briefly ex-
citing, and the most cunningly ex-
ecuted in all it's details of any of
record; the pathetic and never ex-
planned mysterious disappearance Of
Melvin Horst at Orrville, Ohio, Dec.
27, 1928, and then finally here, the
super-tragic world-known case of
the Lindbergh baby, with it's dia-
bolical conception and distressing
subsequent events which are still a
yesterdays memory.-Reinersv

Cleveland were to be injured in an
auto accident, the toll would just
about equal the number of persons
injured in the United States last
year., 1000. Direct economic
loss from auto accidents in 1884
was estimated by the National
Safety Council as 1,5S0,000,0 1000
a sum equal to the value of all Ohio
agricultural lands and the build
ings on them, as given in the 1880
census. These figures suggest, in

MY GOODNESS, what a time VI

MY GOODNESS, what a time we
1SA did have last week talking
about the new school house! In this
case, as in almost every other one,
where controversy arises, most of
the dissention was caused by a
sufficient lack of information. We
venture to state that if almost any
one of the dissenters were a MEM
Der of the school board and had
all the details of the proposition at
hands, official action would have
been exactly the same.
Speaking of school boards a sug-
gestion was made that perhaps a
more complete understanding would
result in the districts activities if
there were five on the board in
stead of three Other districts have
tried this plan with some success,
although it is not known whether
our state laws will permit the en-
largement of the board. There are
some good phases in connection
with this suggestion.

Drouth, AAA, Blamed for Bread Pric

A GAIN the lowly loaf OF bread

controversy
With the price OF bread in.
creased in several large cities

ominous rumble Is heard from
the housewife sector.
Meanwhile. Secretary of Agri.
culture Henry A. Wallace and

bread. proposed recently.
Baking concerns contend that
flour costs are up as much as
So barrel. that shortening
prices have risen from 200 to
800 per cent: and that all other
ingredients are higher In price.
They point out that this years
wheat crop will probably be 50,-
100000 bushels short. which
may result In lacking up still
further the price of -four.
A huge share OF the blame
the bakers attribute to Mr.. Wal

Increased only about " cent a
loaf: furthermore, he contends
the bakers themselves have as
serted that operating expenses,
not the cost Of ingredients. form
the largest item in the retail
price Of bread.
According to the secretary,
the proposed one cent increase
would cost consuming land
fumingJ housewives about 500
million dollars a year. and bring
to millers q profit of about half
that amount.
TN a hearing held to Justify the
1 one cent price increase, Il
was decided that the variety of
factors involved. e., baking
formulas and local conditions
make It very difficult to esti-
mate relative costs. s~
However, the u. 8. Bureau of
Agricultural Economics offers
statistics which reveal that the
cost of materials for loaf Of
bread has more than doubled
