CHICAGO, April 15.-The increase

large cities this week was termed by
W. M. Quinlan of the American
Bakers Association yesterday "a nat

rising production and distribution coss.
Bread prices we're increased in New

member Of the Bakers Club Board of
Governors predicted rise in Chicago

been compelled to pay" in the way OF
Increased operation costs.
He said Bureau of Labor statistics
showed the average price of bread in
March was less than that of a year
ago, despite an increase during the
same period in wheat prices from 81
. bushel to almost $3.50 and CORE
spending increases in the cost of other
ingredients.
Quinlan contended bakery pay rolls
were increased about IS per cent
under the N r. A. and that the in

Variety Of Costs.
Out Of the bakers income about 80
to a per cent goes for ingredients
and about % to 80 per cent for pay
rolls. Quinlan said, exclusive of sell

and all other costs.
Despite these increased burdens, >
he said, bakers generally have moi
attempted or have been unable to make
adjustments to cover them"

should beat anything in recent years, mer-
chants agree. After that the weather and
the roads always are big factors until the
spring breakup.
While the east frets about prospects for
next year with worries over labor troubles,
what congress will do, foreign trade, war
clouds, embargoes, etc. the problem here is
largely how much the farmer will get for
his crop. If prices are high enough trade
will be good, construction work both in the
city and on farms will continue at a rapid
pace and employment will be plentiful.
Any scheme to keep farm prices high,
that works, assures this territory OF con-

GOOD MAIL SERVICE is IMPORT

GOOD MAIL SERVICE is lMPORI-
ant to every business man in the community
but to newspaper it is absolutely essential.
Papers which are not delivered within "a
hours of the time of printing are perish
able" as far as reader interest is concerned
and irregular service is an aggravation to
the subscriber and losing proposition to
the publisher.
Redwood Falls has good service from
the city to towns along the M and ST. l. and'
on paper, appears to have acceptable service
to towns in the central part of the county
which are reached from Marshall by star
route trucks. Actually, however, a train
connection must be made at Hanley Falls TO
get good service to Marshall. Only 30 min
utes are allowed there when trains are on
schedule and it has come to our attention
that this connection is sometimes missed,
resulting in a serious delay in the delivery
of papers to several star route towns. "A
connection at Mankato to several towns IN
the extreme south part of the county seems
to be more frequently missed.
After a study of surer means OF trans
portation, Redwood Falls newspapers expect
very soon to adopt a new method OF reach
ing these towns. This explanation is pub
lished in order that the subscribers affected
will know that we recognize their complaint
as our problem and are determined to solve
