But the bread-eating population
kept increasing all the time. There
is now very little of the surplus
producing capacity which impels
industries to reduce their prices in
order to sell more goods.
The millers and bakers, mean
while, have been squeezed by high
wages and other costs, which ac-
counts for some of the price raise
And on paper it looks as though
they have been earning steadily
fatter profits since 1910.
The farmer, meanwhile, is hav-
ing a tougher time than the city
folk. The price of his wheat went
up all through the war and reach-
ed an all-time peak of S281 BUSH
ell in January, 1948. Then it began
to drop. Now wheat sells for $1.94
a bushel. But when the farmer goes
to the store to buy back his wheat
in the form of bread, he has to pay
the all-time peak price, just like
city people.
At present prices he is getting

that make up the price of bread are

the baker and retailer, and one

Farm prices always dance uI

The Mystery
Of Bread Prices
by Clarke Beach

Washington The price OF a loat
Of bread is a mystery that is baffl-
ing the best of 'em.
The Senate Banking and Cur
rency Committee decided to look
into the matter when the price
of wheat fell 30 percent in 194S--
and the price of bread, instead OF
falling, rose slightly. Flour prices
dropped is percent in the year.
So far the committee hasn't got
ten around to making It's lnves1-
cation. But the Agriculture Depart-
ment made study of the matter
and found that the thing holding
tp the bread price is the "market-
ing margin" This margin is deter
mined by costs and profits OF mil
lers, bakers and retailers--what
ever is added to the price of wheat
or flour between the buying OF
the raw materials and sale OF the
finished product.
What the department would ike
10 know more about is:
Just what are the items IN the
marketing margins which are hold
ing bread prices high? Large ex-
penditures for wages, Transports
ton, storage, packaging, advertis-
ing, new plant Investment or just
high profits?
The department is considering
making a new study to go into
this inner mystery of the Great
Bread Price Mystery. Meanwhile
in nearly every store in the nation
the average price of bread is 14,5
cents-the all-time peak, reached
in February 194S.
In few localities minor drop:
brought the average down to IA
cents last December. But the ex-
perts don't think this small de-
crease promises much. The Agri
culture Department predicts tia
the price Of loaf viii remain a
approximately the peak price a
least until July.
W. Edward Blackmore, agricul
tural economist who made tn
bread price study, said marketing
costs will not decline until tn
overall price level declines--whel
wages and all other costs item
start a downard adjustment.
There isn't much competition to
day in the milling and baking in
dustries. They expanded thei
plants very little burning the wal

Control SilverfSh
With DOT

DOT and Chlordane are both eff
fective as sprays against silVerfish,
according to 7. L. Bissell, Extension
Entomologist, University of Mary
land. Silverfsh are flat, wingless in
sects with long feelers and tail ap-
pendages. They work at night and
run quickly for a hiding place when
disturbed in the daytime.
Silverfsh thrive best in a damp,
warm basement, but frequent any
part of the house. They feed upon
sizing paper, book bindings, wall
paper, and other starchy materials,
They eat holes in thin fabrics, parti-
cularly those of rayon.
Bissell suggests that sources of in
festation such as stacks of maya
zines, books, and old trunks in the
basement be cleaned up. Clean closets
and pantry shelves will also make it
difficult for silverfish.
In controlling this insect pest, Bis
sell suggests that you use percent
DOT in kerosene (the usual ingredi-
ents of fly spray) or 2 percent
chlordane in oil. Spray surface where
silverfsh run and nearby cracks in
floors and walls. One application
should eliminate the problem.

Centennial Booklet
Exceeds Quota In
Advertising Revenue

The $8,000.00 quota, set for adver-
Using in the Oakland Centennial
souvenir program, was surpassed or
the July Is deadlne as several late
receipts swelled the total to about
$4,000, according to Miss Susy
Smith, advertising solicitor.
Miss Smith estimates she made 500
to 1000 calls during the past two and
a half months. Fifteen different
towns were visited, many more than
once, and Eat least dozen" trips
made to Cumberland. This city sup
ported the Centennial to the tune OF
$1,100.00, she said. Other nearby
communities which proved especially
helpful were Kingwood and Terra
Alta, w. Va, and Grantsville Clarks-
burg, w. Va, was also very Oakland
conscious" she said, and appreciative
of the business received from here.
Baltimore Disappoints
Returns from Baltimore were dis
appointing, Miss Smith said. She did
not make a soliciting trip there, de-
pending on the mail, which brought
reflections just as easily" During the
campaign, 225 letters were written,
and $1,250.OO received as a result.
Contributions from doctors in Bal
timore and Cumberland were sub
stantial. Although some members of
the medical profession preferred to
remain anonymous, their contribu-
lions were used to finance the print
ing of several feature pages.
Miss Smith gave credit to members
of the Oakland Centennial Commits
sion for help in securing a number
of ads through their personal con-
facts. She also declared that the peo-
pie of Oakland enthusiastically sup
ported the book, even though a large
number had also invested 500 in the
celebration.
Money collected from advertising
has been placed in the bank and will
be used to defray costs of printing,
after which the balance will be avail
able to help redeem the 500 loans.
The program is now nearing com
pletion. Running 100 pages, it will be
placed on sale at 25c shortly before
the celebration opens on August 8.

TELLER SHOWING THEM AGAIN; WINS
 THINNING GAME
By JOE REICHLER

Bob Teller is up to his old tricks again-engaging in his favorite pastime of making the baseball experts eat their words.
 It was only couple of days ago that the experts predicted, for the umpty-umpth time, that the erstwhile great Cleveland pitcher was through-finished as win ming hurler And as he did on all previous occasions, the 30-year- old righthander has proved them wrong.
 He stilled them yesterday with brilliant Thinning pitching per- l formance as the Indians defeated the New York Yankees, Az. Eel Ter allowed six hits, only one in the last seven innings.
 Feller's victory yesterday was a very important one for the fourth place Indians. It gave them the series from the league leaders two games to one-and moved them up to within five and a halt from the top. They've now won seven of their last eight and trail the third place Philadelphia Ath- letics by only one game.
 A home run with one on by first baseman Mickey Vernon broke up the game in the 11th. Joe Page, who had replaced starter Allie Reynolds in the seventh, was the loser.
 Aided by homers by Ted Williams and Dom DiMaggio, each with two mates aboard, the Boston Red Sox walloped the Chicago White Sox, 9-2, to sweep the four-game series.
 Lefthander Chuck Stobbs, al lowed seven hits for his first major league victory.
 The second place Detroit Tigers, behind the superb pitching ot Virgil Trucks and Fred Hutchinson, shut out the Washington Senators in Goth ends of a doubleheader, go and TO, to cut New Yorks margin to three games.
 Philadelphia and St. Louis di- vided doubleheader, the Athletics winning the first game, 8-2, and the Browns taking the second 7-3. Rookie Alex Kellner won his ninth game for the As, scattering six hits.
 Joe Ostrowski stopped the Mack men with seven-hitter in the nightcap.
 Chuck Diering's ninth inning single scored Lou Klein with the run that gave the second place St. Louis Cardinals a 6-5 victory over Philadelphia and put them only one game behind the Ma tional League leading Brooklyn Dodgers. Robin Roberts, who shut out the Redbirds on Friday, was the loser Ted Wilks, in relief, was the winner.
 Johnny Schmitz pitched the Chicago Cubs to an 8-2 triumph oyer the Dodgers to snap a seven game losing streak for his club. It was the first Cub victory since Frank Frisch became manager.
 The Boston Braves regained third place from the Phillies by taking both ends of a double header from the Cincinnati Reds, 5-2 and 3-2. Bob Elliott drove in three runs in the first game to help Warren Spahn gain his eighth victory.
 The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the New York Giants, 9-4, to take the rubber of the three game series. Bob Chesnes scattered seven hits in winning his fourth game. Larry Jansen was the loser.
