Ma¥tin (United Press Correspondent) ‘Washington, . Nov. 18 —When ‘Woodrow Wilson goes away from the White House next March, his fidus Achates, Man Friday and Admirable Crichton wilb go too. Which is only another way of saying that Joseph P. TumuRty will be leaving the arena to take a seat in the bleachers. ‘‘Like master, like man,” is. the proverb. In the case of Wilson and Tumulty, it is true, with variations. The variations may be due in large measure to the fact that while his chiet is Scotch-Trish, Tumulty is just Irish, or as he himself puts it, “Irish with reservations.” But in the main, Tumulty’s mind ‘has always ‘“‘gone along” with Wil- ison’s. Certainly no president ever jhad a more devoted and loyal lieu- tenant. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that if Wilson aropsed vip- lent antipathies, Tumulty 'did too. {But here another variation comes to light. Fer Wilson, cloistered as he was, taciturn and rather stern, yearned for people to love him; and while he roused warm admiration, | deep respect, almost 'reverence in | large numbers of his countrymen, he was not the manner of man to win other men;the way Tumulty can win them. It's the Irish again, probably. Anyhow, though secretary has been almost as much cugsed and discussed in the eight; years he has been in. the' White House as his chief has been, he has also won many warm friends by his wit and the genuine warm-hearted humanees ke can display on decasion. who does a lot of bathing in cold water.

Dear Sir: I trust you will give space to this communication and com- ment ‘upon it if you .desire. I would like to know if you can tell me, why do bread prices stay up? Will the" city bakers answer us bread buyers why they must charge the same prices for their loaves of bread as they did a year ago? Do they not know that wheat has de- clined from about $3.00 to $1.55 a bushel on the. local market? Yes, and the wholesale ‘fldur has dropped from around $17 per barrel to $10. We cannot see any appreciable difference in the sizes of the various priced loaves of bread. Possibly we do not have the delicate instruments to either weigh or measure to find a difference if there is any. There &are many .of us. who would like to ‘have this answered. We read from time to time that there is a general reduction in prices all ‘along the line. ' This decline must come. But, why is the farmers’ | wheat, his grain, and his live stock hit soyhard?\ Is there the same com- parable reduction in the prices of meats, staple groceries or clothing? When a decline of 48 per cent, in whgat resulting in a decline of 41 per cent in flour does not show in {the price of bread 'there is some- thing we cannot understand. Come, {bakers, answer us. t A “Regular Bread Eater.” FINE STOCK FOR MINNESOTA FAR?MS Twenty-four purebred Guernsey cattle out of a herd of 39 that was sold at auction recently by Jones & McKerrow of Waukesha, Wis., were bought for dairymen of Minnesota and have been placed on Minnesota farms. Sixteen of the 24 coming to Minnesota were purchased by Anoka county milk and butter producers. The 39 head sold at an average price of $1,031.50. I. V.
