D., August 8.—(P)—Alex~ ander Legge, chairman of the Federal | Farm Board, was urged to seek the) cooperation of bakers “to assist, or encourage, a better price for wheat,” in a letter just sent him by W. D. Powell, secretary of the North Dakota Retail Merchants association. Mr. Powell, writing in behalf of the associated retail merchants, called at- tention to a news dispatch quoting Mr. Legge to the effect that “it has been computed that of every dollar spent by the consumer for bread, 61 cents never gets to the baker but is consumed ‘1 distribution costs from the bakery to the consumer.” The farm board chairman was fur- ther quoted as saying that “the com- bination of the packing industry with the retail food trade which might result from modification of the con- sent decree would at least elimipate doubt as to who ts profiteering.” Bread is now being retailed at Far- go at 12% cents per 1% pound loaf, Mr. Powell said in his letter. Robbinsdale, Minn., Aug. 8.—()}— Maurice Silverman, deputy prohibi- tion administrator for the northwest district, barely escaped with his life here when he attempted to halt two men in a car for questioning after federal agents had seized three 350- gallon stills in a farm near here. Silverman and other agents over- hauled the machine after a_ brief chase, and the deputy jumped from his car to the runnifg board of the other machine. As he attempted to grasp the steering wheel, one of the two men in the car drew a revolver and fired twice. Both shots went wild, but Silver- man was slightly cut when a bullet shattered a glass in his own car. He also was bruised when he lost his hold and fell to the road while his as- | sailants fled.

Throughout the book a spade is called a spade. The moral life of sail- ors is frankly and humorously treated.

It is full of adventure which saves the grotesque events of the trip from too great sordidness.” Fritjoff Michelson is a Dakota prod- uct. He-was born in Deadwood, 8. D., October 15, 1896.

Millers in Position to Aid “Considering that people generally are buying bread produced in bak- eries, why would it not be well for the federal farm board to seek the co- operation of bakers, through the American Bakers association, to as- sist, or encourage, a better price for wheat? It would not be difficult to get at the exact, or slight, difference in the cost of bread to the consumer, for each 15, 30, or 45 cents advanced in price of wheat to the producer. “The flour milling industry is in a similar position to the baker, as re- gards the cost of the raw material, with, however, ® less spread. The} - independent retailers handle the bread with very little if any net prof- it. In making this statement, I am presuming that the same conditions apply throughout the country as in North Dakota. It would, therefore, appear that if every industry at in- terest would exert an interest in the matter of a better price for wheat, that some good would result. The producer, as well as the consumer, of wheat products, is at least entitled to know the exact truth relative to manufacture and distribution of “ wheat products, and this you are in a Position to give them. Favor to Packers “As to the modification of the pack- ers consent decree, it would mean no more, or no less than a gift, worth many millions of dollars, to the large meat packing institutions. Evidence | is at hand which shows conclusively that the large interests are moving gradually, but surely, toward the con- trol of wholesale and retail distribu- tion of food products. In this con- nection, the main thing is to elimi- nate the competition maintained by the independent retatlers, and I may say independent wholesalers as well. “With this impediment out of the way, the chain system would have clear sailing for increased net earn- ings. The modification of the pack- ers consent decree would mean the establishment of an additional na- tion-wide chain system dealing in food products, and, thereby, add to the pressure now being exerted against the independent retailers. In this regard it is well to keep in mind that it is the independent dealers who are holding down the price to the consuming public. The chain system would .have it appear the other way, and have resorted to. every device known to further such impression, “One thing is sure, the producer of raw food stuffs must have a profit on his products, if he is to keep going. It would appear to me that! this would be a good time to show the consumer that a better price on the major crops of the producer would not reflect anywhere near an even | Bereney in the finished product to entitled to cast EDWARD D.
