Springfield, Mo., Jan. 11.—The’ public domain of Missouri comprised 1,108 acres at the close of the year’s business January 1, according toa report’ completed .today in the Mis- souri land office.

Bread will go Higher, U. S. Experts Say. Washington, D.-C., Jan. 9.—Smalt- er loaves of bread or an increase in the price’is one likely result of the rise in wheat, in the opinion of Chas. J. Brand, chief of the Federal Bu- reau of Markets. Moreover, Mr. Brand believes the American farmer will not be a first- hand beneficiary of the soaring prices. With good prices and good markets which have prevailed for the last few months Mr. Brand believes major portion of the 1914 wheat crop has passed to the hands of the eleva- tor men and the grain dealers. No Statistics have been gathered to sup- port this view, but officials of the department say experience and prac- tice warrant such a conclusion. Women Select a Saloonman as a Model Candidate.
