'Fresh from the gardens' THE COST OF THE LOAF. Some officials have been doing a. 'tittle research in respect to the cost toff bread. Their discoveries are not icvithout value, and we are especially iinterested in these because they bear .ost a question that is much under tdiscrission—the "spread" in price • between the producer and the eon - .sumer. ':Tire cost of a pound of bread varies `considerably in different cities, but ,'the .proportion that .the several ele- intents in.. that cost bear to one an - 'other is not so very unlike. The analysis of the New York price — which is 9.73 cents—runs as follows: i'llhe !farmer takes 1.50 cents; elevator echa•rges take .07 vents; the miller • takes .53 cents; freight charges on -the wheat and on the flour take .52 ,cents; the baker takes 5.62 cents; the _retailer takes 1.49 cents. In New !Orleans where bread is much cheaper than it is in New York, the difference is almost wholly in the lower cost of ,baking and retailing. Even in New ;Orleans the cost of the actual wheat if= the loaf is less than one fifth the -price that the customer pays for it. The baker and the storekeeper get from each loaf of bread more than `wise as much as the Farmer, the mill- er;an8. tate railway get put together. ,lit ;is the final distribution that costs, 'And yet the baker and the store- keeper are probably not making ex- • oefbigastt profits. They both have - elennrr eff competition, for, though there are great baking concerns, there is no trust strong enough to -crowd the independent baker out of busin- ess or to control the storekeeper. The ',price of bread might even be lower iii there were such a trust, for a trust might be able to make such a saving in the cost of baking as to lower the price. Even if a trust got complete .control of the public bakeries, it would stili have to consider the po- tential competition of housewives. When 'bread gets too high in price the women can always cut the cost to themselves by doing their own bak- ing. And if they learn to do it well they can stake a better and more ap- petizing !oaf than the baker can supply. Some people believe that the mill- ing charges are excessive; but the rnillur's entire profits, whether small or great. cannot be more than two per cent of the dime that the house- holder pays for his bread. Indeed, the operations of the state-owned flouring mill in North Dakota seem to prove that the gains 's: the business are not exorbitant, for the mill at Oland Fork; has never made any profit at ill It 1., distribution, chiefly in its final stages. that makes things expensive; for then small amounts t'1 the pro - .duct are handled, of course at higher proportionate c„t iu time, in labor and in capital. The price -spread will never he greatly reduced unless we JUDGING COMPETITION. revolutionize our methods - of final distribution, and that might be at- tended with results not entirely wet - come.

It has been a weekly event ever since the young folk scattered to various towns, each to make his or her own way in the world. It started when Dick left to work in a neighbor- ing city. Dick was full of enthusiasm, but apt to be just a little bit wild., So Dad started the habit of calling him once a week just to keep high under the parental influence. Then Helen was married and moved away, and mother must needs make weekly voice visits. with her. And now Betty has taken a position in another town. Her voice comes home each week too. Dad and mother gather all the news and pass it on to the others. It keeps the family together — and the cost of the three evening calls is less than a dollar.
