POUND OF BREAD
FOR SIX CENTS
IS U.S. PROPOSAL
Hopver Plans For Standard
Loaf of All-Wheat Flour
For Consumers
Washington, Aug. 29.—A standard j
slxteen-ounce loaf of bread, to re- J
tail for six cents, is planned by the j
Food Administration.
The bread will bo known as the
*
"Liberty Loaf" or by some similar |
name. It will be sold for cash over
the counters, or by bakers who de
liver by wagon routes to families.
Experiments with the pound loaf
are now being conducted in two big
!
Washington bakeries, which have j
placed "their facilities at the disposal
of the Food Administration. The loal'
will be all-wheat flour.
Herbert C. Hoover, the Admlnis-1
trator, has been collecting statistics
in all parts of the country concern- j
ing the cost of baking, the cost of
Hour delivered at small and large
bakeries, profits made by bakers and
profits made by retail dealers, par
ticularly small groceries.
The result has convinced the Food
Administration that a sixteen-ounce
loaf of all-wheat Hour to sell for six
cents can be produced at a fair
profit to bakers and dealers.
Abundance of Produce

market this morning in abundance.
The prices were reasonable.
Eggs sold at 42 cents a doze#.,

Many
Prospective
Builders
seqm tQ be under the
impression that they
can save money by
postponingoperations.
This, however, is not
the case.
If a man waits two,
three or four years to
build he will not be able
to buy his lumber for less
than he will pay now.
Lumber to-day has not
much advanced in price.
It is only 15 per cent
higher than the average
for the last ten years^
We strongly maintain
that this is the best time
to build.
