Smaller Loaves
Follow Eaise in
Price of Flour
With the rapidly, increasing price of
-wheat and . the consequently increasing
price of flour, bakers are tending to
hedge on the regulation with regard to
giving a given number of ounces of bread
for a nickel. Locally, there has been
some tendency ' to this . already. While
some bakers still maintain that they are
.giving sixteen ounces to a loaf, as the
city ordinance require, some are selling
a lot - labeled "More than fourteen
ounces." Others are selling a loaf la-
..MeoV "More han thirteewwsue.
Whether the price will eventually be
raised en a loaf of bread or whether the
-city will be asked to revise the ordinance,
reducing the ounoe requirement, still re
mains a , question.
In some bakeries the price of cinnamon
rolls hail been advanced within the last
week. Where they have been selling for
a, dime a dosen they are now being sold
at 13 cents a dozen, making them an
even cent apiece. Not all bakeries have
yet come to this advance.

The New Army ,
Troops from India Bring Back Many
Memories of Old Times to Kipling
(Copyrighted. 16, by Rudyard Kipling. All Rights Reserved.)
By RUDYARD K1PXIXG.
(PIFTH ARTICLE.)
Working from the east to the west of England, through a countryside
alive with troops of all armies, the car came at dusk Into a cathedral town
entirely Inhabited by one type of regiment The telegraph of rice was an
orderly jam of solid, large made men, with years of discipline behind them
and the tan of. Indian suns oo7 their faces '-Englishmen still so fresh from,
the troop shfps that one of them asked me, "What's the day o' tha month? '
'iimUi!itiVtVb5i'r wriaf irW41artTVeMey
might be expected on short pass at the weeEY end; and the fresh-faced
telegraph girls behind the grilles worked with six pair of hands apiece
and all the good will and patience in the world to back them. .
That same young woman who, with nothing to do, makes you wait ten
minutes'for a penny stamp while she finishes a. talk with a lady friend
will, at a crisis, go on till she drops and keep her temper throughout. "Well
If that's her village," I heard one of the girls say to an anxious soul. "I
tell you that that will be her telegraph office. You leave It to me.. She'll
get it all right."
Recalls "Soldiers Three."
He backed out, and, a dozen more qulety took his place. Their regi
ments hailed from all the old known stations of the east and beyond that
into the far eaBt again, They cursed their cool barrack accommodation;
they rejoiced in the keen autumn smells, and paraded the long street all
filled with "Europe shops;" while their officers and their officers' wives
and. I think, mothers, who. had come down to snatch a glimpse of their
boys, crowded the hotels, and the little unaatonished Anglo-Indian children
circulated round the knees of big friends they bad made aboard ship and
asked, "Where are you going now!" , '
One caught scraps of our old gypsy talk names of boarding bouses,
agents' addresses: VMilly stays with mother, of course;" "I'm taking Jack
down to school tomorrow. It's past half-term, but that, doesn't matter now
adays;" and cheery farewells between men and calm-eyed women. Except
for the frocks it might have been an evening assembly at ajiy station band
stand in India. . , .
Outside on the surging pavements a small boy tried, "Paper! Evening
paper!" Then, seductively-"Kargus!" -
,. "What?" . I said, thinking my -own backward-turning- mind had
cheated me. i t
"Dekko! Kargus," said he , (Look here! Paper!;') ,
"Why on earth d "you say that?"
. ''Because the men like it," he replied; and slapped an evening paper (no
change for a penny) Into the hand of a man in a helmet. i i
Who shall say that the English are not adaptable?.., , .
The car swam bonnet-deep through a mile of troops; and a mile up the
road one could hear the deep, hum! or all those crowded streets that the
cathedral bolls were chlming'over. It was only a small block of Aoglo-Indta
getting ready to take its place In the'all-devouring line. '
i
Screw
An hour later at
(Shall
places outright again?) the wind brought up one whiffone unmistakable
whiff of ghi. ; Somewhere among the English pines that for the moment
pretended to be the lower slopes of the Dun there were native troops. A
mule squealed in the dark and set off half a dosen others.
It was screw-guns batteries, of them waiting their turn also at the
game. Morning showed them In their immaculate' lines as though they had
just marched in from Jutogh Jittle, low guns with.theIr(amraunitlon; very
tig English gunners in disengaged attitudes, which, nevertheless, did not
encourage stray civilians to poke and peer into things; and the native
drivers all busied over their charges.
True, the wind was bitter, and many of the drivers had tied up tbelr
heads, but so one does at Quetta in the cold weather not to mention
Peshawur and, said a nalck of drivers: "It Is not the cold for which we
have no liking. It is the wet. The English air is good, but water falls at
all seasons. Yet, notwithstanding, we of this battery, (and. ob.; the pride
men can throw Into a mere number! ) have not' lost one mule. . Neither at
sea nor on land have we lost one. That can be shown. Sahib."
Then one heard the deep racking tobacco-cough In the lee of a tent
where four or Ave men Kangra folk, by the look of them were drinking
tobacco out of a cow's horn. Their own country's tobacco, be sure, for
English tobacco w But there was no need to explain. Who would have
dreamed to smell bazar tobacco on a south country golf links?
A large proportion of the men are, of course, Sikhs, to whom tobacco Is
forbidden: the Havildar maor himself was a Sikh of the Sikhs. He spoke,
of all things in this strange world, of the late Mr. Malachl McAulilfe's mon
umental book on the Sikh religion, saying, not without warrant, that Mc
Aallffe Sahib had translated Into English much of the holy book the great
Grunth 8ahib that lives at Amrltzar.

RETAIL SALES GROW

Over Previous Year. '
SHOWN BY ASSOCIATED AD MAP
Retail business of Omaha in November
was greater by per cent than in Novem
ber a year ago, according- to a merchan
dise map -prepared by the educational re
search committee of the Associated Ad-veralalng-
Clubs of tha World. Thla is
one of many maps published by the asso
ciated ad clubs In a neat volume that ha
Just, been copyrighted and Issued on mer.

committee, which then compiled tha ma
terial and prepared the map.
- Baaineas Good la Valley.
The book has Just been issued and the
flrat roplea have been received In Omaha,
A notable feature of the entire work Is
that Omaha and the Missouri valley gen
erally show up splendidly with an In
crease of business at the same time that
the great majority of the country shows
moro or lene of a decrease. The month
of November was chosen for comparison,
since this was four months after the be
ginning of the war, a long enough period.
It waa believed, to allow the first flurry
due to excitement to subside.
While Omaha shows an increase of
per cent In retail business, most of tha
cltle to the east of Omaha and moat of
the larger onea to the west show a de
orease of from 1 to 10 and even 20 per
cent In retail business.
Retail advertising increased t per cent
In Omaha, and but galnei In no. other
nlRco in Nebraska, according to this
map. It Ini-reascd also in Kansas City
and pretty well up and down tho lower j
Missouri rlvrr, while It drercased in j
most all of the cltlos east of there ex-1
cept In the eotton states ana in Pennsyl

speaking.
Retail Collections Better Here. -Retail
collections were SO per ' cent
better in Omaha In November than a year
before. according to this map. This gen
eral 'condition 1 shown 'to, have extelted
throughout eastern Nebraska, ' South j
Dakota, Missouri and Kansas while col- j
lections were conspicuously poor In the !
cotton states with the exception of j
Texas. . ...
Ill tlie volume of department store sale, j
Omi'ha stood at par. Neither an Increase
nor a decrease w:is shown over a year
before for the corresponding month. Kan
sas City showed an Increase of 30 per cent,
but' the southern and eastern states in
general with the exception of New Eng
land and New York, show a decrease. !
More Grocery Retaras. I
Omaha shows an increase of 13 per cent j
in "grocery sales. This condition also is
in evidence in tha eastern section of
Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, and tha
Dakota. Also it obtain in general In'
New York, New England and central
Ohio.
A 14 per rent Increase is shown in
Omaha In hardware ealrs. The Dakota
allow an Increase of from 1 to SO per cent
In this commodity, while throughout tho
cant 'In general there was a decrease of
from 7 per Cent to 31 per cent.
The Missouri valley again shows an In
crease in drug sales of from 1 to 19. per

The Day's
War News
German armies are again strik
ing at Warsaw from two direc
tions. Along the Vistula to the
west of the Polish capital heavy
fighting has been resumed and at
the same time a new attack has
been launched from the north.
The Petrograd Wr office de
scribed the fighting as "more and
more desperate," and admits that
the Germans made advances at
many points, but states that they
were subsequently driven back
again.
. Coincident with the Russians'
sweep 'through the Austrian prov
ince of Btikowina, plans are under
way in the adjacent country of
Roumanla for mobilization of the
army. Unofficial advices state
that the entrance of Roumanla
Into the war Is expected.
A Geneva report says that an
Austrian army has been trapped
in Galiola by the Russians, who
by an unexpected movement
caught the Austrlans at adlsad
vantage on difficult ground and
placed them in a precarious posi
tion. There was no confirmation,
however, of this report.
In contrast with the heavy fight
ing in the cast, the armies in the
west, to far as was revealed, re
mained comparatively inactive.
