JNt UtNl WILL bt
ADDED TO RETAIL
PRICE JF BREAD
Federal Food Body Authorizes
' Maximum Charge to Con
sumer; 10 Cents for
i Pound Loaf.
If you buy bread you will pay more
for it Monday. The advance is due
to the fact that early this week the
food administration permitted the
bakers to raise their wholesale prices.
. The federal price committee has
.taken the matter up and authorized
. maximum prices, the "cash and carry"
and the "credit and delivery" being
the same.
; - iHere are the maximum prices that
the retailer is authorized to charge:
Twelv-ounca i!ngl loaf.... c
round loaf 10c
Two-pound (ingle loaf 15o
. Prior to the increase the twelve
' ounce loaf sold at 7 cents and the
pound at 9 cents.
The Omaha bakers, through P. F.
Peterson, chairman of their organiza
tion, announces that all of the local
bread manufacturers will cut from
their sales lists all retailers who fail
to" conform to the new maximum
sales schedule. There is nothing to
prohibit retailers from selling at lower
prices if they desire.
Drive of Autoists
to Secure Names For
; Petition Falls Down
'Mhe drive in Omaha and the state
to secure 50,000 signatures to a pe
' tition asking the people to vote on a
constitutional amendment to place a
single tax on automobiles failed to se
cure that number of signatures. As
sistant Commissioner Ellis of the
Chamber of Commerce believes.
The signed petitions are now in the
hands of the secretary of state. The
law requires a very cumbersome pro
cedure in a movement of this kind.
On the back of each petition all the
names appearing on its face must be
written together with the statement.
.' signed and duly witnessed, that these
persons signed the petition.
Those in charge of the movement
believe that it is still possible to have
the question submitted at the fall elec
tion. When the signatures are addeH
tip the legal question will be taken
up to see whether the signatures are
sufficiently numerous under the law.
National War Savings Day
Accomplished Its Purpose
The, Nebraska war savings plan,
which . was universally adopted
throughout the United States in the
campaign which culminated on June
28, designated by the president as
"National War Savings day" has re
sulted in a .great impetus to the war
savings movement
Guy C. Kiddoo, who feturned to
Omaha Monday from Washington,
and who was one of a committee of
' there in charge of the national cam
paign, of which committee Ward M.
Burgess was Chairman, reports that
there is great activity in the eastern
- states along war savings lines as a
result of the June campaign.
! A telegram from Harry E. Bene
dict, executive secretary of the na
tional committee, to Mr. Kiddoo, ad
vises that preliminary reports from
36 states indicate, that 24 have over
f subscribed their war savings quotas.
S he campaign in Nebraska, which
was primarily for the organization of
war savings societies, resulted in the
formation of approximately 10,000 so
cieties. 'The quota of societies for
the state fixed by the national com
mittee was only 4,300 societies.
Volunteers to Have Their
Picnic Here Next Tuesday
When Major F. A. McCormick, of
the Volunteers of America, opened
' the door on the morning of the
Four,th, he found a pathetic little
group huddled in the doorway.
"What time is the picnic?" they
isked.
Several women with their little
children had, come prepared for the
big annual outing, which is to beheld
July 9, thinking it was to be on the
' Fourth. "I felt sorry to have to send
them back home," said the major;
"they were so disappointed."
" Preparations for the picnic are well
under way. N. J. Weston, physical
. director of the Young Men's Chris
tian association, has agreed to direct
the games, and piles of good things to
eat have been donated, though there
will be plenty of opportunity to use
more, as the children ayways come to
, the picnic ready to make up for the
lean days that precede it.

Refusal to pay for the funeral ex
penses of the burial of his one-day
old child, beating and choking his

PIGS BANISHED
FROM RESIDENCE
SECTION OF CITY
Health Commissioner Will Al
low Sheep to Gambol on
Lawns, But Draws Line
on Porker.
Health Commissioner Manning
states that "pigs may be pigs," but he
has directed his inspectors to notify
citizens that on and after July 20
pigs will not be allowed within the
residence districts.
This will have the effect of counter
manding an order issued by the health
department last spring, that pigs
would be allowed in residence sec
tions as a food conservation meas
ure. "We have had so many complaints
against this" practice that we have de
cided to abate what we deem is a
nuisance," Dr. Manning explained,

with the effigy or profile of the Beast
of Berlin, will be put up for bombard
ment Patriotic persons of Omaha will be
permitted to do a little hand grenade
practice on the steins at 10 cents per
shot. It will be a pleasure to break
some of the steins, especially those
which have inscriptions on them to
the effect that "Deutschland is uber
alles," and others glorifying Ger
many's militarism.
The health commissioner was sus
tained by City Commissioner Ringer.
Those who have been raising pigs
in residence districts will be given 15
davs in which to dispose of the stock.

but little flax is in the goods. Not bo here. When you
