hi < vi* a the next few days according
[to a .-at ru nt made by two of the leading

vanced in price to $14.00 a barrel last week
the highest since the last year of the civil
war and with wheat quoted at $3 a bushel
on the Fort Worth markets Saturday the
j bakers s„y they cannot either in justice I<
themselves or to their consumers reduce!
the -1/A' of the present five cent loaf.
Some months ago the linkers were forced
to scale their loaves down from fourteen!
ounces to eight ounces and l»y this means!
'•oiittnmd the sale of a nickel loaf long at- !
ter many towns had discontinued Its man-1
ufacture. la addition to the advance in
the price of tloiir baking compound has
more than doubled in the price of normal
times and sugar has advanced until it is
now worth ten cents a pound wholesale.
Some bakers are now making twelve
ounce loaves at ten cents a loaf.

200 MEN BEHIND
ADMINISTRATION
BROWNSVILLE FARMERS AND BUSI-
NESSMEN SUPPORT PLAN FOR
A SELECTIVE CONSCRIPTION.
By unanmious vote the gathering of two
hundred fanners aind business men in the
mass meeting at the federal building Sat-
urday afternoon endorsed the adinihst ra-
tion's selective conscription plan and ex-
pre—ed their disapproval of the stand of
Congressman Daniel Garrett congressman
at large from Texas in fighting the presi-
dent's program.
( hainiian Wood rend a telegram he had
received from tin* secret airy of the Ameri-
can Defense society urging that telegram*
of protest he sent t•> the congressman.'
I*. II. Faulk who has a son doing hi* hit
with the Texas guard introduced a resolu-
tion endorsing the plan and Clement II.
Kirby offered an amendment to the effect
that “we desired our congressman to hack
the president in all his war legislation."
Both tin* resolution and amendment were
seconded by Mr. Louis Coholini.
As u result of the action of the meet-
ing Mr. Wood Saturday nigh* sent the fol-
lowing telegram to Congressman Garrett:
“At a mass meeting of farmers and
business men of Brownsville anal vicinity
several hundred strong held this afternoon
in the federal building resolution was
unaniiuou-ly passed urging yon to sup.
|M>rt the universial military service bill and
tin* president in his campaign for a united
national effort in the prosecution of the
war. We believe the overwhelming major-
ity of sentiment in this state supports this
position."
The following message was sent to the
American Defense society:
“At a large inaiss meeting composed of
business men and farmers in and adjacent
to Brownsville resolution unanimously
passed to wire Representative Garrett
urging support of universal military ser-
vice and the president. Glad to cooperate
in this or any other like effort for our
common good."
