Washington, Sept. 10.—With
the price of wheat stabilized and
a scale of profits adopted by flour
manufacturers the food admini-
stration turned its attention Mon-
day to plans for reducing the
cost of bread. A dozen leading
bakers, comprising the war
emergency council of their na-
tionalassociation, meeting with
the food administration officers,
were given an outline of what it
is hoped to accomplish through
elimination of wasteful practices
in the baking industry and by'
co-operation of the bakers them-
selves.
Food Administrator Hoover be-
lieves bread prices can be
brought down fully 20 per cent
when the new wheat crop begins
to move freely through the flour
mills. The food administration
hopes to establish a standardized
loaf of 16 ounces to sell at 6 cents
and another of 14 ounces to re-
tail at 5 cents. T z

Before going to Brenhan there
was some question as to whether
or not a Tri-County Institute
would be more beneficial than
the old method; but after having
attended one, the question was
not asked by any one. It was
such a decided access that when
the time came to consider it for
another year, not a voice was
heard in opposition thereto.
Probably there are a few, but
not many, who know that Austin
County initiated the movement
which resulted in having an insti-
tute of this character. We are
proud of that fact because it
turned out so successfully.
The teachers were fortunate
in having such an able corps of
instructors For the high school
work Mr. Fletcher of the State
University was chosen, and he
also prepared the splendid pro-
gram used in the institute work;
for the intermediate grades Mr.
Peeler of Dallas was elected;
Miss Petty of the Sam Houston
Normal had charge of the pri-
mary work; Miss Stolzfus of the
State University presided over
the rural school section. Each
instructor is an expert in his
line of work, and no teacher
could have attended the classes
without getting something out of
them whether he wanted to or
not.
Austin County organized an
Interscholastic League and elect-
ed the following officers: Direc-
tor-General, W. H. Remmert of
Sealy; Director of Spelling G. A.
Froelich of Industry; Director of
Athletics, J. R. Spivey of Bell-
ville; Director of Declamation and
Debate, L. B. Tindall of Wallis;
Director of Essay Writing, Miss
Coffee of Bellville. Twenty-eight
schools joined for this
work in the league.

their hearts. The loved and lost
body was interned on the Svajda
Cemetery, Monday, Sept. 10, at
1 o clock. The deceased leaves
her mother, father and three
brothers to mourn.
