ThtZIiight of the present 5-cent loaf has neces sarily tw-cut down until the quality of the loaf is lost. 'W-T-jinnot make a lasting, good tasting loaf of : bread fiff 1 so little dough and we cannot increase the : weightlough, because the cost of flour and other : ingrediews will not permit a living profit. We feel that our reputation will not permit us to put upon the market a loaf of bread that is not up to our standard. It is not our intention to give you a 5-cent loaf and charge you a dime for it. We are go ; ing to give you a much better quality in a ten-cent : loaf than you are now getting in two 5-cent loaves. Effective April 1st By eliminating the labor of baking the small loaves, we shall be able to spend more time on the larger loaf, and will expect to improve the quality.

Abraham I The Deoendable Store TIMELY HINTS FOR ! THE HU.UK GARDEN L'R. WASHINGTON, D. C, March 21. OuloDa, like potatoes, are a staplo crop that is crown commercially on a very extensive scale. The home ! gLrdener, however, may like to have ! a few early homegrown onions for his table, or. If space permits, he may wish to grow enough of later varieties to last his family through the winter. The onion will thrive under a wide range f clinic. tc and soil conditions, but a rich sandy ioum containing plenty of humus is best suited to it. As the crop requires shallow cultivation and it may lie necessary to resort to hand work in order to keep it free from weeds, It is very desirable that the land sho lid be In such condition that it is easily worked. As a general rule, it Is well to have the crop follow some i other one that has been kept under the hoe and free from weeds the pre viouB season. In the north, seed is sown as early in the spring as the soil ran be ibrought to the proner condition. There are three methods of propa gating onions: the first, by sowing the seed In rows where the crop is to grow; second, by sowing the seed In specially prepared beds and trans planting the seedlings to the open ground; and third, by planting sets which have been kept through the winter. Onions planted from sets will ri li eu earlier than those from seed sown In the fields. When the transplant ing method Is used, the seed is sown In greenhouses, hotbeds, cola frames, or specially prepared beds at the rate of 3 Mi to 4 pounds for each acre to be planted. The seedlings are trans planted when they are somewhat smaller than a lead pencil and rather stocky. The root' end of the seed ling is pushed into the soil with one linger and the soil Is then firmed about the plant. The seed is sown thickly in drills about 12 to 14 Inches apart. Aftor the plants become established, they are thinned to 2 or 3 inches apart. The maturity of the bulbs may be hastened by preventing the continu ed growth of the tops. This is some times accomplished by rolling an empty barrel over tho rowb and breaking down the tops. After these are practically dead, the onion bulbs may be pulled up by hand from the soli and spread In a dry, well-ventl-latod place to cure. f Castle i " 1 i . :f fir';" VPATRIA J: ',V ' airaawas tiinsfi THl'ltSKAY AXI Kill HAY AT TIIK M.WKSTH' FARM IjOAN HOARD RATES. WASHINGTON, March 20. The federal farm loan board adopted a resolution fixing a rate of 4 V4 per cent to be paid on farm loan bonds to be issued as a means of raising money to lend to farmers. At I ho same time the board fixed a rate ot 5 per cent to be paid by farmers on farm mortgages for the use of funds. The difference of one-half of one per cent Is to be used to pay the ex-! penses of operating the system. The; board hopes ultimately to bring this margin down to onc-olghth of one' per cent.
