LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER PATrE THREE SETS FORTH m COST ITEMS Factors Entering into Iliv.ul Making Still Mm-h ALovi-Pre-war Lewi, Says Ma: rhersou , f Good wapes for the bakers. high coBt of flour and sugar and a bread law enacted during Hie war requir ing all bread loaves to be ono pound in weight 2-1 hours after baking, are tJk the causes entering info the cost of bread today which makes it impos- wine to reduce the price ut this time, according to John C. Mael'her Bon, of MacPherson's bakery. "Bofore the war flour solK at $4.50 a barrel and sugar sold at $4.50 a liundied pounds. Today Hour sells at $8.50 a barrel ami t,ug ar at J8 a sack," Mr. Macl'herson . declared today in discussing the cost of making bread and other baked goods. 1 llefore the war we scaled our bread to 12 ounces before baking, and now we must scale it to 18 oun ces in order to meet the require ments of the bread law that iciiires the bread to be one pound in weight 24 hours after baking. Mem-h bands received $18 ae week before the war and today 1 haven't a baker who isn't receiving less than $45 a week wag es. So you can see that everything catering into our costb has increased In price." In discussing the price or bread In Washington and oilier , slates where. It has been repotted that bread is being reduced in price, Mr. MacIMier- 80 n called attention to the abseiicl of a bread law in those stales. In I Rome places, lie said; loaves were In Ing scaled Into the pun liTn an" pound In weight, whierT would ineitn still less weight when the bread baked and a day old. The inanufaciurers can set their own weight in places where there -hi no bread law( and (hero are bread laws in only two or three slates, but , in Oiegon the housewife is always assured of a uniform size loaf weigh ing a pound, even though she ninyjpjveu at Eagles' have to pay a cent or two more per loaf. n Local News In Brief HEAVY Y ELD Leaves for l.ostinc Mrs. C.
