GERMAN BAKER DOING HIS "BIT" IN PULASKI

It is reported that a German baker in Pulaski county is selling 16 ounce loaves of bread for 5 cents. This German baker, who conducts a small establishment, is not only loyal to America and her allies, but has enlisted his wife to help him in the bakeshop in order that he may add to their “bit”. The case is one reported to Dr. Harry E. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana, by R. S. Rogers, county food administrator for Pulaski county. Reports that “American bakers” in Medaryville were selling bread at 13 cents a loaf were investigated and found to be true, but the loaves were 24 ounces instead of 16.
