Brown sat on a piano long before Helen Morgan, and in 1911 he was forever singing Alexanders Ragtime Band. Come on and hear! Come on and hear! Irving Berlin, himself only 23 then, marked a whole high school generation with that enduring song. Other songs of his marked other generations, and two wars. And now My British Buddy is melodic quick silver in London where Berlins This Is the Army repeats its American success. Ever since he rose above the job of singing waiter, Berlin has composed in F sharp. That is a toughie, six black keys hard to pick out, and only two easy white fellows.

For all wheat ground in the Pacific coast area, the DFS will pay 14 cents a bushel. Outside of the Pacific region, 16 cents per bushel will be cents a paid on hard wheat, 5 bushel on soft wheat, and 6 cents a bushel on durum wheat. As a basis for payment, DFS announced that millers must subtract the current market prices for wheat from the price used by OPA in figuring flour ceilings. Payments will be made to millers each month, with disbursements based on the rate in effect at the time the flour is sold. Flour Ceilings Under new OPA regulation, maxi- mum prices were established for all kinds of wheat flour on the millers level, with the family product ranging from $3.70 a hundred pounds in western Colorado to $5.23 in North Carolina. Prices on hard wheat flour are highest in the Middle West producing section, with Iowas ceilings on low and high protein output $3.31 and $3.38 per hundred pounds; Illinois, Wisconsin and northern Michigan, $3.34 and $3.54, and Minnesota, $3.34 and $3.54, plus a proportional rail rate from Minneapolis. Delivered prices on cake flour and other soft wheat bakery flour milled in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin or Iowa were set at $3.67 and $3.77 a hundred pounds, plus the rail rate from Spokane. In other states, prices vary from $4 to $4.90 for cake flour, and $3.10 and $4.31 for soft wheat bakery flour. .
