"I have baked twice your sample of Garland FIOUJ, finishing the last one today. In making the test ever}' operation of the baker is followed closely from the mixing of the dough, the proving and forming, entering the oven and finally the weighing of the bread. I find that this is a Beautiful Family Flour of Good Texture and Nice Color." (Name on Application.) Made in Watertown by the W. H. Stokif Milling Clmpany WATERTOWN SOUTH DAKOTA t, Roofing We know that Vulcanite will carry off the honors. That is why we furnish the tests. We are content to let Vulcanite Roofing sell itself. It is good enough and worthy enough and reasonably enough priced to be its own best salesman. Sixty years ago, the first Vulcanite Roof was marketed.

Glass should im mediately get up a patent on a sticky fly paper. A girl has to know a henp more about dancing than cooking to get a husband, and still more about cooking than dancing to keep him. The vermiform appendix is of wrrenl value to the owner, but it has been a source of much revenue to the physicians who remove it. Many men who are natural knocjcers, think they have accomplished enough by refraining from using the hammer—and don't have to boost. When the married women get back from vacations—they usually get some pointers from their neighbors regarding the conduct of their stay-at home hubbies. *, That wasn't so slow of the youlig lady, who, when a farmer tried, to kiss her, saying it was his first experience of the kind, replied that she was no agricultural experiment station. Bill Nye, the famous humorist, was once asked what was the differ ence between himself and his undershirt. He answered: "One is Bill Nye, and the other is nigh Bill." When Byrne and Cull get into the ring with Geo. W. Egan there will be nothing to it any more than there was in the Gotcli-Hackenschmldt wrestling match. Egan will just naturally take those light-weights and stand them on their heads. That's all there will be to the contest. An exchange says the biggest trust on earth is the country newspaper. It trusts everyone, gets cussed for trusting, mistrusted for cussing, and if it busts for trusting gets cussed for busting. There is only one way to bust the trust—pay your subscription. Last week Mrs. Guy Wilson, wife of our popular hirsute manipulator, advertised for a servant girl, and made it plain in tlie ad. that the girl who accepted the situation must go home nights. Guy's many friends are wondering whether it is a shortage of bedrooms in the Wilson house hold that is the cause of this request. Two Jews were seated together on train when the train was held up. The highwaymen started thru the dar taking everything the passengers had.

A man in Michigan by the name of Moon got married and there was a change in the moon. In due time his wife presented him with a daugh ter and that wae^a new moon. Then he went to town and got drunk for joy and that was a full moon. When he started for home he had 25c in his pocket and that was the last quarter. His mother-in-law met him at the door and there was a total eclipse of the moon—he saw stars, We thought there was a warm day or ttfo recently in this section but listen to the following from an Iowa paper: It is so hot and dry that wa gons are going around with their tongues out. Ice has to be soaked all night before it is wet enough to make lemonade. The cat-fish kicked up such a dust in the bed of the stream, that the river had to be sprinkled before you can go fishing. A spark from an engine set fire to a pond and burned up a lot of bullfrogs. The ground is so hard and dry that crawfish holes are being pulled up and used for gas pipes. MARY Mary had a little waist, A six-incli one, you know And everywhere the fashions went, That waist was sure to go. Her waist, with woman always is One of her patent charms. Sometimes it is around her knees, Sometimes beneath her arms. Shrouds have no pockets. Remember we pass this way but once and when we step into the Valley of the Shadow, all our earthly belongings will be left behind. Not a cow or a sheep or an acre of land or a dollar of money, will go into our grave with us why then should men race thru life in a mad struggle for gold, brushing all the better things aside, when at last it must be unloaded at the tomb? Would it not be better to smile a little and do a few good deeds as we go along?

THE SUM OF LIFE. Nothing to do but work, Nothing to eat but food, Nothing to wear but clothes, To keep one from going nude. Nothing to breathe but air, Quick as a flash 'tis gone Nowhere to fall but off, Nowhere to stand but on. Nothing to comb but hair, Nowhere to sleep but bed. Nothing to weep but tears, Nothing to bury but deaji,... Nothing to sing but songs. Ah, well, alas! alack! Nowhere to go but out. Nowhere to come but back. •Nothing to see but sights, Nothing to quench but thirst. Nothing to have but what we've got «r Thus through life we are cursed.
