You Ought to Know
How Much
There's a big difference in flours just as there Is a
difference in wheat, and you know there is a decided
difference in wheat. One brings $1.00 a bushel, another
90 cents, another 80 cents. The difference is a difference
in bread-making qualities. We use the very highest
grade of Kansas Hard Wheat, which is rich in gluten.
Gluten is the bread-maker. It helps the flour take up
moisture. The more water your flour will take up the more bread it will make.

POLITICS
THREE GAMES PLAYED.
Divide With Charles City and Lose
to Harmony.
FIRST AT CHARLES CITY.
The spirit of fight and liveiiness dis
played by the Cresco boys was worthy
of praise. Notwithstanding their de
feat by the fast Keystones they enter
ed the battle with vigor and great de
termination. The boys played an er
rorless game and secured eight bingles.
Their opponents also put up a stiff
game—played an errorless game and
getting eight singles. Johnson, for
Charles City, pitched a great game,
but in one pinch fuilc-d to hold Cresco
safe. Charles City tallied in the sec
ond and fourth. In the second inning
Davis doubled to left field and went to
to second on a sacrifice by Garzee. He
then came home on Crane's timely
single. In the fourth, by bunching
hits, another score was added. At this
period of the game it looked like a vic
tory for the locals, but Cresco started
their run getting in the sixth. In this
inning Hill hit the sphere to the hay
field for a home run. In the seventh,
Dougherty opened with a single and
scored on Blake's triple to center field.
This tied up the score and Cresco nosed
out their opponents in the following
inning. Blake got on and was sacri
ficed to second by Adams. Then Cretz
meyer showed himself to be a pinch
hitter by driving Blake home with a
timely single. The score:
Cresco outplayed their opponents in
all parts of the game, securing nine
hits to their seven and making but one
error to their two miscues.
Cresco's only score came in the third
inning when Cretzmeyer hit the ball
to hay field for a homer. Charles City
tallied in the second and sixth innings.
In the second Neistrum doubled and
scored on Cresco's single. In the sixth
Metz after a fingle scored on Neis
trum's triple to right center.
The score:
Cresco....0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 9 1
Chas. City 01000100 0 2 7 2
Home run—Cretzmeyer.
Three base hits—Neistrum
Two base hits—Neistrum.
Struck outs-By Greene 8, by Hatch 4,
Base on Balls—By Greene 1, Hatch 3.
LOSE TO BLEXRUD'S TRIBE.
The third game with Harmony was a
loss to Cresco^owing to a lack of pinch
hitting. On the defense Cresco played
as strong a game as their opponents,
but when hits meant runs they failed to
hit the sphere safely. "Helly's single in
the second inning with the bases full
scored two runs which was enough to
assure a victory. In the seventh in
ning they added another tally by
bunching five hits. The feature of the
game was Blakes' one handed grab of
Brokken's liner when men were on 2nd
and third. Isaacs pitched a good game
allowing eight bingles and fanning
seven. His failure to scatter the hits
was all that beat him while the fail
ure of his team mates to hits in runs
must be brought into consideration.
The score:

Home run—Hill.
Three base hit- -Blake.
Sacrifice hits—Crane, Metz.
Struck outs—By Johnson 6, by San
ders 2, by Hatch 3.
SECOND AT CHARLES CITY.
The second game was of the same
nature as the first—very interesting
and full of excitement. This game was
a robbery pure and simple by the Chas.
City management. Bob Brush, the
gentleman who umpired the first game,
was not permitted to handle the indi
cator in the second game because of
his honesty. A man, ignorant of in
side base ball, was trotted out by
manager Green to help him win the
second game, and this he accomplished
in the second inning. With the bases
full, two men out and three balls and
two strikes on the batter the pitcher
delivered the ball to the batter but the
catcher ran up in front of the base and
having caught the ball tagged the run
ner coming in from third base. The
umpire confessing his ignorance called
the runner out instead of allowing the
batter to walk and thereby force in the
man on the third.

Discontinue Rural Routes.
The following copied from the Mas
sena (Iowa) Echo, indicates that the
government is making good its threat.
Some people looked upon this as a
threat that would not be carried out,
but part of a route out of Corning has
been discontinued and a route near
Macon, Mo., has been suspended for
a period of three months. The depart
ment is in earnest and when a case of
bad roads is called to their attention
they will look into the matter and if
the cause is not remedied they will act.
The rural delivery comes as near being
a special privilege as anything we know
of. The patrons get their mail delivered
free of charge, and the cancellations
off the route do not come near paying
for the service. People residing in
town are compelled to go to the office
and get their mail and pay for a box
besides. Some of the patrons out ot
Massena drag their roads and keep
them in condition for travel, that is
when the weather will permit. Then
others never do anything. In case a
route is discontinued, the ones who
drag their road suffer the same as the
ones who never drag their roads. You
had better do a little work on your
road if you want your service continued.
If you haven't got a drag, borrow one,
use your wife's rolling pin, flat iron, or
anything, so you drag them. —Iowa City

Chautauqua Commences.
The Chautauqua opened yesterday
afternoon. The tent did not arrive
till 1:15 and as a result the program
was late in commencing. Dr. Cadman
and Sarah Wathena Brown and her
choir boys were ready to commence as
soon as the tent was up and the seats
placed. A large crowd was on hand,
eight hundred tickets sold by the busi

weather the Chautauqua will doubtless
be a huge success.
