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. QUARTERLY STYLE'BOOK Mott & Co.

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: v, -3 8 Cresco....0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 Chas. City 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 2 8 0 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.

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 Republican. Weather Report for June 1909. Max. temp. 68.2 deg.
