Some children are utterly broken
down physically and mentally by
over education; others have no educa.
tion at all. OF the twain, the former
ri mor to be pitied. The uneducat-
eli can afterward educate themselves;
but children who had the vitality and
spirits of their youth dragooned out
of them by martinez teachers can
never repair the damage that has
been done to their bodies and minds
BY everlasting.

TWO MILLIONS A MONTH.

The Minneapolis millers are turning
out 100, 1000 barrels of flour weekly, the
largest production on record. This
involves the grinding of 100000 bar
rels of wheat weekly, costing in
round figures half u million dollars.
Even this great output is steadily in
creasing and the mills will presently
be running 100000 bushels every day.
The increased production is stimulat-
ed by the export demand, the en-
larged output all going abroad. This
is all the better for u side. The
more labor we a put on our pro-
ducts and the further We can advance
the process of manufacture before ex-
porting them, the more profit to us in
many ways. To export wheat is very
well, but to export flour is twice as
well. And the best Of it all is that
the crop prospects of the present
season warrant the prophecy that this
milling boom a be kept up for a
long time to come. Europe is hungry
and it is to be Americas privilege TO
feed her. She can well afford to pay
for it, and we can stand it if she can.
A furry on the produce exchange
now and then may squeeze the specu-
but as long as the crops grow
the farmers need not fear. The world
