During the month Of October 1898
bushels OF wheat were received from
farmers and ground into wheat by the
Johnston roller process flour mill. The
mill Is run under the exchange system
and does not do grist business. When
a customer brings in wheat 1t is tested
and he is given flour, shorts and bran In
exchange. For instance, II the wheat
brought in weighs go pounds to the
bushel, the party receives for every bushel
81 pounds of flour, ten pounds of bran
and three pounds Of shorts. II the wheat
weighs SO pounds per bushel the amount
given in return is 30 pounds Of -four, IA
pounds Of bran and six pounds shorts.
We have copied the highest and lowest

with regard TO the entertainment OF foreign and homo
officials than do the officers Of the United states Navy
This is matter which has worked many hardships
where officers Of vessels have TO take from their own
purses the cost OF entertaining officials OF their own
and other governments who visit their ships, and tho
writer recalls cruise in Europe where this extra ex-
pense averaged from Sl5 10 $50 a month upon each
officer OF the SHIP which was a vessel Of the United
states Navy. Two German vessels recently
visited Malta, and In accordance with the rule in the
German Navy, each officer received extra daily
as entertainment money, the receiving further
extra allowance OF 81 day. That is the only fair
and reasonable course; and which the officers OF
United states vessel the Baltimore in the same
port, looked upon with envy. Until some similar
rule is introduced In the United States Navy, American
oncers being human, cannot be expected to regard the
duty OF entertaining official visitors with feelings Of
unalloycd pleasure.
