American -four is popular in European
markets. and every year an increasing
proportion Of our surplus wheat is ex-
ported as flour. This is very fortunate
for this country. 1t not only gives II
profit to the millers, but ii saves for
American use the coarser yet valuable
parts OF the grain. Bran and wheat
middlngs are used to an extent that
would be impossible If we exported all
our wheat as grain. Bran is higher
yrced in this country than it is any
where else, probably, for the reason
that American farmers have corn To feed
with it. Bran and corn meal make a
better feed than either separately, both
for the fatteniug animal and for the
manure heap. By Touring our wheat
before exporting it much the most valu-
able part of the grain for maintaining
soil fertility is kept in our own country.

that Mr.. Olney will be better satisfied
with his new berth in the state depart

the head of the department of Justice
He hadn't been attorney general week
before he wished he was out of il, and
he never hesitated to talk about it rs the
greatest mistake of his life ever to have
undertaken public offices. Probably he
feels different now. because if he hadn't
been attorney general he never would
have been thought of for secretary of
state; and to be secretary of state is a
distinction almost equal TO that of being
President.

Maine Savings Banks.

The State assessors have assessed the

six months ending the last Saturday in
April. They amount to $l97 All, show
ing falling off from the previous six
months of $2,67l. But the deposits have
increased, aggregating SOS, DOB, 7sG, a
gain of S640,006
The taxes assessed against the two
savings banks in Somerset ARE SHOW
began, SO, Isl; Fairfield, 81 ,05S.
The falling off in tax is largely due to
the investment in United States bonds,
which are exempt, the new issues hav-
ing given the banks an opportunity to
procure them. One bank invested $3.50
900 in these bonds. These banks have
stood the financial straits of recent years,
admirably.

Somerset Conference.


June Il, the annual conference Of the
Congregational churches of Somerset
county was called 10 order in the pretty
chapel overlooking the rocky bed of the
picturesque Carrabassett Rev. T. &.
Mitchell of Madison, was chosen mod
orator, and Dea. X. {. Gray of the same
town was made clerk. Conference dis
patched its business i'll a very short time
and then listened to i sermon on The
Power Of the Holy Spirit 10y key. 3. Nj
nard OF Lewiston, Maine. His discourse
suggested the following heads: The
need of spiritual power: Gods search
| through the past for men fitted for re-
eeiving and using it, as Luther, Wesley.
Whitefield, etc. the continuance of his
search in the present: the possibilities
for doing good before men endned wish
power from on high.
Next came a discussion as 10 Tile
relative opportunity and responsibility
of ministers and people opened by
the Rev. Mr.. Mitchell. We might sum
up his remarks thus: That the minis
ter's greatest opportunity was that Of inn
pressing himself upon his peoples con
seriousness as Cod minister, not
theirs: and as Gods Servant to aid them
and influence them towards all good.
that the peoples opportunity and re
| sponsibility is that OF submitting to that
influence aud leadership. The second
| discussion on "Systematic Giving, WAS
| opened with a paper written and read
| by Mr.. f. l.. Powers; and the next topic
entitled. "What does church member
owe his church tnaneialiy2a was pre-
scented in Il paper 10y Dea. II. /. Tappan
of Waterville Both Of these writers
emphasized the fact that a tenth of al
ones living belongs to cod whether one
can live on nine-tenths or not. The
three questions were then thrown open
to the conference and after short dis
