The introduction of American
-four in China several years ago is
a growing Importance to the flour
trade of the United States. The
consumption has increased FIVE
fold in the curse of three years,
being estimated at $5,OoO,Oo0 in
1900. As American flour becomes
more generally used in the Orient,
tie surplus wheat raised in the
border states will be practically
absorbed, which means agreater
demand and better prices for the
product through the Middle West
states.

Law and Order.

The convictions secured at

the turning point as it were

increasing population Mclean

new era ard on the threshold. of
a new order of things. Eternal
vigilance is the true price of
liberty-and the property of
every citizen must be accorded
the protection that the law
contemplates be the costs or
consequences what they may.
Those who do not wish to con-
form their views or ideas to
the law have no place and
should find no encouragement
in a we'll regulated community
and if we wish to grow,
prosper and become a power
for good, a fearless and law
abiding community we must
have. Let every good citizen

officers of the law in the per.

do NOT try to retard justice,
be fair, be just to yourself and
to your fellow man and to the
community in which you live
and move. BY no act of yours
hide or shield the crime of
anotner--be not an active
criminal. nor an abettor of
crime. Let no harsh words
fall from your lips, be prudent
and conservative-yet be fear

him who swears falsely or per-

This is duty which every

the lack of conviction in the
past in tits respect has brought
this state of affairs upon us.
From lack of convictionsit has
grown so to speak until it has
become a menace. Lack OF
prosecution and conviction
breeds contempt for the law,
so under these conditions
young men of uncertain tend
encies-at first generally under
the guidance of older and
wiser heads-have found cattle

hard, honest labor. This change

Of the table a great dish of chestnuts,

roasted chestnuts he would tell us
tale. Then he told of how when he was
a boy he fell in the creek and our father
jumped in and helped him out, and an
other time when he grew up his house
burned, and father and mother took
him with his wife and Sally into their
own home, and kept them until his
house was rebuilt. Then when Mrs.
Holmes died, leaving Sally little girl,
mother used to care for her and helped
him get along until she was old enough
to do the work herself, and so he ram

Father spoke up and said: There,
there. Silas, that will do We wondered
what was coming. Silas took the big
dish of nuts and asked father to empty
them on the hearth and as the nuts
rolled out a big, yellow envelope fell on

on it was written: "A Merry Christ
