Roller Champion Flour

A@OAANA 0AAO6kARAOAA AO0SA Has for fifteen years been the favorite with the Birmingham people,
 They like it because 1t is wonderfully good flour, and because it is always good It never deceives anyone-never disappoints the purchasers
 It doesn't try to be awful good one day and then make up for it by being terriby bad the next.
 It's so natural for 1t to be good that it never thinks of being anything else. Those who have used it would be shocked if anyone suggested that it could be poor. They have used it so long and it has proven faithful on so many occasions that the idea of it ever being anything but the best flour on earth never occurred to them.
 And they're right about it.
 It has never gone back on anyone-and it never will
 You trust Us for that.
 We watch it better than cat does mouse. We buy only the very best Michigan winter wheat, employ only the best millers and use only the best machinery.
 The demand for Roller Champion" flour is so great that sometimes we can't make it fast enough
 Nevertheless we would like to have YOu try it. We'd like to have you use it right along, and if you try it, we're pretty sure you'll thank for making it and telling you about 1t, too
 You can buy it anywhere-all the dealers sell it. They would not think they had an up-todate store if they didn't. VALLEY CITY MILLING CO.,, Makers.

WATER SPOILED CALAMITY.
Chiva1rous Man Wondered Why the
Women Were So Unap-
preciatlve.

On a certain trip of certain North
river ferryboat a middle-aged COM
muter may be seen nearly every even-
ing hurrying into the forward part Of
the women's cabin and taking seat,
only to relinquish it with Il bow and
smile to some pretty girl when the
other seats are filled.
So intent was he on recent stormy
evening watching for an attractive
woman to whom he might offer the
seat that he did not notice leak in
the roof of the cabin that was sprink-
ling his hat.
Presently stunning girl came with
the crowd and the gallant commuter
arose and graciously bowed her into
on the woman's toque, and, frowning
at the smiling gallant, she got up and
pressed through the crowd.
The commuter seemed puzzled, but
he resumed his seat, again oblivious
of the leak, and in a moment offered
his place to another woman, whose
smile of thanks vanished quickly as
Sne SeLJ1eu Tar Ddck III the seat anu q
raindrop tumbled on her uptilted nose.
She, too, rose and moved away and
the crestfallen man again sunk into
the seat, while the other passengers
began to litter.
Once more he tried his little act Of
gallantry, offering his place this time
to middle-aged woman whose elab-
crate hat thus came under the increas-
ing stream from the leaky roof, and
she jumped up quickly, looking daggers
at the man. and moved away.
Still failing to observe the offending
leak, says the New York Times, the
commuter dropped into the seat and
plunged into his evening paper, when
the explanation came in the wet
blotches which the rain soon made on
the newspaper, and the commuter
Joined in the laughter of his fellow
passengers as he once more vacated
the seat-this time not offering the
place to one of the fair sex.

Unto his mate. so brown. sedate.
Amidst the sage coquettfng near.

Majestic peaks now rear their cressS
Above the sinking sea OF mist,
Whose fleecy pillows roseate grow.
When by the ardent sunbeams kissed:
And far and near in outline clear
Great rugged ridges grandly rise
Out of the night as floods of light
Break on them from the kindiing skies.
The vale below now spreads to view
Its peaceful slopes and hazy nooks.
And here and there in canyon aisles
Like silver seams flow flashing brooks;
In splendor grand Ger all the land
The suns fresh glory streams abroad.
Oh, vision rare! Divinely fair
A picture from the hand of God.

burden of prayers was for open doors,
and God has set the open doors every

to-day which if observed and faithfully

cry throughout the world that "thev

begin to be turned rightside up then.
But Christians are too busy planning
trips through the Macedonias and to
