Macaronf Wheat For Bread,

l
Almost million bushels of macaroni
wheat were used last year by our mac
aroni factories. The most important
victory has been gained, however, In
demonstrating that these wheats may
be used In making the very best bread.
After several bakers had made private
tests of the -four for bread the depart
ment Of agriculture recently made a
much more thorough test on q large
scale In cooperation with one of the
largest bakers In the country. Over
200 lOaves Of the bread were sent to as
many different parties In all portions Of
the United States east Of the Rocky
mountains for examination. With each
loaf was sent another loaf made from
good North Dakota patent spring
wheat -four, no indication being given
Of the purpose Of the experiment or
what the two loaves were or how they
were made. The recipients Of these
loaves were selected as being experts
In their line OF business and were ask
ed to give their opinion of the relative
merits Of the two lOaves. The cOnsen-
sus Of opinion Of these people was to
the effect that the macaroni wheat loaf
was the better Of the two, the vote
standing 10S TO IA in its favor. This
demonstration at once opens another
large market for the gr.i. The results
were surprise to many millers and
bakers concerned In the test, though It |
was known to the writer that these |
wheats were the most popular In max
Ing bread in France and large portions
Of Russia. Dozens Of mills are now
regularly grinding the grain, both for
bread -four and for the manufacture of
macaroni. Several OF the most impor-
tant mills I'm Texas have already sig
nified their intention Of using the
wheat just as soon as 1t can be OBJ
tanned. 1t is therefore left with the
farmer to produce the wheat, which Is
a very easy matter. Any surplus Of the
grain finds at once ready sale In
France and Italy so long as 1t is OF
good quality.-M A. Carleton Before
Farmers Congress.

THE MINES,

There is considerable activity In
the new mining district at present.
Several shafts are sinking and in
every one of them good ore will be
found.
Perkins & Keasby are sinking on
their S0-acre lease of the Crawfish
land, where an exceedingly fine run
of zinc ore was found by the drill.
They are now down about 40 feet.
Goodwin & Wagner are sinking
on the Gaines Brewster lease and
have about IL or Is feet to 60 yet to
tap the ore body. Ore of exceeding
richness was found on this lease
in four drill holes.
Frank Dilloway and others from
Joplin have leased the Sunny Side
mine and installed heavy pumping
machinery. As soon as they get
the water out of the ground they
will determine whether or not to
put up a mill. If the ground
proves az rich as they expect fret
class mill will be built.
The Tom Clark shaft will be re.
opened in a few days. This is
where there is so much lead and
silicate.
Everything looks favorable for a
big mining boom.

his many friends here he said that
he, too, had some purchases to
make. True to his word he made
the purchases and on an extensive
scale. There wac a large leather.

of the family kind, used in emil

NOUS bill at Newman's was a suit

on guard throughout the day and
at 6 o'clock Monday evening he was
at the Frisco depot, when Mise
Blanchard came in from Webb
City. She was accompanied by Mrs.
Fannie Stewart, one of the teachers
in the college and her particular
friend. They went at once to the
home of D. C. Grafton and that
night the party, including Mr.. and
Mrs Grafton, were seen on the
streets completing the arrange
ments for an event which will cause
as much joy as wrath in a neigh
borhood near Baxter Syringe, for
the friends of the young couple
there wish them bon voyage.
When the 10 o'clock car left Mon
day night for Carthage the entire
party was on board. If possible, the
marriage ceremony was to have
been performed in Carthage, and at
any rate, they left Tuesday morn
ing for st. Louis. If there is any
person in the great big city Of St.
Louis who has any objection to the
union it will be voted down unani-
for they have a quorum
with them, Mrs. Stewart and Mr.. and
Mrs. Grafton having accompanied
them all of the way.
Three weeks ago sister of Miss
Blanchard, who is somewhat older
than her, eloped from her home
and was married. OF itself this was

she sent the ticket back Tuesday,
saying it was not needed. In her

tie 16-year.old daughter, Blanche,

they stepped on board and they
were as happy az the birds in June.
Charles II. Gaines, a promising
young farmer, who lives near Bax-
ter Springs and not far from the
home of Mr.. Blanchard, two miles
east of the town, has known the
Blanchard girl for several years.
They have been sweethearts since
both of them can remember and for
the past few months they have been
of one mind regarding a certain
community of interests. Neither of
them have been averse to the spirit
of union, but the parents of the gtrl
have bitterly opposed the marriage.
When they learned four weeks ago
that the young couple had planned
an elopement the old gentleman
flew into rage like the proud faith
ers in the French historical novels.
He had talk with his head.strong
daughter and when che emerged
from the conference chamber her
long, dropping lashes were wet with
tears. Still she never for one mo.
ment entertained the idea of aban-
doning the pet scheme she and her
lover had planned. She changed in
a manner that maidens are apt to
change, 80 far as moods are con-
cerned and she agreed to go off to
school when il was mentioned to
her a day or two after.
Mrs. Blanchard decided to send
her to the college at Webb City and
of course she was fitted out with a
collection of green sweaters and
Landscape, 45-degree angled hats,
besides many other things. The
wardrobe she purchased war one of
the most elaborate to be obtained
In Baxter Syringe.
A few days ago the parents of the
girl began to realize that she was
homesick and dissatisfied with her
new surroundings and they readily
agreed to allow her to quit school
two weeks ago. They did not want
her to be near Gaines, however, and
at her special request che was told
that she might visit her mothers
people in Illinois. She got the tick.

ranged that she should leave that
