NEW MILL!
To our Customers, Friends, and
the Public Generally:

To our Customers, Friends, and
the Public Generally:
The High Hin Milling and Grain
Co., after 80 years In the business
ut High Hill, Mo-, have remodeled
their mill three different times, dur
ing that period, In order to keep
abreast with the times, and to
keep their mill In shape to produce
the best -four that could be made.
They first started with n simple
hand bolt, where every n had to
bolt their own flour. Their trade
has now made IL necessary for
them to again increase the capacity
Of their mill, but before making
any changes. they made Thorough
investigation and concluded to
place In their mill, only the LATEST
AND MOST APPROVED MACHINERY
for making FIRST CLASS FLOUR, and
they are now installing the famous
Plansiftcr System.
With the use of this sitter, we
are able to produce for our custo-
mcrs, n flour which II purer,
stronger and with a better color
than any flour heretofore offered
In this market; a Hour that will
make more loaves Of better bread
than any -four made on any other
system OF machinery.
We respectfully ask a fair and
impartial trial of u new outfit.
Yours very truly,

JUDGE PARKER THINKS
He IS BIG ENOUGH
MAN FOR THE JOB

- Judge Parker has spoken at last
He has opened his mouth and declared
THAT 8he thinks he is a big enough man
Ito be President OF the United States.
5It tbs true the judge was not speaking
for publication. and it would not be
quite fair to hold him responsible for
aI1stbathe is alleged to have said. But
his remarks, which come to hand
through the Kindness OF one Of lis
friends, are Interesting and may start
some good nstured discussion, writes
Walter WeEman in the Chicago Rec
Sord-Hera1d.
srh is friend,sa lawyer of New Yorl:
city, has known the Judge many years,
They were boys together. Not long
: ago the lawyer was at Albany to argue
case before the Court of Appeals,
and as the court adjourned for recess
Judge Parker sent his friend note
suggesting that they have luncheon to-
gether for old times sake. During
the meal the talk was of the most Ia
smiliar and informal sort, as may be
judged by the report of it which the
lawyer gives. He asked Judge Parker:
How do you feel over the prospect
that you may become President of the
united States2 Do you think you can
manage sucha big job2"
have no doubt about it, replied
Justice Parker. 81 have no fear that
my lack Of familiarity with life Ut
Washington will seriously handicap
me. II am elected j believe can
fiIl the job. can learn it. There
are men from whom one may learn
"a great deal about the Presidency be-
fore taking the office, and the rest viii
come after one gets in. I feel about
sSthe possibility that l may become
President of the United States just
as#I did when | took the office OF
chief Justice of the Court of Appeals.
S@ISrealized that was the youngest man
:Son the bench, and l said to myself:
js3 & Parker, what you want to do IS
ito so slow for time and keep your
mouth pretty well shut till you get
onto your job. And 1 followed that
rule. am following it now as TO this
Presidential talk and viii continue to
follow it for a time. There is one
thing Ifeel sure Of added Judge Par
ker, according to his lawyer friend.
5.sand this is that no matter what hap
pens nothing can swell by head

Charles Conley, a life convict, who
was sent to the insane asylum at Spen-
Ger about months ago, was returned
to the penitentiary last evening, after
having been pronounced cured. Con
ley was apparently glad to get back
10 his Old quarters and greeted his
former acquaintance cheerfnlly up
on entering the Institution. COnley
was not only insane, but his nervous
system was in a bad state before he
was sent to the asylum. He was very
strong in his likes and dislikes. His
disposition towards most OF the con-
victs and some of the guards was vi
cious and he would not have hesitated

an opportunity. He had, however, a
strong liking for Captain Dawson,
whose every command he appeared to
take delight in obeying. He always
wore string about his neck to which
was attached a small bell which
amused him as rattle amuses babe
