It Is In The
Wheat

Two hundred miles west, on
the new branch of the Milwau-
kee road, is a small territory
that escaped the ravages of
rust. The wheat raised there
was a fine crop of Number One
testing 571 lbs. per bushel.
We have shipped IN several
carloads of this choice wheat,
at great expense, and are
grinding same for our local
trade, being determined to
keep our VALLEY QUEEN
brand up to the highest stand
ard. This high-grade wheat
gives our -four a high quality
that is superior to any flour
that comes on this market.
"Just-as-good' flour does not
equal VALLEY QUEEN
the right kind of wheat don't
go into it.
When you buy flour, insist
on our brand, it costs no more
and is a better bread maker.

ADVICE TO A BUNCH
OF UNHAPPY LOVERS.

NEs. the love editor win try to
soothe the wounded spirits of
those who have written to her
concerning their heart troublesl OF
these there are ten women and one
man. That is about the proportion Of
women to men among people having
love troubles. To begin:
Bessie Stupid wishes to know
whether she is obliged to return the
diamond engagement ring that her
sweetheart gave her, now that the en-
gagement is broken off. oh, no, Bos-
sic! Never give up anything valuable
that you have once got a grip on. May
be you viii be engaged three or four
times more before you are really mar
ried. Now, if each lover gives you
diamond betrothal ring and if each en-
gagement lasts for some time and the
man gives you various other trinkets
before you part. don't you see that in
the course of time you will have quite a
brilliant collection of rings and other
jewels2 If you are as wise as I take
you to be you will gently steer your
various lovers presents in the direction
of brooches, rings, bracelets and other
gemmed gewgaws, looking to the stor-
ing of your jewel case.
Cyllie Softhead's lover has left her
and is paying attention to another girl
now although he has been keeping
company with Cyl1ie for a year CYL
lie is sure her heart is broken forever.
She cannot live without him, and she
fears she may even be tempted to COM
NIT suicide. Don't do it, dear! In
stead, get up early in the morning and
help your mother get the younger chill
dren ready for school. Scrub them and
curl their hair and see that their states,
pencils and books are all there and aft
er they have gone set in and wash the
dishes. Do this every morning and
after that engage in other useful
household hustle all day.
Note particularly how your mother
and married sister have to humor and
wait on your father and brother-ir-
law finding their collar buttons and
fishing the soiIed handl1erchiefs out of
their pockets and watching them like
hawk to see that they comb their back
hair properly and otherwise trotting
after them day in and day out. Just
take notice what plain, every day mat
rimony is, bald headed and fat footed

ciennes. The neck was cut round and

That is a great mistake. If you want

with a black tailor made or a gray one.
But if you have a blue costume get a
blue hat and don't think of wearing
anything else with a purple costume
but a purple hat. Thus you win al
ways give the impression Of being well
dressed.
And speaking Of purple suits, saw a
very. smart one the other day. The ma
teriaI was cloth. The three quarter
length jacket was made close fitting,
with the coat tails rounding. There was
an inner vest of white cloth, trimmed
with two rows Of tiny buttons, and over
this was buttoned q band Of the violet
cloth some six inches in width. A fiat
collar band of dark velvet completed
this very chic model With it was worn
q velvet hat trimmed with half a dozen
different shades Of roses, ranging from
pale pink to royal purple.
Another very chic street dress was OF
black cloth, with wide cuffs and revers
OF deep red silk. With this was worn
one Of those funny, very much turned

tirely filed with red roses, while a big
black aigret on the side gave an air of

want to say another thing about
the seasons tailor mades; they are
showing a variety of velvet suits in
the shop windows at very low prices.
But I say: Don't invest in a ready
made velvet suit unless you have the
money to buy a rather expensive one.
The cheap ones may look very well at
first, but they soon grow to be. oh so
shabby And please don't buy a vel
vet suit at all unless you have left over
from last year a very good cloth coat
and skirt. There is nothing 50 awful
as a fine velvet suit worn in the morn

yet you see that sort of crime COM

Year by year the price of lace and
fancy waists increases until now wo-
men pay quite a little fortune for two
or three waists to wear with their tailor
made suits, or with an odd white cloth
or wolfe skirt, which is so useful for
theater wear.
