WHEAT is KING.
Has Been Principal Food for Human
Race for Years.

The enormous wheat crop of 1905 and
| the agitation for pure food legislation
now going on naturally attract the at
tcntion of the thoughtful man or wom-
| an to the worlds greatest food prod
uct.
For five thousand years before the
| Christian era whole wheat was eaten
| by the Jews and it has been the princi,
pal food of the greater part of the hu-
man race since the beginning of the
| Christian era. The science OF man has
never been able to improve upon cook
| ed whole wheat as Il food for the COM
plete and perfect nourshment of the hu-
man body
The total crop of winter wheat and
spring wheat in the United States for
| bushels. In Nebraska alone the yield of
winter wheat and spring wheat is plac-
| ed at 4l.5S9,000 bushels. Some inter
esting facts are revealed by the crop
reports, facts that will be a revela-
| ton to most people. For instance, the
| secretary of the board of agriculture of
Massachusetts says: "No wheat grown
| in Massachusetts in 1905 so far as this
office has knowledge The secretary
of the state board of agriculture of Con-
necticut writes a wheat field would
be almost a curiosity practically none
grown here"
And yet the total crop reaches 72O,-
100000 bushels! And what becomes of
this immense crop of wheat? To be
sure most of it is ground by the millers
into white flour. But an increasing
quantity of it goes every year into
breakfast cereals and other products in
which the whole wheat berry is used.
The white -four miller discards the best
part of the berry i'll order to give us
white flour. The increasing use OF whole
wheat foods is gratifying evidence OF
increasing dietetc knowledge OH the
part of the plain people. Even Japan
is reaching out to America and Argen-
tina for more wheat. Her army bis
emit used in the recent unpleasantness
with Russia. was one fourth rice and
three fourths wheat. Over at Port Hur-
on. Michigan, the other day IA cargo OF
100000 bushels was being loaded for
the shredded wheat concern at Niagara
Falls. This product consists merely of
cooked whole wheat drawn out into fine
shreds and baked 1t is said that this
concern used up nearly two thousand
bushels day. Thousands of bushels
are also used at Battle Greek and other
centers of the breakfast cereal indus
try-to say nothing of the great guam
titles used in the manufacture of whole
wheat flour.
All. of which shows that the peopleSale
learning the wholesomeness and nuhl-
tive value of the whole wheat. And it
is a good time to learn the food value
of our great American staple-in these
DAYS of canned foods and preserved
meats-when the people are clamoring
for laws to protect them from adulterat-
ed and misbranded foods.

WILL VISIT MINNEAPOLIS.
President Roosevelt Proposes to At
tend the G. A. r. Encampment.

President Theodore Roosevelt will
attend the G. A. R. encampment to be
held in Minneapolis next August. Only
an unforeseen event of national import
ance will prevent him from carrying out
this plan.
President Roosevelt himself intimated
this to Wallace G.. Nye, secretary of the
public affairs committee OF the Mime
apolis Commercial club, last Friday in
Washington.
Whether the president is able to
come or not it was learned that Con-
gresham Nicholas Longworth and his
bride have practically decided to spend
at least two days in Minneapolis en-
campment week.
This was the most important G. A. R.
encampment news brought home by
Secretary Nye Monday.
Commander Tanner of the G. A. K.
told Mr.. Nye that the coming encamp-
ment would unquestionably be the great
est in the history of the Grand Army.

FOUND THE MISSING MONEY.
Sum Which Suicide Was Short lo-
Gated In Closet.

Pittsburg, Feb 2s.-While helping to
tear down an old frame house at All
Larimer avenue, an Italian laborer this
afternoon found an old cigar box III Sc
cret closet, containing $4,000. The box
was turned over to A. Deslmonl, a
plumber of Larimer avenue, who had
bought tne property and was having
the house razed. The money was III
gold coin and bank notes.
The house was once occupied by J. w.
Nolan. a we'll known business man who
was cashier for lumber company. Fiji
teen years ago Nolan committed suicide
in the house, and afterward it was found
that he was short in his accounts to the
extent of $4,000. 1t is believed that
Nolan, after having taken the money,
repented of his crime and ended his life

TOLAND WILL BRING SUIT
Business University Man Proposes to
Make Oregon Hump Some.

La Crosse, Wis, Feb. Charging
that the state of Oregon is turning down
all land certificates, good as well as
forged, in which S. A. d. Puter played
any part, +. j. Toland, whose fifteen
certificates, covering 400 acres of land,
were rejected as worthless by the land
board at Salem, Ore, will bring suit
against the state to force it to prove
that the papers were forged. When Mr..
Toland was shown the Associated Press
dispatch relative to the action of the
land board he said:
Il never had any dealing with Horace
Mckinley. He is not friend of mine
in question for services as a handwrit-
ing expert at the land fraud trials. The
certificates were transferred to me
in 1904 in La Crosse to secure loan.
They were given by S. A. Puter, with
whom / had dealings. If the fifteen Ger
tificates should be rejected by the state
of Oregon | would still be ahead on my
investment.
But my attorneys have advised me
to await the final action of the state Of
Oregon and if the certificates are reject
ed, to bring suit to make the safe prove
that the documents are forged. We have
come to the conclusion that the state
has decided to reject all certificates
which passed through Puter's hands,
without further investigation. We know
that Puter sold some good land certifi
Gates. During the trials it was shown
that forged paper all bore a certain wat
er mark Not one if the fifteen recent
ly sent to the land board, which | Sc
cured from Puter, bore that mark. The
decision of the land board is not final
and we are awaiting final action of the
state before bringing suit

PAPER CUTTING MACHINE.
Free Press Puts in New One to Ac-
commodate Increasing Business.

The Free Press Printing company has
place in is job and binding department
a new paper cutting machine of the lat
est and most up-to-date pattern, which
will materially facilitate the work of
cutting all kinds of paper. The new ma
chine was made necessary by the IN
crease of business in these departments.
and is capable of doing fully third
more work than the cutter it dispaces.
With this added machine, The Free
Press feels that its present equipment
is excelled by no printing or publishing
plant in Minnesota, excepting possibly
one or two in the twin cities. The pub
lie is invited to see the new paper cut
ter.

It will be noticed in this issu

It will be noticed in this issue
from the appraised values placed
upon school lands offered for sale
this year in this county that land
values, as the state board of ap-
praisers see them, have held firm
enough during the past year to
warrant a slight advance. 1t will
be remembered that during the
last two sales of school land the
buyers were practically all farm
ers owning farms adjoining the
school sections, and the deserip-
tons sold were the ones carrying
the very highest appraised value.
No better evidence could be Of
fered of the fact that present
land values are on an exceedingly
firm basis. These farmers who
have been buying school land de-
sire to secure it for it's intrinsic
value and not for any speculative
possibilities. Farm lands have
been yielding a net profit per
acre sufficient to warrant the
valuation placed on these lands
and more,in many instances.
