All Flour Must Be Labeled.

The pure food law goes into effect
January / and flour sold in Wisconsin
must be labeled to show whether 1t is
a blend 81 winter and spring wheat or
the clear article, that the customer
may know what he is buying. Millers
throughout the country have been no
titled of the requirement and will
hasten to comply. There is Kansas
wheat, western wheat Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Canadian wheats, each
having a certain and distinguishing
quality The Durham" wheat, an i'm
ported Russian grain as coarse and
inferior, is 20 cents bushel cheaper
than spring wheat. Flour from this
wheat sells at ten cents per sack less
than the best flour in the various
stores. Heretofore it has borne some
high sounding name but in the year
1907 it must bear the name allowed
by law. "The finest wheat is grown
on irrigated lands" said G. L. Dear
born, of the Stoughton mills, "but the
people out west don't know how to
produce good flour, so it is sent to
Minneapolis and other points at low
price per bushel. The effort to under
sell the other fellow makes demand
for the cheaper grades of wheat"

"MY LITTLE SISTER CAME"
al Told Her | Guessed My Fortune
Was PRETTY Well Told Now"

South Otselic, June 23d, 1906, Sun
day Night-My Dear Chester: I was
glad to hear from you and surprised as
well. / thought you would rather
have my letters affectionate, but yours
was so businesslike that l have come
| to the conclusion that you wish mine
| to be that way. / may tell you,
| though, that am not a business wom-
an, and so presume that these letters
will not satisfy you any more than
| the others did. 1 would not like to
have you think was not glad to hear
from you, for I was very glad, but it
was not the kind of letter had hoped
to get from you.
I think, pardon me, that I under
stand my position and that it is rather
unnecessary for you to be so fright
fully frank in showing it to me. I
can see my position as keenly as any
one, think. You say you were sur
prised, but you thought would be
discouraged. don't see why should
be discouraged. What words have I
had from you since came home to
encourage me?
You write as though / was the one
to blame because the girls wouldn't
come. invited them here because /
thought l wouldn't be so lonesome. I
am sure I cannot help it because
mamma is away. AS to the financial
difficulty, / am the one who will be
most affected by that. You say your
trip" Won't it be your trip as well as
mine? 1 understand how you feel
about the affair. You consider me as
something troublesome that you both
cred with. You think if it wasn't for
me you could do as you liked all sum-
mer and not be obliged to give up
your position there. / know how you
feel, but once in awhile you make me
see these things great deal more
plainly than ever.
Chester, don't suppose you will
ever know how I regret being all this
trouble to you. l know you hate me,
and / can't blame you one bit. My
whole life is ruined, and in measure
yours is, too. Of course, it's worse
for me than for you, but the world
and you, too, may think 1 am the one
to blame, but somehow I can't, just
simply can't think that am, Chester.
said No so many times, dear. OF
course, the world will not know that,
but it's true all the same.
My little sister came up just min
ute ago with her hands full of daisies
and asked if / didn't want my fortune
told. I told her guessed it was
pretty well told now. don't want
you to mind this letter, for am blue
tonight and get SO mad when the girls
write things about me. Your letter
was nice, and / was glad to get it. /
simply feel tout of sorts" tonight
When you are cross, just think I
am sick and can't help all this If
you were me, you couldn't help find
ing fault, I know. I don't dare think
how glad I will be to see you. If you
wrote me letter like this I wouldn't
write in a long time, but know you
won't tease me in that way. You will
just forget it and be your own dear
self. You know always am cross in
the beginning. It was that way Sat-
urday night, so don't be angry, dear.

Chester, / came home because
thought / could trust you. / don't
think now l will be here after next
Friday. This girl wrote me that you
seemed to be having an awfully good
time and she guessed that my coming
home had done you good, as you had
not seemed so cheerful in weeks. She
also said that you spent most of your
time with that detestable Grace Hill.
Now, Chester, she does not know
dislike Miss Hill and so did not
write that because she knew it would
make me feel badly, but just because
she didn't think. l should have
known, Chester, that you did not care
for me. But somehow l have trusted
you more than anyone else. When
ever the other girls have said hateful
things to me of you l could not be-
lieve them. You told me-even prom
ised me-you would have nothing to
do with her while l was gone.
Perhaps, Chester, you don't think
or you can't help making me grieve,
but wish things were different You
may say you do, too, but you can't
possibly wish so more than I. / have
been very brave since I came home,
but tonight l am very discouraged.
Chester, if I could only die. l know
how you feel about this affair and |

troubled. If die l hope you can then

tor says l will, and then you can do

The unique suggestion of Rev. Ed
ward Everett Hale, chaplain of the
United States senate, to several
the last session of the legislature for
law, providing for old age pensions,
has led to the drafting of measure
which is now in the hands of a social
ist member. The proposed measure
provides for a pension to non-criminal,
sober people over 20 years. Such
system in Germany, it is asserted, has
led to the abolition of poor houses,
and relatives of the aged are more
careful in the care and tenderness rem
dered to their people who have passed
the average span of human life and
usefulness.

the form of ballot doing away with
