We Make The
Best Flour

Churchs Ferry, N. D. Feb. "a,

Devils Lake Milling Co., D evils
Lake, N. d.
Dear Sir:-As / have seen
quite a few articles in the
Devils Lake papers about your
flour mill that so / concluded to
give your flour a trial. So /
bought a sack of your flour from
Mr.. Morgridge at the Harbor,
and we find that is the best flour
that ever was used in our home,
and we give you people credit
for putting before the people the
best grade of flour that can be
put out of any flour mill in the
States, and we wish and predict
that in a short time when the
people have found out what
grade Of flour you put out of your
mill, the people will see that it
makes the best of bread and af-
ter trying the same once, they
will stick by you and give you
the trade and will patronize you
as long as you are able to put on
the market such a high grade of
flour. Now, Brother Farmers,
just do as / have done, give this
grand -four a trial and you will
see what a difference there is in
this -four and that which you
have been using in the past.
The first time I am in the Lake
/ will come and have a look at
your mill and outfit.
Respectively,
Louis Haase.

The manufacture OF matches is one Of
the great industries Of the world. Be-
fore the civil war there was not a
railroad in the United States that would
carry them as either freight or ex-
press, as they were considered too dam
gerous. They a to be transported by
wagon or canal. But all this has been
revolutioaized. lust now the output
OF the match trust C day in the year
is 1900. 900 paper OF strawboard boxes.
containing from sixty-fve to 500
matches each. The annual product
quickly runs n billions. The biggest
factory in the world Is in England.
and belongs to the American corpora
ton controlling IS per cent. of our home

"Cheer up. wife. Give ma your hand
that's it-what?-mind the bars. put

A smile lowered about his lips an in
slant and Josh Hampstead passed
away.
The next step. after Josh had been
properly Inferred In the local cemetery
and the eyes OF the daughter and
was to cast about for an intelligent
hired man who had the run OF chickens

This Is the advertisement. published

round himself a guest at the Hemp

In Praise Of the Bicycle.
From Harper.s Weakly.

from Harper weekly.
Some one lately counted the vehicle,
that passed In a day on a road out OF
London. There were 4.57. bicycles. 5S7
motor vehicles. 4O7 electric cars. 200
horse vehicles-in ali, $500. Observing
these figures. the Springfield Republic
an mark that however 1t may be In
this country. bicycles are o going out
OF use in England. For common needs
OF ommo people. 1t says. there is no
vehicle to equal the bicycle. We have
not at hand any report Of his years
sales OF bicycles. but there was lately q
report in the papers that the bicycle
factories had done very we'll this year.
There was a rag for bicycles that has
passed.
Here In New York they are nothing
like as much used for pleasure purposes
as they were four or five years ago. but
there is n steady and very considerable
here, though New York is Ill suited to
bicycle iocomotion. In most OF our.
smaller cities bicycles abound much
more in proportion to population. In
many cities the clerks and shop girls
use them on fair days to go back and
forth between their homes and their
places OF employment. so that in the
morning hours and the time Of closing
business the streets swarm with them.
In the villages. too. they are In con-
slant use In good weather in the sea-
o n when the roads are dry. American
children by the hundred thousand 20 to
school on them: workmen ride them to
their work; women ride them to village
stores: and farmers and their wives
and children get about on them in the
country. They are an immense con-
venience. II the rad In them is not
30 large as one might expect it must
be because h greater part OF a good
bicycle Is almost indestructible. But
every village has its bicycle repair
shop. and the trade in tires and ali re-
pair material must be constant and
considerable for eight months in the
year.
