REVOLUTION IN THE FLOUR IN
DUS1'RN

Time was when in Vermont as we'll as
cessful and busirass-like farmer expected
to raise his own wheat, if not to spare.
the same being ground into -four at the
local gristmill so far as the family needs
required, With the opening of the vast
wheat fields in the West a wlthering
blight fell upon the limited wheat fields
as well as the cornfelds of the East and
farmers of New England early realized
their inability to compete with their
western brethren in the production of
cereal crops.
When the westward march of Whcat-
growing reached the country beyond the
Mississippi, it forlIed out in two opposite
directions. The early trend took the north
western course, and finally formed
center Of -four milling at the falls of St,
Anthony, where Minneapolis row stands.
This business of grinding wheat gives to
Minneapolis the first rank among the
worlds centers of the milling Industry.
BY the beginning of the eighties, this
part of the wheat-growlrg' area Of the
United States had become fairly settled.
Meanwhile, from early in the seventies,
the southwestern trend Of wheat-growing
had been extending but was brought to
a halt by those seasons of drought which
turned the county seats of western Kansas
and portions of Nebraska into dead viii
lagos, on which eastern morey-lenders had
mortgages.

PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER.
Views From Different Parts of United
States.

Governor Charles E. Hughes of New
York is not, according to a statement
made by him, candidate for political
honors higher than he has now.
Chicago-The entire west is against
Hughes candidacy for president This
is the dictum from republican lead
ers.
There is no Hughes for president
sentiment in Oklahoma. With the ma
jority of the politicians there is a
feeling of Willingness to support any
man whom President Roosevelt in
dorses for the nomination. In some
quarters Fairbanks sentiment is also
under way.
AS between Hughes and Taft fol
presidential timber, the sentimen in
Iowa is strongly in favor of Taft.
Taft is easily the favorite of republi
cans of southeastern Nebraska.

This race, a repetition OF the great

Parsons Is dissatisfied with the result

shake off EIillman and Taylor in the
