1t is guarantee Of careful and sue

J. A. Engle also is one lof the pro-
prietors, has been at the head OF a
store in Talmage for several years and
has shown marked business ability.
He will take an active part in the
management Of the mill.
E.G Engle, son of E. s. Engle,
who is now with the Pioneer Produce
Company will enter the mill later and
become actively interested in Its man
agement. Mr.. Engle has perfected
himself in business education by at
tending some Of the best agricultural
colleges in the country and is
thoroughly fami lar with the need
and conditions Of the western farper.
Under such competent management
the mill will undoubtedly continue
it's successful career and we predict
for it a most prosperous future.
1t is expected that most OF the local
employees will be retained in the mill
as they well deserve to be because of
their successful performance Of duty
Abilene will be sincerely sorry to
see the Glades leave the city and this
regret will be shared by the farmers
Of the county generally who have met
with such upiailing courtesy and
business fairness in every dealing
with which they have be- n connected.

president OF the United States, whep
he arrived here at o'clock Tuesday /,
and the people Of the city were as
sisted in their reception of the. chief
magistrate by a netable gathering OF
distinguished men, including the gov
ernofs 'of more than a dozen states,
number of members of both houses
Of congress and the members OF the
Inland Waterways commission, The
occasion of the presidents coming was
| the movement in the interest of a
deep waterway down the Mississippi
river to the Gulf and this city was
selected as the point of embarkation
on his voyage down the river, which
will end at Memphis next Friday. He
was given a drive through the city
and made a noteworthy speech at
Rand park to many thousand people.
The reception to the president both
along the line of march and at the
park was cordial in the extreme and
he was in excellent health and spirits.
He embarked on the steamer Missis-
sippi few minutes before noon and
is scheduled to reach st. Louis at
Gas a. m. Wednesday. He was &C
companied by Gov. Frantz of Okla
homa and Seth Bullock Of the Black
Hills.
AS at Canton, the president did not
deliver his speech here just as he
had prepared 1t and given 1t to the
press. He did not omit features but
frequently turned from his manu-
script to interject extemporaneous re-
marks for the purpose of emphasis
and elaboration. Before beginning, he
insisted that the ropes be let down
so as to admit enough people to fill
number of vacant seats and when a
man and. woman appeared carrying
children he directed that they be given
chairs. Now" he said, when these
preliminaries had been arranged to
his satisfaction, you can proceed"
Again, as on Monday, his theme was
the similar treatment for rich and
poor and again he found occasion to
point his story with familiar colo
quialism. isn't that good doctrine%
he asked after stating his proposition,
addressing the grand army in front of
him, and when he received shout Of
assent, he proceeded to say that
while he was always willing to help a
man who stumbles and falls, but not
to carry the man who Ties down."
1T does him no good, and it is too
much for me,r he added. He dwelt
on the necessity of self-mastery, de-
claring that every man must have a
maater." And adding that 'if he does
not master himself, some one else will
do So" In another connection he laid
