he can make a little easy honey
for his county.

making up the lower regular
rate.

heart of his early youth, very
handsomely.

and mixing it with hard wheat,
grinding the mixture into flour
and selling the same for all hard
wheat floor. This is denied by
Minneapolis millers who say they
do make a macaroni flour which
is exported mostly to Northern
Europe where a big trade has
