Through the Blood.

Although rheumatism is a disease

and Brings $1.04.

Junction City, Kan, July 23-J. e
Clemens west of the city has sold to
the Tyler Milling company $500 bush
els of new wheat for s1.O3 per bushel.
The wheat tested 571a pounds.
c. Kin, one of the we'll known farm
ers of Geary, also sold to the Tyler
Milling company several hundred bush
els of wheat that tested 81 pounds for
which he received $1.04. These two ara
the first to bring in samples of their
new wheat and receive bid of this
price The quality of the wheat was
better than has been shown in the city
and shows that some of the grain is
better or as good as was first expected.
The heavy rains during the past few
weeks have made much of the grain
tough and damp and for this reason
the few loads that have been brought
to town did not show the true condi-
ton of the most of the grain.

has secured an option on a tract of
land containing about ten acres on
18th streets in ArmourdaIe which
will expire in sixty days. General
Manager GoebeI, in commenting up
on the report, said that steps had
been taken to move the plant, for
the reason that the condition of the
road from the refinery to Atchison is
bad and the accumulation of demur-
rage on the cars at the switch near
the refinery is such a. big item of eX-
pense, that the company cannot af-

William Il. Glasscock, governor Of

whom thcse presents shall come.
greeting:
desire TO call the attention OF tine
God people Of West Virginia to a
custom that prevails in several states
as well rs in many parts OF oar
own state. 1t is that of setting aplr,
one day in each year to pay tribu -
20 the noblest OF Gods creatures
our mothers.
Is your mother dead? Then you
should honor yourself and her mem
cry By dismissing from youf mind
or one day all other things and de-
'ote the time to a service and work
hat you know would g adden ner
neart and fill her with joy If 81,
we're with you.
DO You remember her many acts
IF kindness and self-sacrifice? Wny
4ot repeat them rs often as posi-
Die. and especially on day set part
for that purpose?
Is your mother living? Then man
fest your appreciation of her devo-
ION to you by doing for one day IN
he year that which she is so fond Of
doing every day.
While have no authority Of law
10 issue proclamation setting apart
a day for the purpose, request
hat Sunday, May ninth, nineteen
hundred and nine be observed by all
the churches Of the state as Mothers
Day, and that all persons attend
church on that day and wear a white
carnaiion. 1t has been suggested
nat the white carnation is espe.
cial appropriate because Its white
ness stands for purity; its form,
beauty; its fragrance, love; it's wide
field of growth, charity; it's lasting
qualities, faithfulness-all true
mothers virtues.
sincerely hope that all religious

)ther organizations viii pay hon.
age to mothers by attending services
on Mothers Day; that the churchcs
prepare an appropriate program fol
