PERFECTION FLOUR LEADS

The Brookings Roller Mills is one
of the few Touring mills in this state
that has been kept in active opera
ton and this fact can only be attribut-
ed to the high quality of -four made
and the resultant demand for the
same. The past week we were shown
the latest laboratory test received on
Perfection Flour which showed that
in competition with about forty of the
best mills in the northwest Perfection
Flour made by the Brookings Roller
Mills of this city stood at the very top
of the list as to quality. We are In
formed that the weekly laboratory
tests received the past six months
have all placed Perfection Flour at
the top Of the list, a fact that is GER
tainly gratifying to every booster Of
Brookings.

NATION SAVED BY A SPIDER
Scotland ProfIted by the Lesson the
Insect Taught to lite
Monarch,

Scotland has many legends that the
sheepherders and highland peasants
nevas. get tired repeating. 4 long time
ago King Bruce ruled over Scotland
before that country became a part of
England, and he learned lesson from
a spider that enabled him to succeed
when otherwise he would have failed.
King Bruce had lost many battles.
He was discouraged. He had made
his final effort against his enemies
and failed to vanquish them. Deep in
despair he went to a lonely room in
his castle. Reclining on the couch
and thinking, he happened to notice
a spider drop from the ceiling on
single silken cord. He watched the
spider fascinatingly. 1t now began its
ascent. 1t slipped Time and time
again it tried to mount, but each time
1t failed. The king watched intently
forgetful of all else. An hour passed
Finally the spider succeeded. It was
an inspiration for King Bruce Why
should he get discouraged, having
tried only few times and failed? He
made one last grand rally against his
enemies and routed them, and from
this incident came the old saying, '1f
at first you don't succeed try again"

1t appears that there is more or less
humbug about the traditional slowness
of the messenger. the fabulous lazi-
ness of the Office boy-and all that
sort Of stuff. At any rate, there is a
young fellow in Cleveland who may
be said to be abreast of the age in
which he lives. He works in down
town office building, but he has a
rapidly growing account in a savings
bank.
The other day our young hero went
to his bank to make a deposit of so
cents. The teller, with more than his
customary haughtiness, informed the
boy that the bank would not receive
deposits of less than 81. The kid
didn't waste any time arguing about
It, He walked over to the desk, wrote
check for 81 and presented it at
the paying teller's window. 1t was
honored. of course. Then the little
f1nancier said:
81 wish to deposit $3.50"
And that deposit was accepted. And
the teller ground his teeth.

posit cent If you have an account

Just for Recreation,

Dolph B. Atherton, secretary of the
League of Republicans Clubs, is pol
itician and an authority on good sto-
ries. He tells this one:
During a coal strike in Scranton, Pa,
many miners were idle, and the city
authorities, taking advantage of the
fact, had a lot of work done putting
in sewers, paving streets, and laying
wires underground. An old Irishman
by the name of Mike Dooley had heen
employed in the mines, but took tenn
porary job digging bitches in the
streets. One morning his friend, Pat
Hoolligan, say Mike at work, and ex-
claimed:
Hello Mike! What in the divil are
you doing there?"
Mike leaned on his pick, looked up,
and said smilingly:

I was idle''-The Popular Magazine.
