AS GOOD AS FISHERS BLEND
Is the regular argument of all who
strive to push the sale of hours made
wholly of Western wheat.
AS good as FISHERS BLEND, thew
say, but COSTS LESS. And right
there is where the force of the argu-
ment fails, for no amount of argument
and craftsmanship can produce flour
made wholly of Western wheat as
good as FISHERS BLEND.
The price of FISHERS BLEND is
little more per sack than the price of
other Hours for the very plain and sim
pie reason that FISHERS BLEND
isn't one Of the other Aours nor any
thing at all like them. If it was it
would cost what other Aours cost and
you would get no more for your
money.
The price Of FISHERS BLEND-a
few cents more per sack than flours
made wholly of Western wheat-is
regulated by the cost of the superior
and carefully chosen materials that 90
into its composition. In no other flour
on the market is the scientific BLEND
of EASTERN HARD WHEAT and
WESTERN SOFT WHEAT to be
found.

BRYAN TO HEAD GABINET7
Part Of Wilson's An Ointments Are
Semi-O Officially Announced

1t is stated positively in high
congressional quarters closely
identified with the incoming adj
ministration of President Wilson
that the following cabinet appoint
ments had been definitely deter
mined upon:
Secretary of State, William j.
Bryan of Nebraska.
Secretary of the Treasury, Will
liam G. McAdoo of New York.
Postmaster General, Albert s.
Burleson of Texas.
Secretary of the Navy, JOsephus
Daniels of North Carolina.
Other places in the cabinet are
said be reasonably settled with The
exception of the portfolios of war
and agriculture.
In connection with the latter
position, the name of Henry j.
Waters, president of the Kansas
State Agricultural College, is per-
sistently mentioned.
Information from other sources
gave assurances that Col. George
w. Goethals, chief engineer and
chairman of the Panama Canal
commission, is under consideration
for secretary of war. Some close
friends of the incoming admlnistra-
tion have felt that lawyer should
be chosen as head of the. war de-
partment in view of the legal
questions involved. Col. Goethals'
familiarity with the Panama Canal,
it is declared, however, has given
him prominence in consideration
for this portfolio.

Killed With Target Rifle

William Durkee, superintendent
of the Du Pont powder mill at
Turck, Kan, was shot and fatally
wounded Tuesday night of last
week by Arden Pattyson, night
watchman at the mill.
Earlier in the evening Pattyson,
who was drunk, had some trouble
with another man and threatened
to kill him. He went home and
got his target rifle and then went
back to the mill and forced the
engineer to sound the signal that
the superintendent was needed at
the works.
Mr.. Durkee lived at the other
side Of the town, nearly a mile
away, and when he reached the
mill he was met by Pattyson, who
made some remark about not
liking the powder and then shot
Mr.. Durkee in the abdomen with
a 22-calibre rife. Mr.. Durkee
staggered to another building near
by and died in about twenty
minutes.
Pattyson gave himself up and
was taken to Columbus, the coun-
ty seat, where he waived his pre-
liminary examination and is held
for trial. Bail was fixed at
$4,000.
Mr.. Durkee was brother-in-
law of o. G.. Tooker of route

last summer, He was about fifty
years old and leaves a wife and
four children, He had been in the
employ of the powder company
about twelve years and was one OF
the most highly esteemed men in
the community, loved and re-
spected 10y all who knew him, anC
his murderer had no known cause
for his act.
