the efforts of Mr.. Smith and failed,
the bigger miller asked him to super
intend their factories. He finally
contracted with the Washburn fore
man to produce as good flour in that
mill as he had in the one in which he
started work. When he started work
to secure this end in the Washburn
mills, a force of workmen, milestone
dressers, held a consultation and de-
cided he was crazy, because he set
them to work smoothing off the
stones they had spent many days i'll
keeping sharp and rough. They re-
fused to work and the foreman de-
bated whether it was best to allow
this fanatic to continue under his
contract to furnish as good flour as
he had been making.
MiIIers Were Envious.
After persistence triumphed the next
man to become envious of the Smith
method was c. A. Pillsbury, who de-
vised all manner of plans to entice the
founder of the new flour to come to
his mill and install system of MAX
ing this marvelously high grade flour
for that day. After the Washburn con-
tract expired Mr.. Smith went to the
Pillsbury plant and started a process
that made the mill famous for Pills
bury's Best" of which it turned out
from 80. 600 to 10000 barrels a day.
Then came the patents after long
delays and trouble and finally the SELL
ing of the machines in this and in for
eign countries. The veteran miller has
sold his machines in IA different coun-
tries, besides putting them in the ma
jority of mills in this country where
patent flour is made.
1.-The great fault of the millers a
generation ago" said Mr.. Smith the
other day, was that they tried to make
fine pure patent flour before they had
learned to make middlings. We must
have middlings before we can have
patent flour. That was what the old
system lacked. The smooth stones
and later, the smooth rollers-crushed
the wheat in such q way that the mid
dlings could be separated and refined
Although past his allotted age George
T. Smith, who is known to practically
every miller in the country by reputa-
ton, is working ten hours a day sup
erintending the installation of still
newer and more recently patented puri-
flying machines in a model demonstrate
ing mill in ottawa, where he claims
that he will be able to make the high
est grade of patent flour now made
and further purify it-a step that he
claims is as far ahead of the present
patent flour system, as it was ahead
of the millstones.

PATENT MILLING
George Il. Smith of Ottawa First
to Discard MiIlstOneS.
Devised Boiling Machinery
People Thought Him Crazy.

Ottawa, Kan, Oct. Sit has been
a long step from the old fashioned
grist mill down by the creek to the
modern Touring mills. Yet the man
who made the step possible-the
father of patent -four" is still in the
milling business and still making inn
provements in the process of making
high patent flour. Grown old in the
service of advancing the industry, he
stands a landmark of the days when
the farmer brought the wheat to the
grist in a sack across the saddle and
when stones grinding together made
all the flour used by the world.
The man who has been guardian
angel of the grist is George T. Smith,
Il years old, but still experimenting
a mill full of workmen. He is living
in Ottawa and his most humorous
recollection is of a lot of workmen
who believed him insane because he
advised a radical change in the old
method of grinding grist. That was
forty-three years ago, but it is still
fresh in the veteran miller's recol-
lections.
Discovered Secret in 1870.
The first secret of making the fine
flour was discovered in 1870, a date
which seems ridiculously recent in
view of the attachments since then.
But previous to that time every mill
in the world used revolving stones to
a force of workmen expert in the art
of chisling fine depressions in the sur
face of the stone~-the aim being to
keep the grinding surfaces sharp.
That was the great pride of every
mill
At that time George T. Smith was
working in q mill twenty miles from
Minneapolis, Mimi, and the mill was
making from spring wheat a flour
that was bringing a dollar a barrel
more in Minneapolis than any other
flour. This drew the attention of
many millers and brought some of
them to the mill where Mr.. Smith was
employed. They were after the Sc
cret of the new kind of flour. Among
them was the superintendent of the
Washburh mills, who made a careful
investigation, took the measurements
OF every screen and bolt, tested the
wheat and asked about every act of
the process except the manner in
which the wheat was reduced by the
millstones- And it was there the Sc
Cret lay.
When the Washburn mills initiated

superintendent of Orphans Home
Denies Charges.

Atchison, Kan, Oct. 31.-Mrs. E. K.
Burnes, superintendent of the Soldiers
Orphans home, has issued an emphatic
denial of the report made this week that
the children in the home were not receiv-
ing as much nOurishing food as in former
years annd declares that the grocery
budget at the home has not been cut to
keep the general expense down.
The childrens rat ionS will never be cut

Burnes. The children are to be given
first consideration. In the month of Au-
gust $3.50 81 was spent to procure supplies
for the commissary and in the month of
September S7S7.91 was expended for the

What IS THE LIFE OF
A MOTOR CAR?

Through how many seasons Of ser
vice will motor car last?" is a ques-
ton often asked. Possibly this very
point may be influencing number OF
people throughout the country who.
while they are inclined to purchase a
car. can not quite make up their mind
to do so owing to the fact that they
are afraid of its giving out after q
year or two.
Here is a pretty good illustration
of what good car has to offer in
the way OF service and length OF life
George B. Marx. of Aurora, ILL.,. bought
q Regal $50" in 1910 and since that
time has driven the car $1,000 miles
The car has been in garage for over
hauling but once during this time. The
motor is in perfect condition today and
has not had a single part replaced.
This may be a record little better
than the average but 1t goes to show
that a motor car OF reliable make may
be relied upon to give the purchaser
his moneys worth" and then some.
