BELEKE-HUCK.

One Of the prettiest weddings of the
season occurred at high noon, Dec. %.
1913, at the country home of Mrs.
Henry Beleke. Her daughter. Fran
els, was united in marriage to Mr..
William Huck OF Ellis, by the beauti-
ful ring ceremony, in the presence of
hundred invited guests. Rev. West
the BRIDES pastor, oficiated.
To the festal strains OF Lohrengin's
wedding march the happy couple en-
tered the room, and while 'fInspira-
ton" wss softly played the solemn
covenant was ratified. Mrs. Averill's g
impressive playing of these numbers
on the piano added much to the effect.
The bride was dressed in beaded net
over silk chiffon, carrying a boquet of
brides roses The brides maid, Miss
SettY BeIeke, sister of the bride,
was dressed in white chiffon over mes-
saline. The groom and best man, was

ventional black. The little sister of

The presents were both useful and
beautiful, consisting Of silver service,
cut glass. china, linen. furniture, brIc-
a-brac, etc.
Mr. and Mrs. Huck come from two
OF our best families and are vel

VELVET CHAFF
CAUSING SLUMP
FLOUR NOT WANTED BY
HOUSEWIVES.
Millers Therefore do Not Want
it and the Grading of Velvet
Chaff as No. l Forces Ali
Wheat Down to the Same
Level.

That the farmers of the Northwest
as we'll as the millers are losing much
money through grading of velvet chaff
is the statement of an article in the
January issue of Farm, Stock and
Home. 1t is said that the grading
idea is not only very unpopular with
the housewife because of its inferior
qaultliy but it is also Sin bad" with
the millers on account of the tendency
to lower the prices of wheat. The
article says in part:
In 1912 the Minnesota Grain In.
spection department decided to make
velvet chaff wheat deliverable on con-
tract if it fulfilled certain conditions
as to quality. The inspection depart
ment undoubtedly was acting in good
faith. 1t thought it was doing the
right thing for Northwestern wheat
growers, but the logic of events shows
that this move was one of the most
costly ever made to Northwestern
farmers.
The fact of the matter is millers de
not want velvet chaff wheat. Now
this is not mere within on the par
Of the millers; they do not want il
because the consumer does not want
-four made of velvet chaff wheat
These being the cold hard fact:
what has making velvet chaff con.
tract done? 1t has reduced ths
value of every bushel of other kinds
of wheat, from FIVE to six cents. This
!, is strong statement and must bt
backed up with evidence. There ii
plenty of such evidence.
The article goes on to state that il
1912, the year velvet chaff was made
contract, Chicago was at premium
over Minneapolis on December 1,
but no one thought of attributing it tt
the grading of velvet chaff as No. ]

600, 600 bushels more than in 1911
and winter wheat 1000, 600 bushelt

But here we come to 1913 with ;
spring wheat crop of 191. 900, OOC

1t will be noticed in the table that in

tions Minneapolis May was one cent

Recent consular reports give the
following interesting data regarding
Sweden's wonderful resources: Swe.
denis waterpower ranks third among
those of European countries, Norway
being first and Austria Hungary sec
ond. The waterfalls of Sweden are,
however, more difficult to exploit than
those of Norway, being not so high,
nor so compact, but they often have
the advantage of flowing from great
lakes which form natural huge ba-
sins" Already Swedish enterprise
has harnessed nearly 100000 horse
power, one-half of it being converted
into electricity for transmission to
distance and the rest employed on
water wheels. Ali large towns in
Sweden are, or soon will be, lighted
by. electricity, and use has been made
of 1t in many small industries and on
railways and trolley lines It is ex-
pected, however, that iron and steel
will derive the most benefit from this
form of power. The output of iron.
ore has never been so great as it to-
day. The Swedish smelling industry
suffered severely from the discovery
that iron ore could be smelted with
coke instead of with charcoal; but in
recent years the output of pig iron
and steel in Sweden has increased
rapidly, partly because the native
ores are exceptionally pure, and the
demand for high grade steel enables
charcoal smelling to be conducted
proitably. The mean production of,
pig iron grew from 1T 900 tons per
annum in the years 1860 to a.
LAT tons in 1875, to 528,255 tons in
1905, and to 615,77S tons in 1907.
The most important iron mines in
Sweden are situated in the province
of Norrbotten, within the Arctic cir
Gle, in district which, until the open
ing of the iron mines, was inhabited
only by nomad Laplanders The de-
posits are among the largest in the
world, and are believed to contain.
several thousand millions of tons of
workable ore. They have been known
for centuries, but their exploitation
dates only from twenty-five or thirty
years ago, when railway was built
to carry the iron to the coast AT
present only a very small part Of the
Lapland ore is smelted in Sweden.
The rest is exported, principally via
the port Of Narvik, which is open all
the year round, to England, Germany
Belgium and France. In 1909 the
United States began to buy Swedish
ores, and it may be expected that the
new American tariff will encourage
this trade. The timber resources OF
Sweden are the second string to the
Swedish bow. It is a startling fact
that forests cover 50 per cent of the
total area of the country. Finland
and Liyonia are the only parts of Eu-
rope which exceed this proportion.
The forests cover about $4,000, 900
acres, or $4,000 square miles. No less
than is per cent of the worlds trade
in sawn and hewn timber in recent
years has belonged to Sweden, and
the proportion some years ago was
even larger Exports are exceeded
in quantity by those of Russia, Aus
tria-Hungary and the United States.

Since the accession on May Is, 1912,
Of King Christian x as king of Dem
mark, says the Review of Reviews,
the progress of the Danes has been
gratifying along peaceful industrial
lines A few months after the new
kings accession the reform bill
amending the revised constitution of
1856 was passed. BY this measure
women were given the vote and the
right to sit in parliament. Other mod.
ifications in the franchise were made,
including the abolition of election by
privilege and royal nomination" Fol
lowing this, owing to the steadily de-
clining numbers of life peers" the
Liberals and Radicals came into the
ascendency. Denmark, meanwhile,
has been growing enormously in the
arts of peace, developing rapidly from
| an agricultural to a manufacturing
country. While the leading occupa-
ton of the Danes is still agriculture,
! it was estimated recently by Alexander
Foss, president of the National Dan
ish Industrial society, that by 1925
manufacturing will have surpassed
farming and agriculture itself will
have been fully industraIized. Dur
ing the past few months the long
! standing differences between Denmark
and her North Atlantic island posses
sion, Iceland, have. been settled. Ice
land will hereafter have complete
home rule, but all bills are subject
