NEW LONDON MILLING
COMPANY.

Just like mother used to make, is
the way some describe the bread made
from the flour milled by the New Lon
don Milling company. And there are
others who are among the best judges
in the land, who aver that the old
time bread produced from flour of
the old days cannot compare with the
present day product We do not know
whether you know what this particu-
lar flour is that is manufactured by
this mill in Willmar, but if you don't,
then here's the tip: Call it "Supremo"
and you have it down pat. The New
London Milling company was organ
lied in the year of 1897 and has kept
its mill wheels turning steadily in
ace with the fast revolving wheels
of modern commerce. Marcus john
son is president of the company, and
c. S. Olson, secretary and treasurer.
A large grain storage elevator is op-
Grated together with the mill and the
same officers control it. 1t takes
kernel to make lot of little particles
Of "Supremos" and you can see those
kernels marching most any day you
drop into this principal industry of the
city Of Willmar. One of the mill
hands told us that he could hardly see
how anyone could help being well
bred" on Supreme flour. And then he
went away and left us holding the
sack.

STATE BANK OF SLEEPY
EYE.

This bank values the business it re-
ceives from its customers and takes
every opportunity of telling them So.
The customers, on the other hand,
appreciate the fact that the service
extended to them is coupled with Sc
curity. The State Bank of Sleepy Eye
was established in the year of 1880,
and in 1891 was incorporated as a
state bank with capital of $1,000, and
with surplus which has been steadily
increasing and which now stands at
the $4,000 mark The individual de-
posts aggregate over onehalf million,
which is a most magnificent sum for
bank of this size, and is highly in
dicative of the condition of the coun-
try from which this bank draws its
patronage. Four per cent is paid on
six-month time deposits, and five per
cent on yearly time deposits, while
in the savings department four per
cent is paid with interest compounded
semi-annually. Insurance, farm loans,
steamship tickets, exchanges are all
integral parts of the business. The
stockholders of this bank are all WE'LL

for the company His downward path
| begins with the theft of money that he
may take his wife to the theatre. He
becomes speculative from then on,
plays the races, CANDLES in other ways
and continues his misrepresentation OF
collections that he may give his wife
happiness such as Jimsy or Captain
Williams might offer her.
Captain Williams, watching the de-
velopment of the lowly plot he has
planned, decides upon a trip to Guat-
emala with Jimsy, that Joe may have
free rein to seal is own fate. He en-
cages detectives to watch Joe and Sc
cure evidence for his conviction.
Joe explains to Emma that mis- salary
has been raised, and the Harlem fiat is
forsaken for an apartment amid better
surroundings. He continues his mis-
appropriation, endeavoring to replac3
what he has taken, but only gets il
deeper.
Captain Williams and Jimsy return
Unexpectedly from their trip, and
Jimsy calls at the Brooks home. Alone
with Joe he tells him that Captain
Williams knows all, and Joe, in des-
peration, tells Emma that he has been
stealing the money to buy her happi-
ness and pleads for her forgiveness
and help. Captain Williams calls and
sarcastically reminds Joe that he will
see him at his Office in the morning.
With every means of escape blocked,
with disgrace and prison sentence
imminent, Joe covers under his real
ization and begs and pleads with his
wife to go to Captain Williams that
night and square his indebtedness "tha
way other women have squared things
for their husbands" Emma shrinks
from him in horror, but finally agrees,
and after telephoning Williams, leaves
on her mission.
Jimsy, hearing of her coming, and
still loving Emma, warns the Captain
that "she must be smiling when re-
turn" and leaves that she may be
spared the humiliation of a meeting
with him.
The Captains great love for Emma
conquers his brutal desires, and with
an appreciation at last, that "decency
is the right thing after all, because Of
his wholesome regard for Emma and

WAR EFFECTS
TELEGRAPH TOLLS
(By Associated Press.)

The Hague, March photographic
communications between the European
countries, whether belligerent or neu-
trail, have been affected to an enor-
nous extent by the war Not only has
the time of transmission been greatly
extended, but the cost to the senders
has been easily increased.
Holland, for instance, in order to
communicate with neutral Spain, must
route her messages by way of England
at double expense, since France will
not permit kilograms which have been
passed over German or Austrian lines
to be taken over her own wires. 9th
erwise it would be possible to send
the messages by way of Germany and
Switzerland, and thus over southern
France to Spain.
In order to telegraph --oni Holland
to Denmark, Sweden or Norway, the
dispatches from Holland ust pass
either through the hands of the Ger
man or those Of the Tnglish censors,
by each of whom they are in many
instances given sohrt srift and often
do not ever reach their destination.
For America, all cablegrams from
Holland must go to England, with
consequent delay and sometimes sup
preston by the censors but more es-
pecially when coming from the United
State to Holland, when delay of
ten days in nothing unusual.
The question has been raised in
commercial circles here as to what
course is to be pursued to recover the
tolls paid to the cable companies for
messages, which, owing to the action
of the German, British and French
censors, have never gone over the
wires, and an investigation has been
started with the object of regulating
the matter after the war is ended.

Wilma Has Fallen
Before Furious Drive
Of Won Hindenburg

Wilma, a city of some 10000 inhabit-
ants on the Warsaw Petrograd rail-
way line, has been the object of a Ger
man offensive movement for weeks
past, in the course of the widespread
operations of Field Marshal Won Hind
enburg on the northern end of the ex-
tended battle line in the east.
After the fall of Koyno. to the north
west. and Grodno. to the southwest. no
fortress barrier remained before the
Germans moving on Wilma. but stub
born defensive measures were taken
by the Russians to hold back the Teu-
tonic advance, wilma being the north
ern key position on the important
strategic railway line running SOUTH
eastward to Rovno. which the Rus
slams were striving to retain. 1t was
on this line, running through Ida.
that the defenders of Wilma apparent
ly had their sole opportunity to re-
treat along ready routes when the
German offensive recently developed
intensive force. the lines southwest OF
the city and those to the north and the
east having been cut.
The fall of Wilma had been anticipat-
ed for several days, the German en-
circling movement having developed
sufficiently to make it apparent that
us abandonment was only a question
of time. Last week Petrograd dis
patches stated that Wilma. as well as
Dvinsk. another OF Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg's detectives, had been
emptied OF stores and abandoned by
government and private institutions.
1t was declared that neither point was
regarded as OF further strategic i'm
portance, except as a section OF the
general front and that it was not the
purpose of the Russian general staff
to defend Wilma at all costs.

London, Sept. 20. The Germans
have occupied wilma and by wide
sweeping movement to the north Of
that city, have succeeded in almost,
If not entirely, surrounding a portion
Of the Russian army, which is fight
ing in the railway triangle between
Wilma, Ida and Vileika.
At any rate, the Russian forces in
this district, either must fight their
way out eastward or retire In Il
southeasterly direction, for the only
railway left entirely in their hands
is that which runs from Wilma to
Ida and thence 10 Baranovitchi.
The army of Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg. which took Wilma and
has reached Vileika, to the east Of
Wilma. is working in close co-opera
ton with that of Archduke Leopold
of Bavaria in an effort to catch g,
part of the Russian army. an opera
ton which has been so often tried
without success since the Austro-
Germans commenced their drive in
western Galicia IN early May.
The Russians express confidence In
the outcome of the battle. which must
be decided before complete success
falls to one side or the other, but with
their northern armies closely held
along the Dvina and the German flank
we'll protected by their cavalry, which
recently occupied Widsy, across the
Wilma -Petrograd railway, 1t seems
impossible that any aid can come to
them from that direction.
The battle seemingly must be
fought out between the troops now in
the district between wilma, Ida and
Slonim. with the assistance of any
rcinforcements that can be spared to
hold the German force which has
reached Vileika. At the southern end
of the line, General 1vanoff is still
keeping Won Mackensen at arms
length from the fortress of Rovno, the
key to the route to Kiev, and In
counter attacks has retaken number
of villages both in Volhynia and Ga
ltc1a.
II seems apparent from the inability
Of the Austro- Germans to hold their
positions in the southern area that
they have sent reinforcements from
that front to Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg's northern army. which. as
heretofore, is expected to score the
biggest success.
Both the Germans and the French
claim minor victories on the western
front. but neither there, in the Ital-
Ian theatre, nor in the Dardanelles.
