plicate cards to be sent to Adjutant

The City Hall ceremony was brief

trasting strangely with the khaki OF

Mayor Mitchell in his address de-

get hardly any mineral substance it
contains, nor the germs OF wheat,
which are so important in nutrition.
Those are all put aside, and made
into bran, shorts, and middlings;
and the farmer buys them to feed
his dairy COW. He knows what is
good for her. He robs his own
child that his cow may give more
milk, and he doesn't know it.
"Now, it is a crime to feed chill
dren white flour products; it isn't a
mistake, it is crime. Yet-yo are
all doing it over this country"
To retain the nutritive values con-
tanned in the bran which is the
broken coat of the seed of wheat,
rye or other cereal grain, it has
therefore been necessary to find
some method for a perfect grinding
of flour which would contain the
whole wheat.
1t has been the good fortune of
Mr.. Thomas L. Clark, for twenty
five years Master Miller with the
Pillsbury Flour Mills Company, now
president of the American Flour and
Cereal Mills Company to conceive
and patent machinery and process
which in a perfect grinding Of grain
would embody germ, bran, endo-
sperm-neither eliminating nor add
ing-but 100 per cent pure, thus
producing the Clark Whole Wheat
Flour.
Bread, etc., made from Clark
Whole Wheat Flour contains all the
nutritive values in conjunction with
the bran which regulates the system
and feeds the nerves. This flour and
other Clark products are manufac-
tured by the American Flour &
Cereal Mills Company Of Mime
apolis, which is now building new
plant to meet the continually in
creasing demand for Clark whole
wheat and Clark whole rye fours.
Ask your doctor about the COM
parative food values of white bread
and rich whole wheat bread and the
question will be solved for Clark.

"And a better one than the Klocke's,
tool"
at won't be so bad" unused Mr..
Perkins "Guess my family can ride
in an auto as well as Klocke s. And it
won't cost me a cent, either, that's
the beauty OF the whole thing; it was
Wilder's invitation and l didn't even
have to say that / was thinking OF
buying a car"
Sunday came, and so did Wilder;
in huge, putting, touring car. Mrs.
Perkins swept out OF the house in a
stunning auto veil. carrying long
wrap and automobile coat, and sprang
magnificently into the machine. Her
husband followed with the three little
Perkinses.
1t was a wonderful ride! They met
everybody they knew, and Mrs. Per-
kins bowed to her Boulevard friends
with o slight condescension Of the
motorist. But it was not until they
were on their way home that the
full triumph of the day was realized.
They met the Klocke family, whose
mouths simultaneously opened in amaze
ment as the .Perkinses passed.
"What dinky little machine
Klocke's is," said Mrs. Perkins.
The following day, Wilder sent the
same machine around to take Mr..
Perkins down to the office. His wife
accompanied him and, after dropping
Perkins, made a tour OF the shopping
district and stopped at every possible
store, although she did not purchase
anything.
Before that week was over nearly
every auto dealer in town had noticed
that Wilder was trying to sell new
customer, and every day different
makes Of machines were placed at the
disposal Of the willing Perkins and his
more-than-willing wife.
In fact. no one ever entered into the
spirit of real "joy-rider" with more
enthusiasm than did Mrs. Perkins.
Perkins, too, was intoxicated with
the experience. He patronized the
various chaffeurs who were sent around
to him, and every night he deliberated
in his office for ten minutes trying to
decide in which Of the machines that
Baxter Springs news., 1917-07-12
.By Carleton Brown

stood by the curb he should ride
home.
For three weeks this state OF affairs
continued. Several auto statesmen were
disgusted by Perkins persistency in
not making choice, and departed
from the ranks. Others hung on,
forcing their cars upon him. Among
these was Wilder, who succeeded in
getting the prospective customer to
ride in his machine every day; and
his car, too, was the preference Of Mrs.
Perkins-being Of the same make as
Klocke's-only larger.
1t was this bulldog tenacity in Wilder
which caused the neighbors to believe
that Perkins had really bought
machine, and that the chauffeur drew
his pay from the recognized owner.
Indeed, it had all come about so
easily that Perkins almost expected a
raise in salary in recognition Of his
prominence in the motor world.
Lets take the Klockes out riding
in Wilder's machine" Mrs. Perkins
suggested one day; "they think it's
ours, and they know it's better than
their own. 1t will be such fun. You
know, they just can't refuse, for we
have so often accepted invitations to
ride in their car" The madness was
still on Perkins and he greeted the
idea with enthusiasm. Consequently,
the Klockes were invited, and accepted;
and Wilder was called up and requested
to send his machine and chauffeur
around the next day to take out q
small party.
Perkins was rubbing his hands joy
ously when the car drove up the
following morning. "Oh, you're a
new man, are your" he asked the
chauffeur, in an indulgent voice.

vouchsafed the driver, whose goggles
and huge features gave him the odd
appearance Of deep-sea diver.
Mrs. Perkins swept down the walk
with her habitual elegance, and settling

John were driving the car, as usual
He was very careful"
"I'll be careful, num-" growled tho
new man.
Mrs. Klocke had dressed up for the
occasion, and the neighborly compe-
tition was well supported on both
sides. Both she and her husband
seemed uneasy from the very start;
whether it was that the Perkins
machine was superior to theirs, or
that they didn't like the chauffeur,
one could not tell.
They followed the Boulevard and
sped along an hour, until they chugged
out into the exclusive residential dis
trict, where all interest was conferred
on the handsome apartments which
they were passing.
Wonderful places, aren't they?"
mused Perkins. ~ haven't been inside
any Of the very newest ones; they say
that the latest wrinkle is to have
elevators in the rear for automobiles,
to take them up to the various floors"
"Oh, yes, / have seen them," re-
marked Klocke, with q glance at
the chauffeur, who seemed to take
an unwarranted interest in the con-
versation.
"Oh, yes, zoe have seen them,"
echoed his wife.
"Would you like to see 'em, sir2"
the driver questioned Perkins.
"Why, yes, my good man, said !
would" replied Perkins, haughtily;
and his wife craned her neck to have o
look at the impertinent chauffeur.
"Well, the reason | asked, sir, is
because Mr.. Wilder lives in one OF
these here apartments, an he told
me this mornin', sir, could take
anybody up in his elevator that wanted
to see. it," continued the chauffeur.
His apartments amt far from here.
I'll take you there if you want"
"Why, yes, you might do that"
said Perkins magnificently.
~ don't care to see it again."
broke out Mrs. Klocke, quite rudely.
"No, they're very tame" agreed
Klockc.
"Well, OF course, we won't see the
auto elevators then, il you people
don't want to, but ! should really
like very much to see them myself"
ventured Mrs. Perkins, in a cutting
tone.
"Oh, il you really want to see them
we shall be only too willing to 60 with
you, although | assure you they are
hardly worth looking at" offered Mr..
KlOcke
"We're right in front of Mr.. Wilder's
apartment now, sir; shall i take the
machine around and show you the
elevator" put in the chauffeur.
why, yes" decided the patron
ising Perkins, "now that we are right
here we might as well 90 in as not"
So, although Mrs. Klocke had an
ugly look in her eyes when she glared
at her uneasy husband, they went in
at Wilder's drive. The machine was
steered straight onto the platform,
and the chauffeur started the eleva-
tor, which, with slow jerks, assembled
until it reached the fourth floor. Here
the chauffeur stopped it and, opening
the door, drove the machine into q
garage. Stepping back, he released
the elevator and sent II down.
What-what arc you doing that
for, my good man2 We just wanted
to ride up, we don't care to stay here"
Perkins informed him.
With a dextrous motion, the chauf-
feur whipped off his goggles, pushed
back his cap, tugged at his mustaches
a moment, pulled them off, and faced

He's developed acute motormania."
II didn't know he had enough
money"
"Well, it doesn't take all the money
in the world, nowadays, to buy an
auto. He's got chauffeur, too"
But though everyone doubted Per-
kins' ability to support touring-car
even larger than his family, no one
doubted for a moment that he owned
the car in which he rode daily. Yet
the fact was, he didn't own even the
spark-plug, for Perkins was "ioy-
rider THE most modern manifestation
OF the dead beat"
Perkins fell into this iniquitous prac-
tice through envy of his neighbor,
Klocke, who was the proud owner OF
30-h. p., and the downward path was
as smooth and simple as an asphalt
grade. Klocke had no more money
than Perkins, yet the rivalry between
the two families was so great that Mrs.
Klocke never sported a more gorgeous
leather than Mrs. Perkins-for more
than two days; and therefore when
Kl0cke bought an automobile the
Perkins family was tempted and it
fell.
1t was one night about q week
after KlOcke made his purchase that
Mrs. Perkins sighed so bitterly that
her husband looked up quickly from
his after-dinner newspaper.
What is it, love?" he queried;-
Klocke addressed his wife simply
"dear."
II was wondering, Papa Perkins,

laying stress upon her pronunciation OF

Mrs. Klocke.
"Why, why, love, in-in our circum-
stances it would-er-rather tend to
cripple us. You know they charge
twenty-five dollars day?" apologized
her husband, evading his wife's direct
gaze.
"You know, Papa Perkins, there are
others in no better circumstances
than we who have automobiles Of their
very own" emphasized Mrs. Perkins.

sponded uneasily, resuming his news

"I'll answer it, love-" interposed the
head Of the house; and he muttered

Mrs Perkins sat with knitted brOws
and knotted hands. She was not in
any way appeased.

When Perkins hung up the receiver

which was echoed by an exclamation OF
delight from his wife, who rushed to
his side and was shaking him by the
shoulders in her enthusiasm.
