"She is, indeed, Joseph Stage"

Carolyn May insisted on going to the

"sallOr man."
When she had been kissed by Miss
Amanda, and Prince had lain down by

With the average price of wheat to
the mill listed at $2.0S, the price OF
bran from the miller cannot be more
than S26.35 a ton, according to the
food administration. This applies to
bulk feeds. When sacked the actual
cost of the containers may be added to
the selling price.
Wheat coming to one of the largest
Denver mills was recently quoted at
S2.O2, which included cents freight
The cost of wheat shall be the aver
age cost as shown by the previous
months record in the mill, and shall
include the l per cent administration
fee paid by mills on all wheat ground,
according to the instructions.
Prices established for other wheat
mill feeds are as follows:
Shorts or standard middlings, So
ton above bran.

Record Price Paid for State Land.

Irrigated land in Larimer county
brought a record price of STAT an acre
at the regular monthly sale of state
land at the capitol. This price was
paid for ar eighty-acre ranch. Anoth-
er tract OF eighty acres in the same

speclively. Bidding for non-irrigated
land also was lively in the extreme.
One quarter section in Logan county
