Price Of Wheat MiIIfesds.

The fact that bran and mid
dlings Of local and Western origin
are sold frequently in the same
place, often causes a misunder-
standing as to the proper price.
Illustration as to possible price at
which bran and middlings may
sell:
HOME MADE BRAN At $2.15
a bushel for wheat, cost of bran
would be $27.24 bulk, in carload
lots, at the mill. If miller fur
nishes the sacks, add the cost of
sacks. Ifbran is placed in farm
ers' sacks, no allowance is made.
In addition, the miller may
charge for handling, according to
schedules set forth in Feed Cir
cular No. /. If selling directly
to consumer in millers' sacks,
in less than ton lots for cash, the
selling price would be, allowing
$5. 90 per ton for sacks and So 90
per ton for retail profit, 1921;
if placed in farmers sacks, S32.-
"a per ton. The price will vary
according to the price of wheat
and the cost of sacks, and the
price here given should not be
considered a maximum.
For example, at 81. 40p per bush
ell of wheat, the cost of bran, in
carload, build at the mill, would
be $50. 40 compared with 1921,
with wheat at 81. Is; an increase
in the basic price of So. 6per ton.
WESTERN BRAN. At S2.15 a
bushel for wheat, cost of bran
would be $2724- sacking $500
to $500 per ton. Freight from
$500 to $500 per ton, depend
ing upon distance shipped. If
sold to a jobber, there may be an
additional cost of from S100 to
$4.00 per ton. If the maXimums,
as given above, entered into the
cost, it would be possible to have
Western bran when it reaches the
Eastern retailers cost, S43.27.
The price of Western Bran will
vary with the cost of wheat per
ton, the cost of sacks, the dis
tance shipped, and whether or
not it has passed through the
hands Of the jobber-adding
$500 per ton for retail, the sell
ing price may reach $48.27.
MIDDLINGs The basic price of
middlings is $500 above the bran
price.
The miller in wholesaling his
feed is requested to give on the
invoice the basic price of bran,
cost of sacks, and cost of freight.
By adding to the price paid by
the purchasers, as shown on the
bill-of- lading, it is simple, by re-
ferring to Feed Circular No. l,
to determine he.permissable SELL
ing price.
Yours very truly.

following account of its origin in
Virginia almost a hundred years
ago. The account was carefully
preserved in h er family bible
many years by the late Mrs.
Ephraim Hart of Whips Cove, a
faithful member of that church,
and it was handed US by her son,
W. Vincent Hart on his visit to
town Monday.
Inasmuch as the Almighty God
of heaven has in all ages given
and ordained certain measures,
rules, and directions, whereby to
guide and govern his people:
l. We, therefore, deem it re-
Quisite to show who are willing
to obey his commands, according
to their best understandings,
which is expressly enjoined on
the people of God.
2. We also conceive it behooves
all persons who believe in the
merits and mediation of Jesus
Christ, to make an explicit pro-
fession of their faith and belief,
and thereby to show their object
and purpose by such profession.
3. And whereas we have rea-
son to believe that we are re-
deemed from the curse of the
law by our Cord and Saviour
Jesus Christ; we, therefore, in
consideration thereof, agree,
promise, oblige, and bind our
selves to take the New Testa-
ment of our Redeemer and Lord
as the only rule to guide our faith
and govern our practice.
4. And in consideration'of the
redemption aforesaid, we agree,
promise, and engage, never to
consent to be governed by any
other rules, regulations, or direc-
tions repugnant to the Testament
of our adorable Lord and Re-
deemer; and we also consider it
right, just, and necessary for US
and all church members to sub
scribe their respective names to
this engagement, in order to sup
port the declarations aforesaid.
5. And whereas union is indis-
pensably necessary in all conjoint
bodies, for that reason we cannot
with propriety receive a member
or members into this convention,
as church member, without the
unanimous consent of all the
members present at any meeting
generally made known among the
members reasonably convenient
for that purpose; but in all other
matters pertaining and relating
to the business of the church, a
majority Of the members present
shall decide, determine, and gov
ern.
6. We also conceive it necces-
sary and proper to have and keep
a book to record such matters and
deeds concerning and pertaining
to the church as may be consider
ed and determined proper and ne
cessary by the church at any
meeting convened as before di-
rected.
7. This convention shall be
called THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH,
and shall never make itself known
by any other name.
Adopted and subscribed this - day
of September, in the year of our
Lord, 1922 Done at Strasburg,
in the county of Shenandoah, Va.

June 7.h as follows:
I'VE have a fine hospital here
the best in France. We had it
full a couple Of times but evacu-
ated the patients. We are pretty
close the front, so we have to be
always ready to go at the short
est notice. The Germans said
they would eat dinner with us
the other day, but they failed,
for they found Uncle Sam ready
for them. There have been
some awful battles near this
place. The big guns roar night
and day. A German plane flew
over US this morning, but it was
high and did no damage. They
shot at it but didn't get it. A
big shell lit among and
killed one Sergeant-blew a
shoulder and leg off. There
are some Of US get it too. The
Sergeant was dead when he got
to our hospital. We had some
boys come in Gased, but not bad
They are nearly well now. We
had two wounded German
soldiers in our hospital.
They get the same treatment as
our own men. They sent them
away, but they don't treat their
prisoners that way.
We have a nice lot of Ameri-
can nurses in our hospital. We
have a good outfit no drafted
men-all Regulars, so that makes
a great difference.

recreation when through.
We have all kinds of work.

and dentists-also, brick layers;
so, when they want anything

we have things fine here. We
