Aroused by repeated questions in

serted the millers still had large or
ders to fill at the old government
price at a positive loss to themselves.
THE price of bran,' said Mr..
Bovey, sis entirely regulated by the
supply and demand for that feed. We
sell bran for what W. are offered by

The state university experts agreed

that a return to normal milling and
shipping conditions would bring the
price down.

sin Bruin has a big appetite, and his

thing more to eat. His immense ap,
petite keeps him moving. He seems
to think of nothing but to get some
thing to eat. I suppose o have

hungry, and it seems, impossible for
them to get enough TO eat. Well,
Cousin Bruin was like that; he GEM
