benevolence and current expense
is $3S.0l4,339.5O. The Budget for
Bruno church and the out sta
tons, both for benevolence and
current expense will be almost
100000. The Budget will be
several hundred dollars larger

John Babe has already taken
the canvas in the Burglund Dis

was the unanimous opinion of the
millers that with the new crop on
the market, the largest ever raised
in Nebraska. the premium now paid
on wheat will be thing of the past.
At this time this premium is and has
been for several months 20 to 80
and sometimes as much as>40 cents
a bushel.
Millers say that they were COM
PEELED to pay this premium in order
to obtain sufficient wheat to keep
their mills running to supply their
trade. Wheat will continue to sell
at prices fixed by the government
and as the Nebraska cereal ranks
the highest of any grown. millers
are of the opinion that the grain will
sell at the government maximum.
All of the millers reported good
business, with prospects of it con-
tinuing during the summer, fall and
winter and that the export demand
will be unprecedented.
Nebraska -four, according to the
millers of the state, all through the
east is regarded as the best milled
and consequently the we'll known
brands sell at a premium over the
output of mills in other localities.
