FOREST SUPERVISOR DUTHIE
WARNS AGAINST FIRES

Forest Supervisor George A. Duthie,
of the Black Hills Forest, is doing all he
can to make the people realize how seri
Gus the danger is from forest fires.
Following Is what thn Supervisor says,
and his suggestions should be carefully
consdered
'Ihe fire situation at the present time
throughout the Black Hills is very criti
cal Notwithstanding heavy showers
which have recently occurred at some
points. During the past week sixteen
fires have occurred in the Black Hills
and harney Forests. Besides the valu-
able timber and grazing that has been
destroyed, it has cost the Forest Service
nearly 81 10000 to fight these fires and
several OF them, notably the fire in Gil
lett Canyon, one in the Bear Lodge
Mountains, and one in the Limestone
region near the head of Speartish Creek
are not yet extingushed
This hot weather should draw a large
number OF picnicing, fishing and camp
ing parties TO cool shady canyons.

people will take advantage of the excel

CUSTER FLOUR MILL

The Custer Milling Company are oper-
ating an American Midget Marvel Flour
Mill This mill and its process of -four
making are most interesting 1t is en-
trely self-contained and makes -four in
one minute after the wheat enters the
mill There is total absence of the
usual maze of elevators conveyors and
the miscellaneous machinery of the old
process which one expects to encounter.
The entire plant is more cleanly and
sanitary The features of the Marvel
system of milling are its shortness Of
duration and extreme gentleGess. These
points are absolutely essential for the
production of really good flour. They
preserve the shape of the starch and
gluten cells of the wheat berry and, on
that account, the bread will raise better,
retain its moisture, is more dIgestble
and displays the most delicious aud
palatabe nature flavor. This delightful
flavor is not present in -four made by
any other method.
The Custer mill is open at all times
for inspection and the public is cordially
invited to visit it and see how flour is
made the modern Marvel way. The
mill has been busy from the beginning
and the owners are pleased and encour-
aged by this substantial evidence of the
public desire To patronize home indus
try. 1t shows the public appreciates it
means greater prosperity for us all to
buy and sell at home. The money We
spend at home remains to come back to
us in more trade, increased real estate
values, better roads, finer schools and
lower taxes. The money we spend
away from home stays away to the bene-
tit of some other community.
The Milling Company ask for the CO.
operation and patronage of the home
people aud they will always receive,
from this mill, only the fairest treat
ment and the best flour it is possible TO
make.
