SENDS FLOUR TO
ENTIRE WORLD
Fertility Of Nebraska Farms
Advertised by Ideal Product
of Largest Concern In
State. -.

Puritan -four, made in Nebraska's
largest and most complete mill, has
been one Of the best publicity agents
that the state has enjoyed. 1t is a
long cry from the primitive mill
erected in 1870 to the modern mill
ing plant of today, yet the Schuyler
mills still carry the same business
spirit of optimism and progress that
made it possible for mill to be
installed so years ago.
Then, as now, the men behind the
movement were such ardent believ-
ers in the future of the state that
they risked all in a venture which
was the forerunner of today's large
industry. Today the Schuyler mill
is considered by millers to be the
last word in successfully balanced
plant, where mistakes cannot occur.
This plant has made the name of
Nebraska wheat famous as far east
as the Alleghenies, and south to the
gulf points. At the present time the
Observation-Disclosures concern con-
siders the world its field, carrying
the slogan of good Nebraska wheat
to the far ends of the earth.
There is perhaps no one firm in
Nebraska which has done so much
for the state in a publicity way as
this concern. 1t carries in its mod
cen plant a miniature mill, bakery,
laboratory, and an experimental de-
partment manned by the best brains
that American universities can sup
ply.
This equipment, backed by ample
capital, has placed Nebraska wheat
and -four high in the worlds mar
kets, and carried to the four winds
the story of Nebraska's greatness
as producing state.

of Books

think of the library and I can't. You
would not believe me, for you cam
not know what books mean to the
women here. I thank you for them
and for myself"
And so it came to pass that Ma
Holmes, who never had book of
her own, came to De a librarian; for
since that day Ma Holmes has taken
care of the library and given out the
books among her neighbors and
seen that they were returned, so
that they might always be in circu-
lation. Nor is that all, for the work
Ma Holmes was doing came to the
notice of the bishop of that diocese
of the Protestant Episcopal church,
and he visited her island. and as a
result there has been built COM
nlurity house, so that the keen edge
o. loneliness has been taken off the
lives of these fisher folk.
Campaign Needs Funds.
Now the sending out of travelling
libraries is one important work OF
the Church Periodical club. At
present 254 cases of books are tour
irg the country, reaching just such
remote places as the island where
Ma Holmes lives, and It is TO
strengthen and increase just such
features of its work that the Pro-
testant Episcopal church is conduct
ing the nationwide campaign.
At present the Church Periodical
club is handicapped for lack Of
funds. The nationwide campaign
hopes to raise those funds and also
t. interest churchmen and women,
so that they may donate Libraries
like that which reached Ma Holmes.

FOUND IN KANSAS

ELK LAKE, Kan, Feb. 27.-What Il
vithOut doubt the largest gas we'll in
United States now, was drilled in
Ie other afternoon four miles north
west of Elk City by the Elk Valley
Syndicate. It is No. on the King
Farm, and is located in section No. 20.
range 81, township No. Is. The well
was tested Immediately with a gauge
and the capacity was found to be
100000 cubic feet daily.
When the gas sand was penetrated
the gas broke forth in such volume
that the drilling tools were thrown
about 500 feet into the air and the
drilling rig was partially demolished.
The casing had been securely an
chored and all preparations made to
care for a well of large volume, SO
that within a few minutes after the
monster well was drilled in the gate
valve was closed and the flow sue
scessfully shut in.
The well is 1927 feet in depth and
gas is found in the same sand as the
other big gas wells in the Elk City
field. The total potential production
of the field is now about $4,000. 900
cubic feet Of gas daily from nineteen
wells, according to actual tests by
gauge when the wells were drilled in.
A number OF other wells are now
drilling in the big gas field.
