wheat in barrel Of Gold Leaf than in any

by the most scientific and efficient methods

Bryan is an Odd Fellow.

Davis and Dawes are Presbyte

Bryan and La Toilette are Bap-

Coolidge is a Congregationalisg

Davis, should he be elected, would
enable the Presbyterians to tie the

When Chief Prou,
Wanted Flour

IN the pioneer days, when the long sum-
mer hunt was over, Chief Proud Eagle
and his braves returned again to harvest
their spring paintings. They brought their
grain to Major Bollinger's Mill on the
White Water River near Jackson, Missouri,
to be ground into -four.
As early as 1919, when the Mississippi Val
ley was still vast wilderness, this mill, later
the Cape County Milling Company, ground
grain for the pioneer settlers and the Usage,
Delaware and Pawnee Indians.
For a century and quarter the Cape Coun-
ty Mills, millers of Gold Leaf Flour, have
served the entire South and Southwest
There are now five large mills with cap
acity forty times that of the original White
Water River mill.

AEfkiIHNt6l TASK
IS COSTLY ONE
German Wartime Navy Being
Raised at Scapa Flow Only
After Tremendous Effort

SCAPA FLOW, Scotland, Sept
.16.The first of Germanys wartime
navy, which was sent to the bottom
of the sea here by her officers on
i June. 81, 1919, has been raised ard
t.wiH be, consigned to an equally e.
rnnminious end on the scrap-lron
heap.
A firm of London engineers has
completed the salvage of The vessel
the destroyer V70-after a year,
work and many unsuccessful al
tempts to float her.
The V70 was big ship Of the So
class which had sunk in 20 fathoms
of water in the center of the Flow.
The engineers had exhausted the
best known methods of ship salvag-
ing before using the system Of I'M
derslinging heavy cables and raising
the ship by means of the floating
dock. This latter method was used
about six weeks ago when the YES
sci was raised eleven feet before
the iron chains which were then
used broke, thus allowing the prize
to settle once again to the bottom.
Wire cables We're then substituted
which supported the enormous
weight long enough to permit the
dock to be placed under the ship.
The dock was then towed near
the shore where workmen will start
cutting through the heavy steel hull
and dismantle the fittings. At pres
ent the engineers are unable to es-
innate the ships value but after
they had pierced the heavy seaWoed
coating they found the metal to be
in better state than was expected
They claim that the salvage work,
though costly, will show a good
profit but it will not make very
large contribution to aiding the rep
arations payments.
Several of the other ships which
were scuttled in the Flow viii be
raised in a similar manner but it
will take between three and four
years to complete the work.
