To the Contest Editor:
I am glad to ’• e number
among the thousands of house
keepers wlio know from actual
test the excellent qualities of
“(’.old Leaf" flour. Lnlike the
process of making the wine of
old which improved with age,
Cold Leaf Hour has long since i
attained that perfection which
makes it the best flour on the
market for all kinds of bread- 1
stuffs. I
The little “gold leaf" printed J
on every sack is equivalent to
the “sterling" on silver, and is a
stamp of purity and excellence
that has brought before the bus
iness world the Jackson, Mo.
Milling Co. and their local
agents, The Valley Commission
Company. j
Yours truly, I
Lizzie Culletto.

Young Man Must Have Frsndv.
! For boys and young men fri shin
| is a prime necessity c ex v nee.
When a man has established himself
in life and the interests of home and
| wife and family have absorbed him,
he may, perhaps, dispense with friend
ship. But as long as he is young, un
j married and unsettled, he is as de
j pendent on friendship as on air or
food.
Town Crier Has Fertile Mind.
The town crier of Folkestone, En®
land, has found a novel way of solv
ing a difficulty arising in a quarrel
i with the lord who owns the town.
The lord forbade the shouting of the
crier on the beach, and the crier, who
loves his profession, bought a boat
and a megaphone, and now shouts Ills
announcements from the crest of the
waves to the assembled people on the
beach.

Mrs. Wayupp—"So they have just
had their first quarrel?” Mrs. Blase—
“Yes. After fifteen years of married
life they have just discovered that
‘hey belong to opposite churches.”—•

“The Shell With a Nickname”
WE’RE proud of the fact that gunners have j
nick-named our black powder loads. To go i
around the country and hear them talk about
“The Old Reliable Yellow Shells" feels as good as a
cheery greeting and a slap on the back.
New Club Shells are really the premier black powder
shells of this country—Standard for over 50 years.
The No. 2 Primer gives a snappy ignition —surer and
quicker than you usually find in black powder shells.
For results in your shooting, rifle or shotgun—got Remington
mmggtM UMC ammunition—with die Red B«il Mark on box.
Ask the hvest dealer in this community. He carries them.
