tablisbed a state-wide reputation on their “Old Fashioned Brand Pure Buckwheat Flour,” which is, cause for satisfaction and makes Mr. Sprague, the proprietor, and his corps of assistants feel proud. In war times such as these Jasper county is indeed lortunate in having a well-managed, up-to-date mill, and it should be liberally patronized from a patriotic viewpoint if from no Other, but this is Trot necessary for the quality of the product and the convenience, not to speak o's the economical phase, makes it worth one’s while to patronize this local industry. By so doing it will be possible for Mr. Sprague to purchase all of the home grown wheat and will make Jasper county independent of the rest of the world for its flour supply. A great saving can thus be realized in transportation alone for when you use a foreign made flour you pay the freight on the wheat to the mill and again pay the freight on the flour from the mill to your home town. Frorq this viewpoint alone Blue Ribbon nour should be used by every housewife in Jasper county and also sold by every grocer in tile county. Here is one enterprise that can do more for Jasper county and its people than any other, and to best serve them it needs- and is deserving of unstinted patronage. In order to care for his increasing business, Mr. Sprague has recently employed a miller of ability and with a life-time’s experience, Charles Bracker of Rockville, Indiana, ■who was employed by Round Bros, for many years. Mr. Bracker states that'Blue Ribbon flour, in his opinion, has no superior on the market.—Advt.

The men of this church have made it possible to conduct evening meetings without any violation of the soundest principles of patriotism, by going to the forest and cutting fuel for the •hurch. At no time has the country needed the services of the church more than now. Therefore, beginning with the New Year the'pastor will conduct evangelistic services on Sunday evenings,. ~ V.- : .f- ——- James School House 2 p. m., Sunday school; 3 p. m., preaching service.
