Removal Notfcc and Circular Letter to Our Customers

DEAR SIR: , Incidental to the volume of our business, the opening of a complete new set of books is both necessary and essential. In doing4his it is naturally the desire to transfer to the new book only such accounts as are not yet due, we thus economize the time as well as space in the

. 1 904 books. - Experience has shown that it is exceedingly desirable and beneficial to both the firm and customers that accounts be each year closed tb a given date, owing to the fadt that payments on account during the year compel detailed statements,, and the plan suggested prevents long

detailed statements on the part of the firm, and what might perhaps be looked upon at times by a customer as a dunning letter when not so intended.

It is our purpose to soon move into our new quarters which will entail quite an expense, the co-operation of our friends will be greatly appreciated.- We take this opportunity to thank our many friends and customers who have favored us with their trade during the past year, and assuring them there is no house in the country that can better serve their interests. -

War News is Expensive. News from the seat of the Lusso Japanese war is being cabled and tele graphed to this country at the rate of lrom 28J to 50$ cents a word., The former rate obtains from points in China Especially Chee Foo, where much of the direct news originates. The higher rate is from Japan. The words must traveU2.608 miles before they reach their destination. A cable gram irom Japan of 1,000 words, less than a newspaper column, costs $505 A Question of Flour. Every family uses more or less flour but a large number are not getting tbe full value of their money in return iu both quality and quantity of bread they make from the flour they use. Now Pillsbury's Best Flour will make more bread than a great many other Hours aad much better bread too. You will get from four to seveD more loaves from a sack of Pillsbury's Best Flour than from a sack of ordinary 'flour. It is and has been for years tbe standard of all spring wheat flours. If you are not using Pillsbury's Best Flour try a sack and you will be convinced that these statements are facts. Bread made from Pillskury's Best Flour retains its moisture acd does not dry out. A test will prove it. 18t8 List of Unclaimed Letters. The following letters remain un called for in the post office at Plym outh, Ind., for the week ending Eeb. 18. 1904. GENTLEMEN.

Russia has 8,666.000 square miles of territory The schools and colleges of Russia, contain only about three per cent, of the population. The national debt before the Crimean war was $700,000,000; today it is $3,400,000,000. The population of the empire Is 140,000,000. or fifteen to every square mile of territory. Russia's annual expenditure is about $1,000,000,000, or which $150,000,000 is spent on the army, On a peace footing tbe army numbers 1,000,000 officers and men on a war footing 4,600,000. When a general buys supplies for his army he always adds 20 per cent, which goes to himself. Russia is said to be tbe slowest of the Christian nations in developing and in many respects is scarcely out of the Dark Ages. Wages are low from Poland to Vladivostock, 20 cents a day being a good day's pay. Tbe cost of living is somewhat proportionate, but poverty is the rule everywhere. - U Virv r9 Y) f rvi n vrff ff trhirth tfal. iucuujkui iwiuauuuui nuiui present czar is a member, has held the throne for 300 years.

even the ablest seamen are awkward. Among nihilists women are frequently found. When they are suspected of nihilistic tendencies, and evidence against them bas been found, they are exiled to Siberia without being shown m ich more consideration than tbe men. Bussian women of tbe aristocratic classes are said to be among tbe most beautiful in the world. The gjeater part ot the women of the nobility are highly educated and speak French as fluently as they do their own tongue. Soldiers in Russia, even tbe private troopers, are considered as being above tbe common peasants Poorly paid as they are they have much that the peasant farmer does nut have and there is little objection to the conscription rul s which force tbe ablebodied men into the army. ' Progress of the War. The war developements of the last few days indicate that tbe Japanese

military staff is bending all its ener gies to put an army oTerwbelming in numbers in Corea The Hermit kins- ! dom tuus becomes the base of opera tlons for a campaign to the rear of - A. A . 1 J1 Luit riuur as wen as ior an aurance against the Russian line on the Yalu river. The repulse of the Japanese at Tal ien-Wau and Pigeon Bay indicates that strategic points in the vicinity of Port Arthur are strongly guarded. Pigeon Bay is on the west side of the Liao-Tuog peninsula, parallel almost with Talien-Wan on the east side, and between tbem and Port Arthur tbe country is practically a great Russian camp. In the lower part of Talien-Wan bav is the city of Dalney, on which Russia has spent since 1901 $20,000,000 a year, and which was built under tbe direction of American engineers on American models. Dalny is purely a commercial city, and its defense is in the forts at Talien-Wan. On tbe Liao-Tung peninsula to the south of Talien-Wan and Pigeon Bay is massed the wealth of Russia in the East, and Japan is striking at the vital point in the Russian line. On the Yalu river the Russian army oas lo its rear a line of mountains, and the Yaiu in its frjnt. This army must be supplied by water from Port Arthur or overland from points on the railwav from Ilarbin to Port Ar thur. The march of a Japanese army on Mukden would break the supply line of this army, as w-jll as cut Port' Arthur off from the north. Therefore military and naval men are looking for developments between Wiju, at the mouth of the Yalu, and Kic-Chow, fifty or more miles north of Port Arthur. x Ilowever, as both armies must be supplied, with communications protected, before heavy engagements are fought, .the campaign on land cannot have the rapidity of movement that has characterized the campaign on the sea.
