Upon the processes and the skill used by the
miller depends the quality of the flour which
he turns out.
Because wheat today must be milled ac-
cording" to rules fixed by the Food Administra-
tion it does not mean that all flour is alike. To
be fully convinced that there is a U;' differ-
ence after using other brands order
Full Cream Flour
And note how much better your bread will
be. Good milling- is the answer.
Ask your grocer for FULL CREAM made

WOMAN BOSSES MINE
Heads Corporation Controlled En-
tirely by Her Sex.
Operates Garnet Mine in Alaska and
Lead Zinc and Silver Mines ;
In Arizona.
New York. From the far West
there now comes to us the lady miner
Miss Anna Durkcc organizer nnd con-
trolling element of a $1000000 cor-
poration run entirely by women. Miss
Durkee operates a garnet mine la
southern Alaska and lead zinc and (di-
ver mines in Arizona. She is the lur-.
gest individual mine owner in the Ont-
Iflan district of Arizona and the most
widely known woman la the mining
world.
It was while she was In Alaska seven
years ago investigating a proposition
in copper that Miss Durkee first be-
came interested in a gurnet mine was
given an option on it nnd finally took
it over in the name of u corporation'
which had a board of 15 women direc-
tors. At the beginning the mine did not
seem to amount to a great' deal but
as Miss Durkee began to develop the
first claim with which the corporation
started veius were discovered opening
out in every direction nnd as the work
continued the amazing fact dawned
that the entire mountain was a gigan-
tic mine of the beautiful crystals with
ledges of garnets extending from tho
sea level to a distance of 3000 feet
up the mountain side.
But the greatest value of the deposit
consists in a by-product of gnrnet
waste discovered by Misa Durkee
who passed two years in a chemical
laboratory working ft out. She had
observed that garnets when milled did
not fuse with iron or brass and follow-
ing this up she discovered a new uso
fur the waste garnet of which there
were hundreds of thousands of tons
'(round to a certain tnesh and put
through a secret process the waste gur-
net makes a separating powder valu-
able in foundry work" she stated.
The garnets of Miss Durkee's mine
nro of the finest variety almandines.
Because of their beauty and hardness
geologists have given them the name
of "precious garnets."

OLD CUSTOMS IN UKRAINE
Wedding Celebrations of Country Pe-
culiar; Horse Thieves Summarily
Dealt With.
The Little Russian costume became
fashionable for women in the Ukraine
lifter the formation of the republic ;
rpd hnnta ulinrf- (skirt. nllowillE the em-
broidery of the chemise to be seen; a
pretty npron; jacket without sieeves
Around the neck large beads of many-
colored glass always In great num-
bers. The married women wear on
their heads a kind of fichu arranged
as a diadem the unmarried girls a
simple Ukrainian kerchief the be-
trothed flowers.
They have an amusing custom: af-
ter the marriage celebration the whole
procession goes to drive ndorned with
broad red ribbons; even the horses are"
abundantly provided with them. That
Is a sign of the bride's virtue. If the
contrary is the case she has neither
ribbons nor music not even a white
veil because the pope refuses to bless
the marriage.
The Little Russians are very super-
stitious. At midsummer they light a
large fire of ferns. The young people
jump over the fire. Those who succeed
in not touching It will marry within
t lie year. If anybody puts It out it Is
a sign of death. Everybody tells for-
tunes with cards predicts wbnt will
happen in the future. On tho eve of
Saint Andrew somebody places mys-
teriously under the bed a pond and a
bridge (a saucer filled with water and
a few pieces of wood). Without know-
ing it one sleeps "on the bridge." Then
one may be sure that the dream of the
night will come true. If one wanted to
act according to the rules one ought to
spend the night on a bridge above a
real pond and look at the water; there
you would be able to read your whole
future life.
In tlie country some of the old bar-
j burlun customs are still In force; the
konokrndes or horse thieves are con-
demned to be quartered or to be at-
tached by a rope to a horse's tail and
dragged until death follows.
Hoodoo Ship Redeems Herself.
The American transport Sierra
! which steamed into harbor recently
! carrying more than 1500 wounded
soldiers is n ship that "came back
according to stories told by old-timers
who follow the sea. A 2ozcn years
ago she rammed a coral reef iu the
south seas and was apparently
wrecked beyond hope of salvage. If
the stories told about her are correct
she has crashed into vessels anchored
in harbor but she has sailed serenely
through the mined waters of tho Eng-
lish channel and evaded the German
submarines on the high sens as she
carried the troops to France. So she
has evened the score and lifted the
spell.
Incidentally despite her misfor-
tunes she is a comfortable ship nnd
a good sea boat. Once she was re-
garded as unlucky and it was almost
Impossible for her owners to get a
crew. When the war broke out the
Sierra broke her spell of misfortune
nnd performed her share In driving
autocracy and militarism Info exile.
Anv sailor will tell you that ships
have a personality. " The Sierra just
cascades personality nnd tempera-
ment. Having shown the world what
she could do in the line of tantrums
she reformed. She has made money
for lier owners despite her accidents
and bus ii n excellent record In the
service of her country.
Goat Got Even.
One really unusual incident oc-
curred dining a recent eiililary cere-
mony in France mid thct revolved
about the goat mascot of one of the
division-; in the parade. Tb:- goat had
followed in with his men as befitted
it proper in: scot but once in the
squiiio lie imis rudely repeated to
the rein- ra:il;s. It dinned that a
ii 'Diilx-r of rod-halt! il -I ;i ;f '"il.eers took
up !h"ir i m is ' M ! -ii in front of the g'tat
ami sloi'il lurinr Hie inspection at nl-
telilioii with 1111'e lioeipiets out back
from under their arms. When the in-
spection was over the odierrs stood at
rase again and looked to their boa-
ts. They were holding only stems.
The mascot bad taken a sweet revenge
and ;i sipuire meal fur the Insult to
his dignity. "

that mine should lie a boy the liome-

idea was to get one that having been
shoved back nnd snubbed all. his littla
life would appreciate the small bit 1
was doing for bin) all out of propor-
tion to what it really cost nnd thus
get myself vastly overpaid in grati-

KEEP YOUR
Liberty Loan Bonds
Following the cessation of hostilities so many per-
sons having bought bonds from purely patriotic motives
dumped them onto the market that the supply over run
the demand an dthe market consequently declined to its
prAsent figures of 941i per cent; considering the demand
that their tax exemption privileges and interest rate as-
sures Liberty Bonds as soon as normal conditions return
no one can afford to sacrifice their bonds at this figure.
Keep them.
