The public have an erroneous idea
as to what the quality of the Govern
ment Standard Flour will be."'
This Flour is not to he' Graham,
nor even Whole Wheat .Flour, It will
be Pure White Flour, being 100 per
cent of the flour that i* contained tb
good sound wheat. It will be dreeaed
and lifted, and put through silks as
before, but instead of several grad as
all the flour will be blended together,
and only one grade will be on the
market.
This P our will not heve quite the

- The principal aim of the KagaUtfas
is to standardise the quality of flour
ussd all over Canada, The following
suggestions will show how to handle
the m w flour successfully.
On account of containing the n o n
glutinous portions of th t wheat harry,
the flour may work in a slightly differ­

The wedding was a very quite one

German papers are urging all Ger­
man school boards to send delegates.
All Trustees and the Secretary of
each dmtrict can attend as delegates,
—that is (oar from each rural school
district
Last year German speaking trus­
tees had n majority at the conven­
tion and voted down a resolution
favorable to the English language.
Not a single delegate from this vici­
nity was there to support the English
language, but the German school
boards were well represented. What
are you doing this year 1 Will you
wake up aud have an English speak­
ing majority at the convention ?
In high schools where each teacher j
has only two or three grades to
attend to, they can easily spare time'
to take np other languages. But in
the common schools with from five to
eight grades the teacher is already
overworked and-there is no time for

the men who went away and ibiwe

Looking to the future, it la a ssri

But this is exactly what the German
papers are^now doing, and it is up to
the English-speaking Trustees to lake
a hand in the game. Appoint iuie or
more Trustees and your Secretary as
Delegates, and send their nim rs to
J. McCarthy, Secretary Trustees
Assodotion, Regina. Each Delegate
attending the convention must bring
a certificate signed by the Secretary
and stamped with the seal of the
school district. The school board
appointing delegatea should vote to
pay their expenses out of the school
funds.
