From the day OF his appoint
ment, Director Merriam in-|
sisted that only a building
large enough to put practi-
cally all the employees on the
floor would answer. That
shut out every existing build
ing in Washington. T h IN
there WIS talk OF the Bureau
erecting a temporary build
ing upon Government prop
erty but the accounting ofH.
GERS of the Treasury ended
that by deciding thatno part
of the appropriation for the
Bureau could be used for
such a purpose. Then the
shadow Of the job became vis
ible. Offers were asked from
owners of lots large enough
>to erect the sort of building
required. The only one that
suited Director Merriam was
submitted by a man who be-
came rich as we'll as familiar
with jobs while holding office
under the old government OF
the District of Columbia. 1t
was accepted, and a lense
made for five years, which is
likely to be extended to seven
or eight before the Census
work is completed, at an an
nual rental of $25, 900, The
ground upon which this bull
ding is to be erected has been
used as a coal yard for years
the rental hardly being en-
ough to paw the taxes, and
it is claimed that $780, 900
is to he spent in erecting the
building. Even if that amount
were expended, the leas e
will still be a very profita bic
one, when it is considered
that money is going begging
when the security is as good
as this, at 4 per cent; but an
expert who has seen the
rough plan for the building
says, it will not cost much,
if any more than $4,000.
Not a little surprise was ex
pressed in Washington when
it was learned that General

Unless some of the shrewd-

fore the deal got out Now,
friends of Senators Mcmillan
and Burrows say that if AL
ger doesn't resign yoluntari-
ly, they have the means to
compel Mr.. Mckinley to ask
for his resignatiOn. Some
think Mr.. Mckinley will do
that without any compul-
sion, not only because of his
friendliness towards Senator
Mcmillan, bnt because of his
dislike for Pingrne on account
of his free criticisms on sew

NEW USES FOR CORN.


New York Sun.
Farmers in the corn belt
may not be aware OF thefact,
but il is, nevertheless, trne,
that the manufacturers o!
the new sInokeless powder
promises to benefit them ex.
tensively. The British Govern
ment closed Il contract last
fall with the Standard Distil-
ling Co., Of Chicago. for the
immediate delivery OF 1914
600 gallons OF distilled spir-
its Mt Montreal. with an init
nation that it would want
100000 gallons more in a
short time. The spirits order
Ell were for use in the manu-
facture Of smokeless powder.
TIE Japanese government
has recently ordered 5000
barrels of spirits for the same
purpose, and has given no,
tice of large future require
ments. Our own government
has already ordered 10000
barrels and further orders
will follow. Henceforth smoke
less powder will be exclusive
ly used in civil warfare, and
in the manufacture of t h i 8
powder distilled spirits play
a prominent part, this open
ing up a new and extensive
market for American corn.
In the light of these facts,
the preparations of G rea t
Britain and the constant ru-
mors of u great European
war take on local and per-
sonal interest to every West
ern|corn grower. An extensive
war among the great Euro
pean nations would have a
marked effect upon the mar
ket for spirits and for corn,
as the whole world is to a
large extent dependent upon
America for this ingredient
of smokeless powder, land this
powder is a necessity in war
fare. This use for corn, COUP
led with the forign demand
for cheap food article, which
is increasing rapidly, assures
the farmer a fair price for his
staple; but other new de-
mands OF equal Importance
should not be overlooked
The number Ofarticles Ofcom
merse that is now b e n g
made from corn has reached
twenty-nine, and every par
ticle of the grain is at pres
ent turned into some useful
product. The glucose sugar
refining companies alone u an
ufacture this number of prod
ucts and the number Of bush
els of corn consumed by these
factories in the United States
reach we'll into the millions.
The following IS a list oil
the products now being man
utactured from corn without
the use of any other compo-
nent material:
Mixing glncoes, of t h re
kinds, used oy refiners of ta-
BILE syrups, brewers, leather
manufacturers, jelly makers
fruit preserves and apotheca
ries.
Crystal glucose, of 4 kinds
used by manufacturing con
fectioners.
Grape sugar, of two kinds
used by brewers principally
aud also by tanners.

cept as to the feeling that a
corn product is taking the
place Of a wheat product.
Four kinds dextrine, used
by fine abric makers, paper
box makers, mucilage and
glue maker, apothecaries and
many industries requiring a
strong adhesive agent.
Corn oil, used by table oil
mixers, lnbricating oil mix
ers, manufacturers, paint
manufacturers, a n d many
similar industries where vege
table oils are employed.
Corn oil cake gluten food,
chop feed, and gluten meal,
all cattle,feeding stuffs of a
very high grade and capable
of being scientifically fed with
superior advantages.
Rubber substitute, a sub
stitute for crude rubber and
very extensively used. Corn
germ the material from which
the oil cakes are obtained.
British gum, a starch which
makes a very adhesive medi-
nm, and is used by textile
mills for running the colors,
as we'll as by manufacturers
who require a very strong ad
hesive medium that contains
no trac of acid.
Granulated gum which com
petes with gum arabic, is u.s.
ed successfully in it's place,
and finds a ready preference
by reason of the absence OF
any offensive odor.
Probably the most impor-
tant in the above list ofprod
ucts is rubber substitute, the
substance which the Chicago
chemists have recen t ! y
brought to perfection. This
new rubber, made from the
waste of ordinary yello "
corn, will cheaper the price
of rubber goods 25 per cent.
Corn rubber must be combin
ed with an equal quantity o1
Para rubber to give it gener'
al utility. Twenty chemists
have been employed at the
Chicago refinery for a wear in
bringing this new rubber to
perfection. The great diff
Guilty has been to make a pre-
duct that would resist heat,
At last the chemists h ave
developed a quality OF corr
rubber that will bend, stretch
and show all the resi|iency o
the best Para, which is the
standard of commerce In thu
manufacture of glucose part
of theucorn, about 5per cent
could not be utilized. This
waste ia what vii. be trans
formed into the new substi
tute for rubber. Corn rubber
has almost the same appear
ance as the ordinary reddish
brown India rubber. Oil o
corn, from which principally
the rubber is made, does no
oxldize readily. Its tendency
toward oxidation is one o
the principal defects of Indis
rubber. The chemists WHIT
have been working on corl
rubber declares this to be al
enormous advantage OF TIN
new product. Articles manu-
factured from it will Away
remain plant and not crack
1t is calculated that corr
rubber can be sold at 6 cent
a pound. 1t can be adapted
to nearly all the uses to whicl
