PRESIDENT TO HAVE PEACE
CONFERENCE OF HIS OWN

w ASHINGTON- - President Roose.
W welt is not satisfied with the
amount of work done or likely to be
done in the interest of peace by the
conference at The Hague, so he is
going to have one of his own. It's
delegates are to be the ambassadors
accredited to him by the several pow
ers. 1t is possible that ministers may
be taken in, but that is not settled.
Not many of them represent nations
with stick large enough to make
them factors in settling world prob
lens.
The underlying idea is that the am
bassadors, by means of informal talks
among themselves, will be able to
come to an understanding about ques-
tions In which are interested all the
big powers of value in settling dis
putes. Disarmament, limitation of
armament, new rules of war-the So
called larger questions which the con-
ference at The Hague is handling
will not be touched. Disputes are
not likely to arise on account of them.

In short, was chambermaid and
waitress and Office assistant all in

run he was there and back in a jiffy.
He apparently had mother who kept
him immaculate in all details from
f1ngernails to shoes. He said "Yes.

ally, he could add and write a fair

from the office boys job and. of course
married the boss daughter and be-
came head of the firm in due time.
This paragon of lad, according to
business men, has passed. OF course,
business conditions have changal, too.

a habit of getting down to the office

over Korea, Japan's interest in China,
as distinguished from the rights OF
other powers, the Congo question and
matters of live interest in diplomatic
exchanges are the things the ambas.
sadors are expected to talk about.
A meeting Of ambassadors will first
be held to arrange for more formal
meetings. At the first meeting the
ambassadors will be addressed either
by the president or by Secretary Root,
who will explain why they have been
called together. After that the presi
dent will invite them to arrange for
further meetings.
So far as can now be seen, nothing
in the way of treaties will result
There is no such intention. It is to
be merely a getting together to ex.
change views and have an informal
understanding among the powers
about what they would do in certain
contingencies.
The greatest of these contingencies
is the death or abdication of the EN-.
press dowager of China. When that
happens it is feared there will be
trouble, either on account of China's
jealousy of Japan or Chinese hatred
on the Manchu dynasty.

! to % per cent. under ordinary circum.
stances.
A grain containing % per cent. Of
water will ferment and spoil in an ele-
vator or ships hold under unfavora-
bic conditions, and, therefore, is dan
gerous grain to buy. Yet it's kernels
are pretty sure to be plump, sound and
handsome, and to secure a high grad
ing by the inspector, who judges chief
ly by appearances.
On the other hand, a grain from a
dry country, which contains IL per
cent. or thereabouts of moisture, is
not as handsome, as rule, and will
be graded lower. Yet this grain when
put into ship for voyage across the
ocean will absorb a considerable per-
centage of moisture and will reach
its destination looking fine, plump
and full, with an increase of several
per cent. in weight.
The shipper actually stands to
make more money on certain grains
as a result of their absorption of
moisture on voyage, than the cost Of
freight. He could make money by
loading his grain on boat, giving it
a voyage for its health and bringing
it back to the first port for sale.
This is merely a suggestion of the
inef1ciency of the present methods of
testing grain.

MILLION DOLLARS NEEDED
FOR GRAIN INSPECTION
THE indications are that the work

THE indications are that the work
/ of the experimental laboratories
for the study of scientific grain in
spection and grading, recently estab-
lished in st. Louis, Minneapolis, Du-
luth and New York, will be carried on
next year on much more elaborate
scale than at present.
The congressional appropriation for
the work this year is $4,000. Last
year $4,000 was considered sufficient
1t is probable that next year Secretary
Of Agriculture Wilson will urge con-
gress to spend $1,000,0O0 or more in
this important field.
The plan is to appoint a general
commission to take general supervi-
sion of the entire business of deter
mining the grade and character of
grain.
The smallness of the appropriations
in the past have prevented the de-
partment from doing a great deal of
effective work. In fact, it is declared
by some of the experts on matters
pertaining to grains that the present
hit-or-miss method of inspection is ut
terly worthless.
For instance, it is pointed out, that
the most important factor in deter
mining the value and grade of wheat
is the proportion of moisture it con-
tains. This runs all the way from IL
