Grading Grain.

The "why" and show" of grading
grain at the primary markets of the
world are to be subjects which will be
opened and made plain to grain grow
ers by chief inspectors of western grain
exchanges, who are to have an impor
tant part in the National Corn Exposi-
ton at Omaha, Neb., from December
9Th to 18th, 1908, inc.
Early in the year when plans were
being made for holding the big agricul-
tural show at Omaha, the grain dealers
took an active interest and arrange
ments have been made for inspectors
and secretaries of the exchanges to
visit Omaha. The grower, the buyer
at the co0utry station, the terminal
elevator operator and the Inspector
whose certificate gives the grain grade
and influences the price, will come to-
gether for a conference. Grain will be
graded according to the methods recog-
nized in the primary markets of the
world, and the grower may learn why
his grain does not ''top the market.
and chow" the inspector tells the buy
er what the grain will bring in the
markets at home or abroad.
Besides taking this important part in
the exposition at Omaha, the grain in
spectors will be judges and associate
judges of exhibits in many of the
classes and will add greatly TO the
amount of knowledge to be gained
from visiting Omaha.
The grain deslers in all parts of the
country are active in the support of
the corn show movement. They have
experienced poor or scrub" grains of
all varieties and no one class will wei
come the time when American grain
is brought nearer to perfection than
those who buy and sell-thOse who
compete in European markets with the
growers of the world, who are furnish
ing the non-producing countries with
breadstuffs from the surpluses in the
agricultural countries.

Liquor Prosecutions.

The Luray Herald last week con-
tanned the following written by Judge
Ruppenthal:
ga interesting thing in connection
with court in some counties is to watch
how witnesses seek TO avoid the sheriff
in liquor cases and similar ones. A
sheriff needs strategy to catch some
of them. The necessity of choice be-
tween telling the truth or perjuring is
hard on some men, and they think it
better to dodge subpoena if possible .
''Have you ever noticed that witness
es can usually remember quite clearly
the names, labels and inscriptions such
as pop, ginger ale, etc., on boxes. bot
ties, ETC., when they are SO labeled,
but if not labeled with some innocent
label, they have great difficulty in re-
calling the inscriptions? Words ike
pop, soda water, lemonade and ginger
ale seem to make strong and lasting
impression on the senses Of sight and
hearing and on the memory; but words
like beer. whiskey, alcohol, etc., seem
scarcely to leave any impression on the
senses or the memory The effect of
the liquids upon taste and memory
thereof seem also similar to those of
the words,
Now, the honest truth Of this trouble
lies much with the District Judges,
who under the new law too often are
lenient with the parole law. If they
would look over the docket where they
find a man has been before the court
on the same kind Of charge, they would
refuse to be lenient, people would think
more of helping the court in the prose
cution-
In this county the same names and
offenses appear year after year, con-
victions often follow, they gladly pay
the fine, but the jail sentence, which is
dreaded, is not enforced and the prison
er serves but day or two and the
people grow diegusted and try to avoid
giving testimony.

Thomas Rood Settled

The people will rejoice that the long
drawn out contest over this road in the
south part of the city is settled. even
if it did cost mouey.
Mrs. Thomas has always contended
that she should be paid for her lard
and for the nuisance of road near
their door. She has urged that the
road be located on the section line and
would gladly have given that thirty
foot strip for the road. The farmers
preferred it as it came direct from the
bridge, which is narrow and badly 10
Gated anyhow.
The city seemed determined to have
the direct outlet, so paid her $500 for
damages and ANNOYANCE and to build a
fence, paid her $3.50 for the land taken
and agreed that the road in front of
the house should be oiled next spring
and hest of all, for the farmers, that q
new wide bridge should be built across
the creek in line with the road. At
the advise of her friends she accepted d
and the barriers were removed for all
time.
The present bridge has always been
an outrage, with a treacherous outlet
on the south side, dangerous one on
the north side, and worse than all the
bridge is so narraw that but one team
at time can be on it. the other must
wait on one of the dangerous approach
es. Now we will have a good bridge.

At Q recent meeting OF an Iowa
Farmers Institute held in Columbus
Junction, Mrs o. P. Smith Of Wapello
read paper in which she urged the
young girl of to-day to marry farmer
and the truth and wisdom which she in
stilled into that address is very pleas
ant after all of the foolish talk one
hears of the burdens of the farmers
wife. Mrs. Smith says: ''Let me say
to the girl of the period, who may
sometime contemplate marriage, let
not the haekneyed cry of ''drudgery
and no society" defer her from accept
ing her lover because he happens to be
a farmer. Remember that life any
where is what you make it. Bring to
the farm home your ideals. We are
told the ideal Is the bread of the soul
Beware of being deluded into initiating
your sister in the city or village, or on
the neighboring farm. And in time
you can give seven times seven good
reasons why you chose as you did, real
ixing that an all-around growth of man.
hood and womanhood has continued
And your life Is depending upon His
laws and His creatures has made you
feel that you have seen God. And
with Edwin Markham you will count it
good fortune to man to draw into
his mind the calm sanity of the rocks
and to distill into his heart the color
and odor of the orchard bloom. AS he
walks over the great fields the strength
of the ground arises into his body and
the glory Of the sun descends into his
soul"
There is much wisdom in what Mrs.
Smith says and we doubt If anyone can
refute her statements. Of course the
farmer and his wife have their burdens
but who in all the world has not.
