HOW GRAIN is GRADED
State Inspector demon
stratine grading all sorts
of grain, showing
why in each case.

In all but one or two OF the
grain states all grain sent to
market is graded by the State
Inspection Department and the
inspectors ha We no idea OF
whose grain it is or where 1t
comes from except the line OF
railroad wi ere the sample IS
taken from the sealed car.
In many of the terminal
markets a double check may
be had in case you are not sat
isfied with state inspection.
In Minnesota thu State In
.spector is sending out his ex-
pert graders to farmers meet
ings to grade all samples sub
mitted to him and to show just
why the grade is established
as No. 2, 3 or 4.
The grade depends upon the
weight, moisture content, pur-
ity or freedom from weed
seeds, dirt and mixture of other
kinds of grain as barley in oats
or oats in wheat. The grade
also depends upon the condi-
ton of soundness, sweetness,
etc.

SPECIAL SESSION
TEXAS LEGISLATURE

Gov. o. B. Colquitt of Texas has
called the Legislature to meet in
special session Monday August Path,
to pass a warehouse bill to facilitate
the holding of cotton. The bulk of
the Texas crop is marketed on the
Eastern hemisphere and as the war
has closed the European markets the
Texas crop must either be held I'M
til the war is over, thrown upon the
American mills or sold to specula-
tors. A warehouse bill is proposed
to enable the farmers to store their
cotton in bonded warehouses and for
the issuance of negotiable receipts
under State supervision. The bank
er, it is understood, will, if desired,
loan money on the cotton so stored
at a very low rate Of interest, enabl-
ing the producer to keep possession
of his cotton.
The Texas crop is estimated at
three an one-half million bales, valu-
ed at approximately $250,000, 900.
Texas produces one-fourth of the cot
ton crop of the world. The Ameri-
can mills are capable of handling
about 35 per cent, of the production
of the United States, leaving 8,000,-
600 bales to be exported and of this
amount the English spinners take g.
zoo 900 bales; Germany 2,200,0 900
bales; France 100000 bales; Italy
500,0 600 bales; and the remainder of
the exports go to the mills of Spain,
Belgium, Russia, Japan and other
countries.

PARCEL POST
ELIMINATES THE MIDDLEMAN

Officials of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture have been
testing out the parcel post as a
means of marketing eggs and have
found it highly satisfactory. The de-
partment has shipped 466 lots, con-
sisting of 9,131 eggs to various parts
of the nation and upon arrival at des-
tination, only 1927 eggs, or three and
one-half per cent. of the total were
broken. Ten dozen eggs car be ship
ped in one container a distance of
$50 miles at a cost of AT cents per
dozen. This includes the cost of
transportation and container.
Ohio postal authorities advise that
the farmers and farmers wives Of
this state are utilizing the parcels
post extensively in selling farm pro-
duce direct to the consumers and ex-
cellent results have been obtained.
Last winter when eggs were be
ing sold by retailers at from so to 65
cents to the the farmers
were only receiving 20 and rs cents
per dozen for their product, giving
the middleman from 80 to 40 cents on
each dozen eggs he handled. The par
eel post system Of marketing entirely
eliminates the middleman's profit and
divides the profit of the middleman
among producer and consumer.

When Poisoned by Ivy.

will do this. This often prevents the
Ill effects, and often when the char
acteristic Inflammation has become
manifest it can be reduced to slight
intensity by the same measure. This
cannot be done, however, after the ir.
ritation has become intense; vigorous
washings are impossible and alcohol
painful. Witch hazel water, followed
by application of busting powder, Is
comforting. SalVes are not we'll borne
as a rule, and If the poisoning has
reached a stage not controlled by
these treatments, it is best to have
professional treatment, as few, if any,
of the innumerable domestic remedies
prove to be entitled to reliance.

WITH BOGUS PISTOLS
INSTANCES OF THIEVES HAVING
BEEN SCARED OFF.
Trick 10 an Old One, But Seldom
Fails Of Success-Prank OF New
York High School Boys That
Looked Serious.

Recently Solomon Berman of Man.
haitian scared into flight two thieves
who entered his store by pointing his
index finger at them and fooling them
into supposing that he had a revolver.
1t is IN old trick and yet it succeeds,
just as the confidence man a al
ways sell a gold brick to a farmer
who never heard of Hungry Joe.
A short time ago river thieves
boarded a tug moored along the Hud-
son and attempted to enter the cap
tain's cabin and secure money and
valuables from a small safe he had
there. The engineer Of the little boat
heard the thieves. and creeping up
out of the engine room called: Halt!
Who's that? Halt, or I'll fre!" At
the same time he ran around the side
of the cabin with a dipper handle.
Not until the thieves got ashore did
1t seem to occur to them that there
couldn't have been a pistol in their
disturber's hand or he would have
fired. When it came to mind they re-
treated to a safe distance, and then
shaking their fists at the grinning en-
gineer cursed hin profusely.
Over near Hunts Point a few
months ago they had an amusing case
Of cross pistol" purposes. Several
dwellings had been robbed and every
body in the vicinity became suspicious
of the slightest unusual movement
after dark. Two high school boys
planned a masked holdup Of a citizen
after dark. They held him up all right,
both presenting proper looking PTS
tolls with shining barrels. After the
citizen handed out all of his valuables
and whined abjectly that he had
nothing more the boys revealed them
selves.
In a great rage the citizen then blew
a police whistle and a mounted off,
GER galloped up. The boys protested
they had only joked with q neighbor.
The citizen declared they should be
punished. The officer was willing to
look lightly on the affair until 1t was
pointed out that pistols had been
brandished.
This made the matter serious. The
officer arrested the boys and took
from them the weapons that might
bring them a term Of years in prison,
30 heavy is the New York penalty.
But when the pistols were exposed
the whole matter was dropped. The
pistols were first rate limitations OF
the real thing. only in this case they
could aYnfoda moro doad,

Why need a life be short to be mer-

the lump or two that goes In the cot

A long life and a merry one, sanely,

Is the life. The other counterfeit
maxim came when youth and folly
first tasted the quick dregs that come
