SAVING MADE IN BULkING GRAIN
Committee Finds Saving of 1f5
Cents a Bushel in Handling
Without Sacks.


The difference in cost of handling
grain in sacks and in bulk has been
the subject of great deal of specu-
lation in Whitman county, Washing
ton, during the past year. To arrive at
some fair conception of the cost the
county Farmers Union appointed a
committee to investigate.
We. your committee appointed to
ascertain the relative cost of handling
wheat, bulk and sacked, from the
threshing machine to and on board
ship, beg to report as follows:
We gathered information from vari-
lou sources and find rather wide
range of figures representing costs,
occasioned by the differences in han
ding facilities and the amount han
died at any given place, so that an
average, or approximate cost cover
ing a wide range of conditions seems
to be the most reliable. The cost Of
threshing depends largely upon the
amount of the operation that is as
sumed by the threshing machine man.
Taking it as it is done in this coun-
try, where all the labor of putting the
htraw from the cheat in the field, or
the straw in the stack to the machine
by the machine man, the cost averages
about as follows:
Threshing sacked grain, per bushel
of 6. lbs, 15c per bushel including
sacks.
Threshing bulk grain per bushel of
so lbs, 9 2-9c per bushel.
Delivery, based on five-mile haul,
sacked, 21ac per bushel.
Delivery, based on five-mile haul,
bulk, 215c per bushel.
Handling sacked grain through ware
house, lac per bushel.
Handling bulk grain through eleva-
tor, 1c per bushel.
Freight, based on tic per cwt. rate
sacked, 10 1-5c per bushel.
Freight based on tic per cwt. rate
bulk, 10 1-5c per bushel.

Brennan, Tex.-Miss Dorothy Book

Of twenty years, has solved the prob

morning roll call. Miss Booker has
trained pet parrot to call the roll.
Professor Tom, as he has been called

pupils not arriving on time, especially
during the rainy season. She imme.

touring South America. Fortunately,

No sooner did the young schoolmis-
tress see the bird than she evolved
the idea Of training 1t. At first she
did not have much success, but dill

When the process Of training was
first under way the bird was allowed
to sit upon perch in the schoolroom
and listen to the teacher call the roll
He was allowed to do this for two
weeks, and at first always was re-.

person he would have thought Of meet
ing in Gilbert's Office. He had prom
ised himself that after the election, no
matter whether it went his way or not,
he would see her and make his ex-
cuses for not having had the time to
be with her as he had wished. He
would also begin to look about for
purchaser for the News. He hoped he
would have no difficulty in getting Clio
ria to leave Belmont. Then for the
new life with her where they could be
ever together, one in heart and hope
and happiness.
When Williams told Wright that
Judge Gilbert was ready to see him,
he opened the door and saw the law
yer advancing to meet him with ex-
tended hand. The adviser Of Belmont
corporations knew the value Of hand
shake and cordial greeting. 1t made
visit to his office take on the air Of
social affair.
"I'm so glad you came" he said to
the editor, shaking hands heartily.
Il came as soon as could" Wright
was not going to be outdone, and
therefore used his most genial tone,
although the shaking hands on his
side was a perfunctory performance.
He knew Judge Gilbert's real attitude,
and undue cordially under the circum-
stances savored too much of the
Greeks bearing gifts.
