CORN GRADES PROMULGATED.
Order Issued by Acting Secretary
Galloway Takes Eject July I.

b. T. Galloway, Acting Secretary OF
Agriculture, under date OF January :
fixed and promulgated grades for COM
mercial corn to take effect on July 1.
This action was taken in accordance
with the acts of Congress, June 30, 1906,
and March 4, 1913, which authorize the
Secretary of Agriculture to fix definite
grades of grain.
The corn grades as promulgated are
practically the same as the tentative
grades formulated August g. 1913. The
principal exception is that in damaged
corn. grade Is allowed to include L.
per cent; grade ), ! per cent. and grade
6, , per cent, of heat damaged or mahog-
any corn. This allowance for heat dam
aged or mahogany corn is in response to
the resolution adopted by the Grain
Dealers National Association and the
National Council of Farmers Cooperative
Associations, asking for allowances in this
particular. The associations, however,
asked for an allowance Of l per cent for
grade 4 and 2 per cent for grade ), and
the new grades permit only one-half of
this amount in those two grades. The
full allowance requested by these asso-
Citations of per cent of heat damaged
or mahogany corn in grade is allowed.
The request of the Grain Dealers Asso-
citation that the grades be not put into
effect until July /, 1914 was granted.
The grades now promulgated run from
] to 8 as in the original tentative grades.
The request of some of the grain dealers
that grade 3 be designated standard
and not numbered, and that grades 4. ),
and be numbered 8, 4, and 5, respective
ly. is not granted. While it was realized
that the designation of standard grade
for No. grade might be of some ad-
vantage temporarily, it was felt that in
the end it would be much simpler and
to the advantage of all to have the grades
run In straight numerical order.

tober exceeded that OF the corresponding
period of 1872 by 3sSOooo0O pounds, the
value of this larger quantity imported
during the 1913 period was 100000 less
than that of the corresponding period
of 1912.
Coffee imports are much below those OF
1872. the figures for the ten months ended
with October 1913 being 100000 pounds,

last year and the value but 100000.

in wheat. corn, barley, oats. flour. bacon.

MAN MAKES OWN HELL,
DECLARES MINISTER
Rev. DR.. James S. Montgomery Sounds
a Warning Against Being Sus-
ceptible to Flattery.

MAN makes his own hell. and not
God" declared Rev. DIR. James Shera
Montgomery. pastor of Metropolitan Me-
mortal NJ. +. Church. in his sermon yes
terday morning on THE FAN of a Social
Idol" He emphasized his warning against
vanity by depicting the misery and ruin
that susceptibility to flattery brought
upon King Saul. DR.. Montgomery said,
in part:
King Saul. in the binding light of his
genius, worshipped at the glittering
shrine of high success. but the awful
sorrow of an atonement was not to pass
him by. At the end of life he was like
a helpless leaf caught between two winds.
Nothing could rescue him from the grip
of his own past life and because of this
he moved pitilessly forward beneath mad
dened skies to his awful fate. He went
unto hts own. Man makes his own hell
and not God.
This great actor of an old world drama
was flattered to his ruin. Thus it Is that
so many men are braced up. Flattery
comes with mouthful of compliments
and a torrent of personal praises and the
highest senses of his breast become Grip
pl d and he weakens. Flattery fishes
with cork and no lead and fails to strike
at the truthful and sincere depths Of his
being.
What folly ii is for parents to fiatter
either themselves or their children. There
are only about six Presidents to every
generation; only about four business men
of every hundred have unusual success.
Let the parent. teacher and preacher
hand out to the youth the hard, hard
truth, namely, that genius is rare and
that there is scarcely a greatness In a
decade that is worth going across the
street to pick up. Let the children un-
derstand that the redeemer Of this world

HIGH RECORD IN 1918
Imports Less Than 1912, but Larger
Than in Preceding
Years.
COFFEE FALLS SHORT

American export trade made new
high record during 1913. according to
Foreign and Domestic Commerce yester-

The bureau predicts that exports for
this period will approximate $500. 100000,
against 2,3se. 217. 9eS in 1872. Imports dur

Of the United States of $751.G00.0oo.
In imports the total for 1915 will be
less than that of 1872. but larger than
that of any year preceding This decline
in imports in 1918 is due in part to re-

AIR OF MILITANCY

MRS. MCCORMICK TARGET
Tactics Of Ballots Similar 10 These
Of Bricks, Says Mrs. Arthur
N. Dodge.

Mrs Arthur NJ. Dodge. Of New York,
president of the National Association
Opposed to Woman Suffrage. believes
that Mrs Medill Mccormick and the
National Woman's Suffrage Association
have thrown Off all pretense Of conceal
ment and embarked frankly on course
of militancy which parallels the tactics
of the British suffragettes.
Mrs Dodge let this be known yesterday
in a statement issued from the Washing
ton headquarters of her organization.
commenting on the published statement
Saturday of Mrs. Medill Mccormick.
chairman of the Congressional commit
tee of the National Woman's Suffrage
Association.
Mrs. Mccormick openly avows the
intention OF the suffragists to have no
consideration for, and to take no interest
in, integrity in politics. wisdom In
craftsmanship. or serious concern for the
welfare of the country" says Mrs. Dodge.
''The equal franchise, according to her.
takes precedence over everything.
Those women who already have the
right to vote are instructed to regard
nothing except whether or not a candi-
date will do what the suffragists demand.
In other words. here Is the militancy of
the sufYragists demand. In other words,
here Is the militancy of the ballot instead
of the militancy of the brick. II differs
from the militancy of Great Britain only
with 1t in the motive behind 1t and the
end desired.
END JustiAes The Means"
"And. as further enlightenment on how
the suffragists regard government. Mrs.
McCormicks statement claims that in
this way women will prove their earn
estness and their political capacity We
who are opposed to woman suffrage fear
that there may be some who have failed
to realize all that Mrs. McCormick's
statement demands of women II calls
for nothing more nor less than a relent-
less persecution by the suffragists of any
man, however able he may be, who does
not accede to what they demand.
Thus il Is sought to make woman suf-
frage universal in this country by per-
secution and by constituencies misuse
OF the ballot. That is. the advocates of
votes for women take the position that
any means justifies the end-an exact
reproduction of the militant attitude in
England. 1t comes as a fitting sequel
to DIR. Anna Shaw's doctrine of passive
resistance to the collection by the gov
eminent of the income tax from women.
Mrs. Shaw's teaching and Mrs. McCor-
mick's announcement show the same in
difference to what is right and just in
politics and government

here and abroad. has no scruples Its
only object is to gain tho equal fran

And this is followed out to its logical
and absurd conclusion in the spectacle

THE PRICE OF WHEAT

All indications point to a good
price Tor the crop of wheat now be-
ing harvested in the Pacific North
west. While it is certain that the
United States has produced an I'M
usually large crop, it seems equally
certain that the foreign crop will
show a sufficient shortage TO fully
absorb the surplus produced in this
country. This would mean normal
price for the grain.
But the war between Austria and
Servia, into which several great
powers may be drawn, is a factor
which is certain to increase the de-
mand for wheat, to what extent de-
ponds upon the magnitude and dura-
ton of the conflict.
There is still another factor which
should increase the price on this
coast. Ships are now offering to
carry wheat from Pacific ports via
the Panama canal to Liverpool and
other European markets for $3.50
per ton less than the old rate. This
means a saving of nearly eight cents
a bushel in freight charges, which
should go to the producers. 1t near
ly equalizes the freight rate to Eu-
rope on grain produced east and
west of the Rocky mountains and
should put the price paid at Port
land, Seattle and Tacoma almost on
a parity with Chicago prices. 1t is
probably true that most OF the
charters secured to date by Pacific
coast exporters are at the old rate
around the Horn, but some of this
years crop and most Of the future
crops will probably be routed via the
Panama canal, and it is up TO the
farmers to see that the saving In
transportation is not absorbed by
some one else. While the grain
BUYERS have not recognized the cost
of production in fixing prices, they
T have recognized the cost of transpor-
tation. The producers are entitled
to this saving of eight cents pei
bushel in freight rates and should
torganize to demand it and enforce
their demand.

KNOW WHEREOF THEY SPEAK

A pitiful plea for statewide prohi-
bition is contained in a petition adj
dressed to the legislature OF Penn
sylvania and signed by 1908 of the
1873 prisoners in the Eastern Peni-
Tertiary at Philadelphia. The petit
tion reads as follows:
ITO the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, in General AS
sembly met:
Your petitioners, representing
the major portion of the inmates of
the Eastern State Penitentiary of
Pennsylvania, respectfully aver:
THAT they believe fully 70 per
cent of crime within the state is
directly attributable to the excessive
use of intoxicating liquors; and
THAT many of them have a per
sonal knowledge of its debasing in
fluence as exemplfied in their own
lives; and
THAT, believing if the sale of in
toxicating liquors was prohibited by
the enactment Of laws by your hon
orable body. the effect would 6s to
reduce crime at least 80 per cent IL
not more, they therefore
Respectfully pray that you will
favorably consider the introduction
OF any measure having for its object
the curtailment of the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors, and use the great
power with which you are clothed
to secure the passage of an act to
prohibit the sale of such intoxicating
liquor anywhere within the bounds
of the commonwealth of Pennsyl-
vania.
eve further pray that you VIII
