LANCER THINKS
NORTH DAK0TA'S
CASE HAS WON
Predicts Changes in Grain Grad
ing Standards Asked by
State Will Be Made
POPULAR NOMENCLATURE
FOR WHEAT IS RETAINED
Attorney General Does Not Be-
lieve mo. / Northern Hard
Will Be Dropped

Victory for North Dakota in its con-
test for more equitable grain grading
was predicted by Attorney General
w. S. LANCER on his return yesterday
from the national capital, where he
and Commissioner of Agriculture and
Labor John N. Hagan presented North
Dakota's claims to the federal COM
mission.
OF the two days allotted to the
hearing, the North Dakota delega
ton was given a day and a hall
This time was devoted by the attor'
ney general, commissioner of agricul'
ture and labor, Senators 'McCumber
and Gronna and Representatives Hell
geson, Young and Norton, to the pre-
sentation of facts and arguments pro-
viding that the proposed grain stand
ards would radically discriminate
against North Dakota. AS result OF
this exposition Of North Dakota's
case, Attorney General LANCER stated
today he anticipates the federal com.
mission will recede at least one point
from it's standard weight Of 50
pounds, and establish So as the legal
bushel; that it will retain the present
nomenclature, No. Northern, instead
OF substituting Dark Red Spring
Wheat as proposed, and that the
maximum moisture content will be
increased from IA. as originally In
tended, to Is per cent. II this is
done, North Dakota will have gained
practically everything it has asked
for. Another ruling argued against
and which probably will be changed
was that No. grade should contair
not more than IA OF per cent Of
"inseparable material" white rose,
etc.
Two hundred millers, exporters and
brokers from all sections Of the e2Nt
attended the Washington hearing
The fact, in view of the large num-
Der present, that North Dakota was
allowed to monopolize so much Of the
commissions time, is regarded a ia
vorable augury.
II believe the final decision, which
I expect to be announced by wire any
time now, will be not to change the
nomenclature, which would abolish z
description which has practically be
come a North Dakota trademark,
said Mr.. LANCER, land that in view o.
the fact that North Dakota does no.
stack it's wheat, the moisture content
limit will be increased to Is per cent
The standards established by the com
mission will become effective 80 days
following their PRONUNCIATION"

MAKING JOB PLEASANT
Sentinels in Face of Cold Weather
Are Silently Sticking to
Their Job
(United Press.)


Washington, Jan. 11.-Coffee and
doughnuts were arranged today as the
refreshments for the silent forces OF
the Congressional Suffragists', union
which are silently sticking to their
frigid job Of picketing the White
House. At the east and west gates
women stand today with seven-foot
banners Topping in the January gale
to tell the president that they want
his support on suffrage.
If the suffragists expected the mere
excitement Of police interference with
their work, they are due for disap
pointment. Chief of Capital Police
Pullman today said that he would not
interfere with the women's work, SO
long as they did not go any further
than their parade around the grounds
yesterday. Policemen instead of re-
tarding the women's activities, insist
ed upon Offering to them all sorts OF
suggestions upon the ways of making
the capitals pavement easier for their
feet.
Picketing the home of the president
is far more exciting than the ordinary
picketing. 1t is full of thrills. We
wanted to concert public opinion" tc
use the terms Of the president. We
sgpt mighty cold while doing the con
Gerting yesterday. but the only vot
ers not visibly impressed by our activ
tiles are the president and Secretary
Tumulty. They are hard to impress
It is really humorous to hear the pres
ident say that he can advance no fur
ther than his party.
