MEET BARNES, UNCLE SANS GRAIN
BOSS! HE'S BIG ENOUGH FOR JOB

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug, ~
julius H. Barnes Of Duluth, selected
by President Wilson to head the $50,
100000 grain corporation organized
under the food administration, looks
big enough for the job.
He is tall, broad.shouldered, athlet-
ic, and after watching him in action
a few minutes, listening to his or
ders, seeing the dispatch with which
he handles hib problems as we'll as
little and his keen understanding, one
gains the impression that he is fitted
mentally ,temperamentally and by
training, no less than physically.
Barnes has grown up in the grain
trade. He developed his own concern
-Barnes.Ames Co., of Duluth, Winni-
neg and New York-until it was the
largest wheat exporting firm in the
world.
Following the declaration OF war,
however, his firm withdrew from bus
mess for the period Of the war and
Barnes volunteered his services TO the
government. He was placed in an
advisory position with Hoover in the
food administration, pending passage
Of the food control bill, and is now
at the head of the corporation upon
which the real work of stabillzing
prices and distribution Of wheat and
-four will rest.
Next to business, Barnes chief In
terest is in good sports. In 1895 he
was No. stroke in the Duluth four.
Dared crew which won the cup at the
regatta Of the Winnipeg Rowing AS
ISOLATION. One mark Of his interest
in this sport is his gift of q fine boat
club house to Duluth, Last year he
promised the club, then having 1900
members, that If 1t came through the
regatta to be held that fall without
a deficit he would give the club ma
tatorium. The club made good and

to be eliminated. A large number of
grain men were to be put out of bus
mess and the dealings of others great
ly narrowed.
Nevertheless, the plan was unani
mously endorsed, although many deal
ers would suffer.
Before any man may become a
part Of the food administration, he
must divest himself of any interest
in the grain or food business and must
serve without pay. Barnes, in pick
ing his assistants, the men who will
have charge Of buying grain at ter
minals, for instance, simply decided
on the men he would like to have, tap
ped them on the shoulder and asked
them to volunteer.
Without exception these men gave

Decorating a Savage.

Florence Particle Stuart, in one of
her delightful tales of the Moro charm
boy, Piang, tells of an embarrassing
situation. Piang had saved the COVER
nors life at the risk of his own.
"Piang, am about to decorate you
with the emblem of our government !;
these infantry cross-guns l shall pin
on your breast'-the dignified governor
reached forward to make good his
words, but paused in embarrassment,
the speech dying on his lips. He gazed
in dismay at the scantily clothed little
savage, standing straight and expect
ant before him.
az shall place this emblem, again
began the worthy official. There was
litter among the spectators.
"Piang, eagerly cycling the treasure,
wondered why the governor delayed.
Suddenly a CLEAN of understanding
broke over Piang and he grinned
broadly. With the tip of his finger
he touched the shining cross-guns,
then his necklace of crocodile teeth.
The situation was saved."-St. Mich

Feathers Coming Back.

Speaking of phantasies recalls to
mind the fact that old Mister Ostrich
is destined to be losing his tail feath-

has been permitted to glory in his
plumage, but now it's all off. Feath-
ers are coming back, strong and in
numbers. The new cavalier shape,
which is soft and pliable, with brim
hosting itself up gayly on one side and
dropping on the other, is not cava-
lier hat at all, unless long curled os-
trich plume encircles the crown and
slides down at the back, caresslng the
wearer's hair.

LITTLE HINTS OF CHICKENS
Save Labor and Produce More Poultry
and Eggs-CuII Out All Market
able Cockerels.

Do not worry about prices, but wor-
ry about methods and management
and how to save labor and produce
more poultry and eggs.
Study the best market and style Of
disposing Of your product.
Gull out the young market cockerel
now which will only grow into lively,
active rooster-a fighting machine, not
a profit machine.
His comb, his spurs, his crow and
high opinion of himself are without
value when he is sold on the market as
a cockerel. Caponize him and he gains
weight twice as quickly at a less food
cost.
Keep an eye on all such steps of
management as will tend to increase
the income without any increase in
cost.

PREVENT HENS EATING EGGS
Habit May Be Discouraged by Placing
China Eggs on Floor and Letting
Fowls Pick Them.

If you keep a few china eggs on the
floor about the laying hens or in the
yard, the hens will pick at these, and
it will discourage them from attempt
Ing to eat the eggs in the nest. 1t is
also advisable to place your nests away
from the light, as the hens are not apt
to eat the eggs if the nest is rather
dark. Keep your nests up off the floor
Supply oyster shell and some meat
food. If the hen persists in this bad
habit, trim the point of her beak until
it bleeds. Keep the hens busy. Avoid
broken eggs, as this is usually the be-
ginning of this trouble.
