Remain Grain Standard

Bismarck, March 15.-Victory for
North Dakota in it's contest for more
equitable grain grading was predict
ed by Attorney General w. S. LANCER
on his return yesterday from the ma
tional capital, where he and Commits.
sioner of Agriculture and Labor John
N. Hagen presented North Dakota
claims to the federal commission.
Of the two days allotted to the hear.
ing, the North Dakota delegation was
given a day and a half. This time
was devoted by the attorney general,
commissioner of agriculture and la
Dor, Senators McCumber and Gronna
and Representatives Helgeson, Young
and Norton, to the presentation OF
facts and arguments providing that
the proposed grain standards would
radically discriminate against North
Dakota. AS a result of this exposi-
ton of North Dakota's case, Attorney
General LANCER stated today he antici-
pates the federal commission will re-
cede at least one point from it's
standard weight of SO pounds, and
established So at the legal bushel;
that it will retain the present nomen-
clature, No. l Northern, instead OF
substituting Dark Red Spring
Wheat as proposed, and that the
maximum moisture content will be in
creased from ID, as originally intend
ed, to IS per cent. If this is done,
North Dakota will have gained practi-
cally everything it has asked for.
Another ruling argued against, and
which probably will be changed, was
that No. grade should contain not
more than Il of l per cent of "insep-
arabic material" white rose, etc.
Two hundred millers, exporters and
brokers from all sections of the east
attended the Washington hearing.
The fact, in view of the large number
present, that North Dakota was allow.
ed to monopolize so much of the COM
MISSIONS time, is regarded favor
able 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
description which has practically be-
come a North Dakota trademark"
said Mr.. LANCER, land that in view of
the fact that North Dakota does not
stack its 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"

They Require Men of AL
most Every Profession
and-Recruiting Ac-

AS modern battleship Is a little
city in itself the man who enlists in
the navy does not have to be sea-
man, but he can follow his own trade
or profession.
Nearly every trade and profession
is needed in the navy. In the call sent
out by Secretary Daniels Of the navy
department he says, The Navy Needs
Men," This means that the navy needs
electricians, plumbers, steamfitters,
blacksmiths. boilermakers, carpenters,
telegraph operators and almost every
kind of skilled labor.
Skilled laborers can be put to work
in their own business in the navy. If
they are steam filters they can get en-
ployment as such in the navy, If they
are blacksmiths or carpenters they can
get to work blacksmithing and carpen-
tering when they enlist.
The navy needs pharmacists and
stenographers and bank clerks and
bookkeepers and accountants. Phar-
macists are needed in the navy yards
and depots and aboard ship where men
skilled in prescription work are re-
quired. Bank clerks and stenographers
and bookkeepers and accountants are
required ashore and aboard ship in
handling the vast amount Of work that
is required in a paper" line.
The navy needs printers. Nearly
every ship in the navy has it's own
printshop and publishes it's own news
paper. Every feet has a newspaper
