that the federal grading OF Wheat I'M

eS1SA I1h M AlAoA
istrator Herbert c. Hoover, h North
Dakota board Of railway commission
ers yesterday informed him that 1t
would be highly desirable to suspend
the present federal inspection rules
governing the grading of wheat.
The inquiry from Mr.. Hoover was
contained in the following message:
would 1t be advisable in your judg-
ment, and in view Of the present con-
ditions to suspend federal inspection
rules as to wheat grades? Would
greatly appreciate immediate reply by
wire.
Herbert c. Hoover"
The board Of railroad commission
ers att4once sen the following tele-
graphic reply addressed to h food
administrator:
eve believe it would be wise to
suspend the operations of the federal
inspection rules for grading wheat
during this crop year. pending an in
vestigation with a view to modification
of the rules. The federal wheat grades
are unfair to the producer and abso-
lutely impractical as to the transac-
tons at primary markets.
Neither the producer nor the u
try grain buyer can accurately deter
mine whether wheat Of the very best
milling quality will be graded No. 1
dark Northern spring or Nc 4, when
it reaches the terminal market. Under
such conditions the tendency is for the
grain buyer to play safe and grade the
wheat down, with the producer unable
to protect himself. All parties con-
cerned are familiar with the old stan
be able to readily verify the judgment
Of the grain buyers.

step will mean anything but war,
inasmuch as Norway has suffered
immensely from German lntrl-
CUES and recklessness. In Den
mark the food situation is be-
coming alarming, and the fuel
question troubles the entire po-
pulation. The latest Copenha-
gen newspapers say that the use
of gas for cooking purposes has
been restricted to a few hours
every day, and at that, it is fur
nished only at a very low rate of
pressure. Kerosene cannot be
sold in the stores now. The
Danes feel the pinch of war al
most as keenly as though they
were actually involved in hostili-
ties with a foreign enemy.

cussion of farming with some
sociability thrown in is a good
one, especially when the mem
bers live from five to eight miles
from town. 1t is not so con-
venient for people at that dis
tance to always attend meetings
in town and it is therefor a good
thing for them to have neighbor-
ly meetings occasionally. But in
spite of being some distance
apart, and not meeting in a So
cial way so often as when the
colony was commenced, let us
never forget to remain united on
the bigger issues and keep the

OUR CAMPING TRIP

The Boy Scout Camp at Low
Landing last week was success
again this year. A fine time was
enjoyed by all the boys, about
twenty in number. Here is what
one of the scouts writes:
I'VE started out Thursday NOR
ming and came down to Low
Landing about ten o'clock. We
unloaded all our things and then
started to make our dinner.
After dinner we set up the tents
and then went in for a swim.
The water was fine the first
three days but a little too cold
Sunday. After swimming we
held a meeting, gathered wood
for the campfire and then pre-
pared our supper. We played
ball after supper until dark.
Then we set fire to the wood we
had gathered and all sat around
the campfire and listened to the
stories Ewing told and read to us
We could not have been without
Ewing. AS we were all tired out
now we went to bed. Next NOR.
ming we had pancakes but some
of them were rather dry as Ru.
dolph Pedersen had one stuck in
his throat. We were all very
thankful to Mr.. Gregersen fol
sending us milk and rubarbs.

FARMERS CLUB MEETING

About 200 people took in the
sociable given by the North Star
Club Friday evening at A. P.
Jensen's place in Kettle River
township. After the business
meeting a program was carried
out in which many took part.
Then came the sale of baskets
and there we're many-well filled
with good eatables. AS auc-
tioneer Kenney of Willow River
said, nearly everything has gone
up in price, especially food stuffs
so the baskets should also sell at
advanced prices" And they did.
The net proceeds amounted to
$59.05, which goes to the build
ing fund for their proposed new
hall, In this connection it might
be we'll to make a few remarks,
not that we want to dictate or
tell others how things should be
done, we simply wish to offer a
suggestion.
1t appears that the farmers in
this newly organized club lay big
stress on having a hall built and
it might look to an outsider like
this is their goal. While hall
would be a good thing for we'll
organized and firmly established
farmers club. would it not be
better to look to the educational
part first? Get every member
vitally interested in the club,
have them take part in the dis
cussions, and make it a club
where every member can, will
and must learn something about
the farm. This is the most i'm
portant about farmers club.
First the educational, then the
social. If it is to be a social club
it should not be called a farmers
club, give it social name.
