AMERICAN SAILORS LIKE TRAMPS
THROUGH |RELAND'S countryside

Base American Flotilla In British
Waters. Oct. 25.---tCorrespondence
OF the Associated Press. l---TraIpps
through the beautiful Irish country
side are the favorite autumn past
time OF American sailors ON after
noon shore leave. !
The Americans never saw so many
pigs In their lives as they have since
they began to wander around Ire
land. Up one OF the fayorite coun-
try roads they have become fast
friends with an Irish farmer who
has a remarkable squad of trained
pigs Whenever the sailors visit his
farmyard the owner delights In
running his pigs through a number
OF evolutions just to make thf sail
ors laugh. The farmer Is very proud
OF the youthful Americans. To one
party which called the other day he
presented tiny porker which they
took squealing back to their ship
and adopted as their mascot. One
trip at sea, however, made piggy so
seasick that he turned over to the
chef and made the centerpiece at a
roast pig dinner. the like of which
the boys have not had since leaving
the shore OF the United States.
bicycling has gained tremendous
vogue with the American bluejack-
cts. Scores OF them. mounted on ma
chimes OF all possible types and vini
ages, may be passed daily on the
roads leading out from the naval
base. The BICYCLES are rented from
local dealers at about $2,50 to SO o
week. Many of the sailors have ped
aled all the way to Blarney Castle.
while others have ventured as far as
the Lakes OF Killarney. They ride
through the streets here at what the
natives characterize at reckless
speed"
Several OF the bluejackets are for
mer professional or semi-profession-
al cycalists who have competed in
long distance contests In many parts

"Sell your good dark northern

it, by sample and not under grade"
This is the advice, which amounts
almost to a warning, of j. A. Meow
ern, chief deputy inspector of the
North Dakota grain grading depart
ment, to farmers of the state.
Under the federal grade, which is
now the n established grade for
all the northwest, the finest dark
northern spring wheat, if it contains
only 2 per cent Of kinghead, must
be graded No. a northern.
at takes a very small amount of
kinghead to constitute 2 per cent"
said Mr.. McGovem yesterday. eve
have had samples of splendid dark
northern wheat, which would un-
q~uestionably take a No. l grade,
which has had to be classed as No.
a because it contained a small amount
of kinghead.
There is just one thing for the
farmers to do under the circumstances
and that is sell by sample. Don't let
that wheat be graded. Take a sample
of it and sell it that way. The millers
will be glad to take it at a higher
price than they pay for No. a north
ern. I am sure of that.
"The millers have a method of
cleaning kinghead from wheat. 1t is
a slow process, but not very expen-
sive, and they are glad to get this
fine hard spring wheat from North
Dakota and pay we'll for it, even if
it has a little kinghead in it."
Practically all the elevator men of
the state have now been licensed
under the new North Dakota grain
grading act. There was a rush to get
in on the part of the companies which
had withheld the applications of their
North Dakota agents, following the
decision of the supreme court, this
week holding the main features of
the grain grading act constitutional
The companies in question were all
: chartered outside the state and held
off, pending the decision of the SUI
preme court, evidently hoping that
the act would be held unconstitution-
al, which would have allowed them to
continue to withhold their books from
state inspection.
