GRAIN REGULATIONS
MAY BE SIMPLIFIED
Should Be Done to Help Farmers in
Judging the Grades for Them
selves

Replying to his criticisms of the
grain grading at Washington recent
ly. Charles J. Barnd, chief of the
agricultural department., bureau of
markets, quoted figures to show that
more than three-fourths of the wheat
in that section graded No. at the
terminal markets. Mr.. Brand offered
as an explanation of the loss to the
farmers that the country elevators
were buying wheat on low grade
and sold it at the terminal on the
grade given by the federal inspect
ors.
Mr.. Brand urged the farmers to
familiariZe themselves with stand
ards fixed by the department in order
to protect themselves against low
grading at the country elevators.
The regulations regarding the
moisture content was under discus
sion most of the afternoon. Repre-
sentative Patrick D. Norton, on be-
half of the wheat growers of North
Dakota and adjoining states, urged
that it be increased to Is per cent.
Representatives Halvor STEINER
son, Sidney Anderson and A. J. Vol
stad of Minnesota and S. M. Young
and Norton of North Dakota declared
regulations must be simplified in Or
der that the farmers may be better
able to judge the grades for them
selves, as they were under the old
the demands of the wheat growers
will be complied with to some ex-
tent, particularly on the moisture
content. Complaints of this part of
the regulations were general
throughout the country.-Minne-

SCHOOL NOTES

The Sylverter party and service
held in the school building on the
evening of Dec. 81 to watch the old
year out and the new year in certain
ly was a complete success. A large
number of young and older Albert
ans were most pleasantly and help
fully entertained from about p. M,
1917 until 1 a. M, 1918. The en-
tertainment consisted of a long and
excellent formal program and a So
cial program of games and lunch.
Among the many interesting parts
of these programs were piano duets
by Hazel and Irene Eystad, Irene
Hamilton and June Ethelson. Little
Viola Gulbranson and Lenore Eystad
also contributed by rendering some
excellent musical selections. Read
ings were delivered by Mrs. L. P.
Norby, Miss Carrie Schlattman and
Mrs. Grafelman. Mr.. L. J. Schlatt-
man lead the meeting in prayer and
gave an excellent talk to the young
people of Alberta. Another amusing
feature of the evening was the mo-
ton pictures. Everyone realized
that the old year had been we'll end
ed and the new one begun under the
most favorable auspices. This is the
first affair of it's kind held in the
Alberta school, but it likely will not
be the last one.
Professor Grafelman reports his
feeling of gratitude and deep appre-
citation for the splendid Christmas
presents he has received from some
of his approaching patrons. 1t means
an inspiration for more and better
work than eevr. 1t shows that many
people of the Alberta district appre-
ciate what has been done for them.
Many valuable inquiries about this
school and it's several activities have
been made within the last year, but
perhaps the one most striking was

Must Raise More HOES

The United States Department of
Agriculture is organizing a nation
al campaign for 100000 more hogs,
or a Is per cent increase in hog pro-
duction next year. The officials in
charge say the campaign will sue
coed If every state will do its share.
From Missouri, which is asked for
SO per cent more hogs, to West vir-
ginia, to which is allotted only a 5
per cent increase, the state quotas
have bene carefully and logically
worked out according to the corn and
other feed supplies Of the states. II
the states do not reach the quotas
set for them. a more acute shortage
Of pork products than now prevails
will result, extremely high prices for
hams, bacon and lard will prevail.
consumers will suffer from the high
prices and the shortage Of necessary
animal fats, and only few will ben
eft.

the request from Prof. Newell l..
Sims, College of Sociology and Politi-
cal Science, University of Florida,
Gainesville, Fla. The essay asked
for is intended to become a part of
college text book on rural sociology
which Prof. Sims is producing.
Among the other 1nquirers up-to-date
are the University of Minnesota, the
University of Iowa, the Iowa State
Teachers College, Cedar Falls, Iowa,
State Normal Schools of different
states, etc. 1t only means that AL
berta must speed up considerably to
live up to the high standard expected
of it.
A very honorable mention of the
school was made in the annual State
School Inspectors Report, State De-
partment of Education. The Alberta
teachers manse was there described
as an epoch making institution, 4"
which will prove powerful agency
in making life comfortable for the
country teacher and in that way Sc
cure and hold the very best of teach
ers for rural consolidated schools.
Other teachers manses have since
been constructed at Petersburg and
at Nicollet, MINI. The manse at AL
berta is now known to be the first
completely modern teachers home in
America. The high war prices for
every means of living have increased
the average cost of living per month
per teacher from $19.57 to SIS per
month. The Alberta teachers are
still getting about $35 worth of
home comforts at saving of $40 per
month.
School sessions will begin again on
Monday, Jan. Z. 1t is hoped that
both teachers and students have en-
joyed a pleasant and wholesome va
cation.
Soon after the holidays the AL
berta grade pupils will get busy with
their spelling contests, preparatory
to selecting the Alberta team of
three best spoilers, to represent this
school at the big spelling and de-
clamatory contest to be held at Nor
ris, March Is. All the graded and
high schools of the county and some
outside of the county are contest
ants in this roundup. There is also
a movement on foot now to have a
big glee club contest at the same
time. Further details will be ex-
planned by Supt. Utne of the Morris
schools, who is placed at the head of
this work for this part of the state.

Oldest European Royalty.

Though the late Emperor Francis
Joseph was the oldest reigning sover-
eign in Europe, he was not the oldest
royalty, says London Tit-Bits. The
Empress Eugene is four years older,
while the Dowager Grand Duchess
of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the grand.
mother of the grand duke, is eight
years older. Thus the last surviving
grandchild of George III was the old
est royalty in Europe. The elder sis
ter of the late Duke of Cambridge, and
consequently the aunt of Queen Mary
Of England, it was June %, 1913, that
her marriage took place at Bucking-
ham palace. She received an annuity
of $4,000 a year from the British ex-
chequer.- which. Eoing mid since fcrr

GRAIN.

Chicago, Aug. 29.-The slump in
corn prices continued at the opening
of the market today. Commission
houses were free sellers and numer-
Gus stop-loss orders were uncovered.
Fluctuations were rapid. September
at once time was l2c under the top
price of last week. Many shorts
took handsome profits without ma
terially checking the decline. Octo-
Der opened ,$c to 34c under yester-
day at Sl.577s to Sl.57H and sold
off nearly to $l.56B.
Profit taking caused an upward
reaction of about cent, but when
this was out of the way prices sank
to new low level for the day. The
close was l13@2c down, with Octo-
Der at $l.56N.
Oats shared the corn weakness
and October opened sc higher to
sc lower at 721zc to 72Ac, and
then declined to 7lc. Traders said
that at present prices farmers would
feed oats instead of corn.
Provisions were inactive and nom
inally steady.
The market developed firmness
with hogs and closed l2HM2Oc
higher.

COTTON.

New Orleans, Aug. 2S.-A reac-
tionary tendency was displayed by
cotton on the opening today and a
considerable amount of selling de-
veloped in the first half hour of
trading, during which prices fell 80
to 33 points.
Selling was increased by expecta-
tions of favorable weekly crop re-
ports and weather accounts, but the
returns from the belt were highly
disappointing so that from de-
cline of 40 to 40 points, the market
bulged sharply l20 points en- Oc-
tober, carrying the trading months
80 to 80 points over last nights quo
tations. New high records were
made on all mounths in the con-
tract market.
Favorable war news increased the
demand and in the trading up to !
o'clock, the net advance was widen
ed to lO3 to ll6 points.
