THIS DOG KNOWS MONEY.
Geo. Bakers LewelIyn Setter Knows
Money Denominations Like
Bank Cashier.

During the past year while George
Baker wasn't busy selling lumber, he
spent little spare time teaching
young puppy a few tricks, and the
way the dog performs them, savors
of almost human intelligence. The
animal is a Lewellyn setter, IA
months old. George procured him
from DR.. II. H. Thomas when he was
about a month old, and when he was
four months old started teaching him
tricks, and in all he has learned
about twenty. One of the stunts the
dog does, and rarely makes a mis-
take is il money matters. You can't
slip any plugged nickels to him eth
err. George lays a quarter, half dol
lar and dollar on the floor in row
and tells the dog to go get the dollar.
The pup goes up to the money like a
bank cashier AID picks up whatever
he is called on to, the dollar or the
quarter or the half, and he never
makes a mistake An old coat or pair
of trousers is placed in back room
of the office, the dog taken outside
and then told to go aid get one or
the other of the articles. If the trous-
ers are called for he always brings
them. Besides these stunts he is not
so slow with his 'mits", as he can
box to perfection, with George as
his opponent, and he is right there
with the Jess Willard stuff too. He
has been taught to be religious also,
and knows how to pray like a chris
tan.

Food Administration Has
Monopoly i'll Grain Exports
Continued from page ten

The grain markets have been treated
with less compassion by the cxigences
of war and kindly disposed friends
at Washington. Even at the present
moment there is no future market in
wheat and the export trade in grains
has been almost during the entire time
of our participation in the war and
still Is monopolized by the Federal
ood administration.
1t may still be said that there are
10 private grain exporters in this
country But the grain men hope for
better times. Julius Barnes, president
of the Food Corporation. which buys
gram for the food admin stration. is
expected to return from Europe early
IN January. and the grain brokers ex-
pect TO have an opportunity to urge
him to relax some of the restrictions
which still make their occupations
rather fimsv and unremunerative
In the early months of American
participation in the war the grain men,
IN consultation with Herbert Hoover,
worked out the wartime restrictions
which resulted in the taking over of
the export business in wheat. rye and
corn by the GOOD administration, and
the forbidding Of trading in futures
in wheat During the war-and as yet
the only buyers Of spot wheat have
been the food administration and the
millers
Dealing in futures for domestic use
n rye and corn has gone on, however
and since November II the rye market
has gone up and down with great un-
certainty; whereas, the corn market
has risen rather consistently, as a re-
suit of the shortage of the present
crop which has been estimated as high
as half billion bushels
