Which reminds us Of a story we
heard the other day on Jake Heck
aman, the clipper and razor wiz
ard. II was the first time that Tom
Marshall, the vice president. had
visited Jake's shop, so the story
goes Mr.. Marshall was in the COM
pany of "A local gentleman, and was
the first TO get into Jake's chair.
The local man followed and while
Jake was scraping his face and
making life less than worthwhile, the
former asked him:
Jake do you know who that was

NO, 1 can't say that 1 do"
Why that was Thomas r. Mar

Tom lots of times, but / declare this

Jake used TO have a barber with
him that had done quite a little
travelling about the country, and fin
ally decided TO settle down and cast
his fortunes with South Bends dean
OF the clipper artists. The gent cut
hair and shaved a lot of folks for a
good many years. and finally decided
TO give up the barber business and
embark in something legitimate
again. He was saying farewell TO
his colleague in the next chair in
the following manner:
Harry. i wish you the best of
luck, but you will never be able TO
make the money barbering that
can. / have travelled all the coun-
try, you see, and can talk on so
many more different subjects than

United Experts to Grade Grain at
MinOt Convention

Washington, d. c., Feb. Is. Wheat
and shelled corn grading under Fed
eral standards will be explained and
demonstrated at the Farmers" Grain
Dealers Association Of North Dakota
meeting at Minot March A, S and 6.
Visitors will see shelled corn and
wheat graded under the same condi.
tions as at large markets where the
work is done by licensed inspectors
supervised by the Bureau of Markets
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture. Theexhibit at Minot will
include all the equipment used in de-
termining grain grades, samples OF
different classes and types of wheat
and corn, and various commercial SAM
pies of different grades.
To Explain Grain Grades
The men with this government ex-
hibit will demonstrate how sample
Of wheat or corn is taken from car
by means of the probe or ''trier'', so
as to represent an average sample of
the whole car, and they will show how
the sample is mixed, divided mechan-
ically, and the moisture, dockage, and
test weight per bushel are determined
by special equipment
The prices paid for wheat and shell
led corn are based upon their grading
under Federal standards and farmers
who visit this exhibit will learn why
grain prices depend upon grades Thru
the United States Grain Standards
Act uniform grades for wheat and
shelled corn have been established
throughout the United States and
these grades are determined by the
same methods, whether the grain is
graded at small market in the inter
ior or at terminal elevator on the
Atlantic coast.
Premium Grade for Premium Grain
The grading of all wheat or corn
that moves across state lines is super
vised by government representatives
in the markets, and it is said that the
application Of the standards to coun-
try point transactions, as well as those
in the large markets, has already re-
suited in more economical handling of
these crops and should give the farm
or a premium grade for premium
grain. Federal grades are now used
by all in Dectitn departments an . ;,r2
applied to all wheat purchased Nv the
Food \ ADMINISTRATION Gram C,rpOra-
ton.
Although Federal Supervision OF
grain grades under the Grain Stand
ards Act does not cover country points
farmers who attend the Minot exhibit
and learn the essential features of the
grain standards, can supervise intel
ligently the assignment Of grades by
country dealers to their own grain.

plentv Of Excitlnn Action.

Plenty Of Exciting Action.
There is fOreword to 1.-THE Wom-
an Under Oath" at the Nelson, which
gives the impression that its main
motive is the question whether or not
women should serve on juries. THIS
is, merely SIDE issue. The story OF
this United Picture Theatres release
starring Florence Reed, is built
around woman who takes the pun
ishment Of her sisters seducer into
her own hands, and there is abundant
revelation of the seamy side OF life.
Before the finish of the picture one
young girl has been assaulted with
great brutality and another maiden
has been seduced in record breaking
time by the same accomplished de-
stroyer of female virtue.
The long arm Of coincidence is also
badly stretched during the telling OF
the tale, but there Is no denying the
dramatic strength Of the plot and the
emotional power Of the part PLAYED
by Florence Reed. Sturdy, middle
class intellects with correspondlngly
healthy nerves and liking for the re-
ports OF a sensational murder trial
will find 1.-THE Woman Under Oath"
to their taste. Drawing the story out
into six reels, when it should have
been condensed into five is the only
serious fault in its construction. Aside
from this it is we'll made, well direct
ed and well acted and should rank
among Florence Reeds most success
tub pictures.
