SHOW HOW GRAIN IS GRADED

Just how wheat and shelled corn is
graded under fedekal standards at
the large markets by licensed inspec-
tors whose work is supervised by the
Bureau of Markets, will be seen by
Farmers Week visitors at the Uni
versity of Missouri College of Agri-
culture, January 1924. This Govern
ment exhibit includes add the equip
ment used in determining grain
grades, samples of different classes
and types of wheat, corn and various
commercial samples of different
grades. At this exhibit will be dom
onstrated how a sample of wheat or
corn is taken from car, how the
sample is mixed, divided mechanically,
and the moisture, dockage, and test
weight per bushol are determined by
special equipment.
The prices paid for wheat and
shelled corn are based upon their
grading under federal standards and
farmers who visit this exhibit are
sure to find out why grain prices de-
pend upon grades. Through the u. S.
Grain Standards Act, uniform grades
for wheat and shelled corn have been
established throughout the United
States and these grains are deter
mined by the same methods wherever
the grain is graded. The grading of
all wheat or corn that moves across
State lines is supervised by Govern
ment representatives in the markets.
Federal grades are now used by all
inspection departments and are ap-
piled to all wheat purchased by the
Food Administration Grain Corpora
ton.
Although Federal supervision of
grain grades under the Grain Stand
ards Act does not cover country
points, farmers who attend Farmers
Week and learn the essential features
Of the grain standards can supervise
intelligently the assignment of grades,
made by country dealers, to their own
grade.

Highway Block Signal and the Trap
at the End of the Dangerous Stretch
Which Operates It.

which runs underground to signal
post. This wire is connected with q
ratchet which revolves the arm on
the signal post, warning any autoist
who may be coming in the opposite d.
rectlon to wait for the first car to
pass him before he ventures on the
dangerous stretch.
OF course it would be out of the
question to employ here a signal that
had to be reset. The car which set 1t
might fail to run over a resetting trig-
ger; and the car coming the other
way could not be left to reset 1t, be-
cause there is not always such car.
So advantage Is taken Of the fact that
while highly dangerous, the narrow
piece Of road is fairly short. The dam
ger indication consists merely in mo-
ton of the signal arm, not in any par
ticular position thereof; and car
which is near enough to the signal post
to enable its driver to see such mo-
ton will not reach the curve until the
signaling car has passed off it.

Y. W. c. A. Saves Wife Of General
From Becoming charwoman.
When the :Ear work Of the Y. w. G.
A. In Russia has all been told one Of
the most interesting stories will lie in
the establishment of the first Women's
Cooperative Association at Moscow.
There day after day princesses work
side by side with peasant girls, wives
Of high Russian officials make dresses
or trim hats at long tables with simple,
unlettered women, and the money is
used for self support of these prin-
cesses and notable women as we'll as
for the peasant classes.
The need and suffering throughout
all Russia was so great at the time
the Association was established that
1t was a problem to find where the
money would help the greatest num-
Der of people. 1t was thought best to
expend 1t to help capitalize organiza-
lions for giving work and permanent
opportunities to families and individu
ais to earn their own living.
The women bring their handiwork
to the Association for sale or take or.
ders to do dressmaking, millinery, ETC.,
in the rooms Of the society or at home.
Suitable work was found just In time
not long ago to keep the wife Of one OF
Russia's greatest generals from going
out as charwoman to earn bread for
her husband, who was III.

LAYING Out Residence Districts

Employment of taste in the laying
out of new residence districts need not
be expensive. 1t is, in the highest
sense, economical. 1t is possible to
get far more attractive and beautiful
homes at the prices we now pay fol-
monotony and ugllness and frequently
for unsanitary dwellings. What is
needed is to plan for these things as
carefully as the manufacturer plans
his factory or the railroad manager
his system of tracks.

EDNA GOODRICH IN

The way the French "do these

manner is eXemplihed in an extremely
clever comedy concertion, Sleeping
Partners which will serve Edna
Goodrich as a starring vehicle the
coming season and which will be the
attraction at the Orpheum on Mon
day evening.
1t is totally different from anything
seer in America. Translated from the
French of Sacha Guitry by the clever
hand of Seymour Hicks. the atmos-
phere is there, the adroitness of dia-
mate eXpertness of workmanship
which characterize the French farce
in its highest and most modern form.
The play tells a story exclusively

in the mere description of plot. 1t is a
thing which evaporates like the whifs
of perfume played over the rich furni-
ture of the bachelor room and incl
dentally the audience. French to the
core from the three raps and the gong
which announce the rise of the cur

Investigator who attempts to ascer-
tain how much Oil has been con-
veyed from Mexico during the past
few years and what the profits are
to those who have ventured to sink
fortunes in an effort to tap the
petroleum deposits that are known
to underlie certain portions of the
republic.
A statement recently furnished to
the Associated Press by the Depart
ment of Commerce and Industry
graphically portrays the growth of
this industry which now, as during
the war when its wells furnished
much of the motive power that took
troops and supplies to France and
victory. occupies such a prominent
place in the relations between Mex
leo and the United States.
From 1901 to 1918, inclusive, the
production of crude petroleum in the
republic amounted to 2S5,91O, ,79S
barrels, every year showing a con-
sistent gain over that previous. In
1901 only 10,345 barrels were pro-
duced. In 1914 production reached
26,235,40c barrels, and in 1918
63,S2S.326 barrels.
During the year of 1918 out of
63,S2S,326 barrels of petroleum pro-
duced two companies Gel Aguila and
Huasteca) produced 37,107,104, ac-
cordinS to the statements figures.
Export data indicates that Tam
pico leads all ports, in 1918 more
than 5,271,012 tons of petroleum
having left that harbor. Approx
mately half that amount left via
Tuxpan.
According to the statement, there
are 299 producing wells in Mexico.

ment intends to institute a blockade
of Fiume, in an effort to starve out
the insurgent forces, who seized the
town, under command of Gabrielle
D'AnnunZio.
Dispatches from official italian
sources. the first received here since
the departure from Fiume of the
British military mission, say that the
insurgents still retain their control
of the seaport.
A Geneva dispatch says the Brit

city were jeered and hissed by the
population as they marched to their

barked safely on their vessels with
out further incident. The French
contingent is said to have remained
at Fiume, barricaded in it's barracks.

Not Yet a Woman
Miss Mardiganian is an Armenian
girl, not yet arrived at the age of
womanhood, who was the daughter
of prosperous Armenian living in
a fertile valley not far from Mount
Ararat, at the time the Turks de-

of the Armenians by using the pre-
text that they were under Russian
protection.
Miss Mardiganian, very pretty
girl, had been eyed for some time by
a Turk who wished to marry her.
This man offered protection to her
family if her father would turn her
over to him. The father refused

How the Armenians died of thirst
