All That Is Necessary Is to Sub
NIT Sample Of Required VOL
ume in Prescribed Form.
WHEAT and CORN STANDARDS
Principal Benefit to Farmer Is That
He Gets Correct Grading by Disin.
terested Inspector as Basis
for Prices.

The farmer, the country buyer tht
miller, or anyone else may have sam
pies of wheat or shelled corn inspected
and graded by grain inspectors Ii
censed by the secretary of agriculture
All that Is necessary is to send a sam
pie Of the required volume in the pre-
scribed form and to pay the inspection
fee.
No such service was ever rendered
until within the last few months. Sc
far official standards have been estab.
lished for wheat and shelled corn only
Proposed grades have been published
for oats, and 1t Is probable that Off
cial standards will be established for
the 1919 Oat crop.
Grading by inspectors.
Grading is done only by grain in.
spectors licensed by the secretary of
agriculture. The officers of federal
grain supervision, bureau of markets,
dc not inspect and grade wheat OF
shelled corn except when an appeal
has been entertained on a grade as.
signed by licensed inspector, or
where a dispute as to uninspected
grain has been referred to the secre.
tary Of agriculture.
The offices of the federal grain su.
pervision, however, may furnish the
names of the nearest inspectors with
advice as to taking and forwarding
samples, to persons who desire to have
samples inspected. There is no pre-.
scribed fee for grazing samples, but
the secretary has specified that fees
shall be reasonable. This information
can be obtained from the nearest fed
eral grain inspector. The list of offices
Is given in the accompanying box.
When grade is assigned on samples
submitted the inspection certificate
covers only the sample, it being spe.
citically set out that such grading does
not apply to the entire lot from which
the sample was taken. Unless the in.
spector himself or an official sampler
takes the sample from the lot of grain,
he is not permitted to certify further
than as to the sample submitted. In
most cases of contemplated purchase.
however 1t probably happens that the
interested parties agree that the sam.
pie Is representative and that the grade
given shall apply to the entire lot of
wheat or shelled corn.
Size Of Samples.
The size Of the sample submitted
and the manner of forwarding 1t are
Important factors in enabling the in.
spectOrs to determine the correct
grade. The sample should be represen.
tative of the entire lot of grain. It
should be at least two quarts in vol.
ume, one and an eighth plnts of which
should be placed in an alright con.
tainer and the balance enclosed in a
clean cloth sack. Samples sent in pa.
per bags, cigar boxes or other make
shift containers cannot be properly
graded.
The principal benefit to the farmer

Plan Wage Increase.
Fifty-hve men, all superintendent
or principals of schools in Nebraska,
promptly subscribed S. each to a
fund to get accurate statistics on the
cost of living for teachers in Ne
braska. $50 \.
The subscriptions were made after
j. A. iDoremus, superintendent of
schools of Aurora, Neb., had pre-
sented statistical report and J. N.
Stoddard of Beatrice had declared
That teachers are actually suffering
because the lack of statistics on the
cost of living prevents MANY Of them
from getting increases in salaries
from school boards.
when the teachers state to direc-
tors of schools that they must have
more salary, they are asked how
much it costs them to live. They
can give no accurate reply" said
Professor Stoddard. Statistics
should also be secured to show
whether boards are able to afford to
give their respective teachers higher
salaries"
Into Nine Sections.
Today and Friday the con-
vention will break up into nine sec
tons, which will hold meetings
simultaneously in churches and
school buildings. ..
The meetings. tonight and tomor-
row morning will be held
in the municipal Auditorium.

a grand concert in the Auditorium
Friday evening, when Nine. Helen

witnesses who, it is said, will testify
to having seen Johnson in the vicin-
ity where Miss Kroupa was as
saulted the day the crime was COM
mitted. According to members of
County Attorney Shotwell's force,
even stronger testimony against the
prisoner than that subittmed yester-

Convention Sidelights---Teachers Must

we have evening classes in trade and
industrial work.
Iowa has great state teachers
association and their organization
is very strong. They have total
membership of nearly $4,000, and all
work very closely together for bet
ter things. Our Nebraska member
ship is about 5000. In Iowa they
have one general and several district
meetings. The meetings are held in
Des Moines. A strong feature of
their organization is the employ
ment of a salaried secretary who
works constantly for the interest of
the association. That body issues
its own teachers paper"

ton work and the readjustments
made necessary because Of postwar
conditions"
Miss Pyrtle is principal Of Nc
Kinley pre-vocational school at
Lincoln and was active in Y. w.
c. A. work during the war, having
served as a general secretary at
Des Moines, in charge of Y. w. c.
A. hospital and camp work. In
her opinion the association ought to
be divided into districts, two, or
four, in the state, so that the an
nual meetings can be made of
wider benefit to, the great body of
teachers.
1--WE have 1880 teachers in Ne
braska," she declared. "and outside
of Omaha and Lincoln, only Is per
cent Of the total number can attend
these splendid meetings. We could
bring big speakers ,into the state,
and hold all district meetings within
period of 10 days and thereby be
enabled to pass around the strong
attractions. The principals and
teachers could have one general
meeting; they are a smaller body
and could more easily assemble in
one place"

There is considerable discussion
of the subject of. dividing the large
state body into sections or districts.
Miss Bertha Enyart, superintendent
of schools at Fort Calhoun, says
this question would have come up
last year had the state meeting not
been called off on account of the
influenza epidemic. She says the
matter will be brought to vote on
Friday, and in her opinion there is
some indication that division will
take place, two conventions to be
held in the future instead of one.
Would Kill Basket Ball.
Another live topic before the
meeting relates to basket ball. There
are prominent school men who be-
lieve the annual high school basket
ball tournament should be abol-
ished, and equally prominent and
determined leaders who think its
ultimate effect is a good one. At
II this morning, following a
sectional meeting on physical edit
cation, this question will be threshed
out and the arguments promise to
be interesting.
Interested in Folks.
Herbert Brownell, professor at
the University of Nebraska, was one
of the prominent educators seen
Wednesday afternoon. When asked
what interested him most he said:
Just folks. have been in Nebras-

Peru, says there is decided move
lnent under way for the purpose OF
inducing more people to take UP the

Smith Towner Bill.
Congressman Fess, speaking yes
terday morning before the teachers,
discussed the Smith Towner bill.
THE BILL" said Congressman
Fess, provides for a department
of education in the cabinet and an
appropriation of $100,0O0,000 year.
Of this; sum $50,000,000 is to be
used for increasing the pay of
teachers and the other $50,000,0 900
for training of teachers, American
ization of foreigners and reduction
of adult illiteracy.
Is Fiercely Opposed.
ut will be fercely opposed be-
cause Of the $50,000,000 appropria-
ton for increasing teachers pay. If
the government is to substitute
teachers, it will be argued, it should
subsidize all other salaried people,
for all salaried people are suffer
ing from the present high cost of
living.
ut may be that this provision will
be removed. from the bill, in which
event I think the bill will pass with
the appropriation for teacher train
ing, AUGMENTATION of foreigners
and reduction of adult illiteracy.
Says Law is Success.
"The retraining of disabled SOL
diers, provided for in the law of
1918 is also a success. For this
SCI 100000 has been appropriated.
An additional $35,0OO,O0O will be re-
CURED to complete the work.
THE house and senate have
passed another re-educational bill
which extends this federal aid to
men and women injured and crippled
in industry. This is an extension
of the Smith Hughes bill and will
be carried out in cooperation with
the states"
Leon 0. Smith, assistant superin-
tendent of the Omaha schools, ex-
planned the modern methods used
in measuring efficiency in the
schools. He told how the children
