Every important grain state has

grain each year because Of inefficient

bringing this enormous loss TO the nt-

and showing them how to avoid IT,,
snved 22,000.000 bushels OF grain in
the q states In which the educational
work was carried on last year.
When an average Of eight bushels
of grain Is lost on every farm In the

missing or broken teeth, or teeth too

HAD LOTS OF FUN
Mr.. GosIlngton's Experience That
Of Many Others.
Who Wouldn't Feel Pleasure at Hav-
Ing to Secure Larger safe-peposlt
Box for Liberty Bonds and
other Valuables7

Il never would have thought H."
said Mr.. G0slington, but I've had 10
get a bigger ~safe-deposlt box.
Before the great war ! had a mod
est check account, and u little fund
slowed away In a savings bank for
emergencies, but no safe-deposit boz,
large or small. ! had no use for one,
l had no stocks or bonds to keep In
one but when the wal came and We
all began buying Liberty bonds II was
different. | didn't want 10 keep even
the little bonds that represented my
Initial Investment lying around In u
bureau drawer or stored away In a
trunk, so l rented a safe-depOsit box.
! had often read the advertisements
Of the safe-deposlt companies telling
Of how little you could get u box for,
and from that on up. pleasant read-
Ing always, suggestive Of wealth and
coupon cutting. and that sort OF
thing, and now the time had come
when | needed n box myself; and 1t
was q very pleasant reflection. l
guess you know the size box ! took.
"Still, l thought that box would be
plenty big enough for me. ! hadn't
many bonds to put In, you under
stand but, do you know, as o o us l
got the box l found that l had some
other things that really belonged In
II; Insurance policies and SOME other
papers and documents that were OF
value TO me for financial or other rem
sons and so while the bonds didn't
begin to take all the | soon
found that my little box was packed
80 that l had to crowd the cover down
to get 1t to close.
"And / will admit that tho safe
deposit experience was u lot OF fun
to me. II was u real pleasure 10 me
to have my box politely hauled out
for me from It's deep pigeon hole In
the safe-deposlt vault and II was a
pleasure TO be shown to n cubby hole
with n door that / could close, and
where l found II desk and pens and
Ink and paper and shears and coupon
envelopes and so on II was II pleasure
TO be n s~afe-deposit customer, and l
certainly did smile when l used those
shears for the first time, cutting or
coupons.
Then the time came when. as |
bought more bonds, aud what with the
other stun In Il, the box was so full
that they had hard work to crowd Il
into its pigeon hole and hard work
to pull II out, and then l simply had
TO buy Il bigger box, aud that was fun,
too.
"Of course. you know | did not now
buy n large safe, or n ROOF with
shelves around TO store my bonds ON
nor did | have to hire II scissors sharp
ener to keep my coupon shears sharp
so that my clerks would not be de-
layed In cutting the coupons. | may
come TO that, why notf Stranger
things than that have happened to
other people, and | don't know why
they might not happen to me. But
meanwhile II was n satisfaction 10 me
TO reflect that had at least %outgrown
the little box, even though for the
time being | might be able 20 get
along nicely with one just the next
size bIgger."-New York sun.

PRESIDENTIAL BOOM
FOR SEN. CHAMBERLAIN

Washington, Jan. "A presiden-
tial boom for Senator George Cham
berlain, OF Oregon, Is looming as a
result Of his sensational speech In
the senate In which he tore the lid
OF OF the war department and ex-
posed It's workings.
His speech was widely discussed
at the national capital today and
gave impetus to speculation which
connects his name with the presiden-
tial nomination. The Chamberlain
presidential boosters say that the re-
publicans expect to make vast deal
OF capital out OF exposures OF the
short comings OF the war department
in the recent war and that the dem
ocrats could make ten strike by
nominating an independent and fear
less critic and military expert like
Senator Chamberlain. whose leader
ship would give assurance to the
country that the Objectionable con-
ditions In the war department and
other branches Of government would
be remedied.
Already many kilograms and let
ters of approval OF the speech are
beginning to reach the Oregon SEN
ator. Mention OF Senator Poindex-
ter, for the republican presidential
nomination, suggests the interesting
possibility that the Pacific north
west might furnish the rival presi-
DENTAL candidates in 1920.
