Washington, Oct. 14.-Julius Barnes,
director of the United States grain cor
poratiou, has asked President Wilson
TO raise the export and import en-
bargoes on wheat. the house was in
formed today by Representative
Young Republican, North Dakota.
Mr.. Young introduced a bill levying a

Mr.. Young also said that grain cor
poratioQ officials had advised him. by
telephone that they had received the
following MESA ge yesterday from Mr..
Barnes at MissOula. Mont:
Have advised trade generally
everywhere that I am convinced
that export and import restrictions
of all kinds should be eliminated at
the earliest possible moment, and
trade should be prepared for such"
MI Barnes was said here to be en-
route to St. Louis to attend the Ma
tional Grain Dealers convention
which opens there tomorrow. Besides
the levy on the wheat imports. Mr.

Most professionals cut the leather
out of the whole sheepskin and it
takes quite a llnack to do it so that
it will wind properly around the shaft
of the club. The cutting is done with
chisel and II demands a steady hand
to make the edges even enough to fit
smoothly when wound.
After the cutting the leather is
wound around the shaft as far down
las it is expected to go and there held
TN place by a tack, the ends cut off
hnd then tied with whipping in sur
brisingly tight knot. The top part is

over the nail with several rounds of
