Canadian Wheat
Secured
Director Barnes Obtains Three
Million Bushels. Flour to Sell
at S11.5O Bbi.

New York, May S.-Julius BarneS
United States wheat director, an
nounced tonight on his return from
Chicago that he had completed ne
gotiat ationS to bring four million buSh-
els of Canadian wheat into the Unlt-
ed States for distribution to inc
mills.
These negotiations have been IN
progress for several days with the
Canadian authorities, it was said.
Director Barnes announced turther
that this quantity of imported Wheal
will be sufficient for those mills
which have not provided their stocks
up to the new crop. He has reached
this opinion. he stated, after a sur
vey of the entire mill situation IN TINS
country in. which he found that many
mills are stocked with more than
they can possibly grind before the
new crop is harvested.
Reports reaching the grain corpo-
ration today indicated that the nefc
vcusness and excitement heretofore
ruling III the floor market IN the
United States are being gradually al
layed and that flour prices have SHOWN
a distinct decline in the past week
Mr.. Barnes reiterated tonight tha'
the grain corporation will sell from
its current stocks am. its current
movements through the ports, partlc-
ulacly Boston, New York, Phlladel'
rhia and Baltimore, its standard
grades of flour at s11.50 barrel II
carload lots to bona hde users, ane
that the grain corporation Offices a
all these ports have been instructed
to continue to sell On this basis un:
til the domestic situation is entirely
relieved.
A fair reflection of the govern
ment's fair price resale basis fo'
wheat is shown by the grain corpo
ration's offers to resell and by th'
+; prices fixed for such resale, Mr.
Barnes said.
| Moreover, he said, there is no rea
son why all the domestic grades o.
-four should not bear a reasonable re-
]ation to that basis.

Mr.. Baker on Pig Clubs.

Clemson College. May S.-Mr. l.. l.
Baker, Supervising Agent of BOYS
Clubs, suggests that club boys ard
county agents should lay more stress
on the feeding phase Of club work
just at this time. because of the fact
that the supply Of purcbrcd breeding
stock in some counties is becoming
somewhat greater than the demand
Consequently. some club members
have not found it easy to dispose OF
their surplus breeding stock and have
become disappointed and discourag-
ed.
With more attention to the fatten-
ing or feeding work among club boys
there would be tendency to use UP
the surplus pigs now on hand; and
when a sufficient number has enter
cd this phase Of club work it would
be easy to arrange to market in car
load lots. thus getting quicker and sur
er returns for the members.
Mr. Baker suggests that club
members in this class should not be
limited to one pig if they are prepar-
ed to develop more than one. But
whether one or more. records should
be kept Of all feeds and other cx-
penditures
IT ere is a possibility Of a big fu-
ture.' says Mr.. Baker. for this phase
Of club work. because it means the
disposing of al pigs not needed for
breeding. it encourages cooperation
among members and it helps to solve
the marketing problem for surplus
hogs in each county.

World Religious
Congress
Movement to Hold Conference
OF All Churches of The
World

- Cleveland, May 6.-The churches
of the world look 30 American
churchmen for leadership in bringing
about world conference Of churches.
the Rev. Charles S. Macfarland Of
New York said today in report
read at special meeting here of the
Federal Council of the Churches of
Christ of America, of which lie is the
general secretary.
sRecent correspondence with Chris
tan leaders in the various nations
seems to indicate" DR.. Mcfarland de-
clared, that the time is approaching
for a world conference of the church
es. and there is a general disposition
to look towards the Federal Council
of the American churches for leader
shin in bringing about such confer
ence. Indeed some Of the foreign
church bodies have definitely commit
ted this task to US.
Asserting that "one Of the most I'm
portant developments in the past few
years has been the deepening relation
ship with the church bodies of other
nations" Dr. Macfarland added:
Indeed we find testimony Of the
fact that the existence of the Federal
Council has led to the organization OF
similar federations in other nations
and. in cases where federal councils
prviously existed, to the stimulato'
of their activities. These relation
ships have deepened, especially IL
Europe and more particularly in
France and Belgium"
DIR. Macfarland's report was deyot
ed to ''The Measure and Manner o.
the Federal Councils Service During
the Past Biennium'' He declared
that "the exigencies and opportunities
of the war and Of the social order
have naturally awakened the church
es, stimulated their thought and
aroused their missionary enthusiasm
so that in the necessary revision OF
their programs and the reconstruction
of their administrative forces they
have had one Of those rebirths which
bring renewed vitality and deepened
eff-consciousness.'
DR.. Macfarland said that through
its Commission on Relations with
Orient, the Federal Council faces
great international problems from
which the responsibilities of the
churcnes cannot be separated or iso-
lated.
Abiding to finances. DR.. Macfar-
land said the total receipts and eXpen-
ditures during the past year were
about $4,000. with an additional
s150.00O raised for the relief Of
churches in France and Belgium.
Eight years ago the councils budget
was about $4,000 annually.

Don't Add Acid to Batteries Says En-
npIt.


Among motor car owners. the idea
that the storage battery can be
brought back to a fully-charged con-
dition by filing it with acid has made
considerable headway. in spite Of the
emphatic statement Of battery men
that this is the worst possible thing
that can be done for the battery.
The only thing that the car owner
should ever put into his battery. says
Mr.. Brown. the local Willard repre-
sentative. is pure water" The rea-
son for this is easy to understand.
The electrolite in the battery is an
acid solution. AS the battery dis
charges, the acid is absorbed by the
plates. When the battery is COM
petely discharged. the liquid inside is
practically pure water Charging the
battery reverses this process, that is.
it forces the acid out OF the plates
and into the liquid again. so that
when the battery is fully charged the
electrolite is acid Of normal strength.
If the car owner puts acid into
the battery. be makes the solution
altogether too strong. the chemical
action between the electrolite and the
plates becomes too violent, and finally
causes the oxide and even the frame
work Of the plates themselves to cor
rode.
Acid should never be put into
the battery except by an expert. -
