and its Importance was augmented by the standard
system Of grading corn authorized few years
ago by the federal government. The amount OF
moisture contained in corn is matter of great
concern to the handling it, and grain which in
all other respects appears excellent has TO be
graded low when 1t is filled with water.
Corn containing much moisture does not keep
as well as when dry, as it is apt to heat sour OF
mold. Elevator people do not like to store it for
this reason, and in weather it can be shipped
only at considerable risk. The various industries
engaged in the manufacture of corn products also
prefer dry corn for economical reasons. The
weather at the time the corn is harvested is big
factor in determining the amount of moisture 1t
will contain, but corn absOrbs moisture so readily
that care must be used in handling it at all times
The moisture test is not applied to other grains
except by special request, the percentage or
moisture they contain Is usual negligible guam
tty.
The apparatus used for determining the amount
of moisture in corn is im,)le enough in its Op-
GRAFTON yet truly wonderful in its achievement
Its principle is to boil the water out of the corn
and cOndense it. This is accomplished by placing
the corn in glass container, shaped like bottle
and containing certain amount of OIL A ther-
mometer, with rubber stopper attached, is placed
in the neck of the flask and the grain and Oil
heated to a temperature of 100 degrees centigrade
Steam from the grain condenses in passing
through cool tube to graduate, and reading OF
this graduate completes the test. The Illinois in
spection department has 10S of these moisture
testing apparatuses, and is the largest one in OPP
Grafton anywhere. A dozen men are engaged in
this work alone and each one has certain task
to perform. Corn that shows only IA per cent
moisture is graded No. l, and if % per cent No. e.
In determining the grade of the corn there are
other things besides moisture to be taken into con-
sideratiOn. These damaged Kernels foreign
matter corn that is hot. heat damaged, fire-burnt
sour musty immature, blistered or infested with
live weevi 'White corn" must be at least 9S
per cent white, and "yeow corn at least 50 per
cent yellow. The grades Of wheat are determined
by the variety, winter spring, hard or soft and
by soundness, pumpness. dryness, sweetness,
weight, and also depending upon how clean it Is
Color likewise is an important factor in grading
wheat Rules for grading oats, rye and barley
are largely the same as those applied to wheat.
The work Of taking samples from the cars OF
grain OF track commences at seven O'Clock In the
morning, and by noon the bulk of the samples
have been graded and delivered to the various
concerns on the Board of Trade. The capacity
of Chicago's grain elevators is 5S,OOOOOO bushels
and these grain storage houses are very import
ant factor in facilitating the handling, accumu-
lating and conditioning of grain.

Seeks Refuge on Board a
British Warship at
Constantinople
RUSSIAN OFFICERS
ARE STIRRED UP
General Romanovsky Was
Slain While With Deni-
kline in Russian Embassy

| Constantinople, April by the As
Z, ISOLATED Press General Denikine,
former commander of anti -bolshevik
forces in southern Russia, arrived here
last night and is to-day a fugitive on
board British warship. Immediately
| after he landed, he went to the Russian
embassy with General Romanovsky,
his former chief of staff, and it was
while he was there that the latter was
assassinated. General Denikine is be-
lcved to be in danger because of the
high feeling that prevails among Rus
sian officers here, and went on board
the warship under a guard of British
soldiers.
General Romanovsky's murderer has
not been apprehended, and there is
little chance he will be caught, as at
taches at the Russians embassy say, so
far as they can determine, nobody saw
the tragedy.
General Denikine and Romanovsky
were talking with Prince Gergarin and
several other Russians in the sitting
room at the embassy and the latter left
to arrange for motor car to bring his
luggage from the steamer A few min
utes later revolver shots were heard
and General Romanovsky was found in
a dying condition in the billiard room.
He was unable to speak when his
friends reached him, having been shot
through the heart and windpipe. Mad
anne Denikine who also was at the EN-
bassy at the time of the tragedy, left
soon afterward with her husband, I'M
der British protection. The incident |
created great sensation here.
General Romanoysky was unpopular |
with the officers and soldiers and many |
charges were made against him, but |
General Denikine refused to dismiss |
him. thus handicapping the movement |
in the opinion of many Russians. OH
Gals at the Russian embassy are dis
pleased at Denikine's acceptance of a
British guard while there, being tech
nically at the time on Russian soil.

of at disadvantage, owing TO the lack
of demand.
/ If Mrs Housewife would take more
interest and specialize in her buying
and would read carefully the articles
that have been and are being published
calling her attention to the cheaper
meats, she would realize substantial
saving. She would soon become con
WINGED that there is exceptionally good
meat in the round, rump, plates, chuck,
: etc.
In the olden DAYS Mr. Housewife
would call for a chuck steak. round
steak, as we'll as an occasional porter
house. Mrs. Housewife now knows
only one steak. and that is the porter
house, which is naturally the most ex-
pensiye, as IL is the most called for,
and il logically must stand the extra
expense. II is the world-old law of
supply and demand.
How many housewives know that
from the chuck they can get steaks,
boiling beef, pot roasts and stew
meatsg The carcass excepting the
lojns and ribs contains meats that are
just as appetizing, delicious and nutri-
tious as the more expensive cuts, which
are the ribs and loins Unfortunately,
however, custom recently has dictated
that the ribs and loins be considered
the more popular. hence the cheaper
cuts have really gone out of their own.
A few wears ago the average house
wife usually called for a chuck steak
or round steak as a matter of eourse.
In fact, il was the daily diet and one
seldom thought Of ordering sirloin or
occasions A good comparison would
be that Of ordering chicken or turkey
for every day Of the week just because
IL happens " be a treat or a special
delicacy. and ii chicken or turkey were
thus ordered the outcome would simply
he higher prices. due To the demand be-
ing larger than the supply.
The round makes wonderful steaks,
pot roast or corned beef. Il represents
approximately p per cent Of the en-
tire beef carcass, and the chuck repre-
scnts approximately - per cent. The
Ioins represent II per cent and the ribs
q per cent and Of the entire carcass /
there j. actually less than ; per cent .
