4 KITCHEN apron that really
~ protects your dress is one of
u n rubberized cloth. The apron
of gingham or muslin, while protect
ing the dress from spots and stains,
often permits water to soak through
when you are washing dishes, and
when dry the result is a grease spot.
The rubberized apron is very easy
to clean. You simply spread it on
board and wash it with warm water
and soap. Another necessity for the
woman who puts her hands in water
great deal is a pair of rubber
gloves. You will find rubber gloves
of very good quality at the store of
j. Franklin Miller, 1912 Chestnut
Street. If you wear them when you
are washing dishes, etc., you will be
able to keep your hands in good con-
dition-and you remember the say

of the wraps which I saw today at
the shop Of Joseph Habisreitinger,
1911 Chestnut Street, was a cape
of kolinsky, with a most unusual
diagonal line at the back. 1t was
edged with tails of the fur. A
lovely short coat of moleskin had
huge collar and cuffs of squirrel.
1t had generous pockets and a Cir
die of mole, which could be slipped
underneath so that the back hangs
loose.

and its Importance was augmented by the standard
system of grading corn authorized q few years
ago by the federal government. The amount OF
moisture contained In corn is a matter of great
concern to the man handling 1t, and grain which In
all other respects appears excellent has to be
graded low when it is filed with water.
Corn containing much moisture does not keep
as well as when dry, as it is apt to heat, sour or
mold. Elevator people do not like to store 1t for
thls reason, and in warm 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 a Dig
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, as the percentage OF
moisture they contain is usually a negligible guam
tity.
The apparatus used for determining the amount
of moisture in corn Is simple enough in its 0p-
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 a glass c~ontainer, shaped like a bottle
and containing a certain amount of oil. A ther-
mometer, with rubber stopper attached, is placed
In the neck Of the flask and the grain and Oil

through a cool tube to a graduate, and reading OF
this graduate completes the test. The Illinois in
spectien department has 1O8 of these moisture
testing apparatuses, and is the largest one in OF
Grafton anywhere. "A dozen men are engaged in
this work alone and each one has a certain task
to perform. Corn that shows only IA per cent
moisture is graded No. /. and If % per cent, No. 6.
In determining the grade of the corn there are
other things besides moisture to be taken into con-
sideration. These are damaged kernels, foreign
matter, corn that is hot, heat damaged, fre-burnt,
sour, musty, immature, blistered or infested with
live weevil. white corn" must be at least SO
per cent white, and "yellow corn" at least 95 per
cent yellow. The grades Of wheat are determined
by the variety, winter or spring, hard or soft, and
by soundness, plumpness. 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 on 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 58y00O.O00 bushels

A Frenchman on Americanism

A Frenchman Americanism
 There is an expression in use in America which will be difficult for me to give in exact translation, the phrase-give it a chance-give it a chance? It seems to me that the es sence of the American soul lies in this wish to give a chance to all human activity, indeed to all activity which can awaken our sympathy In Wash ington, opposite my window on Six teenth street, there was a lawn on which young grass was growing. This lawn touched the sidewalk, and there was danger of it's being stepped upon. The proprietor fixed a sign there with this inscription: Give the grass a chance,' and no one trespassed- That proprietor knew the American soul

Cowboy Life

One cold morning in December awoke to stand guard over the herd. My horse was in the corral. cold and impatient to be doing something. He was very hard to catch. but when finally did catch him I laid my saddle gently on him and bade him keep quiet. When l got on, the real excitement began. The boys laughed and hallooed for they thought I was going to hit the ground. but I was very lucky, for instead of falling, I leaned forward cS my horse and kept him leveled down. He was still very cold and nervous. so l let him have the reins. He soon brought me to the sleeping herd. which caused them to start in fear. Like a flash my horse was after them, and in short time had them under control.
 Soon they were qulet and thus caused us no more thought until daybreak.
 This is the sort of morning that q cowboy has.
