There may be no such thing as a
sixth sense, but in many lines of work
there are certain kinds of knowledge
that appear remarkable to others who
have different occupations.
For instance, there is the art of
opening safes by listening to the lock
tumblers passing each other; the abil-
ity to guess within a few pounds of
the weight of man or beast; and, of
course. the fellows who can spot an
automobile in the distance and tell
you it's name and model
No less remarkable than some of
these things is the way in which many
"A country grain buyer can tell his Gus
toner's team of horses as far he
can see them Not only that, but he
learns to know his customers grain at
the beginning of each crop season and
does not need to run tests every
load hauled. A test of the first load
two of a farmers crop is usually
enough to form a correct idea Of
the quality and condition of that farm
er'S grain Of course, every load is
closely examined to see If it is uni
form with previous loads.
With all this Superknowledge, how
ever, the country grain buyer often
overlooks the need for a better know1-
edge of federal grain grades, accord
ing to the bureau of markets, and this
is said to explain certain criticisms
leveled at federal grain grades as ap-
piled at country points Wherever
federal grades are used by country
buyers who understand how to apply
them, reports show that such country
buyers are holding their trade and
that the farmers seem better satisfied
than to have a buyer make a price
without y definite standard as a
basis.

Auditorium Needs

Ordway has completed a school
year In handsome new school build
ing which Is provided with an audi
torium FOR school and community use.
The auditorium is an excellent one
seating over 100 people No. part Of
the building Is more appreci&xSQ than
is this commOdious meeting place
No patron OF the district, no has at
tended one of the recent school events
would want to be without this audi
torium. 1t Is a valuable asset to the
school disti let and tends to create
more interest in the schools by the
people Of the district.
The value of this auditorium to the
schools and to the community in gen.
eral shows what valuable asset an
auditorium down town for other uses
would be. There are innumerahia
kinds Of meetings, concerts and gath
erings which can well be held In this
school auditorium, but doubtloss
there are as many kinds of meetings
and gatherings which would not be
appropriate for that place. Ordway
needs place down town for general
use.
There are meetings, such as politi-
cal gatherings, shows, church socials
road meetings. agricultural gather
ings, and the like for which theater
building or municipal auditorium
could be used.

would like to be government officials,
express deep understanding and ap-
pr..ciation of the power of the coun-
try press Editors become 1.-The

Once in a while we come to realize
just how strong the influence Of the
country newspaper really is. and then
/. is pleasing to step for a minute
from the editorial pedestal and talk
heart to heart with our readers.
Every thinking man knows that
the newspaper has no inherent power.
The power it has is that of its sub
sCribers, and that power Is felt Just
as the subscribers decide 1t shall be
felt. Just as they permit the paper to
reflect the combined thought and
wishes of the people.

Backed by their readers the rural
newspapers of this country can work
Unreasonable good to the farmers
and to other citizens in almost all
walks of life if they bring home to
the government the necessity of US
ing advertising to establish a proper
contract with the public. Without
the backing of their readers, the
newspaper campaign for government
advertising will not prove effective,
because lot of smali-minded polite
ians, who want to make a record for
economy, will be able to make other
congressman believe the publishers
are pressing this matter for selfish
purposes.
We would like to interest the read
ers of this newspaper to join with the
readers of other home town newspap-
ers to urge their congressman and
their senators to give heed to the call
for government advertising.
The government found 1t must
keep close to the people in time
of war. and this is quite as important
in the time of peace. The peoples
money pays for the gathering of use
full information, and the public is en-
titled to get the benefit of that infor-
nation. The people can learn how
to conserve health, how to conserve
food-how to foster and save crops,
and. besides this. they could learn
what the government is doing from
time to time. The people would find
government advertising a splendid
interest return in their taxation.

Farmers Advertise

The attention of the New Era has
been called to q recent issue OF the
Fennimore. Wis. Times as an ex-
ample of the effective use which the
farmers Of the middle west and we1t
are making OF advertising IN their
local newspapers.
This issue of the Times contains
18 display advertisements relating to
agriculture. Seven of them are
quarter-pnge advertisements of auc-
tion sales. The agricultural adverti-
ing dominates the paper.
In addition to display space. The
Times carried over a column OF want
ads of which more than one-half per-
tain in some way to farming. The
Times is a paper much like the New
Era. This particular issue contain
ed IL pages. Fennimore apparently
is not an exceptional town. Its pop
ulation is given as ,159.
More and more the farmers of New
York State are coming to see that it
will pay them to advertise the same
as any other business men. The ex-
changes which this paper receives
bear evidence to the increasing real

Remember the Dead

the services and ceremonies were in
keeping with the solemnity of the
occasion.
few short years ago when tho
ranks of the veterans of the Civil war
commenced to thin at very MOTTO
able rate we wondered what might be-
come of these memorial and decora-
tion days. for seemingly there was not
proper interest, and to view the
future we wondered IL they would be
observed properly after these veteran
had passed on. But they will and the
annual custom will be carried on with
due Bpp-eo iation of their meaning.

WHEAT IMPORTS FROM
CANADA ARE HEAVIER
More Flour Comes in During
First Half of October.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Imports of
Canadian wheat and flour during the
first fifteen days OF October were
greater than In any corresponding
period in the last seven years. the Fed
eral Trade Commission says to-day in
a report to President Wilson. The re-
port was based on an investigation or
dered by President Wilson after he had
been asked by Gov. Allen of Kansas to
place an embargo on wheat Imports
from Canada.
The commission found that 1850, 900
bushels of Canadian wheat and 65,946
barrels of Canadian flour were shipped
into the United States during the first
fifteen days of last month, which was
more than three times such shipments
In any October In the last seven years.
according to the report.
The largest October importations in
this period amounted to only 1,754,000
bushels" the commission said. THAT
was in 1915. They are also at rate
considerably greater than the impor-
tations In January. 1918. when the Inn
port aggregated $4,000. This was the
largest monthly importation from
Canada between 1912 and 1913.
I'm respect to the wheat flour. the
imports from Canada during the first
fifteen days of October, 1920. were con-
siderably over half Of those during
September, 1917, when the quantity i'm
ported was greater than In any month
during the seven years prior to 1920.
Members of the commission stated
that the investigation was being pressed
and that all available data were being
assembled to give correct represen-
tation OF conditions bearing on the
wheat market. Although no reference
was made TO the wheat price decline
the unofficial statement that heavy i'm
portations from Canada had HAD an
important effect on market quotations
was made.
