RIO TRADE MARK
RULING FAVORS u. S.

RIO DE JANEIRo. Dec. 5.--Amer-
lean exporters and manufacturers
scored a victory in the decision
handed down by the Supreme Court
Of Brazil, concerning the registra-
tion of trade marks in Brazil. The
court decided that the board of
trade of Rio de Janeiro has the
power TO refuse to grant requests for
the federal registration in Brazil Of
trade marks already registered in
one of the states of the republic.
Formerly the board of trade had
automatically granted all requests
for the registration Of trade marks
already state registered. Foreign in
terests had long sought the revoca-
ton Of this custom. because IL had
been used in many cases as a means
Of registering foreign trade mar.
by persons having no legitimate
claim TO such trade marks.
Many American firms have shipped
wares to Brazil for sale only to find
that their trade marks already were
registered here.

Weapon Made by Haida In
dian After Exciting Hunt
In Archipelago.

The latest, addition to the collec-
tion of curios and relics in the
Library of Congress Is a hunting
knife. To the observer. the chief
interest lies in its wooden handle,
carved into the Indian totem repre-
sentations of a bear and a beaver.
But the knife is the emblem of an
adventure, or. rather. a series of
adventures. such as few men have
experienced and lived.
When the knife was turned over
to the library during the past week,
ii was accompanied by the following
letter:

Philadelphia. - The genus porous

HALF CENTURY OF WAR ENDS
Yaqui Indians Negotiate Peace Treaty
With the New Government
of Mexico.

Los Angeles.-For the first time in
half a century the Yaqui Indians Of
Sonora have had the experience Of ne
gotiating a treaty with the Mexican
government and having that treaty full
filled promptly and to the letter by the
federal and state authorities.
The result of this belated showing of
good faith is that the Yaquis, for the
first time in fifty years, are deserving
their mountain strongholds and return
ing to the ways of peace and civiliza-
ton.
This information reached here from
Jacob S. Sheperd, formerly of Los An
geles, who is now reopening mining
properties in the state of Sonora which
have been idle during the many years
that Mexico's industrial life has been
paralyzed as the result Of revolutions.
For the first time since 1902, Mr..
Sheperd writes, it is possible to go
with safety into the Yaqui river coun-
try, not only with the consent Of the
Indians but actually with their cordial
assistance.

The Ark of the Covenant.

The Ark of the Covenant was the
sacred chest which the Lord directed
Moses to make to contain the, tables
of the law which he had received on
Mount Sinai. 1t was four and e
half feet long, two and o%ne-fourth feet
wide and two and %One-fourth feet high.
1t was covered within and without
with gold and was carried by slaves
inserted in rings on the corners. This
Ark of The Covenant was the most
sacred possession of the Israelites. It
was placed in the holy of holes in the
tabernacle and later in a similar posi-
ton in SoIomon's temple. The ark was
carried from one place to another and
what finally became of it is unknown.

HISTORY BOOKS ARE WRONG
Documentary Evidence Concerning
Declaration of independence and
I%;ncoIn's Gettysburg Speech.

I'LL" Federation of Independence
wasn't signe' on July 4, 177G. Abra-
ham Lincoln 3idn't dash off his famous
Gettysburg ;.,l3ress on an old envel-
ope as he rode on the train to Gettys-
burg. Most likely, George Washing
ton never chopped down the cherry
tree. The manuscript division of the
library of congress isn't IRE about
the cherry tree episode, because
George didn't write a letter about it,
but it holds documentary evidence re-
garding the other two Illusions of our
school days, so the history books that
we studied so trustfulIy were wrong.
The manuscript division has the two
original drafts of the Gettysburg
speech, one carefully written on Off
cial White house stationery, partly in
pencil, and the other in ink, both dis
playing Lincoln's well-known hand
writing. The first draft and the re-
vised copy differ slightly from the adj
dress as it was finally delivered.
AS for the Declaration Of Indepen-
dence, the official journal of the Con-
tinental congress for July 4, 1776,
shows that on that day congress adopt
ed the declaration by vote. but the
signing, which we make so much of.
was deferred as unimportant. Most
of the members signed the document
a month later, while in 1881, five years
later, some other congressman Swho
were not in office in 1776 also added
their signatures, thereby gaining i'm
mortality.

Weighing Ice at Horne.

A close estimate of the weight of
ice can be reached by multiplying to-
gether the length. breadth and thick
ness of the block in inches, and divid-
ing the product by 80. This will be
very closely the weight in pounds.
Thus, if a block is 10 by 10 by 8. the
product is 900 and this divided by 30
gives 80 pounds, as correct weight. A
block 10 by 10 by 6 weighs 20 pounds.
This simple method can be easily ap-
piled, and it may serve to remove un-
just suspicious, or to detect short
weight.

Dockage Test Described.

oOSNaSS iSol SSSSi
The dockage test is made ordinarily
by weighing 1000 grams of wheat
(about pa pounds, which constitutes
q representative sample. Grams are
used instead of other units for ease in
determining percentages.
The dOckage is separated from this
1,000-gram sample by screening with
pan sleeves of specified types or by
using a cleaning device which has been
officially approved. The dOckage so
separated is weighed and the percent
age is found, based on the total weight
of the sample including the dockage.
If the amOunt of dockage is below l
per cent it is ~diSregarded. For exam
pie, if only one-half of l per cent of
foreign material is separated by the
means described above, no dockage is
assessed. This one-half of ! per cent,
however. should not be returned to the
sample used in determining the grade.
If ~ per cent of dOckage is Separat-
ed, ! per cent Of dockage would be in
dicated in assigning the grade. Thus
it will be seen that any fraction of a
per cent of dockage is considered as a

Indicated in Certificate.
After the dockage is removed the
clean sample is used in determining
the grade, save in a few exceptions.
Dockage does not affect the grade as
signed to the wheat. If ] per cent or
more of ~separable foreign material is
found, dockage is assessed. In the in

If the wheat Seed used is carefully

the wheat is carefully threshrd and

when the crop is marketed.
Apply to Foreign Material.
Two terms in the federal wheat
standard apply to foreign material
"dockage" and foreign material other
than dockagc." The former is foreign
material that is separated from the
sample of wheat by the proper use of
appropriate hand sleeves. "Foreign

OF prime Importance to the wheat
growing farmer is an understanding of
dockage as the term is used in federal
wheat grades, and how dockage in
wheat is determined, since in grading
wheat under federal standards one Of
the fundamental principles is to deter
mine the numerical grade on a dock
age-free basis. With a few exceptions
the dockage is first removed from the
samples and the grade determined
with the clean or dockage-free wheat.
Dockage is the foreign material
screened from a sample of wheat to, be
graded, by the use of appropriate hand
sieves or other cleaning devices, and
consists of sand, dirt, weed seeds, weed
stems, chaff, straw, grain other than
wheat, and any other foreign material.
1t also may contain finely broken or
small, shriveled grains of wheat, in
cases where such material cannot be
separated from dirt and other foreign
material by the use of appropriate
Cavalier County farmers press. (Langdon, N.D.) 1920-1921, 1920-12-09
Foreign Material Determined.

The purpose of the dockage provi-
sion in the federal wheat standards is
to enable the perSonSgrading the sam
pie to determine the approximate
amount of easily separated foreign ma
terial that is in the lot of wheat.
Therefore, dockage is approximately
the percentage of foreign material
which can be easily removed from the
lot Of wheat by the commercial types
OF cleaning machinery commonly found
in grain elevators and mills.
The dockage test is described in

age Under Federal Wheat Grades"

ture to aid wheat growers and others

ture of wheat grading as provided in
