FLOUR MILL
BY PRODUCTS
IN TARIFF BILL
st. Adams Grain Dealer
Before Senate
Committee

By-products of flour mills, such
as bran and middlings, used extern
sively in the preparation of poul-
try and other manufactured feeds,
ought to be carried in the pending
tariff bill on a specific duty basis
rather than an valorem accord
ing to the clear and concise argu-
ment presented before the Sc ate
Finance Committee on TUESDAY by
Charles M. Cox, of the St. Albans
Grain Company. In appearing be-
fore the committee Mr.. Cox re-
presented not only his own con-
Germ hut also the entire Grain and
feed industry of New England as
we'll as, specifically, the Grain
Board of the Boston Chamber of
Commerce. Well-informed per-
sons who make a business of fol-
lowing the committees delibera-
tons believe that he made ou- so
good case as to have won his
point without question.
The Underwood Tariff law LET in
bran and kindred products, includ-
ing buckwheat, on the free list.
The Emergency Tariff imposed an
ad valorem duty of ten rer cent
1t is proposed in the Fordnev bill
to raise the duty on bran to fifteen
per cent ad valorem and on buck
wheat to place a duty of thirty
cents per one hundred pounds Mr.
Cox argued for a specific dutv Of
ten cents per 100 pounds on bran
and middlings, and asked for the
placing buckwheat on the free
list, but failing that. for the same
specific rate as on bran. At the
close of his argument Senator Nc
Cumber of North Dakota. and
Watson of Indiana. freely admit
ted that these products should be
carried in the bill on specific duty
basis.
Mr.. Cox. who as the head Ct
Vermont industry manufacturing
an output of eighteen car loads
day is familiar with the subject
from the ground up, showed how
owing to the high freight rates
now prevailing the price of ban
in the New ENGLAND states durin~
the month of October was double
the value of this product in North
Dakota. He made it clear that
the assessment of an ad valorem
duty would be the cause of many
disputes and much litigation as be-
tween the importers and the Gov
eminent in arriving at a fair val
uation in the Unied States. If
American valuation be taken at the /
port of entry and if bran be en-
be entered for ad valorem duty
in say Minnesota, at $12 per to"
and at the same time be entered /
in Vermont at $22 per ton. it was
The Caledonian-record. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1920-current, 1921-12-17

quite obvious that Vermonters
would be paying a duty on the
freight of this product Thus the
ad volorem and American valua-
ton features as applied to bran
and such products promise, if car
ried out, to operate greatly to the
farmers disadvantage, since bran
is regarded as a highly valuable
feed for cattle and horses.
AS to buckwheat, it was shown
to the committee that. for the pa
seventeen years there had been no
duy on this article. There is no
i,en of domestic saving" sail a
brief before the committee onthis
subject, (which comes closer to
the common people of New Eng
land than that of keeping a small
flock of hens. Their number is
legion and they are scattered
through every town and many
cities.
Buckwheat is fed entirely in
New England to hens and is an
important adjunct. The keeping
of hens in small fiocks tends to
reduce the cost of living and finds
partial employment for thousands
of people of very modest means.
In New England there are no mills
manufacturing buckwheat into HUI
man food, but are

this grain is imported from Cana Ia
and used as feed for hens. Buck
wheat is a peculiar crop, some
years the supply being very short,

South Africans
Without Peers in
Art Home Brewing

Chicago, June 12.-American home
brewers, laboring with hops and malt
in dusty cellars or behind drawn
blinds, are the veriest amateurs when
compared with the jungle natives of
South Africa, according to the Rev.
William c. Terrill, Methodist Episco-
pal missionary of johannesburg, Brit
ish South Africa, who is visiting
Methodist headquarters here.
So Skillful are the bush savages, he
says that they can make alcoholic
drinks from practically anything that
grows in the jungle. Oranges, lines,
! sweet potatoes, pienapples, corn, cas-
sava root and all kinds of native
fruits are turned into strong drinks.
l. The compounds of the kitchen distl-
Ter are mild alongside some of the
South African beverages. He describ-
ed drink which reverses the motor
nerves, giving tipplers an irresistible
desire to walk backwards with a car
nival of ludicrous antics. The liuu,or
comes from the fruit of the cashew
I tree. The abundant juice ferments in
the sun within a few hours and the
longer it stands the stronger it be-
comes. When fermentation has gone
far enough the natives distill the pro-
duct and obtain a liquor with a very
high alcoholic content, S well as there
being big percentage of ammonia

Spoil Scrap of Ty

New York. June 12-Babe Ruth
and Ty Cobb squared off on the
baseball diamond today in the pose
Dempsey and Carpenter will assume
July 2. The home-run king and the
Detroit manager had exchanged
words previously and they came to-
gether as Ruth was going to center
field at the conclusion Of the fifth
inning, in which New York made
seven runs.
The two famous figures Of the
baseball world glared at each other,
and lifted arms to a sparring posi-
ton. That was all. Umpire Dineen
and several players puMed the two
players at safe distance from each
other and the game went on.
Good feeling appeared to be re-
stored in the seventh, when Ty and
Babe smiled as they passed and in
the eighth, when Detroit tied the
score, Cobb patted Ruth on the
shoulder as they were exchanging
field positions. Ruth made his 10th
homer of the season in the fifth off
Sutherland. He is five days ahead of
his 1920 record.
One man was on base when he hit
the home run.

SENATE VOTE TODAY
ON RESOLUTION TO
END STATE OF WAR

Washington, June 12-Republican
leaders. confident of united party
support. predicted tonight that less
than Is votes would be cast in the
House tomorrow against the Porter
resolution terminating the state of
war between the United States and
the central powers.
Chairman Porter of the foreign af-
fairs committee, leading the floor fight
for the measure, declared check up
indicated that the total opposition
would not exceed go votes. Under the
agreement adopted yesterday. 208 to
105, the resolution which is not sub
ject to amendment will be voted on
at 4:30 P. M.
How the Senate might regard the
Porter measure in view of it's recent
action in passing the Knox resolution,
repeating the declaration of war was
the subject of unusual discussion.
Senate leaders have let House leaders
know that they will not turn back,
while Chairman Porter and others
have declared they will not vote to
repeal the declaration of war, believ-
ing it would be construed by the pub
lie as a reputation of the war itself.
AS result of this situation, Demo-
cratic leaders opposing both the
Knox and Porter proposals declared
peace by congressional action was a
long way off.

Readfield, Jun 12-Fire set by a
bolt of lightning which struck the
store Of Charles I. Brown Saturday
evening quickly swept through the
heart Of this town destroying the
buildings and most of their contents,
and inflicting loss estimated at
$4,000. Several of the leading prop
erty owners have stated that it is
not their intention to rebuild and the
blow is one from which the town
probably will not recover for many
years.
The fire was discovered by Mr..
Brown in his store two or three min
utes following the report Of the
lightning bolt. A fire eXtinguisher
was brought into play but failed to
work and the flames quickly worked
their way into the adjoining law
office of Ellsworth E. Peacock, who
owned the building. In the same
building were the rooms of L. G.
Roberts, undertaken. who also dealt
in automobile accessories and furni-
ture. Mr.. Roberts carried his sup
ply of auto tires across the street,
where they were later burned. Mr..
Brown lost all his goods and Mr..
Peacock saved but few of his fur
nishings. Above the store and office
was the Masonic hall, which was
soon ablaze.
The flames leaped across the street
and ignited the block owned by Mr..
Peacock in which were the post
Office and the home of the postmas-
ter, H. E. Sedgley. All the mail and
postoffice fixtures, and a part of Mr..
sedgley's household furnishings were
saved.
