Unless there Ii a scarcity Of market
able hay or an unusual demand, the
shipping of poor hay to market gen.
orally results in a loss either to the
producer or shipper. When but little
hay Of inferior quality is arriving on
a market 1t is usually absorbed along
with the good hay at discount rang,
ing from 81 to So per ton for each
grade, each lower grade selling at a
discount of from 81 to So under the
grade next above 1t.
When receipts Of low-grade hay. are
heavy, there is generally wide sprea'
in the discount, so that No. hay
frequently will not bring within
from So to So Of the price at
which the No. grade of the same
kind of hay is selling. Also poor
demand almost always results in heavy
discounts on the lower grades and
buyers show a preference for the
better hay even at higher price
Quality Sometimes Affects Grading.
Investigations by specialists in the
bureau of markets and crop esti-
mates, United States Department Of
Agriculture. show that when any hay
producing section has had unfavorable
hay-making weather, which has caused
hay to become too ripe or stained, or
otherwise damaged, growers or ship
pers in that section are prone to
lower their ideas as to grade require
ments. The best hay in the territory
becomes No. 1, whether 1t fills the
technical requirements of that grade
or not; the lower grades are graded
accordingly. This tendency toward
leniency in grade interpretations is
often communicated TO or reflected In
the tributary rlsrkets. especially II
there Is brisk demand.
Indeed, there are so many factors
which enter into the marketing Of Off
grade hay that 1t is very difficult for
producers or shippers Of such hay ever
to obtain entirely satisfactory results,
and the. department believes that In
most instances 1t would be a much
more profitable procedure to use OF
grade or damaged hay on the farm or
to sell 1t locally to someone who has
use for that particular kind Of hay
When 1t is not possible to dispose OF
the hay in this way and it must be
marketed because Of financial reasons
or lack Of storage, the department
states that the employment of the fol

Columbia Contest
Ends in THO Weeks

The Essay Contest being conducted
by Columbia University ito stimu-
late the writing of English among
schoolboys" closes two weeks from
today.
The prizes are 500, $50 and s25,
respectively. The winner of the
first prize may, I'm lieu of the cash
prize of 500, have a scholarship for
the first year in Columbia College.
The renewal of the scholarship In
subsequent years will depend en-
tirely upon the quality of his work
as a college student.
In order to bring the number of
essays within limits that make care
full reading practicable, not more
than one essay from any given
school will be accepted in the finnl
competition. 1t is hoped, however,
that the teachers of English in the
several schools will encourage school
competition, so that the essay en-
tered in the final contest may be
representative Of the school as Il
whole.
The subject is THE Place of Ath-
letics In Education" This subject
has been chosen because it is a quss-
ton upon which most young men,
whether athletes or not, have def
mite opinions. The essay must not
contain more than $500 words.
The essays must be in the hands
of the secretary Of the university
before January /. 1922, and the
judges will render their decision as
soon as the reading of the essays
can be completed.
A letter containing further infor-
nation I'm regard to the contest says
that "the matter of form is left to
the Judgment of the contestants,
and will in that way form an ele-
ment in the decision of the judges.

Present History
Studied at E. II. S.

Arrangements for a regular and
general plan of procedure for study
ing of the armament conference
events have been made by Eastern
students.
One plan calls for a two-minute
speech each week by students in the
history classes of the progress Of
the arms parley and its significance.
When students are aware of the
fact that they are to face their
class and deliver a speech on the
proceedings they take more interest
in the developments of the confer
ence. BY stimulating interest in the
sessions school officials hope to i'm
press the pupils with the educa-
tional value of this present history.

The annual fall entertainment of
the Eastern High School Glee Club
is to be given Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday nights. A joint program
will be given by the boys and girls
The performance is to be presented
in two divisions. One part Of the
program will be given by the girls
and the other by the boys.
The girls part of the show will
consist of Japanese operetta. the
title of which is ''Chrysanthemum."
This show is "a Japanese idyll, the
words and music of which are by
Edward Muth. The production is
staged under the general direction
of Mrs. Frank r. Byram.
The scene Of the operetta is laid
in the gardens of a royal palace in
Japan. The story of "Chrysanthe-
mum" centers about the love Of
Chrysanthemum for her exiled lover,
Omonye. Miss Anna King plays the
role Of Chrysanthemum, while the
lover is portrayed by Miss Katherine
Browne. The action of the play
revolves mainly around the efforts of
the ladies of the court to relieve
Chrysanthemum of the grieving and
sorrow caused by her absent lover.
The efforts Of he ladies have little
effect upon her until they hear of
the Magic Chrysanthemum."
Through the power of the royal
flower, Omonye returns to his be-
loved Chrysanthemum. The play is
deliberately gowned and the acting Is
Of high caliber. Miss Edna Burrows,
Miss Margery Black, Miss Edna
Mazullo. Miss Mildr "a Boynton. Miss
Frances James and Miss Rubelle
Blanton play important parts. The
production is filled throughout with
brilliant bits of singing and dancing.
The cast is supported by a splendid
chorus of thirty-five girls. During
the intermission Miss Hazel Jen-
nings, Mr.. Bowersox and a double
Quartet'are the attractions.
