When the Hay Has Been Baed and
Separated Into Grades According to
Quality 1t Should Be Loaded Into
Cars With Equal Care as to Grades.
Agriculture show that when any hay
producing section has had unfavorahle
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. /, whether ii 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 markets, especially If
there is brisk demand or an advance
ing market. If the markets are
sluggish and buyers critical, the
opposite is often true and the strict
application of the grades will prove
very disappointing to the shipper.
, Indeed, there are so many factors
which enter into the marketing of off.
grade hay that it is very difficult for
producers or shippers of such hay ever
to obtain entirely satisfactory results,
and the department believes that in
most instances it would be much
more profitable procedure to use off
grade or damaged hay on the farm or

Nonpartisan league of farmers and laborers could
have him appeal to the United States supreme
court, but that would take time and money and, as
he says, he could rest and write but it is absolutely
diabolical to think of sending man to Jail without
semblance of fair trial. Why not get petitions
with signers of the Leaguers of every organization
of farmers and laborers? Most of the Leaguers
think that sending Townley to Jail will bring men,

TO CONTINUE PEACE WORK
THROUGHOUT ALL EUROPE

1t is clear that work in this direction needs the
greatest care; it is very easy to nationalist
feelings even by trying to lessen their manifesto
ton, and in this connection the work of the inter-
national secretary, Miss Balch, by personal visit
to the Balkan states in preparation for the con-
gress, seems to point to useful method of work
in southeastern Europe. A practical suggestion
came from Sweden and it adopted by the con-
gress, that the Women's International league I'M
dertake definite peace work on both sides Of the
frontiers, where, legacy of the Great war, in
creased national antagonism is continual menace
to peace. Emissaries are to work in support of,
and in cooperation with, local peace organizations
already in existence. It was reported that series
of history books is in of preparation, such
books to be translated where lack of common
language is no small obstacle to peace and under
standing.
In the early days of the congress Fraulein Baer,
a brilliant young German woman from Munich, ar
ranged an informal meeting, when reports
given of peace movements among young people.
Miss Hunt of America brought forward motion
calling for special organization work among the
young, while Fraulein Baer, who has been elected
to the new international executive committee urged
that, both by choice and Of dealing with
subjects, the women should definitely aim at at
tracing young women into the general work of the

Health Service for disabled men, in recent inter-
view. The interview was given to delegation Of
women. '..r5
The attitude Of the treasury department toward
the moral conditions of the communities surround
ing Public Health Service hospitals is unequivocally
set forth in Colonel Cfords letter to the surgeon
general of the Public Health Service. The pro-
gram includes the selection of sites and the con-
struction of buildings involving the expenditure of
$18,60O,00O, recently appropriated by congress for
the hospital of disabled men,
Besides the care which Colonel Clifford is show
ing in considering sites for Public Health Service
hospitals, every effort will be made to safeguard
all patients from evil influences and exposure to
disease while they under hospital jurisdiction
To this end Colonel Clifford has issued instructions
to the surgeon general of the Public Health Service
to establish close cooperation with municipal and
volunteer agencies in hospital areas already estab-
lished, SO that the general program maintained
around cantonments during the period of the war
may be continued for the protection Of the govern
ment's patients

disarmament under the craftsmanship of Mrs. An
not Robinson (England) A practical outcome of
the discussion was decision to arrange Inter-
national Disarmament Week, to take place one
week before the disarmament conference called by
President Harding. The suggestion was taken up
with enthusiasm and will form one Of the chief
duties of the league this autumn.
Good work was done by the committee on inter-
national relations, under the Craftsmanship of Miss
Marshall Delegations were present from the
"young nations" and from the eastern Balkan
states, including a large delegation from the
Ukraine Recognizing that these nations had spe-
clal problems of their own, especially in regard to
national minorties, Miss Marshall arranged a spe-
clal session of the congress at which representa-
tves from IA nations had the opportunity of short
statement and to move resolutions. These repre-
sentatives met several times before the session.
and, though considerable latitude was allowed in
the speeches, the resolutions had to be non-contro-
versial; as a result there a resolution on ST.

The national mnorities session was an extremely
interesting experience; it open to the public,

there might have been difficulty in continuing; it

Eastern Europe is once more the

In Prague recently "HRH. the
PRINCE of warwick was arrested
after long and profitable career OF
