INSPECTION AIDS EXPORTER
Federal Certificates of Importance as
They. Guarantee Shipments Meet
Requirements.

An illustration of the important
service which inspectors Of perishable
food, representing the bureau of mar
kets, United States department Of
agriculture, are able to render export
ers, Is found In the work recently done
in connection with the shipment
abroad of 100000 pounds Of butter.
This butter was destined for one Of
the European countries, but because
previous uninspected shipments had
not come up to specifications, the ex-
porting house, to protect itself against
further complaints, requested United
States government inspection. This In
sured delivery of butter Of the quality
called for in its contracts. The bu-
reau of markets inspectors were called
on to certify the grade of the batter
which was held in Minneapolis, Chi
cage, Boston, Philadelphia and New
York warehouses. These are the
points at which butter inspectors are
regularly stationed.
The inspections were made as re
quested and such lots as did not come
up to the stipulated score were with
held, while the rest was started on
it's way. From this incident it APP
pears that federal inspection certif-
Gates are proving of value to export
ers since they guarantee that the
shipments concerned fully meet spe-
cific equirements-an important fac
tor in promoting foreign trade rela-

out. The natural result is that work
turned out under poor light is poorer
in quality and less in quantity while
the general lowering of the workers
efficiency makes him less alert and
hence, more liable to injury.
1t has taken the employer longer to
appreciate this EDITION than the
workman, whose complaints have Of
ten gone unheeded. 1t is hopeful
sign of the new era of industry that
the movements on foot to better indus
trial life contemplate among the first
steps forward the installation of illu-
limitations which will cut down the
terrible waste, of human energy due
to accident and at the same time pro.
mote the efficiency of the individual
and increase the nations output.

Better homes on the farms" is an
excellent slogan that is gaining ire
mendous impetus throughout the coun-
try. The old-time, long-accepted idea
that the farm home was merely a roof
and four walls Is losing a foothold
because of the development of the
building enterprise and individual am
bition. a'he housewife has become
acquainted with the beauties and con-
veniences Of the city home and she in
sists that her nest shall be just as
modern as any, Moreover she has be-
come tired of the back breaking
drudgery that kept her tied to the
limits of the house and made her work
ing day one long, endless, monotonous
grind.
The effect is apparent in all sec
lions of the country. The farm home
is no longer subordinated to the dairy
barn, the implement shed or the poul-
try house. Today it is first in the
mind Of the farmer. certainly first in
the eyes Of his wife and of tremend-
ous Importance to the children. I'm
less home surroundings are made at
tractive they will leave the farm for
the cities where attractions abound.
AS a result the farm home is as at
tractive, convenient and modern as
most houses in cities. Electric light,
running water, bathrooms and laun-
dries are no longer something to he
dreamed about they are actual real
tiles in the farm home
That this is true is borne out by the
picture and floor plans of the farm
home shown here. This house could
very easily grace the streets of a high.

COWS REPAY GENEROUS FEED
Animals Take Raw Materials and
Work Them Over Into MiIIc--Dis-
pose of Shirkers.

The COW must be regarded as a sort
of living machine. She takes the raw
materials given her in the form of
feed and works them over into milk.
If the supply of proper materials is
small, the output will be small The
COW that will not repay generous feed
ing should be disposed of and one
bought that will. There are, of course,
certain inbred characteristics or nat
ural qualities which even liberal feed
ing cannot overcome.

PRESENT SESSION Of

GOVERNMENT LOSES MILLIONS
OPERATING RAILROADS
John K. Shields Appointed Member
Of Forest CommissiOn-May Gre
ate New Board For Curbing De-
mands From Executive Depart
ments-To Hasten Disposal of
Stored Liquor.

Loss to the government in opera.
ton of the railroads under federal
control will be about $1,000, 000,0 00
or $500, 100000 more than estimated
by former Directors General Hines,
according to an estimate made by
Director-General Davis.
The director-general made his es-
mate in the course of report to
Chairman Good of the House appro-
priations committee on the progress
made by the railroad administration
in liquidating claims in closing out
federal control Former Director
General Hines estimated the loss to
the government in operation during
the period Of federal control would
be 5000, 478,756.
Differences between the admins
tration and the carriers as to the LA
bility Of the government for UNDER
maintenance during federal control,
amounting to several hundred million
dollars, may be carried to the SUI
preme court for final adjustment, the
report said. 1t was estimated that
when all the carriers have filed their
undermaintenance claims they will
aggregate between S700,000,000 and
$500, 000, 900.
The report shows that the railroad
administration had assets aggTegat-
ing $430, $3.50, 138.08, consisting Of me-
gotiable obligations of carriers, such
as equipment trust obligations and
notes and bonds taken by the adj
during federal control.
The delay in settling claims has
been caused chiefly by the slowness
Of the roads in filing their claims,
the report said, adding that prac-
tically no claims had been filed in
1920.

The House committee on labor has
heard testimony to the effect that
the government Of the United States
pays $4,000 Of It's employees no more
than $50, $50, $40 and $S3 month;
that large numbers Of the govern
ment positions at such rates are va
cant for lack Of qualified applicants
willing to accept those rates; that
the high turnover in the government
service, due to low wages, is an ex-
pense to the government amounting
to millions Of dollars; and that both
men and women employees at these
low rates are obliged to work at
night in other jobs in order to exc
out a living. OF the $4,000 men and
women in this lowest paid group,
about $4,000 are in the District Of
Columbia and $4,000 in the field.
This testimony was given at a
hearing on the Nolan minimum wage
bill for federal employees. The bill
provides a minimum wage of So a
day, 500 month, or $1,000 q year
for all adult full-time employees.
Personal testimony was given by
Edward Morris, messenger for the
board of charities for the District Of
Columbia, who has worked for ID
years at salary of $500 and who
has wife and dependent child.

Senator John X. Shields has been
appointed member Of the national
forest commission to fill the vacancy
created by the resignation of Senator
Gerry. The law creating the COM
mission provides for two members of
the Senate of different political
parties and two members Of the
House, and the appointments are
made upon the recommendation Of
the respective leaders of the parties
in the House and in the Senate.
Senator Shields was recommended
BY Senator Underwood and other
Southern Democratic senator's.
This is the first time that the
South has had a representative upon
this commission, and Senator Shields
will have an opportunity to do much
for Tennessee and adjoining states
in purchasing and improving the
great Appalachian forest reserves.
AS he is deeply interested in such
matters, it is expected that hereafter
more purchases and more improve
ments win be made in the Southern
states.
