NEW PLAN ADOPTED
IN LUMBER TRADE
Grade Marking Expected to
Protect Buyers From
Serious Abuses.
BY j. G. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW ORLEANS, March 26.-Grade
marking of lumber, determined on as
new policy of the Southern Pine
association, in convention here, seems
destined to revolutionize the mer-
chandising of this great basic COM
modify in the United States in the
next year.
From April 1, when the new policy
goes into effect, until December 81,
over three billion board feet Of yell
low pine will be marked on the end
OF every piece with the name of the
association, the Identifying number of
the mill where 1t was made and the
exact designation of its quality under
the rules of the American lumber
standards as fixed by the Department
of Commerce.
Protection to Buyers.
Such grade marking means, in plain
terms, that the retailers, architects,
contractors and home builders, as
well as the general public, will get
what they pay for. Prominent man
ufacturers and retailers asserted to-
day that this policy will be a potent
factor In eliminating unfair compe-
tltion, In preventing fraud by I'M
scrupulous dealers who juggle grades
ana In making for economical distri-
button.
Grade-marked lumber will have be-
hlnd 1t the integrity of the official
mill inspection of the association, and
INSCRIPTIONS dealers will be unable
to nullify the care and skill of the
iumbermen by mixing a small pro-
portion of high-grade product with
lower-grade stuff and charging the
high-grade price for all.
First Step Of This Kind.
The Southern Pine Association is
the first organization of lumber pro-
ducers to take this step. 1t marks
recognition of one of the principles
OF modern business that 1t is profit
able to insure fair dealing with the
public. The idea back of the pro-
gram has been to prevent rather than
rectify complaints and to insure sat
isfaction, not under compulsion, but
as right due the consumer.
Edward Hines of Chicago, one of
the largest lumber dealers in the
world, declared today that retailers
IL. all parts of the United States were
demanding protection from unfair
competition from rivals who had made
practice of buying one grade of lum-
Der from manufacturers, regarding
the product and selling 1t as of a
higher grade. Architects and build
erS In the North and Midwest, he
added, were insisting that material
furnished on their specifications
should be grade marked.
Special Campaign Planned.
The association unanimously voted
that its members should pay an as
sessment of three cents thousand
feet on all shipments for six, months
for the purpose of advertising grade
a in Or
public through daily and trade pa
pers, for the benefit of the consum-
ing public and all branches of the
building industry.

HIGHEST RAIL WAGES

Employees in United States Have
Best Standards, Based on
Buying Power.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, March 26.-Rail wages
were higher in the United States at
the first of October last than any
where else in the world.
According to the index compiled by
the International Labor Office, just
received by the Bankers Trust Co.
of New York from its British Infor-
nation Service, railroad wages in the
United States would have bought al
most twice as much as they would
in London, and in Ottawa, which may
be fairly taken as a representative
of eastern Canada, about one and
one-half times. The purchasing pow
err of wages in Amsterdam was about
So per cent of the London figure; in
Berlin 65 per cent. in Brussels SO
per- cent, in Paris rs per cent and in
Vienna only SO per cent.

ject the comparison of the standards

Sure Way To Get
Rid Of Dandruf

There is one sure way that never,
fails to remove dandruff COM
pletely, and that is to dissolve 1t.
This destroys it entirely. To do
this, just get about four ounces
of plain, ordinary liquid arvon; ap-
ply 1t at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and
rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
BY morning most, If not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
two or three more applications
will completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign
and trace of 1t, no matter how
much dandruf you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store and four ounces is all you will need.
This simple remedy has never been known
to Observation-Disclosures.

weather turn warm and continue
dry. the situation is bound TO be-
come serious.
The important thing for a
farmer to do in this emergency
is to keep a close watch Of his
land, particularly pastures, and
il 'hoppers appear in large num-
bers he should put out poison
bait. In case he needs help he
should see his county agent or
telephone or write to the Divi-
sion of Entomology at University
Farm"
Mr.. Nickel recommends the dry
method in mixing poisoned bran
mash. Three important steps
are necessary as follows:
| "a Thoroughly mix 100 pounds Of
coarse wheat bran and Ave pounds OF
crude white arsenic. or paris green.
This can be done by working the
bran and arsenic back and forth with
scoop shovel ON q tight floor or IN
a wagon box. grain tank, or galvan-
ized watering trough. II IL extremely
Important that every flake OF bran
be coated with the poison.
(2) Dissolve Ave pounds Of salt In
~ gallons OF water In d galvanized
tub and add two gallons OF cheap
molasses. Stir until all the ingredi-
ents are well dissolved.
| (3) Work the liquid materials into
the bran and arsenic by adding q
little ut the time and turning with
n scoop shovel or rake until no dry
bran remains. A good mixture will
be uniformly moist and yet will scat-
ter into small flakes when broadcast
cd from the hand.
Twenty pounds Of the prepared
mash to the acre is about the
right amount for an ordinary in
festation. This means only few
flakes to the square foot. Spots
where grasshoppers are densely
massed should receive a heavier
application. One hundred pounds
of bran should make enough mash
to treat ten to twelve acres.
The fight against grasshoppers
must be started early in the sea-
son, when the grasshoppers are
half or three quarters grown.
Early application of poison bait
if properly applied will abso-
lutely clear up an infestation. It
should be remembered that ar
senic is a deadly poison. Great
care should be taken to keep live
stock away from stored poison
bran mash or from barrels or tubs
in which mixing has been done.
In scattered flakes there is no
danger to livestock or birds, but
if allowed to fall in large Jumps
serious results may follow.
| Circular No. II. which gives
full directions as to mixing and
spreading the bait, can be OBJ
tanned without cost on applica-
ton to the Office of Publications.
