An Object Lesson
(St. Paul Dispatch)

The northwest dairy exposition will endeavor for
the fifth successive year to present to farmers and
those interested in farming who visit the Minnesota
state fair next month, an object lesson that will
make visible the figures issued by the U. s. de-
partment of agriculture on the terrible and increas-
ing loss sustained by the grain grower in dockage.
The departments figures show that the loss by
dockage ran close to $2OO0O,OOO in 1925 from the
four states Minnesota, Montana, North and South
Dakota, and increase in bushelage Of nearly 2
per cent over 1924. South Dakota lost ss44O tons.
or 81 per cent Of her wheat shipments; North Da-
kota lost larger amount, due to larger crop. but
its percentage was IA. Minnesota lost 3O488 tons,
percentage of 81.
The dairy exposition will attempt to picture the
loss involved by graphs, charts and colored panels.
It will show the loss in freight paid on the weed
seeds shipped with grain. in the binding Irvine,
threshing and labor bills involved in harvesting it.
It will show the trainload Of dockage that arrives
every third day Of the year at the Minnesota ter
mihals.
The dockage so shipped is valuable, for the most
part, to the farmer. A small percentage Of it il
dirt, chaf coal dust, but most Of it 10 composed OF
seeds which when ground supply . good feed ration

comparison, too, as the United States railroads car
ried fewer passengers in any year than the railroads
Of Great Britain. Up 1925 the largest number of
passengers carried in the United States was .21,-
O21 1874, in 1919.
The facts thus permit only conclusion and that
is that the British safety and signal sys-
TENS must be much more perfect than ours. OF
course. their trains run at a slower average rate
than do ours, yet the discrepancy in safety figures
is great that the situation merits grave thought
and careful consideration. Our railway death roll
in the United States is far too high.

New York City. Sept. s.-How the
American Historical Association plans
to spend the income from an endow-
ment fund of $1,000.000 Is explained
in a statement by the Associations
National Endowment committee, of
which former Senator Albert ]. Bev-
erage of Indiana is chairman.
Eleven main tasks, one taking in
studies of the American family, and
other sweeping the inventories of the
nations manuscripts. public and pri-
vate, comprise the immediate pro-
gram, declared vital to the develop
ment of historical research on a scale
commensurate with Americas needs.
The statement. which outlines the
aims of the Associations Maine COM
mittee headed by Kenneth c. NJ. Sils.
president of Bowdoin College, also
lists other proposed undertakings as
essential factors in a thoroughly or
ganiZed scheme of activity, to advance
which in the public interest endow-
ment committees are at work in many
states and cities.
The eleven projects definitely
mapped out and centralized, 1t is
planned. through a National History
House to be established in Washing

of groups of scholars. including work
ers in the related social sciences for

cal backgrounds of problems in Ameri-
can history-such problems, for ex-
ample, as those of international rela-
tions of immigration and sectionalism.
of the common law. of American
business. of agriculture and rural life
and of the American family"
Another definite effort Is "a syste-
matte survey and inventory of manu-
script materials for American history
in the hands of private and indiyid-
uals, libraries and other repositories
throughout the country, with a view
to enabling students to know what
papers of this sort are available and
where they may be found. and to pro-
mote the collections and preserva-
tions Of such materials
In this survey. the National COM
mittee said. ARRANGEMENTS will be
made for cooperative calendaring OF

ance. collections for. libraries and
historical societies in various parts
of the country.
This effort. 1t Is believed. will &c
FAR toward solving the difficulties
now encountered by authors in obtain
ing access to papers of public i'm
portance held in private hands.
Other projects contemplate small
grants to scholars, complete and up

archives, new publications to husband

organizations and agencies in the
