HOUSEHOLD HINTS
/ Organization and Division of
! Labor"
By Mrs. M. T. Upton

It is very easy for most of US to
imagine the home where no system
or organization exists. There is nc
order; things are placed here today
and there tomorrow and valuable
time is spent in searching for arti-
cles which have no settled resting
place. This kind of living or stay
ing, more properly speaking, reacts
upon every member of the house
hold. The work is much harder and
costs infinitely more time, strength
and money than definite and well
regulated home would cost. "It is not
the revolution that wears out the
machinery, it is the friction" and
nowhere do we find this so true as in
the home. If the housewife has had
no training or experience her troub-
les are legion. 1t is first in knowing
how and what to do, the proper di-
vision of this. labor and when it is to
be done. 1t makes very little differ
ence whether it is the woman with
no servant or the one with several.
It is now conceded by every think
ing individual that the housewife
must not only know how the work is
to be done; but must be able to plan
systematize and direct the same.
Apply this knowledge every day

Grain Sampling In Transit
Is Problem for Farm Bureau
Do Producers Benefit From Outside
Terminal Inspection, Is Ques-
ton Puzzling Advisory Group

Do the grain producers of the
Northwest get the benefit, if any,
from the outside terminal sampling
points heretofore maintained by the
principal grain hauling railroads, or
do the grain dealers get it?
That is question, which, at the
present time is puzzling the North
west Shippers Advisory Board, of
which J. F. Reed of the Minnesota
Farm Bureau is chairman. A spec
ial committee was appointed to aid
the joint terminal grain committee of
the board in reaching a solution of
the problem.
During the past few years these
outside sampling points have been
designated by the railroads where
grain may be billed to hold for samp-
ling as to grade, protein content, etc.
with three days free time for this
purpose. After the samples are in
spected by the state inspectors at
Minneapolis and Duluth the shipper
, has had the privilege of diverting the
shipment to either market as his adj
vantage directs. However, the grain
on arriving at the market must again
be inspected, feature which kills one
of the chief purposes which led the
roads to set up the outside terminals
that of saving time and avoiding
congestion at the terminal markets.
On April 20 the railroads notified
the Advisory Board that due to the
heavy cost of maintaining the outside
terminals they would abolish the priv
ilege of outside stops for sampling,
at the same time submitting figures
to show the cost to the roads has
been very large annual sum.
At meeting of the special and
terminal grain committees with the
committee of the carriers on May 8
it was agreed by the carriers to hold
up any further action on their notice
of April 20 until July 1, and submit
for consideration by Interested ship.
pers and producers, two propositions
First: That sampling at points out
side of state inspection points be dis
continued.
Second: That sampling be contin.
ued at outside points, as in effect al
present, and that reconsignment al
those points be continued, provided
charges are assessed as present appli.
cable to ordinary freight, namely
$2.25 before arrival at reconsign.
ment point, and $3.50 after arrival
at reconsigning point, subject to de.
murrage as effective in published tar.
ifs.
The two propositions are to be
studied and given full consideration
and will be taken up at another meet
ing of the committees on June 25.
In the meantime producers and
shippers may study the question as
it affects them and make known their
| opinions. 1t is considered certain
that the large cost of this service tc
the railroads is distributed back te
the producers in the form of higher
freight rates, and if the new policy
of car charges is established it should
be determined who bears the cost anC
who gets the benefit thereof.

The Chicago market on eggs, par

little stronger today and represent an
increase in value from " to 1c a

Eggs from the warmer sections of
the country have not shared so much

1t will be noted that there was a

The butter market is just "mark-

CONT of the late season, the butter
is not satisfactory to store in large

the United States Department of Ag'

week or two, that even despite the
