WHEN the commission mad
on any grain exchange
first examines the grain
samples which have _ been fur
nished him by the state Inspec
tion department, taken from cars
on track and consigned to him for
sale, he immediately proceeds to
check the grade which has been put
upon It.
The sample usually comes to him
In a paper sack. He first plunges his
hand deep into the sack, and so ex
perienced is he that by the feeling
of it he can tell almost exactly the
percentage of moisture contained.
He then spreads It out on his palm
and examines It for dirt, weed
seeds and blighted kernels.
Then taking a double handful he
sticks his nose In It, taking a long
and judicial sniff, which tells him
whether the grain la moldy or out
of condition.
[ He then takes his little bran
shale, the bucket of which Is so
proportioned that It will give the
exact weight per bushel.
The federal grades are exactly,
stipulated so that each of these
Items Is given In fractions of per
cents. If the commission man be
lieves that the sample will grade
one notch higher he Immediately
calls for a resampling, and In Chi

the purpose, and other exchanges

W-bcn Feminism Was Flanked.
From the St. Louis Post-Dispancb
Whe 1 the history of the men of l*e
20th century is written, the name of Us*
Williams, of Gillespie, Macoupin count*',
111., U S. A., will loom large. The faith
ful chronicler will tell how Osa, in man’s
darkest hour, with the she-homos In toe
saddle and riding hard, led the way to ,
the blight and showed how even men
might still be of some use on the earth.
It "Kill be recorded that In September,
1S20, while the women politicians of Ma -
coupin county were mobilized at the
county fair contriving the complete sub
jugation of man, Osa Williams executed
a masterly flanking movement and
gained the domestic science position and
there entrenched himself and showed all
-men how they could rehabilitate theta
selves by doing the things the women
had left undone, in order to do the things
that the men had always drag.
Osa Williams is a bachelor. And •
>baker. Not the professional kind. Strict
ly a,gentleman amateur. He is a homo
body and bakes only for his own pleas
ure. When ho discovered that the
women had left off baking to run the
country, he invaded the baking field with
six cakes and several different kinds of
bread , and at last accounts he was cap
turing the blue ribbons like a skirted vet
eran of the'bake pans.
It Is too soon to estimate the far
reaeblng effects of the baking of Osa
Williams, of Gillespie, Macoupin county,
but It cannot be doubted that In the fu
ture when the tale la told of how the
men escaped complete extinction in the
flood «f feminism in the early part of the
20th century. Osa Williams and his roll
ing pin and bake pans will get their due.
‘Potatoes Prove It.

local potato growers’ associations, the •
members of which market their crop,
collectively, through the central organi

manner save through timely delivery of
the crop The fanner delivers his crop
to hto local association and to paid for

capital invested In the crop, the ex
change cannot be put out of business
by a sudden slump in the market or by
competition, fair or unfair. It regulates
the quality of the product it places on
the market, god Its word stands behind
ihsry carload li-shipe. All sales of po

I After Thorough Trial a Detroit, I

The following letter written
from Detroit, Michigan is no snap

in the Michigan Metro
polis, writes: “After
using PE-RU-NA for
about one year will say
I have found it a vary

me a great deal and I
am very well satisfied. I have

people in every com
