Tho state food commissioner, tho
cream producors and the operators of
creameries arc all pleased with the re
sults of ono month'8 trial of tho new
system of grading cream. Commis
sioner Harman estimates that the new
method will mean a gain of $1,000,000
a year to tho cream producers. Tho
new method haB been tried without a
change of prices for cream. But bo
ginning about the middle of Septem
ber it will bo enforced with a change
In prices. Under Instructions from the
food commissioner, and with tho con
sent of the creamery operators, cream
was graded No. 1 and No. 2. The third
grade was condemned and not sold for
butter making purposes. Mr. Harman
figures that under the old method of
selling cream the producer who took
sanitary care of his dairy and his
product was getting no more for his
product than the man who was not so
considerate for the consumers. All
grades wero mixed together and bo the
creameries could not make a best
grade butter.
Increased State Valuation.
As a result of tho equalization of
land values In nlno counties tho state
board of assessment has slightly in
creased tho total assessed valuation of
the state. Tho total this year Is ?472,
203,035, an Increase of $1,572,621 ovec
last year. Tho state levy is the samo
as last year, 7.80 mils on the dollar
valuation. This Is as high as the law
permits to bo levied unless tho Sheldon
Jaw was resorted to. That law permits
an extra levy of ono mUl for the re
demption of outstanding state war
rants. At present the amount of war
rant 8 outstanding is about $300,000.
The state board has decided not to
ual:o a levy under the Sheldon law.
Felix J. McShanc, Jr., Bheriff of
Douglas county, has filed a motion for

invalid that portion of the law provid
ing for the feeding of prisoners in
Douglas county under a contract to
the lowest fJlddcr. Recently the court

Sheriffs not only to receive the regu

CANADA'S HUGE GRAIN BINS
Port Arthur Paper Is Peeved at tht
Mention of Kansas City Elevators.
From the Port Arthur (Canada) BrenlDg Chronic!
Kansas City galna tho attention of
the Now York Evening Post and is
given five inches of space In that ad
mirable newspaper by reason of in
creasing the capacity of a grain ele
vator there. The Evening Post Bays:
"When the additions and alterations
to its hugo grain elevator at Kansas
City now under way aro completed the
Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain rail
road will havo ono of tho largest
plants of Its kind In tho world."
Tho present capacity of tho Kansas
City product ie ono million bushels.
When it gains its promised stature
and becomes "ono of tho largest in
tho world" it will havo a capacity of
2,133,000 bushels.
At the mention of grain elevators
tho twin ports at the head of tho lakes
prick up their ears and tako notlco.
Tho nnmo of LloydGeorgo nt a Tory
garden party, or of President Wilson
nt a bankers' convention catches at
tention no quicker than tho word "ele
vator" In tho hearing of a Port Arthur
Fort Wllllnm mnn. Toronto prides
Itself on its churches; Pittsburgh
specializes on millionaires; Chicago
has Its pork and Boston Its pork and
beanB as for us, wo rise to fame on
tho bins of our elevators, and ho who
Bays "ono of tho largest" about any
old two-million-buBhel outfit in Mis
souri must withdraw tho statement or
name tho placo and weapons.
If tho Evening Post hud eald "ono
of tho largest in Missouri," or in tho
general but expressivo American
phraso had said "somo clovator," we
wouldn't havo minded it so much, but
when it describes this otunted Mis
souri receptacle as "ono of tho largest
grain elevators In tho world" then it
Is tlmo to kick. Why, two-million-bushel
elevators aro bo common here
abouts that the secretary of tho board
of trado docs not point them out to
distinguished visitors. Nothing could
ehow clearer than that what wo think
of two-million-bushel elevators.
When wo havo pointed to tho 9,B00,
000-bushel C. N. R. elovator and the
7,800,000-bushol C. P. R. elovator and
the 6.500,000-bushel G. T. P. elevatqr;
then to the 3,500,000-bushel Dominion
Government elevator which is only
the first unit of what is to be a 30-mlllion-bushol
plnnt, by that time the
air Is so full of millions that the
listener would bo annoyed if wo both
ered him with mention of a mere two-milllon-buBhel
affair. So wo Just lump
the balance together and describe the
grand total of 45-mIUIon-bushel capac
