CLEAN AND REUSE PARAFFIN.

Washington, D. C„ July 9—Paraffin that has become unclean through usage in canning, may be cleaned and reused. Don't throw it away because dirt and trash have become mixed with it. Many times paraffin can be cleaned with a brush in cold water. If this does not remove all the dirt, says a specialist of the United States department of agriculture, heat the paraffin to boiling and strain it through two or three thicknesses of ■cheesecloth placed over a funnel. Or a thin layer of absorbent cotton over one thickness of cheesecloth may be used as the strainer. One straining should be sufficient ordinarily, but if the paraflin still is unclean heat and ptrain again. Any paraffin lodging in the strainer may be recovered by heating the cloth and pouring off the hot liquid to another strainer. o RAN INTO DITCH. A Ford car. the owner's name unknown. ran into the ditch near the St. John's church, just north of this city, this afternoon at one o’clock, injuring one of the four occupants, and damaging the car to a considerable extent.

The occupant who was injured suffered injuries about the legs and hips, which, however, are not serious and the injured man was treated by Dr. Smith of this city. The name of the driver, the owner of the car. and the cause of the accident, could not be ascertained, but it is thought that the car was from Fort Wayne. Bill McQuay, who made a business trip to Angola this morning. was returning home with a new car. stopped at the scene of the accident and helped get the car out of the ditch and straightened it up in the. road and then the ear came to Decatur on its own power to be repaired at the Kalver-Noble garage.

GRADING WHEAT UNDEH THE U. 8. STANDARDS. The official grain standards of the United States for wheat were fixed, established, promulgated and published on March 31 by the secretary of agriculture, under the authority given in the grand standards act. This act of congress establishes wheat grades for the entire United Htates, from the farm to the export terminal. Effective on Indiana wheat July 1, 1917. Number Two red winter wheat "shall be cool and sweet, contain not more than thirteen per cent of moisture. shall test not less than fifty-nine pounds per bushel, contain not more than four per cent of damaged kernels, and not more than one per cent of foreign matter." Number Three red winter wheat “shall be cool and sweet, contain not more than fourteen per cent moisture, shall have a test weight of at least fifty-seven pounds, shall contain not more than seven per cent of damaged kernels, and not more than two per cent of foreign matter. Number Four red winter wheat “shall be cool and sweet, contain not more than fourteen per cent moisture. shall have a test weight of at least fifty-five pounds. Shall contain not more than ten per cent damaged kernels, not more than one per cent heat damage, and not more than four per cent foreign matter. Number Five red winter wheat may be musty or sour, contain not more than fifteen per cent of moisture, test not less than 53 pounds per bushel. May contain not more than fifteen per cent damaged kernels. not more than three per cent heat damage and not more than six per cent foreign material. For a full copy of the official standards write to the secretary of agriculture, Washington, D. C., or to your congressman. It will be seen that the recpiirements of grading are a trifle more strict. Dirty wheat, or wheat that is even more slightly damp, can not grade either number two or three in any market, it rests primarily with the farmer to see that the grain is threshed dry. and is properly cleaned. Dockage rules tor dirty wheat are very explicit. The only time to get rye out of wheat thoroughly is while the grain is standing. More than one per cent of rye prevents any wheat grading number two. One-tenth of one per cent makes it-unfit for seed. Cockle is still worse, and must be removed, if at all. before harvest.
