Interests. In America, this feeling is more marked than in older countries because her Individual initiative has been given greater freedom. The best public opinion of today, however, is demanding that closer governmental supervision be given business activities, not in wav of hostile repression tnit rather of helpful organization and of friendly supervision.

All thoughtful men will quickly agree that legislation which is to apply to any line of commerce should be carefully considered in full and free conferonce with those whose business Is to be affected by It. The extension of the tsrms of any statute so as to include scope which was not originally intended by the framers of the law has rarely given beneficial results

was

The legislative proposals contained in the bill may be roughly divided Into three parts. The preparation and publication of uniform standards of quality and condition of grain by the national government the co-ordination of all existing systems for grain inspection with the newly created federal system, and the establishment ox a general supervision by the federal government over all grain moving In Interstate and foreign commerce for the detection and publication of all fraudulent practices.

The first proposal Is to authorise and direct the secretary of agriculture to Investigate the handling, grading and transportation of grain and to fix and establish standards of quality and condition for corn, (maize) wheat, rye, oats, barley, flaxseed and such other grains as In his Judgment the usages of the trade may warrant. There Is no opposition to this proposal so far as it has come to my knowledge. It Is universally conceded that we ought to have uniform standards In the grain trade and ihat we can secure them only through the action of the federal government.

The bill seeks to control only the sale of grain when made or offered by grade. The liberty to buy and sell by sample or by type Is left unabridged sales may also be negotiated under any name or designation which Is not false or misleading and which name or designation in whole or In pert does not include the terms of any official grain standard. No grain can legally be sold by grade except the grade be one of the official grades designated by the secretary of agriculture, and the grain actually conforms to the requirement of the-grade specified. We must agree that these are Ideal conditions—that the seller must deliver exactlv that whfch he contracts to deliver, and that the buyer will thus be Kiven that which he has purchased. The secretary of agriculture is given broad administrative powers to enforce these ideal oonditions and thus secure their general adoption.

The bill does not vest the federal government with the power to make primarv inspection of grain or to appoint grain inspectors. It seeks to establish practical co-operation between state anrl nation.

We mav sum up the provisions of the bill s"o far as they relate to the ordinarv routine of sale .and delivery in interstate commerce. The secretary of agriculture Is authorized to fix uniform standards for all commercial grains, which standards must be used in all trading in grain where the sales are made by grade. Grain may be sold bv sample or by type without reference to the terms or the bill. Sales may be made by name or designation if such name or designation is not false or misleading and which name or designation does not include In whole or in part the terms of any official grain standard. All grain Inspectors are appointed by local authority after such persons have passed a suooesaful examination before the secretary of agriculture. Provision is made whereby grain can be shipped from a point where no lioensed inspector is stationed to a point or through a point where Buch lioensed inspector is stationed, subject to Inspection at such points. All grain which Is sold br grade must be sold under one of the official grades, and the grain mast con-

FOR GRAIN ACT

Continued From Pago One.

a^d

I believe that I am on safe grounds when I assert that in the instance under consideration, the results have been mischievous If not actually pernicious to the legitimate grain trade.

There is a well organized and intelligently directed movement having for its purpose the demand that the national government shall take .cognisance of the grain trade. It is desired that uniform standards of quality and condition for the principal commercial strains shall be established and declared and their integrity be guaranteed fry general supervision of our interstate and foreign grain commerce. This agitation has led to extended hearings by commitetes of Dotn houses of congress, the preparation or many bills dealing with this subject and the passage in the house during the late session by practically a unanimous vote of house bill No. known as the Moss bill. Later this bill

favorably reported to the sen

ate and its passage was prevented only by the lateness of the session. I can confidently predict that the bill which I have the honor to have Introduced in congress will be made the

frulg of Guch legislation. I feel, tn©r6fore, that an an&iysis of to© proposala contained in the bill will, be more profitable At this moment tMjn any argument which I might be able to present in support of the bill.

APPLY SAGE TEA IF HAIR IS GRAY

Grandma Used Sage Tea and Sulphur to Darken Her Hair and Nobody Knew.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to Its natoral color dates back to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and abundant. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect.

But brewing at home Is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulhpur Compound," you will get this famous old recipe which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry, feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair.

A well-known down town druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell It has been applied. Tou simply dampen a spooge or soft brush with It and draw this through your hair, talcing one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two it becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and abundant.

form to the requirements of the grade under which it is sold. All certificates, invoices, contracts of sales and agreements to sell, relating to the shipment or delivery for shipment in Interstate or foreign commerce, must refer to the grain as being one of the official grades as fixed by the secretary of agriculture.

APPEALS—After grain has entered Intersate or foreign commerce, or has been offered for such shipment, and the grain shall have been inspected, any dispute as to the fact that the grain actually conforms to the standard of the grade specified In the contract of sale may be referred to the secretary of agriculture for settlement by either party in interest. This provision of the bill takes away from state authority all appellate power In the grain Inspection service In interstate commerce and lodges that jurisdiction with the secretary of agriculture. The findings of the secretary as to the grade is made prima facie evidence in any United States court of the time grade of the grain at the time and place specified by the secretary in His findings. No objection has appeared prominently to this grant of power to the secretary, but a sharp difference of opinion exists as to the manner In which this right to appeal should be exercised. This Is one of those apparently irreconcilable differences which grow out of the natural conflict of interest between buyer and seller. The position of the seller Is, that the right of appeal should be limited to the time and place of delivery or offer of delivery the buyer prefers to prolong his right of appeal to Include the moment when he receives his grain at the point of final destination. The bill seeks to harmonize this natural difference In interest by providing that the appeal must be taken before the grain leaves the place where the inspection appealed from was made and before the identity of the grain is lost. As grain may be shipped to any point where a licensed Inspector Is stationed, subject to Inspection at that points, It follows that, by contract. It is possible for any buyer of grain to designate the point where he may wish to receive the grain. The appeal can thus be taken at the point where he has elected to receive his grain. The general principle recognised by the Dill is that the owner of the grain must accept all haaard as to the grain going out of condition. This risk is usually calculated by the seller In naming price and terms. This Is the best business procedure and It was accepted In framing the bill.

It was my hope and ambition to present a bill under the operations of which any grain power In the United States could offer his product with well founded confidence that he would receive the ruling market quotation for the particular quality which he had aotually produced and. likewise, that any buyer of grain could plaoe his order for any particular quality obtain-

able in the markets with reasonable assurance that he would receive that quality for which he had contracted. If tnese ends were accomplished, then it would be impossible for the present practices which I am convinced do obtain at times in certain markets where wheat is purchased as a low grade and the identical wheat resold as of a

high

er grade. Such profits are not legitimate such

Practices

are not honest.

The government of the United States owes it to her citizens to promote honesty in commercial channels and to encourage legitimate commercial methods by fearlessly searching out fraudulent transactions and exposing them and their authors before the world.

I do not have special reference to the practice of recleaning, drying and other like operations, whereby the actual condition of the grain is improved and, hence its rightful commercial grade has been raised. Such operations may be entirely legitimate and of great economic Importance. This fact was fully established during the present abnormal season. There is here, as in many other details of actual commercial transaction, a twilight zone, in which honesty can be merged into dishonesty, where reputable practices may dg ellsplaced by disreputable ones. The grain trade, through the operations of this bill, will be permitted to offer their grains for sale at the actual grade which they bear at the moment of delivorv and will receive quittance for all time from imputations and direct charges of questionable manipulation to the disadvantage of both the producer and the ultimate consumer.

The provisions of this bill have been subjected to the most crucial tests of criticism. I do not present it with the extravagant claims that it Is a perfect bill- but I do claim that it has received the most universal support of any bill on this subject which has ever been presented to congress. There is not a critic of the bill which will not admit that it will better existing conditions and will remove most of the evils which are known to exist at the present time In the grain trade. It is a distinct step forward in the path which every student wishes to travel. It may not be exactly In all Its details as vou wish to frame it. That may be satel of every important measure. Legislation. as is well known, is a matter of compromise, and good legislation is usually a matter of honest compromise. This bill was framed in the open. The committee hearings were extended and patient. No man can truthfully say that he was not accorded a hearing and I believe that no man will say that he was not accorded a courteous and patient hearing.

Legislation will be accomplished at the coming session of congress. It is possible to secure the enactment of this bill without substantial change If the grain trade will continue to give it undivided support. It is my intention to reintroduce it in its present form the first day of the next session of congress and to press for an oarly vote. So far as my present conviction goes, I shall favor no substantial chance In its text. I deeply appreciate the generous support which the officers and membership of your association has given me In my efforts to perfect this bill and to secure its approval by congress. I also wish to express my deep sense of obligation for the honor which the opportunity to make this address conveys.

MACHINISTS GO ON STRIKE.

Employes At Cleveland Plant Demand Eight-Hour Day. CLEVELAND, O-, Oct. 12.—The long predicted strike of machinists at the plant of the Warner & Swazey Co, was a fact today. Three hundred pickets surrounded the factory when work started this morning. The plant was still running today and officers claimed It would continue to operate. Union leaders assert the strike was a suocess. The men are contending for the eight hour day. The strike is a sequel to that at the Cleveland Automatic Machine Co, shell making plant, a week ago, when the men won their eight hour day demand but did not gain all other points'. The Warner & Swazey Co. do not manufacture war munitions.

TODAY'S BEAUTY SUGGESTIONS

Face powder simply covers up an unattractive complexion and leaves no lasting benefits. Those who hawe tried a simple spurmax face lotion find it much better, as it removes skin dlsooloratlons, such as freckles and tan, and makes the skin smooth, white and velvety. This lotion is made by dissolving four ounces of spurmajr in one-half pint hot water, then adding two teaspoonfuls glycerin. This complexion beautlfler does not rub off or show like powder, and gives a more refined appearance. It removes both shinlness and sallowness, rapidly giving the skin a permanent healthy, youthful appearance.

An especially fine shampoo for this weather can be had at trifling expense by dissolving a teaspoonful of canthrox In a cup of hot water. Pour slowly on scalp and massage briskly. This creates a soothing, cooling lather that dissolves and removes all dandruff, excesB oil and dirt. Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft and pliant, while the hair takes on a glossy richness of natural color, also a liufflness which makes it seem very much heavier than it is. After a canthrox shampoo arranging the hair is a pleasure.
