MAIN UcALclid WANT TEST ON WHEAT LOWERED

Hazelrigg Tells of Difficulty Caused By Government Percentage.

Rush Germans to Italy

CAMBRIDGE CITY. Ind., Oct. 4. J. S. Hazelrigg, president of the Indiana

Grain Dealers association, today gave praise to the work done by the Na

tional association at Buffalo at the

recent convention on many Important

matters and especially on the govern'

ment regulations on grades of wheat.

a subject of the utmost importance to

the shippers and farmers of Wayne county.

"Elevator men of "Wayne county, as well as elevator men of Indiana at

large, he said in part, "have been

contending that under the existing cli

matic conditions ot the middle west.

it was Impossible to meet the low moisture regulations exacted from them by

the government for No. 2 Boft red

winter wheat as raised here. Secretary Barnes, who heard the contention raised on behalf of the Indiana grain dealers by myself, promised to bring

the matter at issue before Director

Hoover." Test Is 13 Percent. "The government test is as low as 13 percent, moisture, and about 10 cars in 100 shipped answer the federal grades. The- Indiana Grain Dealers association want the test raised to 14 percent, and this request will be taken up by a governmental wheat committee. We have asked for right treatment, and this if granted will be a great help to the shipper, and a double help to the farmer. Wayne county farmers in particular will appreciate the efforts made on their behalf." ."Elevator men as a rule have no equipments for testing moisture and sieves. Supposing a farmer offered us a thousand bushels of wheat. We have to obey the rule on government grading. It would take us until the next day to test the wheat, a most unsatisfactory condition to the shipper and the farmer. By raising the test to 14 percent, moisture no risks are taken, for most grain, and can tell this requirement, a boon to the dealer as well as a double boon to the farmer. Speaks On Cleaning. Hazelrigg said In conclusion the imperative necessity for all grain dealers to reclean the grain so as to meet dockage requirements of the government. Buffalo citizens, he added, gave the delegates, some 1,100, with 500 women, the freedom of the city. They were given boat and harbor rides, car rides, a trip to Niagara Falls, and a dinner. Sir John Foster of Canada, was the speaker and gave a vivid de-

Coming down to Wayne county he stated that wheat was still coming in at the rate of from 1,000 to 1,500 bushels per day. But cars are slow, and shipping not active. The price paid for wheat is $2 and for oats 55 cents.

NEW .YORK. Oct. 4. President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University today formally turned over to the United States the portable Held hospital which Columbia University built and. equipped at a cost of $281,000. The flag raising and simple exercises at the Columbia oval, on the outskirts of the ' Bronx, also marked the opening of the hospital - to patients. Since July ; 18 lit has been officially known as United States General Hospital No. 1. Oct, 1 It was declared ready for patients. ' In the hollow square formed by khaki-clad regulars and hospital corps men around the flag pole were about 100 invited r guests men and women prominently allied with Columbia, or the medical profession. Two intensely interested; spectators were Daniel G.' Reld; financier, whose gift of $177,000 made " the hospital possible, and "Kitty, the servant of MaJ. W. H. Bishop," M.R.C., who, inspired by the major's interest in the project, gave $60 of her savings. Eager to Grasp Hands Dr. Butler in his " brief remarks referred to the donation of $177,000 as "the gift of a single Individual whose name I am not at liberty to mention," but the weltintentloned reticence of

Mr. Reld was not successful in concealing his authorship of the contribution which set the project well In motion. Before and after the cere

monies he was Bought out by many whose hearty handshakes revealed their appreciation of his big place on the program.

When Col. B. R. Schrlner, U. S. M.

C, had accepted the hospital for the War Department and the uniformed

men were marching away, the Columbia president himself reached for Mr.

Reid's hand and shook it vigorously, as camera and movie men, sensing the significance of the moment, twirled their cranks and snapped their cameras. - Dr. Butler in his remarks referred to the hospital as the "representation of American effectiveness. "It stands for one of the finest aspects of our American life, the university president told his hearers, "in the voluntary and generous co-operation of institution and individual with the government of the United States. It represents one aspect and important as it seems to us, a very small aspect of what the people are doing from Maine to the Gulf and from New York to California to help the army and the navy in the execution of their mighty project." Ultimate Capacity 1,000 Beds Col. Schreiner, commander ot the hospital and formerly commandant of army hospitals on the Mexican border, in replying for Secretary Baker, described his difficulties in searching for a properly equipped hospital location around New York City. Ellis Island had proved unavailable when Columbia offered its plant. Ideally located and designed to hold immediately 600

beds with quick extension to 1,000.

Already, the colonel said, nearly 500 hospital men and women had been sheltered there at one time while mobilizing for service in France.

For the present the hospital will care for patients from the many big

mobilization camps around New "York.

It will- be months before the local camp hospitals are able to handle all their own cases. Later the plant will become the great ( medical clearing house, where men returned from France will be sifted and sent to the institutions where specialized treatment will be given them. Hospitals for bone work, the insane and reconstruction cases are already planned. Invited Guests Inspect Unit Among the 150, invited guests who heard Dr. Butler and then inspected the hospital were MaJ.' J: B. Squier, MJ R. C, of the Burology department at

the College of Physicians and Surge

ons, who conceived the idea of the hospital; Dr. S. W. Lambert, dean of Physicians and Surgeons; Dr. F. W, Wood of the Crocker research laboratory, Columbia's foundation for ;the study of cancer; Mrs. Butler, wife of the president, who' organized , the woman's auxiliary to help raise funds; W. G. Osgood Field, a member of the executive committee which effected the project; Dr. A. V. S. Lambert,

Columbia trustees and the faculty members. After Mr. Reld, the heaviest contributors were Mr. and Mrs. Walter G. Ladd. who gave $25,000. When the buildings were thrown open for inspection the guests were with difficulty kept from losing themselves in the fifty-four buildings, which cover 190 acres. They found two kitchens complete in themselves with

huge portable stoves and mammoth dishwashing machines, laundries, storehouses and dormitories, semi-detached hospital wards and laboratories. MaJ. Bishop, chief surgeon at the hospital, describes the operating rooms as the equal of similar rooms In any $5,000,000 hospital.

Suffered Terribly But Did Not Wan to Submit to an Operation. Mrs. Mary K. Peroutka, R. F. D. No. L Box 4L Mllladore. Wise, is a firm believer In Fruitola and Traxo. She writes: T wish I could tell everybody how much Fruitola and Traxo has done for our family. Both my husband and I were cured of gall stones, and in such a short time and at such little cost, and Fruitola is so easy to take. Four years I suffered those terrible spells and at last the doctor said I had gall stones and advised an operation. I said if the doctors were in the house when I had one of those spells I might let them operate, but not otherwise. My daughter wrote to a lady who had

been cured of gall stones without an operation and who recommended Fruitola, I took only one bottle and have not been bothered since. My

husband had stomach trouble and he used Fruitola, too, with most satisfactory results." Fruitola and Traxo are compounded from the original Ed sail formulas at the Pinus laboratories in Monticello, Ills., and can be purchased In drug stores; a doctor's prescription is not necessary. Fruitola is a pure fruit oil that acts as an Intestinal lubricant and disintegrates the hardened particles that cause so much suffering, discharging the accumulated waste to the sufferer's intense relieft One dose is usually sufficient to indicate its efficacy. Traxo is a tonic-alterative that is most effective to rebuild and restore the weakened, run-down system. A, booklet of special interest to those who suffer with stomach trouble can be obtained by writing to the Pinus Laboratories, Monticello, Illinois.

FARMERS, NOTICE! This is an appeal to the farmers of Wayne county. Hundreds of bushels of apples are going to waste because farmers are unable to market them. Sooner than have the apples rot it would be better to sell them at a reasonable price, provided persons, desiring them, came for them. Fanners, having apples rotting or which will rot on their farms, and who want to sell them at a reasonable price are asked to send their names to the Palladium, so Richmond people may go into the country after them. Send your names at once. It's your patriotic duty.
