It has been said that every great
man who was an artist was gifted to
some extent with feminine character

was necessary for Mm to have a por

not vouch-safed to the average male.
It has also been remarked that many '
talented women were temperamental

Perhaps out of the welter of unrest
and strife, of searching and experi
mentation, will emorge the discovery
that there is a peculiar and dis
tinctive field for men and women re
spectively ;.. that while men can cre
ate, women are nneded to inspire; that
while mon can invent, without women
inventions would be sterile devices;
that genius if more frequently be
atowed upon men, is because women
are in demand for maintaining life's
equilibrium.

upon the drug producer to- furnish
something which he has not got and
furnish it in large quantities, he
rises nobly to the emergency and rills

by an analytical chemist, but what is
to be done? ..Millions yearn for them

from'' those old fashioned ailments
known as thie "hypos" or the "vapors"
or the "Megrims" which existed prin
cipally in the patient's imaginations,
used to invent placebos in the form
of bread pills and thus effect wonder

SOME TIME AGO,
We Told You
Spokane, Waah., . May 10. Three
hundred Inland Empire farmers who
met in Spokane last Saturday decided
almost unanimously in favor of dis
carding sacks for the bulk handling
of grain.
Farmers and warehousemen who
have been awaiting the decision of
this convention will be making
changes in their farm storage facili
ties and warehouses in the next $0
days. -x
The essence of tho meeting wad Sthe
reaching of the conclusion that bulk
handling effects a net saving of 2:174
cents per bushel. The total cost, per
bushel of handling wheat in sacks was
found to be 26 8-4 cents, in bulk 21 1-2
cents per bushel. Subtracting three
oenba for return of sacks the net sav
ing is found to be 2 1-4 cents.
An executive committee represent
ing the various counties that sent del.
egates to the meeting made the fql-f
owing report: . ,,
"We believe that a successful sys
tem of handling asrain in bulk de
pends upon the individual farmer pro-,!
vmiug ma wn storage on ine iaxra;
either by bins, granaries or farm ele
vators, where grain may be held un
til sold. It has been fully demon
strated that the nresent flat ware
houses can .be successfully adapted,
at comparatively small expense, to
handling grain in bulk. Full assur-(
ance has been given by the railway
officials and terminal warehouses that
they will meet farmers and interior
warehousemen in arranging for the
lull handling of grain in bulk. ,
"In answer to the argument that
grain must be sacked for exporting
from the Pacific Coast, authentic re
ports show thht less than 25 per cent
oi tne grain irom tne Northwest is
exported annually, and the Panama
canal has removed the necessity of
sacking the preatar part of the small
percentage of the crop that is export
ed. The grain prices in the world's
market are quoted on a bulk basis,
therefore there will be no difference
in the price of bulk Brain or sarkeri
grain when the bulk system prevails
throughout this territory.
jsmce it is practically the unan
imous opinion of the oOO grain erow-
ers at this convention that a change
should be made in the Inland Empire
from sacked grain to bulk grain, we
urge the necessity of immediate ac
tion by the individual farmer and the
interior warehouse companies, to pro
vide the necessarv eciuinment to han
dle the 1910 crop in bulk. United ac
tion on tna part of the farmers is es
sential to the success of hulk han
dling of grain."
