From Right to Left Ar Moisture Tester, Scales, Sieves, and Weight-Per-Bushel Apparatus. Ifrepared by the United Statu Depart ment of Agriculture.) There muy be no such thing as a Klxth sense, hut In many lines of work there are certain kinds of knowledge tlint uppeiir renuirkulile lo others who ' have different occupations. For Instance, there Is the art of , uiM-nlng mtfui by llsti'iiliiK to the lock tumblers passing each other; the nlill4 Ity to !iiess within a few pmimls of the weight of limn or bensti mid, of course, the fellows who cun "spot" an nutoniolille in the distance mill tell you Its name and model. No less remarkable thnn some of these tilings Is the way In which many a country grain buyer can tell hie oua toiner'H ten m of horses as far as he can see them. Not only that, but he learns to know his customer's grain at the In-ginning of each crop season and does nut need to run tests on every loud hauled. A test of the first load or two of a farmer's crop Is usually enough to form a correct Idea of the niuillty and condition of that farm er's grain. Uf course, every loud is closely examined to see If It Is uni form with previous loads. With all this auperknowlcdge, how ever, the country gruin buyer often overlooks the need for a better knowl edge of federal grain gnules, accord lug to the bureau of markets, anil this Is hii lil to explain certain criticism leveled at federal grain grades as ap plied ut country points. Wherever federal grades are used by country buyers who understand how to apply them, reports show that such country buyers are holding their trade and that the fanners seem better satisfied thnn to have a buyer make a price without any definite Htandard bb a basis. When No. 1 Is Not No. 1. I'nless federal grades are applied by country buyers somewhere along the way to the consumer there la sure to he dissatisfaction. Some buyers are afraid to buy on grades, and so start a lot of trouble for themselves and nl hers from whom they buy their grain. Some line elevators complain that they lose on wheat bought In the coun try by the elevator, managers. The wheat Is often graded lower at the terminal market than the grade given to the fanner by the buyer. Checking Up the Grader, It Is a mistake for the fanner to In sist that his wheat shall be graded No. 1 In cases where the grain Is not entitled to that grade. The country buyer who overgrades In order to please his customers, and then under weighs or assesses more dwkuge than justified, is unfair both to the farmer and to the company for whom he Is buying. Then, too, It Is a mistake for the country buyer not to grade wheat No. 1 when It Is of a No. 1 grade. Nowadays the fanner can check this grading, for he can send a representa tive sample to any licensed Inspector, and receive an official sample certifi cate. Iluyers who know how to apply fed eral grades may easily test the first load a fanner brings In, and keep the sample as a type sample of that farm er's wheat or corn or oats, while the remaining loads are marketed. It Is not unusual In some localities for a farmer to bring a sample of his wheat to the buyer nn after thrashing, and offer to sell his crop on the basts of a price made on the sample, with the understanding that the wheat when hauled shall be equal to the sample. That gives the buyer plenty of time to apply all the tests necessary to es. tnbllsh accurately the correct grade of the gruln. Voters Have Opportunity To Help State Blind "Close your eyes and Imagine you w ill never be uble to see again. Then Imagine yourself destitute and In need of food and clothing. You then may renllze what It means to be blind and why the blind In Oregon j are asking the voters of the state to approve liiu 0111 iil uie cmua uiuiiiuuj Muy 21st providing for the establish ment of a state institution where the blind may be taught trades and arts which will enable them to become self-supporting." The foregoing Is a stutement of J. F. Myers, leader of the committee of blind people who with committees and organizations all over the Btate are campaigning for the measure. Mr. Myers says the need of relief to the blind Is exceedingly uicent, con ditions having grown much worse in the lust few years on account of the wur. Provision, lie says, either must he made to enable the blind to be come self-supporting or there must be a much more extensive demand for qhnrity. The blind, ho says, much prefer the former course". The hill aH submitted to the voters by the Legislature has been endorsed by organizations throughout the state and active, campaigns are being waged by these organizations, feeling that, such an Institution should have been established years ago. The measure calls for a levy of one-sixth of one mill next year to establish tho institution and one-twenty-fifth of one mill each year thereafter for its maintenance. At the blind headquarters In Portland endorsements are being received from everywhere in the stato from grang es, commercial and business Institu tions, schools, churches, church or ganizations, labor unions, etc. The measure has hoen given tho numbers 316 X Yes nnd 317 X No on the bal lot. The committees are urging a Yes vnto on tho measure. runs about half the number of miles as tho light car on a gallon of gaso line. "Repair charges, another import ant Item, are usually much less for a lighter car. "In connection with the Cleveland Six, the expense of maintenance and Upkeep has been reduced to a min imum, w hich is the result of perfec tion in design and owing to the fact that the Cleveland only weighs 2600 lbs., with gasoline and water tanks filled and extra tire, ready for the road."

And the product depends pn, the policy adopted. " Every man who Has become a quainted with Brunswick Tires knows that Brunswick standards are again evident This famous con cern noted as a leader in every line it entered since 1845 has pnee more proved that its policy is right A perfect tire is simply a matter of knowledge and standards and skilL No secrets nor patents pre vent making an ideal tire. But standards come first For In tire making there is vast room for skimping, for subtle economies, for hidden shortcomings. Makers with out the highest standards don't build high-grade tires. The Brunswick organization of tire makers includes a brilliant staff of technical experts. Not a man among them Has spent less than 20 years in handling rubber. Each is a master of hid craft And the new ideas they bring to the attention of Brunswick direc tors receive sincere consideration. Every proved betterment is adopted unanimously. The Brunswick Tire is a combi nation of acknowledged features plus Brunswick standards of manu facture. The result is a super-tare, "the like of which you have never known be fore. The kind of a tire you will gladly join in welcoming. Yet Brunswicks cost no more than like-type tires. Try ONE BrunswicK. We prom ise a surprise.
