Four gold, six silver and four bronze medals awarded to farmers', of Wayne county for ex cellence in corn growinga record far excelling any previous one here, 'demonstrates the high agricultural rank of th county ;.'in Indiana. . ; , The five acre corn club contests are incen tive for farmers to study the cultivation of corn for the purpose of increasing the yield per acre. In each case the successful winners adapted methods best suited in their judgment to pro duce maximum results. Experiments of this kind are similar to those which a scientist carries on" his laboratory to discover new methods and reasons for successes or failures. The modern farmer applies on his own soil the theories that are developed in schools, adapting them to meet local conditions. In this respect, as well as in the attention which he pays to the busiest details of his indus try, the farmer of today is both an aggressive and an astute member of the community. He leaves nothing to chance and guess work, but seeks for facts, and guided by the data of his own experience and those of the experiment sta tion, conducts his enterprise on a high plane. : Wayne county , may well feel proud that so many medals have been awarded to her farmers by the Indiana Corrr Growers' association. " It shows that the farming community is striving with keen enthusiasm to increase the productive output of our fields. The description of the methods used by the winners, as set out a few days ago, was received by farmers with genuine interest. It was a contributiqn to the successful methods of the raising of corn in Wayne county. This new spirit is reflected also in the inter est which the boys and girls on the farm are taking in the industry. The pig clubs which have been formed in the county enlist the interest of the young men and women, many of whom later will be land owners themselves. They are early learning valuable lessons in the successful man agement of farms.

HASKIN WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 13 America's position in world trade to day is largely due to an organization which in Washington i3 becoming fa miliarly known as "Klein's Youns Men." Its official name is the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce of the department of commerce. The di rector of this organization is Julius Klein; hence its nicimame. The present bureau of foreign ani domestic commerce was an outgrowta of the old bureau of statistics, whiai in turn was one of the oldest of all governmental bureaus in Washington. The government begun to collect and! publish its statistics of foreign trade and navigation as early as 1790 Throughout almost the whole of tho nineteenth century 'bis work was en trusted to the bureau of " statistics, which was then an adjunct of the treasury department. In 1903 the de partment of commerce and labor was created, and the bureau of at atistics was transferred to the new ministry. In 1912 it was joined to the bureau of manufactures, and the coalition was called the bureau of foreign and do mestic commerce. The gathering of trade statistics continued to be the chief function of the bureau, but gradually it has. been taking on new duties calculated to stimulate American foreign trade. With the outbreak of the European war in 1914 the eyes of American pro ducers turned more seriously toward foreign commerce. The government established the office of commercial attache at our principal embassies and legations abroad. These attaches were appointees of the department of commerce, and they were ' directed from the fin-t by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. Still, until the tim3 Herbert Hoover become secretary of commerce, now al most two years ago, the bureau ha3 contented itself with ' the collection of trade information. This was use ful to the commerce of the United States, and it .warranted the expense of colection, but nevertheless it was not of much value to the small manu facturer. He could not afford to main tain the export organization that ws necessary to enable him to take ad vantage of the opportunities whicu the Government laid before him. What he needed was actual experl; help that not only brought him and the foreign business together but en abled him to land it. Almost Considered New Institution. Mr. Hoover saw in the original charter of the department of com merce the authority to build that de partment into an acrual foreign-trade- getting body. The logical bureau to handle such a task was the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, and to this bureau the task was entrusted. The results of two ye-ctrs of effort have so transformed this bureau that it has become virtually a new government institution. Certainly it is one of the most outstanding administrative de velopments in Washington since Presi dent Harding . took office. For one thing, in size it is rapidly eclipsing all other branches of the de partment or commerce. Two years ago the bureau occupied only a suite of offices in the twelve-story com- merce building in Washington. To day it fills almost the entire building. It is its spirit and character, however, which are most changed. The old bu reau collected and published its sta tistics in a scholarly and unhurried way, but the" new one embodies pep, go-getter-ness, and aii the other qualil ties of modern American business. To bring about the transformation Secretary Hoover toadied out to Buenos Aires and took, therefrom the American s commercial attache, Julius Klein, and installed him as chief of the bureau. Although Mr. Klein is a Ph. D. from HaTva-d, a former stu dent in foreign universities and a former assistant p-icfessor at Har vard, he is no patriarch having yet to celebrate his 37the birthday. He is au expert in Latin-American economics. As he has built up the bureau he has put in men of his own type. At present the bureau consists cf two main parts: the foreign ser vice commercial atl aches and trade commissioners in 28 principal trade centers and domestic, with district and co-operative offices of the bureaus in most of the chief American cities. These divisions put together form the information-gathering and distribution service. But it is one thing to gather the necessary information and put it at the disposal of American business, and quite another thing to get business to take advantage of the information. And here it is where the chief in novation of the present administra tion of the bureau ernes in. War Experience Is Valuable. The war organization of the govern ment had shown the way.

Com mittees and sections both worked to gether, and in this way all of Ameri can industry was brought under a single control. , In exactly the same way . our foreign trade is now being guided. Dr. Klein has created within his bureau commodity divisions, each one con cerned with the tradi? in one particu lar commodity, More than 20 of thes.? divisions have already been created, and new ones are constantly being or ganized.

They ar? assisted by several technical divisions among which should be noted the new ly created commercial laws division. With 40 nations changing .their im port tariffs this year, and with a be wildering and constantly shifting mul titude of other trde regulations throughout the earth, it is highly im portant that the latest information of this sort be on hand in Washingtqn for the beef it of exporters. Such in formation the commercial laws divi sion obtains. Those called in to head the brandi es and divisions of this organization are for the most part keen, energetic young business men. most of whom have made reputations in their own lines and who take their government jobs-at a sacrifice. They are bringing a new atmosphere into the depart mental offices. The average Ameri can business man, when he has to ap proach of the government, comes in. a suspicious and even hostile attitud3. But when he steps into the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce he instantly feels at home. There they speak the language of his tribe, and he appreciates it. It is largely for this reason that the bureau is getting results. For Colds, Grip or Influenza and as a Preventive, take Laxative, BROMO QUININE Tablets. The gen-" uine bears the signature of E. W.
