Clerk = GRAIN CORPORATION READY TO BUY WHEAT Will Tarry Surplus Grain I mil Need ed by tha .Mills <•■■ Diverted Kitten here The grain corporation of the U. S. food administration began buying wheal in the Northwest Monday, The announcement made Saturday by m H. Houser, second vice president of th" corporation and agent in the Pa cific Northwest of the food admanis t rat ion, has been awaited with in terest by farmers and dealers throughout this section, says a Port land paper. Up to this time the flour millers had not been getting enough wheat to supply their wants, but they have all in hand now. under the govern ment's 30-day regulation, that they can carry, and the grain corporation will take over the surplus offerings by farmers. The wheat will be car ried by the corporation until the mill ers need it. or will be diverted else where as the sit nation requires. Farmers are becoming better ac quainted with the workings of the grain law and are now selling freely at nearly all points in the Northwest. There is still some confusion, how ever, over th*' matter of federal grades and discounts, but the grow ers are expected to become posted on these matters soon. To clear up any misunderstanding that may exist, .Mr. Houser has pre pared the following statement of grades and prices: "The coast basic price of $2.05 a bushel has been established, in ac cordance with which the following is a schedule of values of the various varieties, on a basis of No. 1 grain: Dark hard winter $2.09 Hard winter basic 2.05 Red winter basic 2.05 Yellow hard winter 2.01 Soil red winter 2.0."> Dark northern spring 2.09 Northern spring basic 2.03 Red spring 2.03 Humpback t 1.95 Amber Durum 2.09 Red Walla 1.98 Red Durum 1.98 Hard winter basic 2.0." Soft white 2.03 White club 2.01 "No. 2 grade. c less; No. 3 grade, Be less. Mixed wheat, also No. 4 wheat, No. 5 wheat, sample wheat and lower grades will be handled by sample on merits and bought accord ingly. These prices are bulk.

"Payment— Payment will be made only against warehouse receipts for wheat delivered in approved public ami private terminal warehouses or elevators. "The food administration grain corporation will not solicit consign ments. Will not pay drafts or ad vance;.. "Direct consignments to grain cor poration will not be encouraged and a charge of one per cent will be mad" for handling such direct consign ments. "It is the purpose and intent of the food administration to interfere as little as possihle with the buying, shipping and forwarding of grain, as this would necessitate an army of employes, leaving this work as much a- possible to the* warehouse man and elevator man. dealer ami com mission merchant. "The food administration will en deavor to retain sufficient stocks at advantageous points having in mind the milling facilities and require ments."

C. —Under the authority <>: the federal law known as the Standard Container Act, the Secretary <>, Agriculture has just issued the regulations fixing the tol erances which will govern in the ad ministration of thai act. The act. goes Into effect on November 1, 1917; it prescribes three standard sizes in!- "Climax" baskets for grapes and other fruits and vegetables—two quarts four quarts and 12 quarts— and fixes the dimensions for each; it establishes Hi" dry half pint, dry pint, dry quart and multiples of the dry quart as standards for contain ers for small fruits, berries, and vegetables, and fixes their capacity in cubic Inches. On and after No vember I'-'i^ it is unlawful to manufacture or sell for shipment or to ship in Interstate commerce, eith er empty or filled, baskets or con tainers that do not conform to the requirements set forth in the law. Containers which are not up to the standards can not be used in inter state commerce even though they are marked "short package." Since ,i good deal of the harvest ing and marketing season is still ahead before the law goes into ef fect, the department suggests that, manufacturers adopt the standards at once, and that stocks of packages which can not be used after Novem leer 1 should be fully utilized before thai date. Package manufacturers and dealers are invited, if they de sire to have their packages examined and tested, to ship them to the Bu reau of Markets, United States De partment of Agriculture.

It may turn Into backache, rheumatic aches, aery joints. Or other serious sickness that comes from weak kidneys. Colds are elm- to congestion. Congestion makes the kidneys overwork to filter the blood. Colds often leave the kidneys weak. First break the cold; Then use* Doan's Kidney Pills to avert the kidney dangers. Let this Pullman resident tell you about them. Mrs. VV. Swain, 307 W. Main St.. says: "A cold, which settled in my kidneys, brought on an attack of kidney trouble three years ago. When sweeping or dusting, sharp pains caught me in the small of my back and nearly drove me frantic. I suffered from headaches and dizzy spells and felt, all tired out. I read about Doan's Kidney Pills and used five boxes. They gave me great relief." Price 60c. at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills —the same that Mrs. Swain l.ad. Foster-Milburn Co.. Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. FOR RENTSuite of housekeep ing rooms.
