Potato Prices.

In a report on the potato expert
ments carried on at the various sta
tions of the college of agriculture, J.
G. Milward, instructor in horticulture,
says: "The yield of potatoes is esti-
mated at about a tWO-thirds crop.
Harvest was earlier than usual,
partly because of the uneasiness
caused by the heavy freeze in the fall
of 1906. Those who marketed their
crop early in the season realized
about 40 cents bushel. Prices grad
ually rose during the harvest season
until good white stock brought as
much as 81 cents a bushel. Regard
less of the existing good prices,
however, many growers are storing
potatoes, believing that the price will
reach 70 cents before Christmas.
Notwithstanding this probable in
crease, it is generally considered safe
to dispose of potatoes right off the
field when the market offers so cents,
as the price must go considerably
higher to pay for the extra labor in
handling the crop from cellars sto

Quinsy Sore Throat,

The following mixture will generally
quickly bring relief in case of a quinsy
sore throat: Thirty grains of chloride
Of potash, three drains of tincture
chloride of iron, four drains of glycer-

one teaspoonful every hour until re-

President Hill of the Great Northern
Railroad and the State of Washington
on one side and President Hartman
and the State Of California on The
other. to secure a permanent military
camp for the annual maneuvers Of the
regular army and National Guardsmen
on the Pacific Coast. Hartman is
moving urgently for the selection OF
Atascadero. while Hill is working hard
for the choosing of American Lake
where the army maneuvers were held
last year A bill will be introduced in
Congress shortly for the purpose either
of purchasing camp grounds on this
coast or appropriating $1,000,000 for
four military maneuvers this fall on

AS it is difficult to rent grounds suf-
ficiently large to hold the maneuverS,

get Congress to buy a permanent site.
California is interested in securing the
permanent site. and as AtaScadeFo,

in four different churches. The cler-
gymen are well known Eastern men
selected by the general board of mis-
sions of the Episcopal church. This

man will be Rev. Charles Craig Stewart
of Evanston, ILL.,, and in Trinity Church,
