Potatoes Are Quite High.

The prevailing high price for pota-
toes has stimulated the planting OF
the crop all over the Western portion
of the state this spring, and the indi-
cations are that there will be larger
acreage of potatoes planted in the
Missouri valley this year than for
many years past. If they should
hold up to the present price Of $1.35 q
bushel which is being paid to farm
ers who have any to deliver, there is
q big profit in the business, but with
so many planting this year, with any
thing like fair yield, there will be a
surplus of potatoes in this section the
coming fall.

Grant turned to Marriott, and

the way he shook hands, but was as

the house where he found Mrs. Green
and again showed signs Of familiarity.
Mrs. Green Informed him that She did
not want any pictures enlarg and
ran to the Gus and locked the door.
The agent followed and made an at

then presented her revolver at the
