Mr.. Londofs solution of the diffleul-
ties of Daylight and Dede Mason is
unique. While not touched with any
sociological theories, the simple life
they lead and the principle against
the acquiring of wealth might be first
cousins to those which Mr. London has
preached in many OF his books. His
hero through all the story is the strong

changes many of his ideas.

this chapter that the lure OF the marsh

something more and different than can

the chapter are quoted:
Always there is the call OF the

gauze winged musicians, from the en-

THE FARMERS AND INSPECTION
OF POTATOES

The fact that the farmers of Weld
county. or at least that portion of
them which assembled at the court
house last Saturday for the consid-
Grafton OF the question, turned down
the proposition of potato inspection
shows certainly the prevailing opin-
len in agricultural circles of this in
stitution.
Mr.. Herbert 3ickling made the
statement that the inspectors in
spect" onl ythe farmers and that the
commission men are allowed to ship
without being subject to this inspec-
ton. The just claim was made that
inspection should not begin and end
with the farmer but should include
the commission man as we'll.
There were other objections made
to the scheme and the feeling which
prevailed in the discussion evinced
the fact that the farmers are tired of
Inspection as now operated.
With the farmers opposed to II AZ
1t was carried on during the past
year there can be no doubt but that
the method will be discontinued
though there is some discussion at
this time OF juster inspection to take
the place Of the late policy which
has met with anything but favorable
comment from the farmers.
Both farmers and commission men
realize that the shipment OF inferior
potatoes from this county tends to
weaken the reputation OF produce
from this section which at one time
stood in class alone. and there is
need to perpetuate the reputation of
the county through some means
which may be agreed upon by the
farmers and commission men and
which will be as fair to one as to
the other.

noiseless, is coupled out lot inches

There can be no doubt but that

The output OF beet sugar this year
