OF Crown Point. The object of the new
store Is to cater to the wants and needs
OF the farmers without the middleman,s

farmers in retaliation for the action

corporation to live strictly to the terms

nnas Not Retc1mmend il

The Washburn p ,tato, which re-
ceived so much attention at the
meeting of the Horticultural society
held two weeks agr. IS not the pota-
to that some people think it is &C
cording to the originator Mr.. Louis
Lavoy. Mr.. r. voy stated to a
representative OF this paper that the
potato was originated 10y him in
1903 bv crossing Seeding with a
Carmen No. 3, the result eing the
Washburn potato. According 10
Mr.. L,voy he potato is very late
white variety, vines vigorous and
healthy and free from blight. The
blossoms are white and the potato
i, very heavy yielder. 1t is
smooth potato OF good size with
shallow eyes. If planted from the
25th of May to the first of June and
fertilized with commercial fertilizer
it may be grown so as to be fit for
use in October, but if planted later
than that will not ripen unless the
conditions are most favorable. Mr..
Lavoy says that he does not want
the farmers to think that he would
rec ommend the potato, even though
it is heavy yielder, for he does not
believe that it will be a success.
On account of the thiuness of the
skin the potato is easily bruised, and
for that reason would not be good
one to ship according to the origina-
tor.

After a Town Again

Another movement is on foot
in the town of Washburn
to create a new town out of
territory now contained in the
towns of Washburn and Bay
field. The proposed town would
take in all of the territory in
town 1876 and part of the terri
tory in 49-4. Petitions are now
being circulated among the
people living in the territory
that is proposed to be set off,
and as soon as the signers have
been secured, proceedings will
be started to create the new
town which will very likely be
known as the town of Sioux
River. The people living in the
western part of the proposed
territory are not in favor of be-
ing set apart from the town OF
Washburn and undoubtedly they
will set up objections when the
matter comes up. Those living
in the eastern part of the terri
tory and those in the city Of
Washburn are anxions to have
the new town created.

Are You A Kicker

If you are a kicker and see the
shadow of failure in everything that
is proposed to help the town, for
heavens sake go into some secluded
canyon and kick your own shadow
on the clay bank, and thus give men
who are working to build UP town
a chance. One long faced hollow.
eyed whining kicker can do more
to keep away business and capital
from a town than all droughts, short
crops, cinch bugs cyclones and biz
yards combined.

Arguing SeHmonr Case.

San Francisco, June 9.-Argu-
ments in the case of Chief of Police
Seymour began today before Judge
Seawell, in the superior cou.g. when
Seymour sought to have made per-
manent three injunctions against the
board of police commissioners pre-
venting them from suspending him
and naming another chief and from
hearing charges against him. The
case of the police commissioners was
represented by Attorney Theodore A.
Bell, who argued that the commits
sioners had full power to suspend a
chief, to appoint an acting chief and
to hear charges.
Before the argument began Judge
Seawell outlined the points which he
desired the attorneys to argue par
ticularly They all related to the
powers of the police board.
Judge Seawell pointed out that. the
charter of San Francisco did not
provide directly for cases of suspen-
sion. He suggested that the attor-
neys argue the question of implied
right of suspension.
The three injunctions were Jumped
into one case, and argument on all
was heard at the same time, It being
the courts opinion that the points
raised applied to ALL, He said he was
not ready as yet to decide the mat
ter.
Attorney Bell attacked the injunc-
tions as far too sweeping.
Under the injunction" he said,
at would almost be impossible for
the police commissioners to mention
Whites name at the breafast table"

TO REDUCE
PRICES OF
ADMISSION

Chicago, June 9.-To offset the in
roads made by moving picture houses
ON the patronage of the theatres.
Daniel Frohman will, it is announced
today, take up with theatrical man
ayers, on his return to New York,
the subject of lowering the balcony
and gallery prices in all parts of the
country. Frohman already has start
ed the movement by ordering the
slashing of prices at a downtown the
ater controlled by the New York mag
nate. 1t is Frohmans theory that
many persons patronize the moving
picture show only because they can
not afford to see plays. His idea is
to bring the drama within the reach
of those persons who cannot now
attend the plays because of the prices
of admission.
