Local potato growers might pro-
fit by the following advice Of Pro-
fessor W. H. DIN. director Of the
Agricultural Experiment Station OF
the Idaho University, as to the mar
keting OF their crop. Mr. DIN says:
Because OF the September crop
report of the Government estimated
th 1912 potato crop for the nation
at 490,000000 bushcls-nearly
100000 bushels above last years
haryest-many Idaho farmers felt that
they must hurry their potatoes on the
market to get any price at all
Since that report was issued
however, the potato crop has been
cut down in parts Of Michigan and
Wisconsin. The late crop in New
York will also be considerably less,
and the Colorado crop is sure to be
at least 100000 to S,0O0,oo0,0o0 bu
shells short.
Idaho has IS per cent increase
in acreage over last year and win
have a normal yield of good quality
potatoes. The state shipment last
year was approximately 5000 cars of
potatoes. Farmers do well to watch
the market for more favorable price
than is now offeSed Let the tubers
mature in the ground while the prices
are coming - Do not dispose Of
the crop too soon.
Careful grading and standard car
shipments of well matured Idaho po-
tatoes will be in demand and will
command good prices yet this fall
But the grower mustI keep out diseased
seed stock, avoid scabbiness and
through careful seed selection, must
maintain the quality the market de-
mands and is willing to pay for The
potatoes for Idaho is the tuber which
should be grown here.

all defeated, because the government
was only partly in the control Of the
people desiring reform Ii should be
an impressive lesson to all voters.
No national policy can be enacted
until the whole government is in the
hands bf party desiring such a poll
icy The. president, the house and the
senate and president should both be
such conditions are secured no reform
can be attained. That makes il Of
the utmost Importance that the next
srnae and president should both be
democratic, as wcH as the house.

Why the Railroads Are Hard Up.
From the American Magazine.


The railroad companies complain that
they are hard up. They are: they are
awfuily hard up. Perhaps they were
never so hard up before in their lives
Not because earnings have decreased
earnings have increased. Not because
dividends have diminished; dividends have
been trebled. Not because the margin
of credit has been exhausted: the mar
gin of credit has been multiplied four
fold. The railroads are hard up be-
cause they have got to double their ia
cilties.
When the railroads of the United
States broke down in 1907 Jim Hill said
they ought to spend S1OO CO., coo a year
for ten years to put themselves in shape
Seven billions in all Since then some
equally distinguished authority has raised
it to eight billions.
Why? Their business has been in
creasing nobly. Their gross earnings
have risen from 5000 per mile to S11, $50
per mile. BY larger cars. longer trains
heavier loading, stancher track they
made their old outfit serve. But il came
TO point where IL did not seem to the
railroad men that they could stretch that
string any longer. Nothing to do but
double track. double terminals, double
everything. But doubling facilities does
not automatically and instantaneousIy
double the earnings. That is why the
railroads were SO hard up.

TRAINING FOR SOLDIERS.
Uncle Sans Fighters Going t.
School in Peace Times.

From Scribner'S.
Take the Mounted Service School, which
graduates about 200 men annually. Its
department of farriery alone enables a
graduate to command hundred dollars a
month in civil life. For the methods are
advanced, and no such instruction is to
be obtained outside of the army school.
Whereas ordinarily a blacksmith may
learn his trade in two years, here he gets
a much better training in six months,
and that with far less torture Of defense
less beasts. For he practices on wax
foot and learns to make and manipulate
leaden horseshoe before he is allowed
to work on the horse. Not for him the
injurious practice of clapping a red-hOt
shoe on the hoof and letting it burn its
way to a good fit Yet with all his nicely
of preparation and fitting he works far
more expeditiously than your ordinary
blacksmith. Where the latter takes an
hour for the job, he accomplishes it in
twenty minutes. He also has a course in
veterinary science and finds in the horse S
infirmary all the most modern appliances.
AS for the riding in the Mounted Serv-
ice School, it is the last word in the
practical education Of a horseman. The
training is severe, involving many casual
ties. but it results in finished horseman-
ship. These officers and men of the
cavalry and field artillery ride with mar
velous daring, skill and grace. Nor
should we quite forget the equal enthu-
siasm Of the horses-those horses. so we'll
set up by their training, SO different in
bearing from the workaday civilian horse.
Who can fail to remember the beautiful
and frolicsome mare who, for pure joy,
always took an extra jump between
hurdles.
We have two schools of cooks and
bakers turning out each year about 800
men. Very good cooks and bakers they
are. equally we'll versed in indoor and
outdoor cooking. They get both theoreti-
cal and practical education, with much
scientific knowledge of food values. Incl
dentally the school supplies all bread.
cakes pies, etc. to the garrison and mans
the menu kitchens. A special point is
the train of mess sergeants who order the
supplies and keep the accounts Of the
mess, arranging each days bill of fare
with due regard to variety and nourish-
ing quality.

Dancing as a Living Art.
/. in the Metropolitan.


To keep dancing alive and disnified as
fine art. must keep it natural and
free. guarding it's best traditions and
preserving its inherent dramatic quality.
while perfecting its finest technique In
it's alliance with music. dancing has al
ways been vehicle for the expression of
feeling: and III its alliance with poetry. as
IN ballads. ballots. folk dances story
dances and pantomimes, it has always
been a more or less adequate vehicle for
the expression of thoughts or ideas. Thes e
thoughts, OF course, have for the most
part been simple and obvious. but they
have never been absent where dancing
remained a living art. Dancing only ceases
10 have a rational interest when il be-
comes stereotyped and insignificant. In
these instances dancing may remain an
enjoyable amusement: giving vent to glad
ness and physical exuberance. but its
greatest powers as a liberal and educa-
tive art are in allegiance.
We must foster the development of
dancing wisely. and maintain its poetic
quality as carefully as its musical or
for the revival of the art is an effort
more or less unconscious. to restore to
dancing this capacity for conveying in
teIligent and delightful impressions, to
preserve its traditional and inherent dra-
matte quality. to keep pace with its de-
veIopment of technique.

Star Players and Umpires.
Rice Evans, In Golfers.


1 have found. in the main. that stars
kick less than any others. Walter John
son, the great pitcher of the Washington
club. is the easiest man in base ball to
work with in calling strikes and balls. /
have missed them on him badly, and at
critical points-with never word of
abuse. Ty Cobb and Nap Lajoie. the
stars of Detroit and Cleveland, are the
same.
In 1906 George Stone, now in the
minors. led the American League at bat
with an average of 1913. Stone was then
with st. Louis He was a good man at
bat. but no wonder. Through that entire
season he centered his attention upon the
pitcher, not even turning to protest over
a. miscalled strike. l missed several on
him in the course of the year, but he re-
fused to let any decision destroy his
balance. To this feature. more than any
other 1 attribute his leadership of the
league.
Our main trouble comes from four
sources: o. Certain managers who are
foolish enough to believe that an umpire
can be bulldozed into calling close plays
CD veterans. who are losing ground-Who
are on their way. and barely holding on,
and are naturally out for every shade
which may assist their last stand; CD
young players Just coming on, nervous
and anxious to make good, and therefore
fretful: 90 players, who, after making
bad plays. seek to throw the fault upon
the umpire. and thus escape criticism by
the alibi route.

batting star. also develops tendency to-
ward nagsing and abuse. for some one
must be blamed. and why not the UNI
pire? II isn't his fault. but he is the
most available target to be fired at. II

youngsters breaking in-only knew how
