SAYS POTATOES TOO LARGE

A. L. Hall of the T.. c.. Bottom
Produce Co., of Kansas City was
here several weeks buying potatoes
in connection with the Lawrence
Produce Co. About Is cars were &C.
cured and shipped south. Your
North Dakota potatoes are fine, but q
little too large and as yet, mixed
too badly. Still, our people in the
south like them. We have had trou-
bic in getting enough cars Mr..
Hall said We promised Mr. Hall
that we'd urge the farmers to grow
smaller potatoes, but with such fer
tile soil as North Dakota has, it
will be mighty hard matter.

George Rogers, of the Rogers Lum-

Friday looking after his interests
here as we'll as in other points in the
state. 1t might be interesting to
know that the idea of the Better
Farming Association originated with
Mr.. Rogers who put the case up to
other we'll concerns Of the Twin
Cities and as a result a great better
farming movement was started. Mr..
Eogers is very modest over the part
he took in the affair, but he deserves
the credit just the same.

Depression in Early Trading Is Followed By
 Good Demand

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-There was little to distinguish the record of to- days trading in stocks from that Ot last week, with it's uncertain move ment, and heaviness. No new in. 1iuences of importance were brought out by the bear side. Prices were depressed early. but later the market advanced. Towards the close of a brisk buying movement largely erased the losses and the end Of the day found changes insignificant St Paul was conspicuous in late trading ard. closed with a small gain.

MEAT PACKERS CASE
 INCLINED ID GRAG
Reading of uninteresting Figures Takes En-
 tire Day

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-Counsel for the government continued today the tedious task of reading to the jury in the trial of the ten indiC,ed Chi cago packers charged with violation of the Sherman antitrust law, en- tries from the books of Morris and company, in an effort to show the accounting system of all corporations controlled by the defendants to be practically the same, and that 1t played an important part in the plan of cooperation. Allowances made by the packers for hides, fats, and Oth- CT by-products were traced through the different books of account by months. in an efforc to show that the amounts credited were less than the market value.
 The government contends the pack CTS by this system were enabled ma terially to increase the test cost of beef, and thereby raise the price of fresh meat to the consumer without showing an exorbitant percentage of profit on their books.
 The government will endeavor to prove that the packers, in figuring the test cost Of fresh meat, allowed only three to six cents a pound for hides, when the market price was nine to eighteen cents a pound, and that fat was disposed of on the books for four cents per pound, when the market price was six cents per pound.

of Dan Seed and Will Ellison and one in Douglas foc Charlie Hansen, who appears confident of appointment. Until recently no mention of any one for that office except Gack Bolen was heard and it was thought that his chances were the best. He has been it is said, offered the appointment Of deputy sheriff in this city and there has been speculation as to which Of fee he would take.
 There prevails the general impres sion that this office will be one of the first to be filled by appointment. [: IS not, however, an office that exists immediately with the formation Of the state government. It is true that such an office is designated in the constitution but that instrument provides that the legislature at it's
 first session shall enact laws so reg ulating the operation and equipment of all mines in the state as to pro- vide for the health and safety oi workers therein Tn connection there with and fixing the duties of said of flee Upon the approval of such laws by the governor, the governor, with the advice and consent of the senate, shall forthwith appoint a mine inspector. Thereafter this office viii be elective.
 From the foregoing provision it is rlain that there is considerable that must be done in the way of Iegisla ton before the appointment is made. It is possible that the legislation pro vi6ed for will be extensive but in any event the office of mine inspector will not be immediately filled and cannot be until the duties are desig- mated and provided for and a salary 1 fixed by the legislature. This will prove disappointing information to the several aspirants for this office.
