GRANGE FOLKS CONFER
ON POTATO CONTEST
As Practical Farmers They See
Much Merit in the Work
Among the Boys

d. j. Wynkoop of Ahtanunl, rep
resenting the Grange members and
other citizens of that section of the
boys potato clubs was in conference
Wednesday with Prof. Smyser with
reference to the work that needs to
be done. Like a great many others
in various parts of the county, Mr..
Wynkoop and his neighbors are
heartily anxious to cooperate with
the officials of the boys club in the
work to be done. AS practical farm
ers they are DESTROYS that the actual
rules of the contest be issued as early
as possible in order that the various
school districts may make the needed
arrangements. The planting season
is approaching and there is much to
be done before that time.
Want a Grand Sweepstakes
In a general way the Ahtanum
people hope that the school district
contest in Yakima county will have a
sequel in a grand sweepstakes at the
state fair at which the winners in the
districts will be able to meet in com
petition on neutral ground and fight
out the whole question of supremacy.
The district also wants to see particu-
larly good work done at the outset in
the selection of seed potatoes. The
same laws apply to potatoes that APP
ply to other departments of the ami
NAL and vegetable kingdom, and this
must be recognized When the boys
are making their planting selections.
Must Study the Spud
1.-THE potato" says Mr.. Wynkoop,
has not been studied enough and not
enough attention has been given 10
the selection of seed. There should
be special seed plat. The boys here
by selection and cultivation should
be able to do what the boys in the
south have done with the corn. BY
using the potato which is nearest to
type and which is most prolific an
immense increase should be made in
the yield per acre.
What the Work Means
I'm the Ahtanum, and | presume
elsewhere in the county interest in
this contest is intense. The boys have
this work of cultivation to take up
and carry on where we leave off.
There is no reason for going over
ground where their predecessors have
travelled, and there is reason, in view
of the value of land here, for making
progress This contest looks to this
end. Those who enter it will learn
much more than the mere raising of
potatoes They viii learn a hundred
other things worth money and along
the line of progress. The move that
has been made is a splendid one. Il
almost makes one wish he was a boy
again."

Saints and Sinners.

Goodness itself can be so overgood
that you can't distinguish it from
badness.
When saints make sandwich men OF
themselves, advertising their virtues
to the public, extolling their own ten
der, angelic qualities, you want to kill
them.
If only some of the pains taken to
make human beings good were ex
pended in trying to make them happy
what different place this old world
would be.
If only teachers and preachers and
parents and fanatics and reformers
would realize that what people neet
is a little sunshine sent into theil
lives before they talk about response
bilities and a future state.
There are children and grown
people so cobwebbed over with carr
and misery that all talk Of "how good
to them is useless. Their only hope
their only salvation-lies in infusinl
little sympathy, consideration ant
happiness into their lives.
Often it is a mother-weary, bod.
and soul. Tired of plodding, tired o
working on in round of endless dc
tail-little, insignificant, provokip'
items that she gets no credit for dc
ing, but fatal discredit for leavin
updone.

HUMAN BURRS IN THE WORLD
UnwIse People Who Bore ThelI
Friends With Their Display Of
Lack OF Tact.

Do you ever encounter inquisitive
people who are really annoying-peo-
pie who have not the least interest
in your affairs, but simply want to
know" out of idle curiosity? A great
share of Americas reputation for rude
ness may be laid entirely to the charge
of their riling questions. Equally I'M
desirable is the person who confides
her family troubles to all her friends.
Instead of putting the stoutest kind Of
paddock on the closet door where the
family skeleton turks. some women
shamelessly drag 1t out and parade
in the public eye.
The too-friendly individual who runs
in at all hours without ringing and
offers her services upon every occa-
sion, and the woman who monopoli1es
or tries to monopolize all the time
and attention of her friends is like
wise to be avoided. "Dearie, If you
are thinking of going shopping this
week, let me know and I'll go with
you. Stop for me IL you go to the
matinee on Wednesday"
1t never occurs to them that theil
company might not be appreciated
| But just as the burrs of the field make
us appreciate the flowers more thar
ever, so do the human burrs teach III
to rejoice in the pleasant, considerate
sensible friends that fall to ones To-
