CHANGED MIND ABOUT MULE
Lieutenant's Ideas as to Kindness and
Firmness Vanished Soon After the
Animal Got Busy.

There is a lieutenant in an Ohio
regiment who believed that mules
were much maligned, and that if well
treated a mule would behave accord
ingly. In his own company was a
mule with a bad reputation, and the
lieutenant undertook to tame him
Il will show you how this mule
should be treated" said the officer.
So he had the mule brought in front
of his tent, saddled him without re-
sistance or protest, and patted him
kindly on the neck.
HE needs kind but firm treatment"
said the lieutenant
Then he mounted the mule, which
walked six steps, danced three steps,
executed an original hop, step and
jump with each leg, and then projected
the lieutenant into the air and into a
thorny bush.
Catch the brute and kill him, -
said the lieutenant, as the hospital
corps assisted him to his tent The
men caught the mule, but did not kill
him. He was just as good as any other
mule

Had Not Disobeyed.

Robbie is a Washington boy, and
many degrees removed from an angel.
Not long ago his father bought him a
bicycle, on a solemn promise that he
would be good for at least a year.
One week later he was detected in
some particularly fragrant act, and his
father, to punish him, forbade him
to ride his bicycle for a whole week
Robbie promised, but as his father
neared home next day he saw his son
whirling along on his wheel.
Robbie" said he, more in sorrow
than in anger, didn't tell you not to
ride your bicycle for a week."
Yes, sir" said Robbie, cheerfully
"and I'm not going to disobey you
This isn't my wheel It's one l Dor
rowed."

Charitable.

Upton Sinclair said the other day in
New York:
Everybody is jumping up and say
ing that poverty, bitter and grinding
poverty, has nothing to do with max
ing girls go wrong. Well, for my part,
I think that such assertions are too
charitable toward modern social con-
ditions, too charitable toward modern
employers.
Such charity reminds me of the
young lady who was asked:
Ibid pretty Tottie Footlites marry
the septuagenarian Gobsa Code for
love or money?
For BOTH the young lady an
swered charitably, and she added,
Tottie loves money, you know"

Europe-Is a Very I'm

New York.-When you purchase a
box OF sardines, or when you open it
and devour its savory contents, do you
ever think how many hands it passed
through before II reached you? The
little silyery fishes have been sub
jected to a long series OF operations
by the fishermen who exTicated them
nom the meshes of their nets, the
women who cleaned them, cooked
them and immersed them in a bath
Of oil, the tinssmith who sealed the
boxes. and a supplementary host of
hackers. carriers and wholesale and
retail dealers.
When the fishing boats arrive at
their home port the sardines are taken
to the factory, where they are behead-
ed. dressed and thrown into watts of
brine, 10 which they remain from Is

On their removal from the brine they
are laid on grids, which in fine wealth
er are carried to an open drying yard,
and in bad weather are placed in
racks mounted on carriages. which are
placed in chambers traversed by a
current of hot air.
When the sardines are dry the grids
are taken to the kitchen. where they
are plunged into huge vessels Of boil
ing oil This operation Is watched by
women, who take care to remove the
sardines before their flesh has been
heated to excess.
After the sardines have cooled they

mother and sister had been sent to
jail, where they were forcibly fed. The
boy soon surpassed all his competi-
tors in post-box raids.
Operating from his own home, the
youthful raider is said to have fred
ninety street post boxes. Post boxes
were his speciality, but he is also be
neved to have devoted some of his
time to the destruction of golf
greens.
Because he was not suspected. the
boy was able to raid boxes in neigh
borhoods where a woman could not
have escaped detection. The police
may have some difficulty in locating
the boy, who has been persuaded by
his family to desist from the cam
paign on the plea that he has accom-
plished quite enough to avenge his
militant relatives.

POTATO GRADE AND PACK.

The most important step to be
taken in seeking permanent mar
ket for our potatoes, is to establish
a uniform system of grading and
packing them, so that when buyer
orders Idaho potatoes he can know
exactly what he may expect to re-
ceive, and this can only be accom-
plished by all or a large portion of
the growers in the district uniting
to adopt the same standard. There
is no question but what we can
raise the very best potatoes that can
be raised anywhere in the world and
there is market to be had at good
prices for our kind Of potatoes, but
most of them will 60 so far from
home that We cannot afford to pay
freight on anything but our very
best; and any person who puts in
ferior potatoes with others for ship
ment, is the worst kind Of 4 knOcker
against the prosperity Of the tract.
Under the methods Of this organ
ization, any person who ships infer
ior potatoes will be found out and
made to suffer a penalty, and he
will lose the services of the organi-
zation.
The following rules for grading
and packing have been adopted by
the Association:
Potatoes shall be sold in two
grades as follows:
Blue Grade Fancy"
Extra Selected Grade Boxed. :"
Blue Grade Fancy-Shall be OF
one variety. free from mixture in
each sack, sound, clean, same TO be
graded over l rs screen for round
and similar varieties to rulals.
l ga inch for long Burbank type;
this grade shall not contain over
per cent cut or irregular shape or
growths and extra effort must be
made and in no instance positively
shall there be over 10 per cent scab,
and practically no second growth.
The average of this grade is to be
lenient and at the same time exact
on all growers but every man should
strive to increase the quality of this
grade by careful grading and assort-
ing as the reputation of Northwest
potatoes will be established in q
great many markets where they
have heretofore been unknown
This grade is to be sacked in uni
form bags well filled, and in the
mouth of each sack is to be sewed q
cardboard, color blue, size Axe
inches and sack to be sewed with
about one and half inch opening
in the top of the sack. This card
to be printed as follows:
