Miss Smith wae young. Miss Smith
was beautiful. Miss Smith was charm.
ms and altogether adorable. Also Miss
Smiths father has an exceedingly fat
bank account. which at some future
date would contribute not a little to
the charms Of the altogether adora-
HE Miss Smith. Such a combination.
Of affairs existing. there was not a
thing desired by Miss Smith, and not
a fad or fancy however vague that
was not Immediately gratifed II the
desire ever found the highest express
sion.
OF her score of lovers every one
held out to himself in splendid con-

great was the discretion and Judgment
With whicl, she bestowed her smiles,
a young man had only to he with her
to feel himself the center Of her af-
lection. That is. all except Bobby
Whitney. Bobby loved and adored as
deeply AS any Of the rest. but an
i%dictically small salary stood in his
any sort Of priority in the affections
Of such a n as the charming Miss
Smith. And SO. in spite Of an other.

time that lie footed. instead of head

First of all her objects Of affection
was a little. snow white Canary Island
poodle called Pet. The lavish caress-

little beast were a source Of envy to
all her admirrs. Driving O. hoatink

Heartbroken. of course. was his dot

funeral she gave herself over to her
sorrow.
Her grief somewhat expended. the
next thing was to talk of her deceas-

was without him. This she proceeded
to do. Within a week after his death

SATURDAY. OCTOBER :. 1918.
THE POTATO OUTLOOK.

Farm stock and Home: Without
entering into the question of ~prohahle
prices it may be said that the rapidly
expanding potato acreage of the nerth'
west gives cause for grave concern
lest the growers realize loss rather
than profit for their labors.
Chief among the causes that make
for individual loss are distance from
market. lack Of acquaintance with the
buyers. too few potatoes for car-lot
shipments, and inferior quality. Where
the rate per hundred is excessive. or
where the teaming distance is far, the
cost Of marketing becomes a very Sc
rious item, not to be left gu OF the
reckoning. Twelve cents a bushel
hauling and freight charge is a more
serious item when applied to thirty
cent potatoes than when it falls upon
ninety-cent wheat. Where car-lot
ouantitie. cannot be shipped the local
freight rate shuts off any other than
the home town market. n this or
dinarily is filled with but a few hum
dred bushels. And even when car
lots are ready for shipment. if the
shipper has not posted himself as to
the general market situation he is very
largely at the mercy of the dealer
with whom he happens to connect"
And in spite of the high average OF
honesty among dealers. the fact that
the shipper has no other place to go
does no. tend to strengthen prices.
Az a pointer here it may be said that
usually a price quoted, F. O.. r. tfreight
on board the cars) 10 better for the
shipper than the higher price he gets
at the terminal market. unless he is
an old hand at the business. The
chances Of loss in shipment. or even
Of refused cars. are very considerable.
especially where the shipper has not
had some experience with shipping
p%erishable freight. And as to the
problem Of inferior quality, that never
will he settled until shippers begin to
realize that quality is paid for in cash
on the merket. Even farmers have
been known to ship "doctored' cars.
n the cdf-lot made up OF ndll-a-
dozen varieties is a daily arrival at po-
tAto centers..
Mos. Of these adverse conditions can
be met and overcome. especially if
the neighborhood joins together and
forms a shipping association on the
cooperative basis. And with the ship
ping association sould be combined the
variety and quality may in future be
secured.

tty in the house and senate. The
democrats are accused Of taking ad-
vantage of a position into which they
were accidentally thrown to enact a
tariff law which was not desired by
the people. and which they were not
expected to attempt. 1t may be said
on the other hand that no tariff bill
passed by the democrats could possibly
have been expected to meet with the
approval of their party opponents.
Perhaps a more trustworthy indica-
ton Of the real sentiment Of the coun-
try is to he found in the calmness with
which the bill is received everywhere.

BASEBALL

Next week is the week of the worlds
championship for the year. The con-
tending teams are. as everyone knows.
the New York Giants and the Phila-
delphia Athletics. The games will be
played alternately in New York and
Philadelphia, until one team or the
other has won four games. The OPP
enins game will be played in New
York on Tuesday afternoon. The
Times has arranged to receive the
earliest. most up-to-date and most
complete reports Of these games avail
able. No pains nave been spared. or
will be spared, to make these reports
complete and satisfactory.
Interest in baseball is greater and
more general than ever. There is not
q town in the country in which there
u not an eager demand for the very
latest on baseball. The whole coun-
try rs been following the games this
summer with intense interest, and
there is scarcely a locality so remote
that its people are not c%onversant
with the achievements of the various
teams, the behavior or the star pitch
ers, and everything concerning the
games. This interest Is fully as great
in North Dakota rs elsewhere, and II
70 intended that the readers of The
Times shall have the best possible op.
portunity to close the season in a sat
isfactory manner by reading the best
possible report Of the great champion
ship games. we cannot guarantee that
the favorite team Of the reader shall
WIN. but We hope to be able to keer

GAME WAROENS
State G e Warden Hedrick
Favors Corps Of AS
sistants

Mitchell, Nov. %. -Appointment
of volunteer game wardeps over South
Dakota to supplement the work of
the state warden and his corps of
eight deputies would make for a
much better enforcement of the game
laws in south Dakota. This is the
opilion of State Warden H. ID. He'd
rick. CT Chamber lain.
The new system of having eight
deputy wardens scattered over the
state, instead of a game warden for
each county, has proved highly sue
ces sful, asserted Mr.. Hedrick. He
stated that where the work of the
deputy was not hindered by personal
acquaintance or influence the results
were much more effective. But he
was strongly in favor of volunteer
deputies, to serve without pay, to
supplement the present corps of depu-
ties.
The game laws of South Dakota are
being better enforced at present than
ever before, declared Mr.. Redrick.
Over fifty convictions have been re-
ported for violations of the statute and
this has had a very salutary effect.
Location of the prjected state feb
hatchery is yet unsettled, declared the
warden. The state warden expressed
his desire to secure the best site for the
hatchery, irrespective of influence that
may be used in behalf Of any particular
location.
