1t Pays to Advertise in Your Local Paper

OF all forms OF advertising there IS
nothing equal to an attractive display
ad in the local paper TO produce the
desired results. Many business man
has tried every other plan OF advertis-
ing only to recognize at last that a
paper read by the community IS the
best form Of telling the public what
one has TO offer. At one time, signs,
big and little, erected in almost every
conceivable place, were largely used,
but their principal effect was TO dis
figure the landscape. The ad in the
local paper possesses every advantage
that other forms Of advertising have
and many more that they cannot pos

whirling through space in an auto or

STATE CAPITAL NEWS

During the past month an average
Of about two informal complaints have
been filed daily with the public ser
vice commission. These are in ad-
dition to a considerable number Of
formal complaints. In many Of the
informal complaint cases the commits
sion is able to secure the relief de-
sired or cure the cause Of the difficulty
by correspondence. In many in
stances the correspondence develops
that the complaint is founded upon an
unintentional mistake or oversight.
The officials of public service COM
panies are showing considerable zeal
in promptly disposing of most all OF
these matters that are brought TO their
attention. Most Of the past month
the commission has been busily en-
gagged on formal hearings in different
parts of the state and during October
will devote much Of its time preparing
the findings and decisions.

ASSESSOR OSBORN TELLS
WHY TAXES ARE HIGHER
Taxes in LeavenwOrth Increase Over
200 Per Cent in 5 YearS-0ther
Interesting Facts Given

In five years the valuation Of Chelan
county has increased 46.73 per cent.
During the same period Of time taxes
have increased 1885 per cent. nearly
double the increase in valuation. This
means TO the individual taxpayer that
his taxes have gone up twice as fast
as the value Of his property. This is
the poignant feature OF a table just
completed by Deputy Assessor Osborn.
showing comparative figures since he
took Office as County Assessor in 1909
and this year, 1913. The chart shows
just where responsibility for the rise in
taxes is to be placed.
State taxes have increased 1883
per cent; municipal taxes on an aver
age Of all the towns OF the county,
134.S8 per cent; school taxes, 82.07
per cent; county taxes 1922 per
cent. Thus it is clear that the county
commissioners are the only ones who
have not made higher levies than five
years ago.
Ii is interesting to note what has
happened in school taxes. The state
and county levies have increased only
23.75 and 1888 per cent respectively,
whereas the districts have increased
their levies 1868 per cent. The
county school tax is based on ten dol
lars per capita for children OF school
age; hence the tax merely represents
the increase Of population; but that
throws a food OF light on conditions.
There are only 1888 per cent more
children to educate, but it takes 82.07
per cent more money TO educate them.
Chelan is the only municipality in
the county levying less taxes to-day
than FIVE years ago. Leavenworth
shows the greatest increase. The ex-
PLANTATION is partially that Chelan had a
very high levy in 1911. While Lea
venworth's was very low that year.
Chelan taxes show a decrease Of 1922
per cent; Leavenworth an increase Of
21e.O6 per cent; Wenatchee 1885;
Cashmere, 1922; Lakeside, 1921.
The efficiency of county adminisira-
ton is shown by the fact that although
county taxes have increased only 1922
per cent, still the road and bridge fund
has increased o5.73 per cent and road
district taxes have increased 65.07 per
cent. In other words, more money
has gone into Improvements, but the
cost of administration has been much
less in proportion. In no other de-
partment Of the government, state,
municipal and school, is there de-
creased cost Of administration.

HIGH PRICES OF BEEF
DUE TO MEAT TRUST
New Tariff Expected to Bring the Cost
DOwn-NO Duty Between U. S.
and Canada

The United States is not the only
country with beef trust to worry il
with high prices. Canada has one OF
its own and, according 10 those
who know, the Canadian beef trust has
the one in the United States looking
like a philanthrophist. Il is declared
that the Canadian packers pay less for
their beef and hogs than do the U. S.
packers, but they charge the people Of
Canada much higher prices for their
meats than are charged by the pack
ers on this side. The United States,
seeking to break the back Of the beef
trust in this country, has taken the
duty of Canadian beef and hogs, so
that they may enter free. Now It is
expected that Canada will soon admit
American beef and pork free OF duty;
if Canada does that, it is declared that
the Canadians will soon have cheaper
meats, for the Independent packers
will at once ship their meats TO Can
ada, offer them for less money to the
Canadians, thus putting the Canadian
beef trust to rout. The days Of beef
trust seem to be approaching the end.

FARMERS, RANCHfRS' and
FRUIT GROWERS COLUMN

The present prices Of potatoes indi-
cate that seed potatoes will bring good
prices before planting time next
spring. The high price will form an
inducement for growers and dealers in
seed potatoes to be slack in their gra-
ding and selection Of stock. This
work is not carried on with any par
ticular care like the selection of seed
for many other crops. and usually the
only selection that is made is to select
good fields and when the crop is dug
the potatoes too small to be Of market
able value for domestic use as well as
the largest and most irregular in form
are thrown out and all the remainder
used. In this manner practically the
entire crop is used for seed and the
selection of seed is a process elimina-
ting the worst instead Of selection Of
the best.
Seed potatoes should be selected in
the fall when the crop is being dug.
If the crop is dug by hand the best
hills should be selected as they are
reached in the regular progress OF the
work. II the crop is dug by machines
the best method is to select and dig
by hand enough OF the best hills to
plant a breeding or seed supply patch
each year. Enough hills should be
selected by this process to permit Of
rejecting about half and leaving sufi-
cient for the supply. If potatoes are
grown as a regular crop each year the
hills selection will be the best to fol-
low.
The best hills are those that pro-
duce the largest yield Of the best po-
tatoes on a given area with certain
number Of plants in each hill. Such
hills are quite uniformly indicated by
the largest and best developed plants.
Sometimes the largest plants are very
late and do not have time to mature
and the result is a large number of
small or medium sized immature tu
bers. Maturity Of plant is as important
as size; neither OF which can be used
independent OF the other as a basis of
seed selection. The largest yield
should be by weight but this character
must be measured jointly with the
term best potatoes. The best po-
tataes are those that are Of good uni
form size, shape and color and true to
the variety in all these features. The
most desirable hill produces a large
yield Of medium TO large tubers Of
good shape and color.
The best hills often have one or two
potatoes that are too small for com
mercial use. If these are as large as
one and three-quarters inches in
diameter, they make good seed if
planted without being cut. The gath
ering and planting of the small pota-
toes cannot be advocated generally be-
cause OF the large amount of immature
and poor material that would be used.
The seed potatoes should be placed
in good storage, safe from frost, as
soon as dug and kept there until plant
ing time in the spring. The poor
stand of potatoes may often be traced
to poor storage Of seed.

Under a new ruling by the attorney
general, the state tax of 90 cents per
ton can be collected from all dealers in
fresh fish and, in fact, from all fish
handled except those caught by can
neries for canning. The fish interests
have indicated an intention TO fight
this ruling. The fish commission,
consisting of Governor Lister, Trea-
surer Edward Meath and Fish Commits
sioner I. H. Darwin, is unanimously in
favor of going ahead with the col
lection Of this tax, neglected previously,
which may result in enriching the
state from 100000 to 100000 dur
ing the present biennium. Since the
general fund is now overdrawn this
money would help settle bad situa-
ton, as the state faces a S650,0C de-
felt in spite OF the increased taxes.
