condemning Secretary of Agriculture
Houston for his recent failure to receive
and address the Ohio corn Boys on their
visit to Washington. The resolutions
state that the Ohio State Grange feels
it was a shock to the National Grange
when President Wilson appointed Hous-
ton to his present position"
The Ohio Boys Corn Club members,
1t will be recalled, came to Washing
ton a short time ago expecting to be
addressed by Secretary Houston. The
boys were disappointed. however, as the
Secretary did not receive them or talk
to them. The boys thereupon cut the

doubtful IL the antitrust act is the proper

While the department is aware that one
argument made to the grand jury was
that miners were conspiring to tie up In
terstate commerce, it is not inclined to
believe that such contention could be
proved.

that certain dances should be tabooed.
but that the hesitation waltz" and the
''one-step' should be allowed.
The following is the editorial: The
girls do not understand why these mod
ern dances should be prohibited. There
are those who claim that the modern
dances are vulgar. 1t should be under
stood that these new dances are en-
tirely different from the old turkey
trot. The position is the same as in
the old waltz and the two-step; there is
no shoulder movement, and the step is
a gliding walk.
THE hesitation waltz, although very
pretty, is, like the waltz and two-step.

ern music is written in a new meter.
Several good colleges have lifted the
ban from the modern dances, and why
tory shows that at first there was just as
bitter prejudice against the waltz and
two-step as there is now against these
new dances. But as will be the case with
these the waltz and two-Step were finally
recognized as perfectly proper by all.

Ireland. today declared If the American
Department Of Agriculture would lift the
quarantine against Irish potatoes they

such quantities as not only to force the
price down, but would also force the spec
ulators to turn their supplies upon the

Mr. Gill is now In the city negotiating
with the American Agricultural De-
partment with view to having the
country lifted. The Irish secretary Of
agriculture declared that in his coun-
try the black scab or potato wart was
not considered serious, but, on the other
hand, potatoes with these blemishes
are looked upon to be the best potatoes.
Potatoes from Ireland" he contin-
ued. "are kept out under an order which
also affects Great Britain, Germany.

and which is imposed because Of a crop

countries, but does not prevail in Ire

Personality in Business.

From the Spokane Spokesman Review.
An asbestos face may help in the next
world, but it is a calamity in this.-Sales-
manship expert.
This is merely a stripping way OF saying
that personality tells the story in sales
manship just as 1t tells everywhere. The
face is the index of personality. the mir
ror Of the soul. the show window of the
mind. A man may not buy your goods
because he likes your face. but your face
will convince him that he likes your
goods; then, IL you have the goods to
back up the face. you have made GUS
toner.
There Is something rather vital back
Of all this A habit of honesty in thought
stamps its impress on the face. Direct
methods and a cleanly life give frank
ness OF expression that is impressive.
Once impressed, the customer is half
made.
From Dmerson's essay on Character
to selling goods across the counter may
be q wide leap. but; In the long run. per,
goods to back up the belief constitute
character, both Of the individual and the
institution. and that sort OF business
character means success. ~
