Hit at the Rate Of 1915 in
the Series With the
Irrigators.

Outhit moro than 100 points by the
Gamers. no wonder the tribe of Jensen
lost the series of the last week at Og-
den town. There was no opportunity
for argument, mediation or compromise
with the natives. They simply stepped
up to the plate and whaled the ball,
no matter who was pitching. Practi-
cally every man on the Ogden club
held up his batting average and fat
tened 1t as though for market. Only
one of the Gamers who played regu-
larly batted less than 800, and his
name looks lonesome

the really large, healthy hitting marks
for the week. Wessler leads the Irri-
gators with one swat every other at

with a percentage for the week OF
which they may be proud. But the
total aggregate cannonading of the
Gamers was overwhelming.
The Irrigators have the consolation,
such as 1t is, of knowing that they
graded higher in fielding work than
their victors

IDAHO POTATOES
IN GREAT DEMAND
j. G. Sewell Tells of In
quiries Received From
Eastern Markets.

That the central and southern states
can raise and that the tubers from the
Gem state are now considered ahead of
those raised in any other common
wealth and will therefore bring a high
price, is the opinion of ]. c. Sewell,
manager of the Idaho Farm Products
company, who has handled produce in
the eastern and southern markets for
20 years and for the past three years
has been shipping produce out of this
state.
Mr. Sewell, who has been keeping
close track on the market situation,
declares that while in the past Mime
sofa and Wisconsin have been furnish
ing a bulk of the spuds in the southern
and central market points, their land
does not produce as good and as great
a quantity of tubers as few years ago
and that those sections would like to
depend entirely upon Idaho. providing
they could be guaranteed a certain
amount every year. He believes that
those markets would take all the tu
bers this section could raise.
AS an instance of the standing of
Idaho potatoes, Mr. Sewell cites a case
last fall where he shipped ear of po-
tatoes to Little Rock Ark, writing the
firm that the car was an extra choice
one and that he would not inclose a
bill, but would sell at the market value
of such potatoes there. His return, he
stated, was 15 cents per hundred higher
than he had anticipated or intended to
charge. He states the inquiry is strong

A WORD TO THE WISE.
How to Make Two Dresses Look Like
Four,

Last summer clever girl with very
few pennies made two dresses look
like four, which is, you will admit,
quite an accomplishment. There is no
reason why her example cannot be fol-
lowed this year.
She bought materials for two ratine
dresses, one Of blue and one white.
She made them exactly alike, with
belted Russian coats with rather short
tunics The blue coat had white col
lar and cuffs, and the white coat had
a blue collar and cuffs. The blue skirt
was a little more elaborate than the
white, as It was meant for church
wear.
When she wanted variety she
changed coats, wearing the blue coat
with the white skirt and vice versa.
With the addition Of black straw
shade hat decorated with a wreath OF
field flowers and stiff white walking
hat with a black quilt, she was either
very dressy or quite tailor made. The
coats required no blouse beneath and
80 were not too warm for even very
hot days, but either skirt could be
worn with a pretty lingerie blouse II
she so desired.
