THE REWARD OF COURTESY.

From little sprouts big trees will
often grow.
We trample upon the sprouts of to-
day and gaze with admiration upon
the giants that were sprouts of a form
er generation.
And il is much the same in NUM-
cipal affairs. We think too much OF
the ending and not enough of the be-
ginning. We overlook the little things
of today which have in them the be-
ginning of big ones of tomorrow.
This tendency OF human nature is
strikingly illustrated In the case of a
gentleman who had occasion to spend
a week In a country town. and was re
markabiy impressed by the uniform

POTATO SACKS MUST BE MARKED
Federal Law Requires That Weight
Must BE Plainly Marked.


The potato buyers along potato row
and the potato growers are all up in
the air on account OF am article pub
lished recently in the Chicago Packer,
TO the effect that the federal law in
regard to the marking OF each sack
OF potatoes with the amount In weight
the sacks contain shall be plainly
marked on each sack and that any one
handling potatoes where the sack is
not plainly marked is liable 70 a Sc
we're penalty for violating the federal
laws.
SO far as understood the law is to
the effect that the growers Of potatoes
before delivering them to the commits
sion house OF whoever buys them must
first weigh each sack OF potatoes and
plainly brand or mark in som way
the gross weight OF each sack.
The potato buyer In turn viii be
Obliged 20 verify the weight Of each
sack before It is shipped out and In
case OF a difference will have to make
Il up. The buyer on the other end of
the line will also have to check up and
verify the weights from the commits
sion man or buyer at the receiving end
and make up any difference. The re-
tail dealer who sells potatoes in less
than sack lots will be Obliged TO mark
the weight OF the potatoes each retail
package contains before making de-
livery to the customer.
just what to do about the matter
calls for a difference OF opinion among
the buyers along potato row, as there
Is a difference OF poinion. some seem
ing TO think that the law is in force
and effect az the present time, while
others express the opinion that a test
case will have 10 be made. In the
meantime potatoes are being received
and shipped though II Is stated that
they are liable to conliscation by the
federal authorities for noncompliance
with the law.
The law was passed for the protec-
iltH Oh tue ibHHhit'i anu 'iHN'' - ~
food sold "a packages. 1t was thought
that the law did not apply to potatoes
in sacks until a test case was made
IN Maine and Minnesota and other po-
tato-growing centers, whore 1t was de-
cided that potatoes IN sacks did come
under the provisions of the law.
II the law is to be enforced, each
potato grower will be obliged either
to provide himself with scales and a
marking pot. or will have to haul his
potatoes In bulk, selling them that
way. and the buyer place them in
sacks with the proper marking.
1t was stated that moring that the
potato buyers at Denver and Greeley
Colo, and other points Of diversion
would not accept potatoes until each
sack was properly marked
The outcome will be watched Will
interest and some one will have to gel
very busy and hud out just what the
status OF the ease is. In the meantime
potatoes are coming in freely and loca
buyers are loading unweighed and un

COAST ROAD TO PARIS
SAID TO BE BLOCKED
Efforts Of Germans to Gain French
Capital by New Route, Declared by
Allies to Have Been frustrated
London Declares Nothing Is Left For
Invaders But Dangerous Retreat.

London, Oct 19.-By reaching their
tentacles out to the seaboard. the allied
forces have established close contact
with the British navy. which is now on
the extreme left of the line and seems
from the London view-;o block ef
fectually a further German effort to
turn this wing.
That the Germans may have grasped
this is indicated in the otherwise un-
explainable appearance of four OF their
torpedo boat destroyers Saturday off
the Dutch coast southwark bound. 1t
is suggested that the object was for
the destroyers to convoy submarines
which would dispute command of the
sea of the Belgian litterol.
Should the German navy undertake
this venture 1t would be confronted
with much the same opposition that
has met the British neer since the
commencement of the war and 1t
would assume, the same risk of collid
ing with mines heretofore faced by the
British alone. because the British mine
1eld stretches right along the Belgium
coast from Ostend southwark.
Allies Say Left Can't Be Turned.
If. as the allies claim, their !cf. can
not now be turned. the only aiterna
tive left the Germans is 10 hack away
thru the trio OF armies confronting
them, and Generals Won kluck and
Won Arnin. or whoever is IN command
of the German right. seems in no way
loath TO make the attempt. That they
have made forward move is evident
rot only from newspaper dispatches
but from a confirmation Of the dis
patches in Saturdays official COM
munications from Paris. which stated
the Belgalns had repulsed several at
tempts of the Germans to cross the
river User, which IS ten miles nearer
TIE coast that the Thou-out. Toulcrs
and Menin line. which they occupied on
the previous day.
Climax Appears Near.
AS an offset to this the British Off
cial information bureau in one of It's
rare communications says that the al
Ies in the northern area have driven
the Germans back more than thirty
miles. The precise locality OF this ad-
vance and retreat Is not indicated. but
1t can have been only at some point on
this western wing. where the Germans
are trying to resume their interrupted
dash on Paris by way OF the coast
towns.
These. however are only two points
on the human barriers which are fac
ing one another. Observers here think
that climax is not far off and the
London papers are quoting approving
~. tho not In the sense intended, the
words OF Emperor William. who in
addressing his troops in France on
Oct. 3. Is reported to have said:
Before the leaves fall from the trees
here We will all be back In the dear
fatherland."
The probability that the emperor
never said these words does not de-
tract from their value in the British
construction.
