Trouble for Potato shippers.

Il has been learned from the de
partment OF agriculture AT Washing
ton that potatoes in sacks come un-
der a law which lately went into eff
feet requiring all food packages TO
be marked with the net weight OF
the contents
This application To the amendment
TO the food and drug act is regarded
as OF greatest importance TO tn" pota-
to shipper as well as the potato deal
err. because in many sections II mas
not been the custom to sell potatoes
by the sack. but by the bushel or zoe
pounds according to what the sack
weighs at the time of sale. However.
II the shipper or dealer fail to mark
the exact net weight of the sack mere
after he will violate the law and be
subject to it's penalties for so dong
which are extremely severe.
Many of the dealers In the western
and middle western markets frankly
admit. according to a market report
that they are AT loss to know no"
TO operate under the law The deal
ers claim that necessarily they must
buy potatoes at small towns. at
switches and various other place
where a strict compliance with inc
law would be impractical.
The new law. II is claimed Is more
or less ambiguous in it's provisions
as TO who shall be Responsible Il"
placing the proper marks upon 'h'
bags or other containers. II 'he'
were marked by the grower or ca
lot dealer. the consumer, on ac'ouh
of atmospheric conditions would no
receive the amount the package
originally contained. 1t is though
the matter will finally have to be set
tied in court to determine the pra'''
cabIlity OF the law in this regard

A CRITICAL PERIOD.

Probably at no time since Lincoln
oocupied the presidential chair. has
president OF the United States
hssp placed In more responsible po-
s,ton than that now occupied by
President Wilson. From the moment
NJ his Inauguration he has had the
most grave matters to deal with
FIRST came the Mexican troubles and
ouly for his wise diplomacy this
country would now be at war with
that republic. and thousands OF our
Young men being slaughtered. Then
came the great European outbreak
which threatened to engulf this coun-
fry In many perplexities. but his wise
administration thus far has been the
means OF still retaining peace for this
country
Fortunately for the country and
for the president. he has had n SEN
ate and house OF representatives that
have been In perfect harmony with
him on all these matters. Had either
the house or senate been controlled
by the opposition party. We venture
to say that this country would not
now be enjoying the peace that It Is
We do not pretend TO say that the
republicans would have thrown us
into war. but with house divided
against itself. reforms OF any nature
are hard to accomplish
Herein is where grave RESPONSE
bility rests upon the people OF the
country at the present time. A cam
paign Is on wherein senator's and rep
resentatiyes In congress are TO be
elected We believe that President
Wilson today enjoys the confidence OF
the entire nation. as does also con
gress. which is OF his same political
faith. In order that the president
may not be embarrassed In the poll
cies that he has inaugurated il IL nee
essary that the people follow his ex-
ample and raise above party at this
critical time and elect men who are
In full accord with him In every re.
spect.
Here In Idaho the people have an
opportunity 10 accomplish this b,
eecting Hon. Jas. H. Hawley as q
member OF the senate. II Is the frsi
opportunity that the people have had
10 express their personal preference,
for United States senator. and tn,
present situation necessitates care
iul consideration on the part OF IN,

most important Office. As to Mr.
hawley's opponent we have not ,
word OF censure. and In fact Mr.
brady was our choice two years AK,
ana IN the recent primaries we con
sidered him the most available can
didate for the position from Il repub
hcan standpoint.
1t is well known fact that Mr.
HaWley Is In full accord with tn

HUSTLE
BY Berton BFaIey.

by DSILOu DIdlSys
It's often wise to hustle
When there's lot to do,
If hustle means a tussle
Which puts the business through
If hustle adds to muscle
And helps to cop the prize,
Why, then it's wise to hustle
But never otherwise!,
An awful lot of hustle
Is often simply stuff,
A lot of fuss and hustle,
A bunch of blatant bluff;
It simply starts a tussle
Which causes wrath to brew;
So-never hustle hustle
Till hustle hustles you!
Sometimes our Yankee hustle"
Is merely frantic haste
Which wearies brain and muscle
And ends in wreck and waste;
There's many a hustling cussn
Make wiser people smile
So ere you start to hustle
Be sure it's worth the while!
