filling. A special exemption from the
operations of the law is made for all
containers manufactured, Sold or ship
ped, when intended for export to for
eign countries, or comply with the
laws of the country to which the ship

Standards of three capacities are
f.Xed for Climax baskets, 2, and II
quarts, dry measure. These contain
ers, often known as "grape baskets"
lave relatively narrow, flat bottoms,
rounded at each end, and thin sides
flaring slightly from the perpendicu-
lar The handle is hooped over at
the middle from side to side. In addi-
tion to fixing the capacities of these
standard baskets of this type, the law
also prescribes their dimensions.

tainers to determine whether they

culture is empowered to establish and

for manufacture for shipment, sale of
shipment, or shipment in interstate
commerce of Climax baskets, and con-
tainers for small fruits, berries and
vegetables not in accord with the
standards. 1t is provided, however,
that no dealer shall be prosecuted un-

WHEAT IS NOW
MOVING ALONG

Judith basin wheat has now COM
menced to move at the rate of 40
cars day. This movement was re-
tarded somewhat by the wet weather
the latter part of last week but the
sunshine has encouraged lost time to
be reclaimed.
A preliminary estimate by reliable
authority calculates that the Judith
basin will produce about 1000 900
bushels of wheat this year as against
about 100000 last year. A com
paratively small percentage of this
amount will be held, as farmers are
inclined to take advantage of the ex.
cellent prices offered at this time and
are selling as fast as their crops are
threshed, which is decided contrast
to the tendency of last year to hold
a large part of the big crop for bet.
ter prices. The local elevators are
still holding some Of last years

GERS not chosen by popular vote
Carl E. Milliken led his ticket, de-
feating Gov. Oakley {. Curtis, who
sought reelection. by plurality Of
approximately 10000.
The republican drift extended to
county officers. the greater number
of counties choosing republican coun-
ty attorneys and sheriffs. These Of
fees are important locally because
the holders are charged with enforc-
ing the prohibition law.
The vote was heavy, as had been
expected, for the campaign had been
wnged with a determination not seen
In recent years. The country was
searched out for speakers of national
prominence and the greater number
Of these bnttled on national issues.
The fight was particularly hot over

candidacy for the presidency.
The progressives. who two years
