BUSINESS MEN
 OF OZARK

Did you ever notice that wher- ever you may go. in whatever community you may be, Ii a brass band appears upon the street. or in the band stand, how every ones attention is centered on the band? Why, even in the far off Philippine Islands every little village boasts of a band. The natives make their own instruments out of bamboo, on which they play very creditaoly. In Manila, the writer remembers having heard a Spanish orchestra in a cafe, which, upon request would rem der any known opera, and play ed them all by ear, without a single note before them. The writer being first sergeant of the 10th U. s. V. Band, station ed GageYan, Mindanao. got ten days leave of absence to visit his brother who was stationed at Misamis. Upon his arrival there. the natives there, heard of the First Serg- geant of the Regimen,al Band being there, they came over to i our quarters that night and serenaded me. Never before nor since have l been so inn pressed. and their music was simply great.
 The Ozark Merchants Band also have great things in store for you this summer. The band boys are working hard in order to give you a fine band. They need little financial assistance right now. A committee will call on you and give you an opportunity to respond. It is enough that they devote their time and energy to the band. The financial part should be carried by the business men. When the burden is distributed upon many shoulders. the load will be light. You will derive benefit from it, and everybody will be delighted to hear the sweet strains of their own band.

 Ozark Merchants Band.

GRADES SWEET POTATOES
 Washington. D. C.

The Office of Markets and Rural Organization of the United States Department of Agriculture was called upon re- gently to assist in the establish ment of temporary grades for the shipment and marketing of sweet potatoes in several of the potato sections of the state of Arkansas. Investigations were carried on at sweet potato houses in different parts of the state by an investigator from the office. Conferences were also held with a number of growers, with the result that the following grades were arrived at and adopted by the Russell vile, Arkansas sweet potato growers at a meeting held in Russellville on December II, 1915.
 PRIME (OR No. 1 BAKERS) This grade will include all potatoes of one variety from 2 to 3 inches in diameter, with none over ' inches in length, all to be fairly uniform in shape, clean, bright, natural color, and sound. This grade must be free l from bruised, scared, irregular, crooked, rotten, or diseased potatoes.
 1 CHOICE (oR No. 2 BAKERS) ] This grade will include all potatoes of one variety from r to 3 inches inches in diameter, with none over 8 Sinches in length all to be clean. bright, natural color. sound, and free from rot or disease. This grade may in- clude crooked and irregular potatoes.
 JUMBO
 This grade may include all potatoes of one variety over thee inches in diameter, with none over s inches in length, all to be clean. bright. natural color sound, and free from rot or disease
 It appeared from the investi- gations made that the prime and choice grades (the latter being the principle market grade) would include from 40 to 60 per cent of the crop. From these enough potatoes of the Prime grade could be selected to represent from l23 to 15 per cent. The remainder of the crop would be divided between the Jumbo grade and seed stock the seed stock ordinarily taking all sound potatoes, free from rot or disease. cuts or bruises, and less than l3 inches in diameter.
 The Jumbo grade is not re- commended for shipment to the northern or eastern markets, as they do not desire potatoes of its specifications, However, potatoes of this grade should find a ready sale in the South, where they may be used for such purposes as pie baking and canning.
 These suggested grade rules have been submitted to several of the leading commission mer- chants and buyers in different markets, and the consensus of opinion seems to be that a strict observance of these rules by the growers and shippers of the en- tire South would be instrumental in the elimination of such un- graded stock and the broadening of the market, thus placing the industry on a more stable and prof table basis.

A VICTIM.

Miss Emma Marvin, aged 16 years.
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Marvin, of Winfred, sustained a frac-
ture of the skull at about IL O'Clock
last night, when a buggy in which

INSTITUTE TO-DAY
EXPECTED 175 LAKE COUNTY
TEACHERS WILL BE IN AT
TENDANCE DURING WEEK.

With teachers throughout the
county in attendance, the Lake coun-
ty teachers institute opened at the
State Normal school today.
1t is not thought that this years
enrolment will equal that of last
summer, when 200 We're in attend
ance. Up until moor about 1875
teachers had enrolled, and ii was
predicted that the number would be
augmented by some fifty more teach
ers. Teachers have until tonight to
enter their names. The reason given
for The smaller attendance this sum
mer Is that teachers attending sum-
mer school at the State Normal
school are not required to attend the
institute as they did a year age.
Local and out of town instructors,
including Mrs. Della Stearns. county
superintendent, and Miss Alice Rip
pc, deputy superintendent. are in
charge of the work The institute
continues throughout the week.

MADISON LOVERS OF THE GAME
TO BE ENTERTAINED.

A series of baseball games have
been scheduled to be played in Mad
ison during the next few weeks un-
der the auspices of the Railroad
Safety First team, of this city. The
local organization has been in train
ing for several weeks and have ad-

to play in Madison frequently during
the season.

NOT KNOWN WHAT EFFECT MO-
BILIZATION ORDER WILL
HAVE HERE.

What effect President Wilson's
mobilization order will have On mem
bers of Company ID, South Dakota
National Guard, which disbanded
here last August, seems to be in con-
siderable doubt among members of
the former company. BY some of the
erstwhile militiamen the opinion is
expressed that at least a few of the
members of the former company
could be called upon to enter active
service.
1t is pointed out that while the
Madison company was nominally dis
banded, no mastering out papers
have ever been issued to the COM
pany Without giving a cause for his
action, it is said, the regimental
quartermaster last August came to
Madison and took away with him the
company uniforms and guns. Fur
Their than that, it is said. no official
action has been taken. The terms of
a few of the members of the COM
pany, who enlisted for three years,
have not yet expired. according to
the roll book. Those whose terms of
enlistment nave not expired ana VINO
are still in the city are Ralph Nc
Greedy, Alton Ludviekson. julie Matz,
Gordon Waters and Anton WEIGH.
Officers of the company included
James Robertson, captain; the late
Royal Lee, first lieutenant; Ralph
McCreedy, second lieutenant, and
Joy Wethe, first sergeant.
Redfield has been designated as
the summer mobilization point for
the guard of South Dakota and HUI
ron is the winter mobilization point.
Redfield probably will be chosen as
the gathering point for the state. and
as soon as orders are received four
teen companies of militia will be or
dered into camp, a total OF approx
mately 1000 men and officers being
in shape for call at any time.

STRIKE Vote TAKEN
MILWAUKEE RAILWAY OPERAT.
ORS AND AGENTS THREATEN
WALKOUT If PAY ISN'T
INCREASED.

More than $500 of the less than
5000 telegraph operators, station
agents, staff" men and telephone
operators on the Milwaukee railway
have voted to strike, in case their
demands are not acceded to at a CON
ference being held in Chicago today
between a committee representing
the men and p. c. Hart, general man
ager of the Milwaukee railway sys-
tenn, according to word reaching this
city today. In case of a walkout the
whole Milwaukee system would be
affected, it is said.
The operators and agents ask for
an increase in pay and shorter hours.
In preparation for a strike, the men
have established headquarters in var
ious cities along the system, includ-
ing Sioux City, Aberdeen, Mitchell,
Rock Island, Ill. Minneapolis,
Mimi; Miles City. Mont. and Seattle,
Wash.
Several conferences have been held
by the mems committee and Man
ager Hart since the operators and
agents submitted their demands to
the company early in the spring.
The employees ask for a 10 per cent
increase in pay, and that the time of
men who now work twelve hours a
day be reduced to ten hours and that
of those who work nine hours be
shortened TO eight hours a day. The
company has agreed to an increase
of IL per cent, but has granted no
other concessions, it is said.
At the local office of the Milwau-
kee railway today it was said that
nor of the company's men here are
included in the class that threatens
to walk out. 1t was also said here
that 1t is probable that another vote
would probably be taken before the
men walked out.
