POTATO BULLETINS
SUSPENDED AS HIGH
PRICES ASSURES RETURNS

The Denver Office of markets and
rural organizations OF the Depart
ment of Agriculture completed its
series of daily potato bulletins on
Saturday last. 1t was announced
that the need for further guidance
of the farmer In regard to market
ing the years potato crop has pass
ed; that the market had resolved it
self into the plain proposition of
high prices and with supply and de-
mand working out their natural
course. The supporting hand OF I'm
Gle Sam, for this fall at least, will no
longer guide the farmer in obtaining
an equitable price and ready sale for
his spuds.
Federal market officials believe
that the price of potatoes has mount
ed to such heights that the farmer
is well repaid if he sells, and If he
chooses to hold his crop it becomes
his own lookout whether he gains or
loses by that action.
j. l.. Taylor, field agent in mar
h''ihS al btHNti, "HO Was loCdleu
at Monte Vista during the early part
OF the shipping season, expresses his
satisfaction concerning the accom-
plishments of the new service so re-
Gently located there. While limited,
as yet, to the movements in potatoes
and apples. the daily publication of
prices and crop shipments through
out the country in these two COM
modities has been of extreme value,
both to the grower and to the pro-
duce man. For the first time in the
history of the West, it has been pos
sible to know within few hours
time what the market has been do,
ing, the extent of shipments and the
demand, as measured in the prices.
In its closing potato bulletin, on
Saturday, the market office in Den
yer quoted sacked potatoes per hun
dred pounds in northern Colorado at
$3.50 to $3.50; western Colorado
whites, $3.50 to S2.65; Peachblow
Russell Burbanks, $2.65 to s2.7O.
Potato arrivals in Denver on Satur-
day totaled twenty car loads Mean
while, there were held over for un-
loading or shipment elsewhere TWEEN

STATE TAX COMMISSION
RETAINED IN COLORADO

Returns seem to indicate the fail
ure to abolish the state tax commits
sion, bill for which was submitted
to the people at the recent election.
1t seems that the passage of this
act would have resulted in a very
serious situation. The Las Animas
Ledger says:
AT the election two years ago
the people adopted a constitutional
amendment taking away from the
state board of equalization the
power of original assessment. The
Dill just defeated would have aboI-
lshed the state tax commission. The
county assessors have not the power
of original assessment for the yalu-
alton OF inter-county property or of
public utility property in the coun-
ties. The people did not know It.
but when they voted to adopt this
law they voted to strike from the as
sessment every dollars worth of cor
porate property in the state. If the
bill had been placed as a law on our
statute books and had not been de-
clased unconstitutional there is not
railroad nor public utility COM
pany that would have to pay a dol
lars worth of taxes. 1t absolves all
these companies from taxation, In
their efXorts to get even, as they
felt, with the state tax commission.
the people would have saddled on
themselves an increase of over one
third of the taxes paid in the state"

Every one who gives enough time and at

them soft and white. Oftentmes hands
which are not at all pretty in shape can be
made to look very well by the best of care.
Then, very often, hands that are naturally

To be sure, Il Is not always easy for the
woman who does her own housework TO
keep her hands in the pink OF condition.
Housework has way of making the skin

With daily care II is possible TO keep the
hands smooth and white. but you dare not
neglect their care for n single day. Wear
rubber gloves whenever the hands are put
In water. When busting or sweeping wear
old chamois or old kid gloves. They will
keep the dust from grinding into the skin.
Should you find that rubber gloves can.

case, take the following steps to protect the
hands: Whenever you have your hands In

Rinse thoroughly in cold water Then pour
little rosewater and glycerin into the cup
Of one hand and rub the mixture well into

When the hands are rough and the skin

retiring with heated almond oil, cocoa but

pores are kept open. Then rub as much
of the oil into the skin as It will hold. BE
careful not to heat the oil too much 1t

Then draw over the hands an old pair OF
loose chamois or kid gloves. Cut slashes in
