Don't glut the fall market and in
jure your winter market by placing
large quantities of ungraded stock
on the market at harvesting time.
Don't ship any frost damaged po-

Don't demoralize the already over
burdened transportation facilities by
shipping Gull potatoes. Unless po-

culls will not bring transportation
charges.
Don't overlook the advantages of

of great value in many shipping sec

Don't expect machine sizers to

can grade out the defective tubers.
Don't mix number one and number

BOTH SCHOOLS RUNNING.

There appears to have been some
question whether both of the new
school houses in district 81 would be
in operation this season. Teachers
have been engaged for both places,
however. Miss Pollock will have
charge of the upper school and Mrs.
Ent the lower one. Everyone should
be happy and the goose hang high.
However, there is no county road to
the upper school, and we understand
the old private roads have been fenc-
ed, so that the youngsters have to tie
their horses to the barbed wire fence
and crawl under, a condition that the
farmers in the community hope and
anticipate will soon be remedied.
