some pointers in exercising economy
on the start. He said it was very easy
to add to, and cautioned them about
expending unnecessary amounts in the
beginning.
The company was reorganized with
all local men as follows:
President. John T Crawley; Vice
President, Watson H Stewart; Secret
ary. ]. Welland Jeffers; Treasurer, /.
B. Raichart. These officers with ].

z. II. poUTHiTT GIVES POINTED
PARAGRAPHS ON POTATO FLOUR

As matter of Information to po-
tato growers and investors in the
Farmers Milling and Produce Co., Mr..
tional Potato Association, has handed
us the following paragraphs.
Potato flour mills furnish a cash
market for sound unmarketable pota-
toes.
! Since Tuesday the weather has
potatoes field run and contract for
them right now at a given price.
The potato flour mill will save the
farmer buying sacks as he can de-
liver them in bulk field run.
The potato flour mill will save the
farmer the expense and trouble of
grading in the field or on the farm.
The potato flour mill will purchase
sound unmarketable potatoes from
any potato shipper.
| 1t is not good sound business for
any potato flour mill to attempt to
eliminate the potato shipper.
| Potatoes when cooked and dried on
potato flour mill machinery are used
in Germany for stock feed and has
|
of corn for feed.
The potato shipper needs the pota-
to flour mill as a place to dump his
sound unmarketable potatoes or over
supply and generally are the potato
flour mills biggest booster.
Potato growers need the potato
flour mill just as much as the potato
flour mill needs the potato grower.
Do heavy frosts mean more small
potatoes? II it does then the potato
grower certainly needs the potato
flour mill
II is not profitable for farmers to
feed raw potatoes to stock. why? Be
cause TO secure l bushel of potato
solids the animal has to eat five bush
els of raw potatoes.
Why feed raw potatoes when the
potato flour mill can convert your
raw potatoes into dry cooked ptatoes
ideal for human or stock food at low
cost.
In feeding 90 tins of raw potatoes.
the animal consumes Is tons of water
and tons of solids. think of it.
Potato flour when mixed with dried
onion flour and dried milk powder
makes wonderful potato soup by the
simple addition of boiling water. 1t
-can be put up in cartons and sold
from the grocery shelves.
Potato flour with the proper addi
ton of milk powder. dried egg pow.
der and the other necessary ingred-
tents, such as wheat flour. etc. Makes
lal; f,,1 l-e,
flour which can be put up in packages
and sold from the grocers shelves.
Potato flour can be used for the
baking of bread and by the addition
of to 10 per cent of potato flour to
YOUR regular quantities of wheat flour
YOU will secure several more loaves
of bread having that home made bread
flavor so persistently sought after by
all modern bread bakers, you also save
yeast and secure loaf of bread which
will stay moist longer than where
no potato flour is used.

Yesterday the Junction nine came to
Delta to put the drubbing to Delta
again. 1t started out alright for them.
Lefty Griffith was there at the first
with pretty good swing up to the
fourth inning and there he blew up. Up
to the fourth inning the game as play,
ed by both sides was equal to any we
ever saw staged by eigth grade school
boys. Delta started with Louck. but
replaced by Sampson before the first
inning was over. BY the middle of
the third inning. Karl Eberhard, who
is supposed to be invalided with a case
of blood poison in his foot, could stand
1t no longer. He was simply itching
to take those guys on and take il from

 Where was Holke all the time that the Collins-Zimmerman race was on? Stand ing at his bag watching the incident. Why didn't Holke, seeing Rariden going to- ward third and the plate uncovered, run to the plate for a possible throw? No one knows, although many claim that Holke was so fascinated by the play that he couldn't move. There was necessity for Holke or first.
