gree, but the work is expected to go
on along the lines it has been laun-
ched.
In the going away of Prof. Whar-
ton and wife, DR.. May Wharton,
Pleasant Hill and the school will suf-
fer a severe loss in many ways. So
far as DR.. May Wharton is concer-
ned the people will miss her greatly
for they have grown to rely on her
for treatment in sickness as they
never have relied on any one before.
Being graduate of several colleges
in America and having studied
abroad, she is highly equipped for her
work. Nor is that all: it is the Joy
of her life to labor in her profession,
which naturally adds to her zeal and
determine ton to render the best pos
sible aid in all instances.
Their future field of activity re-
mains to be determined after Prof.
Wharton has suffiently regained his
health and strength to give the sub
ject serious consideration, but all may
be assured that they will be found
earnestly and wholeheartedly turn
ing their splendid Abilities to the fur
thuring of some good work.
Prof.RF. Colby has been acting as
assistant principal for year and
comes to the work with broader
knowledge and clearer grasp of the
situation than any other person could
hope to have without time and study
of the work as whole.

ABOUT WHITE POTATOES
Chance for Better Prices do Not
Seem Flattering

In comparison with recent years,
the 1920 crop of Irish potatoes was
decidedly remunerative. Because of
the unprecedented returns, growers
may be more prone to increase heir
acreage and others to engage in this
industry.
Suppose a few statistics are ex-
amined. In 1917, the crop totaled
442,ooo,ooo bushels in 1913 4I2,oooooo
bushels; and in Iolo only 3s8,oooooo,
which explains possibly the excellent
prices of the last season since con-
Stunning capacity each year is approx
imately 400, 100000 bushels.
You ask, What about the 1920
crop?" 1t is this The estimated yield
is 4I3,ooo,ooo bushels, 100000 more
than the average consuming capacity
of the nation. At the present writig,
Northern grown potatoes are bring
ing about S. per barrel in the large
consuming centers, that amount be-
ing so cents less tha the cost of pro-
duction as stated by the growers.
Rather than accept this ruinous price,
Northern grown potatoes are being
stored to await better market con-
ditions,
The prospective commercial Irish
potato grower should draw his own
conclusions as to the advisability ct
heavy plarting of spuds in the face
OF .;e existig status of the storage
and n srket condition.-E. !. Hay den

HOW ELECTORAL VOTE WENT
Cox Failed to Carry All The South
And Got No Northern States

Some oe1 sons who predicted before
the election that Gov. James l. Cox
would not carry single state north
OF the Mason and Dixon Line were
regarded as claiming entirely too
much, but the result shows that they
were right.
Senator Warren G. Harding carried
every northern and western state
and broke the Solid South" by
bringing Tennessee into the republ:-
can column and carrying Oklahoma,
which had been regarded as safely
democraatic.
Below we give the states grouped
as carried, which shows that Senator
Harding has 4o4 electoral votes out
of a possible 53I and Gov. Cox has
I27, all from southern states.
