There is more call for Barnes County
Seed Potatoes than can be supplied.

Our object in producing potatoes
here should be to produce seed rather
than table stock. The object, is not to
go into potato work to any great ex-
tent the coming year on account Of
the price af seed. It will be better to
start when potatoes are cheaper, but
an association can be formed and one
or two acres of certified, treated seed
can be planted so that the farmers
will have their own seed at the. time
they wish to produce larger acres.
Every farmer who is not more than
eight miles from market should pro-
duce some potatoes in excess Of his
own needs. Attend this meeting.

MAKING MORE MONEY
A. Bit of Embroidery

Prior to three years ago "Le Mar that's the only name she acknow- edges now because, during office hours, she says that it doesn't pay for a woman to have a first name led the conventionally protected and sheltered life of the average young woman in a Southern city, where it is decidedly not the thing for the feminine element to engage in busi- ness pursuits. She had always pos seSsed a certain amount of artistic ability and, with it, the strong de- sire for expression in some creative way. But the traditions of south ern society prevented her realizing this ambition long as no economic problem presented itself.
 For some time, therefore, 'Ie Mar confined her artistic efforts to the de- signing of gift handkerchiefs for her home and social circle only. But it so happened that one day when the cre- ative fever was particularly ram pant she stated the intention of sell ing some of her handiwork.
 If I had announced a trip to the moon," as she said later, my re- marks would not have aroused any greater consternation or opposition. refused to be Squelched, however, handkerchiefs to one Of the big de- partrnent stores in Chicago. They didn't come back. One the contrary I received an order for a gross of half a dozen represented my maxi mum effort at that time. But even then I realized the necessity for fin ishing anything I started and, with in the time limit, the whole IA were completed and sent on their way.
 When I found that my work sold-that there was a steady demand for it-I determined to go into busi- ness for myself. So I opened a tiny office jun Chicago and gradually built up an organization which, while it isn't listed in the class with Standard Oil or Bethlehem Steel. is bringing in an income which enables be to be entirely independent, and all because I took the trouble in ennbr oidering a Handkerchief"

 Court Not Compulsory
 The ratification tv the Assembly of the plan for a permanent court of in ternational justice comes. first. The committee having this in hand is still at work It has before it the report of the council embodying the plan for an international court as drafted at the Hague by the commission of which Elihu Root was a member.
 The council amended the original draft by taking fromthe court the pow CT to force nation before the court at the demand of another nation. The committee and rthe Assembly will un- dOubtedly accept this council amend ment, although most of the smaller nations want the court to have this power.
 There may be a few other minor changes in the original Hague plan, but in the main the work will stand. and the governments Of the world will be asked by the Assembly to enact the necessary legislation to have the permanent court of international jus tice become the accepted mode for the settlement of disputes, which ii unsettled may lead to war.
 This would be the longest step for ward in the direction of world peace that has ever been taken, and of it. self would more than justify the for nation of the League and this ses' sion of the Assembly.
 The question of limitation of arma ments is probably next in importance While it is not probably that any pos itive action will be taken, there is nc doubt that the exhaustive study and discussion of Inc subject by the great est minds of the Assembly have laid the foundations for a formula for arm ament limitation.

So Hercules went dcwn to Hades and got a line on the dog through 2 lot Of old friends he met there Ore of tiese cid friends was Theseus, who killed Q thing ealled the Mira 2Uu' ono but got in dutch some 7-1y and went down instead of up when h. finely kicked in.
 "H'y, Theseus," says Herculce How d'yuh like it down heIe?"
 It's pretty warm says Theseus And there's an awful lotts fires tc keep burning, but il aint so bad be- cause we sure got plenty of helr down here Wotter you doin' here?''
 T came down to get lousy hour dawg named Cerberus," explained Hercules. My boss wants him. Gimme a hunch on how I can get hold of the mutt, peaceably if poe sible but if gotta I'll get real rough with him"
 Boy, you sure gotta get rough ' you count on takin' this Cerberus dawg back upstairs" says Theseus For he sure is wild bone-crusher '
 Guess I'll go take him on for a few rounds right now" says Fe~- cutes. ''I feel sorta mean myself"
 So he goes to the gates of Hado and wades right into Cerberus Thi- dog has a lotta heads and teeth and figgers here is where 'te gets a nicc meal. But as soon as he starts fo Hercules he figgers he's gotta real scrap on his hands. Cerberus makes dire for Hercules ankle, but Her cules kicks him in the jaw. grahe him hx- hn nd rla 1, olI over the place. The old Harry. in side his fire,proof house hears the rumpus and wants to know what all | the commotion is.
 Just Cerberus cllewing up anoth CT dawg," says one of his fire chiefs and they don't pay no more atten tiOn to the sounds.
 In about half a second Hercules has mauled Cerberus around so ruGe ly that the fool dawg aint got nc more fight in him and when Hercules starts up the stairs to the top of tn, earth the mutt just whimpers and follows him like poodle.
 Hercules decides as he's leayins Hades to take alla his old friends down there back to earth, but wheI he sstarts looking 'em over he find: there's too many, so he just takes The1eus.
 When the Old Harry hears Hercu les has swiped his dawg he gets mad and sends out word that when Her cules kicks in they aint no chance of him getting a job in Hades, whicf doesn't make Hercules shed no tear: at all.

 The first phase was de5 otcd to CT ganization and the setting up of the which would make it possible for the representatives of forty-one nations, speaking some fifteen languages, to junction.
 Chiefly this machinery consists ot six committee son each of which ev. cry nation has a representative.
 The subjects before the Assembly for discussion ana action were divid- ed among these committees
 The second phase was the meeting of these committees, which have kept the delegates busy day and night for the past the days.
 No Amendments Seen
 The third phase consists of plenary sessions of the Assembly to receive the reports of the committees and act upon them,
 No amendments will be made 10 the covenant now. IL seems to be the unanimous sentiment of the deie- gates that the covenant should he amended in several particulars but that as the Le1.cue is less than 3 year old, as the proposed amendmcuis have not been sufficiently thought out it would be wise to l:afer acJIcn.
 The point vas ;.iso pressed b Ral | four that the covenant and the treaty are so interwoyel that amendmeu,s ': the former at this time might give Germany chance to raise embarras sing questions as to the latter. The committees have all gotten fsl
