72-CENT RAISE
IN 100 YEARS

In 1888 the average salaries ot
clerks employed by the United
States government WAS II, III y.
In 1916 the average pay Of the
same class Of employees was Sl.l3s.
I'm nearly one hundred years
the average salary Of clerks was
increased by the magnificent sum
Of seventy-two cents-six cents o
month.
In the same period the pay OF
cabinet members was boosted 100
per cent. that Of supreme court
Judges was raised over 300 per
cent. and the salaries of congress
men was increased over 700 per
cent.
There has been no complaint
that cabinet members. supreme
court judges or congressman are
overpaid. The increases in their
salaries have been proper-and b,
the same token the six cents per
month increase which the clerks
have received in nearly one hun
irel years is downright disgrace
full.

transmit these qualities, and
both possess vigor and size.
then it is a much shorter route
to mate these two than to
breed up several generations
to arrive at the same point.
In the hands of a skillful
breeder inbreeding rarely, and
linebreeding occasionally, has
proved a very wise thing; but
the haphazzard breeder had
better let this practice alone.
Two or three shipments Of
something less than a carload
of Russell Burbank seed pota-
toes have recently been made
through the Farm Bureau at a
price of four dollars and fifty
cents f. o. b. Monte Vista. This
Is q direct result of Rio Grande
county's potato exhibit at the
Western Potato Exposition at
Denver, during Stock Show
week. Of course, seed pota-
toes are very high and scarce
this year and we cannot al
ways expect to get this price,
especially for uncertified seed
but where seed is properly
grown it looks like q mighty
good proposition for some of
our growers here in the valley
to take up. The old order Of
things is changing and we
must keep abreast of the
times. The outside seed pota.
to market is coming to demand
more and more q certified
product, the same as they de.
mand registered sire. Wheth.
er you grow a special seed
plot or not, you can go through
your potato fields and rogue
out the diseased, the weak and
the abnormal growths, which
would be the next best thing
to the seed plot.

poses was greater in Rio

line in Saguache county. The
board directed that the COM
plant be laid before the state

ment.
