FOR several years past been reckoned
as an important factor in the potato
markets of our country, and the pop
ularity of our superior spuds has
been constantly growing until a
seeming climax was reached in the
season of 1919 and 1920, when DO.

lie superior product, but due to
Stacking in grading, sacking and
loading cars, our potatoes have never
been fully appreciated until the past
season, and this is due more particu-
larly to the rigid standard which has
been established and to the inspec-
ton service, says the Weekly Market
Bulletin of the Idaho department of
agriculture.
The tendency is when we are sue
cessful in obtaining superior prices
to feel that we have reached the
goal, but year of adversely and
poor prices with keen competition
will soon convince us that we have
much important work to do. All
purchasers are guided by the ap-
pearance Of their contemplated pur-
chase and it is not near enough to
have our products carefully graded
and true to name, but we must hold
1t up to the public gaze in an at
tractive and suitable package. It
has taken the severe criticism of the
buyers whom we must please
through travelling representatives Of
our railroads to make us feel the i'm
portance Of new, clean sacks, tight
ly sewed, so that no potatoes are visi-
BILE, and of packing our potatoes as
near to uniform weight as posi-
BILE. We always knew a loosely
packed sack was mean to handle, and
now we find it doesn't sell we'll
even though the contents are good.
A further consideration which
does not affect the producer so d.
rectly is the careful loading of cars
SO that they will remain throughout
their travel in the same position as
when loaded. Many a car loaded
carelessly at its point of origin has
been cast aside in the eyes of the
buyers because of it's jumbled and
generally poor appearance when it
reached it's destination, and many a
car has received the same treatment

LEAGUE DEAD SAYS
LONDON NEWSPAPER
Correspondent at Frisco
Gives Views of
Convention

LONDON.-The lesson" of the
Democratic convention is that the
league of nations is dead as far as
America is concerned.
That in substance is the warning
to the British government and peo-
pie cabled from San Francisco by
the correspondent of Lord North
cliffes Times.
The turmoil over prohibition.
which both parties have now refused
to mix up with the presidential cam
paign, and the evident determination
of the voters to have the Washing
ton government take up Americas
domestic problems, Says the CORES
pondent, indicate at least the proba-
bility that the league will be ignored
at the coming session of the present
congress and will be jostled aside by
the next congress SO that even were
the Democrats to win, their league
and their promises concerning it
would be as dead as sea fruit in the
mouth of those who think the fu-
ture of the world and Anglo-Ameri-
can relations still depends upon
American adhesion to the league Of
nations.
The correspondent represents Sam
uel Gompers as furious over the fail
ure of the Democratic platform to re-
fleet the radicalism which President
Wilson once professed in industrial
matters, and declares the people are
wondering whether real American
labor party is to be started now.
The dispatch calls the Irish plank
too modest to get the Irish vote,
(which was the only reason it ap-
peared at ALL" The correspondent
continues:
The apparent conservatism of the
green plank is due to the complete
failure of canon de Valera and his
cohorts here as we'll as in Chicago.
Aided by Indian nationalists who in
fest the Pacific coast, they have been
holding meetings attended by less
reputable Democratic politicians, at
which they have not approved their
standing by kissing President Wilson
as well as Lloyd George and Gle
menceau."

Farmers Hand at Last Eel:
In Congress Halls
.(By Robert Fuller)
Written snecial for Recorder

y
Written Special for Recorder
Washington, Dec. 16.-All agrlcul-
tural legislative measures introduced
in Congress will receive the close
scrutiny of the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation and will either be
Endorsed or repudiated.
Such is the plan outlined by Gray
Silver, Washington representative OF
the great organization of American
farmers, to the Farm Bureau Fedora
ton and accepted at the Indianapolis
convention last week.
Gray Silver States Aim
eve intend to talk principle and
to see that principle is embodied in
legislation" says Mr.. Silver. AT the
present short session, the Capper-
Horstman bill on cooperative market
ing will come up for discussion and
action, a bill of fundamental import
ance to the farmers of the United
States. This bill has been studied
in every detail by the American Farm
Bureau Federation and its provisions
will be set forth so that all farmers
may understand it. Legislation of
this character lies at the very foun-
dations of the farmers existence and
in the fight in Congress the producers
of the nation will have the full sup
port of the American Farm Bureau
Federation.
Recording Votes of Congress
1.-THE vote of every congressman
will be recorded on a bulletin board
at the Washington Office of the bu-
reau as matter of record to show
where a representative or senator
stands on any important question af-
fecting farmers.
1.-The Washington Office is a clear
ing house of agricultural legislation.
1--WE will approve whatever bills
are favorable to the farmers interest
and will disapprove those which are
unfavorable," said Mr.. Silver. 1--WE
will assist in framing legislation to
meet the particular needs of farmers"
Among the bills to be introduced
in Congress shortly are several de-
signed to meet the financial problems
confronting farmers and problems of
taxation.
Farmers for the first time in his
tory will have a powerful organiza-
ton to look after their interests at
Washington, equipped with specific
information and with legislative ca
pacity to frame wise and effective

Old John Barleycorn, in his last
resting-place, must now and then in
dulge cadaverous smile If he Is con-
scious of all the present-day evils
that are credited to him: An in

decreased industrial output, labor
troubles, striks, diminished efficiency,
doping and so forth and ct cetera:

'Pandora's box" of ills he doubtless
congratulates himself that he accom-
plished more by his aeath than by his
life, though his real mission was to
bring trouble ruin, and distress:

PLAYERS slJPERs1lTloNS

Baseball and billiards and cards and
chess, craps and dominoes, and other
games have superstitions and omens
all their own. Almost every baseball
team has a mascot which is supposed
to bring it good luck.
1t is bad luck to strike the first
player out.
Baseball players sometimes pull the
little finger for luck.
Some teams will never permit all
members to sit down together.
Home team fans find it lucky In the
seventh inning to stand and stretch.
If baseball team meets a funeral
on the way to play they will win the
game.
A billiard good luck trick is to chalk
the large end Of the cue to insure sue
cess.
1t is bad luck If dog crosses the
diamond before the first ball IS
pitched.
If a baseball team meets load OF
barrels on the way to play, they will
not be defeated.
Some baseball players consider 1t
an omen of bad luck if one of their
nine gets shaved on the day the game
is to be played.
When engaged in game of billiards
or pool, he who keeps the chalk IN
his hand and challs his cue while his
opponent is playing will lose the game
every time.

new service begins July first, 1921,
and Highlanders are naturally won
dering what sort Of deal will be
given them for the four year period
following that date. And well they
may be concerned Much of the
satisfaction of life and living is con-
tingent upon the sort Of service rem
dered on the main star route from
Staunton to Monterey.
Those who have read the new speci
fications tell us that the duties Of the
\ carriers are more than double-mul-
tiplied would perhaps be a better
Aword-he being required to sell
lamps, issue money orders, deliver
parcel post packages-the service be-
ing practically the same as that Of the
T r. F. D. man. Just how these new
requirements are to be met by one
man in a single car remains to be

WOMAN IN PERSIAN PROVERBS

Her face is like a full moon, but
she waddles like a duck.
Woman is calamity; but no house
ought to be without this evil.
The god Of woman Is man, and
therefore all women must obey men.
Better two tigresses in single
house than two brawling wenches.
Choose a fresh wife every spring.
Of what good the almanac of last year
for this?
To consult woman brings ruin to
man; therefore, if woman tell thee
what to do, do the opposite.
A bad woman in the house Of a
virtuous man is his hell even in this
world. Save US, Allah, from this fiery
trial.
