"t docs not seem right" said mer-
chant to The Tribune this week. that
We should sell potatoes and butter to
farmers. Men who own hundreds OF
cattle come in here and buy butter
and at the same time we have custo-
mers who come in to buy potatoes
while they own land which the claim
will raise 400 bushels Of potatoes per
acre" There is much truth in this
and shows that Boise valley has not
been farmed as yet
This winter weather in February,
contrary to all precedent, is accounted
for this way. Last Saturday night

ADVANTAGE SMALL r OR RATIFICATION
 IN NORTH CAROLINA
63 Members in the Lower House Send Telegram to Tennessee S0lons
 
 Defeat Measure
ey Associated Pros,

Raleigh, N. C., August 13.-Rati-
 Acation advocates temporarily held
 the advantage In the North Caro-
 lima fight over the federal suffrage
 amendment as a result of develop
 ments today. which included spe-
 cial message by Governor Bickett
 urging ratification md favorable
 report on . ratification resolution
 by . committee of the upper house
 of the legixlattlre.
 Although the victory of suffrage sup porters in committee appeared over whelming--a vote of to 1 for favor able report being recorded--the action merely marks the beginning of bit ter contest The suffrage leaders were given new hope by the governors plea, but the executives statement that he personally was. against the federal amendment served to bolster antag- onists of the suffrage movement in the lower house.
 While leaders of the suffrage group in the senate were confident of ulti- mate victory in that chamber. they said frankly no such ratio of affirma- tive votes as was recorded in commit tee could be maintained on the final roll call. Anti-suffragists claimed de- feat of any ratification measure in the lower house, from which 63 of the 120 members signed telegram to the Ten nessee legislature asking it to kill the suffrage resolution.
 Action on the resolution in the sem ate probably will come Tuesday. A vote is expected quickly once the ques- tion reaches the floor. Few speeches are scheduled, for both sides believed |tonieht the lineup in the upper house has been determined. The suffrage pro |ponents claimed victory, but the antis insisted they still may check the reso- Hutton without it reaching the lower house by breaking into the. suffrage strength in the senate.
 From a partiSan political standpoint the situation here is badly mixed. The suffrage resolution was introduced ir inc senate by Senator Scales. democrat of Greensboro, while in the lower house the republicans made good their threai to force the issue. and Representative Williams, the republican leader, set the suffrage machinery in motion with resolution of ratification. It was i'm lme1iately referred to committee. Leaders of the opposition in the lower house said they expected to await ac- ton by the senate before beginning activities in the lower house. thus leav- ling the williams bill in the pigeon 1 hole.
 This was understood to be move to serve a dual purpose-that or XII ling any republican claim for credit ana at the same time to delay actior sufficiently to give Tennessee time ts act or permit the shifting of the rati- 0cation in the other southern state.

 WILL BE OBNOXIOUS
 The provision for pIebescite in the portion of Poland formerly belonging to Russia, together with the stipulation that the holsheviki be granted permission to disseminate propaganda without restric- tion in that territory for one year be- fore the vote, is viewed by officials here as likely to be especially obnoxious to the Poles. The granting of such de- mands would, in the opinion of offl- cials here, certainly result In the loss to Warsaw government of Russian Polano' for all Polish national fleeing in that re- zion, it is considered. would be plotted out by the sbolshevik propaganda.
 Officials were inclined to believe that the peace terms to be submitted at the Minsk negotiations, now in progress, will be even more severe than those tenta- lively prepared for the Baranovitch con ference, which ended abruptly when the Polish armistice emissaries replied they had no authority to conclude peace. The recent successes of the soviet forces ara held to have made possible the even more drastic terms.
 The Polish situation continues to re- ceiye large portion Of the attention ot officials here. The state department to- day had not received of the French gov ernmetn any message expressing satis- faction with the American attitude as oe- fined in the American note. State de- partment officials, however, stated there had never existed any reason to ques- tion the approval by France of the posi- ton of the United States toward the Russian and Polish problems as emood- jed in the recent note.

 The act of confidence displayed by the French government in General Wrangel by recognition of him as de facto gov ernment had brought to light a Similar confidence reposed in him by the United States. It is through General Wrangel in southern Russia, officials said today. that the United Sttaes hopes to intro- duce largely the friendly expressions or yn1pathy, and the Baltic states also have been chosen as strategic points for disseminating the attack on the soviet authorities.

The house adjourned today unul Monday afternoon at ? o'clock without reference to suffrage, but it was stated later the committee to which the resolution was referred would meet Monday night to consider it. There was no indication what action would be taken, but in connection with rumors that the opposition might attempt to bury it in committee, it was recalled an effort of suffragists to force re- port today was defeated last night by vote of to G. with four members absent.
 GALLERIES PACKED '
 An hour before the senate convened. the galleries and aisles were packed with spectators, among whom the ac- tive pro and anti suffrage workers predominated,. Speaker Todd hadl little difficulty in silencing the onlookers when the body was called to order and throughout the two hours of debate, during which there were numerous demonstrations, was able to control the situation with ease. But when the seventeenth vote in favor of ratfica- tion was recorded the pent-up enthu- siasm of the suffrage cohorts went be- yond restraint and forced temporary suspension of the roll call. When the clerk resumed. it was doubted whether any one outside the small semi circle occupied by the members was able to keep a tally of the vote and knew at the end what the total was. The suf- fragists were satisfied to know that seventen senators had voted favorably. | They redoubled their cheers when the clerk shouted the total above the up l roar and 1t was necessary for the | speaker to call upon the sergeant at arms before the chamber could be l quieted sufficiently for work to bt resumed upon other matters.
 I Miss Sue White Tennessee state l chairman of the national woman's | party, expressed the sentiment of the
 suffragists generally when she said | the victory brings us to the Hast lap | in the long fight for woman enrran- l chisement."
 BOTH REPORTS RETURNED Both majority and minority reports were returned by the committee which | had the resolution and immediately after presentation adoption of the minority report as a substitute was tabled 23 to 10. A point of order that this legislature had no authority to
 act under the Tennessee constitution
 was overruled by the speaker and on
