ments should be made as soon
as possible to get this stock, as
the demand always exceeds the
supply. Other things being
equal, the Lookout Mountain
potato generally outyields the

Another advantage of the
Lookout Mountain is that it can
be readily stored for local con-
sumption till the early crop in
the spring comes in. Also. if
held for sale or eating purposes
in the spring. it meets with a
ready market in competition
with the stock of eating potatoes

SERVICE THAT COSTS TOO
MUCH.

With government costing ev-
cry family 1926 a year, prob
ably the administration in
Washington is warranted in TAX
ing what short cuts it can in an
effort to get the new budget sys-
tenn working within the next
thirty days. The government
usually does not succeed in do
ing anything SO quickly as that,
and may fail in this case but the
fact that it is making the effort
at least shows that it recognizes
the pressing necessity of doing
something to ease the burden of
taxation. A government that
costs every family 1926 a year
ought to be a bang up govern
ment. 1t ought to give a lot Of
service for that money. If the
families paying that money were
asked about it probably they
would say, while sparing the
governments feelings all they
could, that they wern't getting
their moneys worth. They
would be likely to feel that way
about it. It must be said for
the government that, it appar-
emily feels the same way, other
wise it would not be worrying
the way it is and taking such ex-
traordinary steps to get the bud
get going without loss of time.
It has got Mr.. Dawes on from
Chicago, and he and the presi-
dent have been sitting in with
The cabinet and department
heads to find out the shortest
wy to get the new economy sys-
tern in operation. That shows
how the government feels about
it. It's encouraging, anyway.
Government is costing too much
and if everybody, including the
government is agreed upon it
why it does seem as though
something could be done to
make it cost less. The budget
points the way, SO far mercy's
sake, let's get the budget started
as soon as possible.vKansas

COTTON LIFTS IT'S HEAD.

Southern cotton growers may
find a new market for their
product, if we may take serious
ly the prediction of Roger w
Babson, noted statistical expert
and investigator.
Lighter cars must be manu-
featured in order to cut down
the cost of production and main
tenance of automobiles, says
Mr.. Babson.
Steel is too heavy for use and
aluminium is too expensive.
To solve this problem it is
proposed to use a composition
composed of cotton, Tornado
hyde and glue. 1t is believed
that a car constructed of this
composition will be as strong as
steel and much lighter and less
expensive.
In the meantime, hold onto
Your old car. 1t may come in
handy until the new invention
is perfected and on the market.
incidentally. we might re-
mark that coal dust is likely to
|supercede gasoline as the new
motive power for automobiles.
The dust is blown into the
cylinder of a car and ignited
r-om a tiny spark. An explo-
sion similar to that of gasoline
lis t',n result.
Of c~"rse. if this evolution
occurs ~,'thin the lifetime of
one John y. that astute gentle
man will p-chably own the
whole works before he.quits.
