SOME POINTS TO CONSIDER IN
THE SELECTION OF POTATO
ExHIBIT

1. Exhibit must be uniform that Is,
have all potatoes in exhibit OF the
same size. shape, color, etc.
2. Exhibit must be true to type-If
Green Mountain Potatoes are exhibit
ed, study the Green Mountain type
and select exhibit to represent this
type, The same is true with Rurals
and other varieties.
3. Size OF Potat0-Do not select the
large potatoes for exhibit. The mar
ket demands a medium sized potato,
true to type This is what should be
exhibited.
4. Shape Of P0tat0es.-Have the
shape true to variety. Do not select
a Burbank shape for a Green Noun

LINES NEARLY CoMpLETEp

The power transmission limo from
here to Amasa has been pushed along
through these stormy days at very
fair rate of speed. The work is still
confined to the erection of the poles
which have been set as far as the
Warner mine. From that point the
local company at Amasa will take
the power and TO do so they must
erect their own poles.
The work OF building the stepping
down station has just commenced
and we are told by Mr.. Proscks
who has the contract to erect 1t that
he expects to finish IL quickly.
In the mean time the Peninsular
Power wire crew is at work chang

Falls. Heretofore the wire connect

smaller capacity than Is necessary
to supply the Amasa current so that

IRON COUNTY NATIONAL
ELECTION

The stockholders OF the Iron Coun-
ty National Bank met at the bank
building last Tuesday with a large
representation of the stock present.
This was the first year OF the bank
under It's increased capitalization.
For that reason the stockholders
didn't expect the showing that has
been made in previous years with the
smaller capitalization. They were
agreeably surprised at the showing
made and especially at the manner
In which the bank went through the
depressing period OF last year. The
report showed that the Iron County
National had re-discounted only
$4,000 worth OF paper In the year
while other banks OF the same size
throughout the peninsula had sever
al thousand dollars re-discountcd.
The election OF directors resulted
in the selection OF the following:
James +. Corcoran. M. III. Moriarty.
Herman Holmes, b. G. Nicely. A. l..

year are:

TAKE SALTS To
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat if You Feel Backachy
or Have Bladder
Trouble

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush
the kidneys occasionally. You must
relieve them like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel dull mis-
cry in the kidney region, sharp pains
in the back or sick headache, dizzi-
ness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic .twinges. The
urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the
channels often get irritated, obliging
you to get up two or three times dur
ing the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in a glass Of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and bladder

BETWEEN
OURSELVES

Moscow is a community COM
posed of people more cosmo-
politan in their demands and re-
fined in their tastes than the
average.
In a great measure this is due
to the influence of the univer-
sity and it is imperative that
store, to meet the requirements
of such a community must be
q real metropolitan store.
That is why Moscow is proud
of our store. 1t is place you
are pleased to show visitors.
Such a store brings people from
great distances and this vol
ume of business drawn to Mos
COW is necessary if the store is
to grow larger and better. Is a
store such as this one an asset
to the community? If it is give
it your moral and financial sup
port. It is home institution
with a small beginning but with
ambitions to be all that the
discriminating people of Mos
COW can wish it to be.
Next Week-some new pat
terms in Bavarian, Japanese and
Johnson Bros, China Dinner
ware. Bungalow apron week in
the Bargain Basement. Many
new patterns in good quality
percale aprons at eighty nine
cents.
The big clearance of coats be-
gins Monday morning.
Mr.. Carlson, the fur man, will
be at our store June 3rd, 4th
and 5th. Plan to see him about

taxpayers who received the recent
notice of street improvements, | am

are dead of shock, and alone left.
am a bit groggy from that notice but
able to take little nourishment
agian.
Now / wish to speak few words
concerning this work, principally of
work done on Tenth street, between
Cascade avenue and Columbia street.
The actual grading of this street be-
tween points named could have been
done by two men and team in a days
time and have a good proportion of
the afternoon off.
A cement pipe line was put in for
$lO0 which could have been laid by two
men in day and half. Perhaps two
loads of gravel were used on my part
of the street, which part would be
about Is or l8 feet by 100 feet long.
The labor on work so far would not ex-
ceed SIS. Now am charged a matter
of $243 for curb and gutter and 100
feet of sewer pipe.

this block of 200 feet on which there
was not two days grading on the en-
tire street. Redmond is now putting

from one to the other, all claiming
that George did it.
Is anything further needed to convince
the taxpayer of Hood River that what
we need is a man or men paid good
salary to handle the municipal affairs
of Hood River in business like way?
This recent assessment notice is a
sufficient cause to make this change at
once. We are paying out enough mon
ey needlessly on this matter to have
paid mans salary a number of years.
should like to know if the city char
ter does not provide for an itemized
statement being made of cost of this
work, property owners to be notified
concerning it before contract was
signed. If not done, why not?
This matter shows the greatest kind
of childish incompetency on the part of
someone. G. G. Cornelius.

RED LETTER DAY
AT ST. MARY'S

The largest class of children ever
participating in such a celebration, re-

when Rt. Rev. Joseph F. McGrath, of

assisted in the ceremonies by Father

turned from a visit in Germany. Fol-
lowing the services tables were spread
beneath the frs and pines of the
church grounds, and the crowds par
ticipated in picnic lunch.
1t had been anticipated that Bishop
McGrath would remain here for several
DAYS and tentative plans for extensive
entertainment in the way of motor
rides through the valley and over the
| Highway had been arranged. he was
forced to leave Sunday evening, how
ever, because of pressing engagements
/ elsewhere. Bishop McGrath compli-
mented the pastor of the church and
the children on the preparations they
had made for the event, declaring that
in all Of his experience be had not
found children better instructed in
their catechism.
The scenes at St. Mary's church

FLORIDA MAN TO
TRY LOCAL BERRIES

w. r. Gibson, Willow Flat berry
nurseryman, has just received letter
from r. A. Barkley, Plant City, Fla,
strawberry grower, which he charact-
erizes as one of the best compliments
he has ever seen paid to the Clark
Seeding variety of strawberry, grown
exclusively here. The Florida man,
seeing Hood River berries on the Chi
cago market, was so impressed with
the quality that he wrote here seeking
information. Later he ordered ship
ment of the Clark Seedlings. A letter
from Mr.. Barkley, written on July
6, interesting because of the difference
in the seasons, as he notes, is ia part
as follows:
"Plants here should all be set by
October l, as we generally start pick
ing berries about Thanksgiving and
our season is long one, closing about
May l.. We generally have a picking
season of about six months with an av-
erage of A, 600 quarts to the acre. Ex-
treme yields have reached as high as
5000 quarts per acre.
The local season does not exceed two
to three weeks, and the average yield
here is less than 2. 500 quarts per acre.
