UNCLE SANS
SERVICE POOR

The following interesting letter
from Prof. J. E. switzer, will interest
many Of our readers. The paper is
mailed regularly from this Office and
there is no valid reason for the kind
of mail service Mr.. Switzer speaks
about:
81 am writing to ask that you
change the address of our Times
Record to Clark University, Worces-
ter, Mass. We are leaving here the
early part of next week for Worces-
ter where I will continue my work
through the first semester, when I
hope to finish the requirements for
my degree. We have enjoyed the ex-
periences and associations here at
Yale through the summer school, and
since it's close l have been doing some
special work with one of the men on
the faculty. It is wonderful insti-
tuition, and I wish we had some of it's
resources in North Dakota. They
have a building program of $4,0o0,-
900 being carried on. Their gifts this
past year have been over $4,000, 900,
so you see they have seemingly un-
limited resources, yet they need them
all and some more, the men on the
faculty tell me. We have appreciated
getting the news through the Times
Record, but Uncle Sam has not been
as prompt in his part as we would
like. For instance yesterday we re-
ceived fivs~papers, but had received
none for five days. We are glad to
get them though, if little tardy.
Yours truly, J. E. Switzer."

POTATO SCHOOL
HELD IN FARGO

The first step in what the officials
declare to be drive to secure the
best available prices for North Da-
kota potatoes this fall was taken at
the agricultural college this morning,
where the extension division opened
potato grading school for county
agents.
Similar schools will be held at
Grand Forks and Minot this week, and
the county agents will then return to
their respective counties and hold
grading schools at all important ship
ping points for the benefit of the po-
| tato growers. In addition to ten
county agents, several repres entatives
of the federal bureau of markets and
more than a score of potato growers,
dealers and warehouse men were pres
ent at this mornings session, which
was held in the livestock pavilion.
w. G. Couey, potato specialist at
the college, gave an illustrated talk
on potato diseases showing how they
affect the grade. R. C. Butner, in
charge Of the Chicago Office Of the
bureau of markets, gave talk on the
official U. S. grades, explaining the
technical terms used in describing
them. At the session this afternoon
each of the county agents used a po-
tato grader and graded samples of
tubers. Tomorrow morning the fed
eral inspectors present will run thru
these same samples and criticise the
gradings placed by the county agents.
At the meeting tomorrow morning
0. B. Lund of the North Dakota rail-
road commission will outline the sys-
tenn of state and federal inspection
to be initiated in this state this year.
Candidates for appointment as state
inspectors are attending all the ses-
sions. Discussions of potato problems
peculiar to this state will be led by
George P. Wolf, assistant county
agent leader. Subjects will include
warehousing and pitting, feeding Of
potatoes, the standing of North Dako-
ia potatoes on the Chicago market,
and discussion of the state potato
growers association.

MINNESOTA COAL
SITUATION SERIOUS

St. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 24.-Fuel dis
tributors will ask for the return of
the priority order to obtain coal sup
plies for the state, at once. The fuel
situation in the northwest is now. cri-
tical and unless the state Of Mime
sofa can receive 100000 tons weekly
beginning next week many Of the es-
sential industries will be forced to
close down. The state has received
no coal this week and was scheduled
to receive 100000 tons. Ivan Bowan,
fuel administrator, today summed up
the fuel situation declaring it is rap
idly becoming critical. Bowan said
that the state must receive coal at
once and in order to secure that it
must demand that the federal author
tiles grant the priority rights to en-
able the state to obtain coal from any
field where coal is available. The
plan was advanced last week whereby
Minnesota was to receive days out
put of each week from certain mines
in Kentucky and West Virginia, was
not sufficient to supply the state, he
said. Scarcely no coal is in sight.
Two ship loads are on the Great Lakes
bound for Duluth and they are carry
ing only $4,000 tons, half of which
is to be given to the Great Northern
road. Mr.. Bowan returned from Du-
luth last evening and said the fuel
situation there was very serious. The
school board has not ordered any coal
and the school building must be heat
ed by September 11th.

As to consolidation of commits

Laws of the last seven or eight

is duplication of effort, eXtrav-

expenditures.
Those who would criticize the
legislature Of 1921 should bear in
mind that it added no new com
missions or departments, calling
for money, but its appropriations
were largely for enabling the de-
partments institutions commits

bear in mind that the legislature
Of 1919 did not arnropliate money

these activities so that the leg

rather for the purpose of showing
that right here in Vermont our

upon these subjects and to adopt
some program or plan of re-
trenchment and reconstruction
that will stem the tide of these
mounting expenses.

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922.

After all this thing of a govern ment isn't anything more than the bunch getting together to run things so that everyone can be happy and content Of course, some fellow said we never could be content so what was the good of chasing after con- tentment, but just the same we can be happy. Whats the matter with thinkin' all the time about the things we like instead of broodin' over the things we don't like.7 If we burden our minds with nothin' but criticism and fault findin' and huntin' out dis tasteful things we'll find so many of em we won't have room or time to enjoy any happiness if it comes. You can't put quart of water in a pint measure. You can't be productive or progressive if you're not happy, an the way to be happy is to be happy tolerance, forgiveness an a smile in place of fretfulness, anger an a frcwn. Great lord, it's cold this mornin.' I'll bet those polar bears are enjoyin' themselves.4

GUARDING COTTON CROP HERE
Shipments of Seed From Infected Area Held in Station at Mena.

Effects of the states quarantine against the pink boil worm have been felt in Mena and some of the local growers of cotton have found it is no easy matter to get seed for planting from forbidden areas. Agent A. Mitchell of the Kansas City Southern railroad having been notified by the state plant board to permit no ship ments of cotton seed to leave the freight house, unless such shipments bore the inspection tag of the board, has held up two shipments of seed. One is from Georgia, the other from Oklahoma. The plant board has been notified. The state authorities fear an invasion of the pink boil worm and to protect Arkansas growers has de- clared a quarantine against the ship ping in of cotton seed and by pro- ducts that have not been properly in- spected.

MINISTER SOON WILL FACE
 COURT ON MURDER CHARGE

Hot Springs, Feb. 7-Rev. Harding M. Hughes is again prisoner in the Garland county jail.
 The aged minister, who is accused of complicity in the murder of Mrs. Anna McKennon, was brought here from the state penitentiary Saturday night by Sheriff W. R. Downen.
 He will remain in the local jail un- til his trial is called at Mount Ida, which will probably be next week.
 At the courthouse, it was said that Rev. Hughes was suffering from a sore arm, resulting from vaccination before he left the penitentiary. Oth- erwise, however, his health is much improved.
