Mr.. and Mrs. G. e. Mafr and
family stopped at the auto park
last night on their way home aft
er having travelled through the
Yellowstone park, down to Colo
RADIO to visit relatives, and then
west via the southern route to
California and then north. The
trip was started the middle of
June. as soon as the children were
out of school.
Being quarantined for nearly
three weeks was the lot of the
Marrs. At Needles, California, the
first town in California after
crossing the California Arizona
line two of the girls, Lillian and
Catherine. began to complain of
being i'll. Mr.. Marr thought that
it was only a little touch of stom-
ach trouble so continued toward
Long Beach. When they arrived
at the coast city doctor was con-
suited and it was learned that the
girls had scarlet fever. Mr.. Mari
said that it wasn't so bad because
they were right on the beach and
enjoyed the ocean. The girls were
not seriously i'll so the whole af-
fair meant a three weeks longer
vacation. The party expect to be
in Spokane before noon tomorrow
so that the children will be reauy
to start to school on Thursday.
Mr.. Mari is the owner of a
chain of 26 stores in Spokane.

CERTIFIED SEED BEST

Growers and jobbtrs alike are be-
ginning to appreciate the value of GER
tilted Triumph Irish potato seed, espe-
cially in Louisiana, and for this rea-
son the standard is being raisel and the
production per acre increased" said
]. G. Milward. professor of horticul.
ture Of Wisconsin, acting field agent
for the United States Department Of
Agriculture. who arrived in Baton
Rouge tuesday, preparatory to making
tour of the potato7growing section of
Louisiana in company with specialists
from the extension department and ex-
pertinent stations Of the University.
In the Hammond section certified
fields were found that are yielding from
$50 to 400 bushels on an acre, while
in some instances the ordinary mon
grel sock has been practically fail
ure. 1t must be understood, however,
says Professor Milward, that better
growing and cultural methods should
be prachced it the best results are to
be obtained:
The jobbers report that there will
be an increase in demand for certified
stock next season. especially in the
Tangipahoa sections. Twenty-Five cars
of potatoes. were hauled during 1922,
due to the effort put forth by G. L. Tie
bout, horticulturist Of the extension de-,
partment. This is the first year that
the trade has ever recognized the GER
tilted potato over any other kind. All
Of this has been brought about by ed
ucational campaigns conducted by the
extension departments and experiment
stations, thinks Professor Milward.
Professor Milward left Baton Rouge
for Alexandria, accompanied
by Mr.. Tiebout and DR.. c. w. Edger-
ton, experiment station. to study the tu-
Der characteristics Of the different lots

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE
FIRST STEP NOW
(BY Henrr ZOE i Dearbon Indep,nLl |


(By Henry Ford in Dearborn Indep'nl)
A man is never so certain to be right
as when he stands on principles, and
he never has so many chances to be
wrong as when he goes in for person
allties. The descent to details. except
in the thing next to be done, is always
fraught with danger. The thing pro-
posed to be done is either good or not
good for the immediate place or task.
When we go farther than that we are
in danger of entering the realm Of un-
truth.
It is very significant that most Of the
impeding disagreements among the
people have nothing to do with the
thing Immediately at hand, but with
future extensions of theory or a pro-
gram which no one knows will be the
best theory or program when future
tasks are reached.
To take an illustration: There were
probably never so many minds exer-
cised about our money system as there
are to-day Judging from the mail of
one office, there are tens of thousands
of people in this country who have dis
covered that a system which once sexv-
ed as an aid has now become an OBJ
stacle. In the most unexpected places
there is exhibited an amount of zeal
and labor on this problem which cannot
but mean great good to the country at
large.
One characteristic. however, is quite
prominent in all this work: the minds
thus exercised have run ahead Of the
actualities and have spun out Of logic
and imagination scores and hundreds
of complete theories and systems which
lock forward to a thousand years of
practice. With few exceptions, each
laborer in this field has spun his own
system which he is ready to put into
operation, tomorrow morning, it given
the opportunity.
Now, when most of these proposed
systems leave the facts Of to-day and
soar into the long future, they take diff
ferent tracks. They begin their work
almost at the same point, but diverge
as they extend it. Then they fall to
arguing with each other, because the
far-future phases Of their schemes do
not agree. No one of them knows what
the future condition is to be, not one
of them knows whether his system will
meet the needs of the changed future,
they only think so; that is, they only
imagine SO, and because their imagin-
ations differ, they are separated into
