legislation would be passed for the
present.
AS explained at the White House,
the presidents attitude is that the
administrations hold on the situation
would be strengthened if it had as a
foundation the potential power to
take over a single railroad or a sys-
tenn of carriers, a single mine or a
series Of mines or mining properties
which had been shown clearly to have
failed to render the public full SER
vice.
Mr.. Harding, it was declared, today
believed that the bituminous coal in
dastry was working out its own prob
lelm under the impetus of the practi-
cal settlement reached at Cleveland,
and held further that the anthracite
strike would be settled shortly.
Should this forecast be borne out
by developments, it was said at the
White House, the railroad tangle
would be left as the only industrial
knot of great Importance, and in this
connection the administration policy
as outlined today was said to be con
structed on a strict enforcement Of
existing laws which guarantee safety
of life and property and maintenance
of necessary public service.

places during the harvesting and
shipping of potatoes. The inspect
ors will, il requested to do so, go into
the fields and inspect the POTATOES be-
fore they are sacked, to give an opin-
ion upon the grading being done.
G. E. Sine was selected by those
present as temporary chairman Of the
organization, after the meeting had
been called to order by Chris Mikkel-
son, who explained the purpose Of
the meeting. County Agent Bodley
gave a short talk explaining the sit

growers, and the need of co-opera-
ton among them for better returns.
A committee consisting of Ray Bor-
der, Chris Mikkelson and L. M. Con-
slant was appointed to draw up a sci

mittee will meet at the office of the

without any question, be depended upon to act
with judgment in the coming session.
So far, the returns from the state at large
seem to indicate that Riddick and Wheeler will
be the choice of the people as candidates for the
United States senate. There be nothing def
mite at this time, as there are but meager returns
from which to make deductions Should these
two be the choice of Montana voters for the i'm
portant office, it will indicate that the progressive
influences so evident in the eastern elections this
year has reached Montana. The choice of the
voters will be made between men who have serv-
ed in the state in important offices, whereby their
ability to serve as United States senators has
been shown.
However, the vote may got may prove to
be different when they are all counted-the peo-
pie of Montana have shown by the size of the
vote cast at the primaries, that they are inter-
ested in who shall hold office in their state. There
were more votes cast at the primaries in Gallatin
county this election than in the two previous
primary elections. This increased interest, nc
doubt, was brought about through the attempt tc
repeal the primaries. 1t has awakened the voters
to the sense of responsibility which rests upon
them in the choosing of men to perform the work
of administering the affairs of the state. II
shows that the primary election of candidates il
the method which the voters want, and that
conventions are gone forever.

GROWERS
FORM ASSOCIATION
Meeting Held at Which Time Grow
ers Decide to Organize for
Better Product.

Pc 5ato growers OF Gallatin county
last Thursday evening perfected a
ten 70rary organization, which VIII
BECOME permanent as soon as con-
stitution and bylaws are drafted
There were about 80 potato grow
ers at the meeting, which was held
in the court house, all of whom were
enthusiastic over the prospects OF
bringing the industry to a standard
ization pf production.
Commissioner of Agriculture Ches-
ter C. Davis was in attendance at
the meeting, giving a very compre-
hensive discussion of the potato
growing situation as it exists in the
state at the present time; also out
lining the condition throughout the
United States. Mr.. Davis stressed
the three important points in sue
cessful potato growing necessary to
bring to the producer the best re-
turns. In his discussion ne impressed
the hearers that the chief requisite
in potato growing is quality.
A standard of one Or two varieties
is necessary for growers, Mr.. Davis
stated, because of the greater amount
Of product which can be marketed
under gon organization. 1t is neces-
sary also for the growers to- determ-
inc the method of disposing of pro-
duction, whether to do so as individ-
uals or as an organization. He
strongly recommended the forming
of an organization for the greater
benefit each grower will derive there
from. Selling through some agency
already established, with a reputa-
ton for integrity in their dealings
was advised by Mr.. Davis. In max
ing a contract for selling, details fol
loading and cost of getting the pota-
toes into the cars should be carefully
looked into.
A field demcnstrasion of potato
grading will be carried on this fall
by the State Department of Agricult,
ure, in cooperation with the fedora
department. These demonstration
will be held at various points within
the county, so that growers from
every district will have an opportuni
ty TO study the methods employed il
: successful potato marketing. Tn
demonstrations will be held during
the month of September, and Count.
Agent Bodley will work with tn
demonstrators throughout the county
Mr.. Davis informed those presen
: that there will be inspectors statione
at Willow Greek, Manhattan, Boze
