Growers
Successful handling of
sacked potatoes is as
sured by the new weigh
ing device for use in con-
junction with the Bemis
Bag Rack.
The Bemis Bag Rack was de-
veloped to simplify the loading
of bags and to insure the prop
er quantity in each bag. To
meet the wishes of the more
particular shippers who desire
to actually weigh the filled
bags, we have after consultation
with several of the leading scale
manufacturers, developed a
weighing device which can be
attached to the bag rack at a
very low cost. 1t is simple,
practical and much lower in
cost than any platform scale. 1t
is not necessary to have more
than one or two scale attach
ments on the average farm. At
ter the potatoes are shipped, you
have a handy scale useful for
many other purposes.
The rack and scale attachment
greatly simplify the handling
of sacked potatoes. The pick
ers, dump their filled baskets
into the bags, through the bag
rack in the same way that they
fill barrels. Following the pick
ers two men will be able to
weigh and sew the bags. They
will lift the bags on the scale
cradle and see that the weight
is above the minimum. They
will then roll the bags off the
cradle and sew them. The COM
plete handling, weighing and
sewing takes but a few seconds
longer than it does to head a
barrel.
After the bags are weighed and
sewed they are then ready to be
loaded to the cars. Every bag
when properly packed by this
system will contain full weight.
Much has been said and should
be said about inspection. We
heartily endorse the idea of
careful inspection. Potatoes in
bags are easily inspected. If
the inspection is done at the
car, the Inspector should be
supplied with one bag rack and
an empty bag. He can place
the empty bag on the rack. He
can then. open up the filled bag
to be inspected, lift it. with the
assistance of one man) and
empty half of it in the empty
bag on the rack. He can then
inspect both half filled bags and
then empty the remainder into
the bag that is on the rack.
Then he will simply have to re-
lease the bag from the rack and
sew it up and use the bag so
emptied for inspecting the next
lot.
The time for action is drawing
near. Many growers have COM
pleted their plans and have ar
ranged for their supply of bags,
racks, Irvine, needles, etc. 1t is
possible there will be a great
demand from those who wait
until the last minute to decide.
We urge that you decide now to
ship at least half of your crop
in bags and arrange now for
your supplies. The necessary
accessories cannot be made ov-
ernight and we know it will
profit you to decide now and
proceed to make the necessary
arrangements.

CODY BOYS SWAMP
BYRON HI SCHOOL
Win Third Contest of Season by
Playing the Game of Which
They are Capable.

The Cody high school basket bal
team Won a game from Byron last
night, making the third game to re-
suit in its favor this season. The
winners played real basket ball, and
demonstrated that when team friction
is eliminated, and the boys put forth
their best efforts they can make the
best teams in the circuit hustle to
beat them.
The final score was 1G to 4, Brown
making four baskets and one free
throw, Larson two baskets and a free
throw, and Wilson one basket. Hal
and ICELAND started at the guard po-
s%itions, Brown at center, and Wilson
and Larson at the forward stations
Late in the game, Osborne was sub.
stituted for Brown, Coggswell fol-
Larson, Edwards for Wilson, and vii,
son for Hall.
The boys showed more team work.
more accuracy, and better spirit, and
the fair-sized crowd present was sat,
isfied with their exhibition.

Well, Here's Hoping,
Boys, We're With You

The boys from the Basin high
school came to town last Friday and
in order to sustain the Cody teams
almost undefiled record of defeats for
this season, administered an artistic
drubbing to Coach Cheeseman's prot
eyes, the story of the defeat being
etncompassed in the figures 10 to 4.
The local boys simply weren't playing
basketball, and the less said about the
affair the better. The Cody boys are
young, handsome, and potentially cap
able, however, and hope to be able to
place the winning figures on their
side of the score board at least once
OF twice more before the inglorious
season ends. In this endeavor they
have the moral support of the COM
munity, and with a few well directed
prayers on their own account, and ex-
traordinary physical exertions, they
may be able to achieve their ambi-
ton. Here's hoping, as they used to
say in the interpretation days.

Can't Shoot Elk, So
Better Not Try 1t!

Chas. ]. James, forest ranger at
Painter, is on the wal path. Not
wildly and savagely, however, but
mildly determined to correct an i'm
preston that elk are being shot by
hunters neal Sunlight. In last weeks
issue of the Enterprise an item stat
ed that hunting was good at Sunlight,
and also that elk could be seen almost
any time near the old Reesher ranch.
Some people inferred from the article
that the aid was off" as far as elk
was concerned, and communicated
this erroneous belief to Ranger James.
The story in the Enterprise did not
say that elk could be shot, nor that
they were being shot, but in crIer to
help Ranger James correct the fool
ish impression, it gladly publishes this
paragraph. The widespread story is
just another proof hat the Enter
prise cover this district like a blan-
ket, and the same circulation is now
utilized to correct the belief that elk
are being shot in the district coming
under Ranger James jurisdiction.

which will be given in the Temple
theatre Friday night, regardless of the
fact that it falls on the thirteenth as
well as on Friday.
The Eagles have been putting in a
good many extra hours preparing for
the dance, and they say that the per-
son who attends and who doesn't have
a good time must have something
wrong with his or her social mechan-
ism. Ladies free, men one dollar.
Cheap enough, the Eagles say. when
you consider the genuine pleasure
you will get from it. And, everybody

CUTTING CORNER
Of BANK FUTILE
Effort May be Made to Improve
Gulch Roadway Get Some
State Money.

Street Commissioner Arnold has
finished cutting away portions of the
bank at the top of the hill where Pat
Florida made his fatal plunge about
ten days ago. A big volume of earth
was removed, but it became evident
that it would not be possible to i'm
prove the condition of the hill to a
satisfactory extent, and it was not
considered advisable to expend more
money doing this work. While the
town council has not yet committed
itself in the matter, it seems to be ap-
parent to that body that the sensible
solution will be to improve the road
way up the gulch. 1t is understood
that state money will be available for
the latter road, but the state frowns
upon roads like the one now under
condemnation, and no money from
that source could possibly be obtained.

Enterprise Will be Official
Paper Two More Years

The Cody Enterprise has been made the official county
paper for two more years, the award having been made by the
county commissioners during the meeting of the board which
ended last Wednesday,. 1t was the sense of the board that the
service rendered by the Enterprise, in conjunction with the
Powell Tribune, was eminently satisfactory, and that from the
further standpoint of distribution of the county printing. there
was not a sufficient reason to make a change. So. for the
next two years, the proceedings of the county commissioners
will appear in full in the Enterprise, and every person who
wishes to be advised in regard to the countys business in
detail should continue to be listed among the long list of
satisfied Enterprise subscribers.
