DRYING FIELDS
SPEED TRUCK
Potato Market Strong AS
Result of Rain; Cabbage
Demand Better

Drying fields were reflected in
the increased movement Thursday
from the Valley of vegetables, 187
carr having been reported shipped
by the railroads.
However buyers were encouraging
farmers not to gather vegetables
unless necessary as 1t was believed
the quality would be improved by
allowing the ground to become
dryer.
The potato market was described
as very strong and "snappy and
shippers were encouraged to believe
that the present price of $2.25 per
hundred cash to the grower could
be maintained. The Rio Grande
Potato Association price was $2.75
regular terms or $3.50 cash track.
The present demand was des-
cribed as a weather market, occa-
stoned by curtailed shipments be-
cause of the rain.
The cabbage market also had
shown slight Improvement and al
though the price to grower re-
NAMED at So per ton there was a
fair demand. Little optimism il
felt over the situation generally as
South Carolina, strong competitor
of the Valley. and Alabama have a
considerable crop ready to flood the
market.
Shipments Friday included mixed
vegetables IS cars, beets 10, carrots
%, beets and carrots "a. cabbage At.
onions z, potatoes %, beans z
freight. 4 express, parsley 1.
Total shipments were 1860 cars
compared to 14,565 the same date
last season. These figures included
1929 cars of fruit for the present
season and 1146 last year.

WHO RULES CHILDREN,
PARENTS OR TEACHERS

LONDON.-Do parents or teach
ers have responsibility for pupils
outside of school hours? The high
court Of England has decided that
this question must be decided by
ordering the reinstatement of a
case dismissed by the magistrates
at Newport. There Walter Wright,
aged Is, was caned by his teacher
for smoking after school, though
the boy had been home and also
had his fathers permission to
smoke. The father charged the
teacher with assault and the case
was dismissed.

Stomach Disorders
First Revealed bv
Coated Tongue

Your tongue is nothing more
than the upper end of your stom-
ach and intestines. It is the first
thing your doctor looks at. 1t tells
at a glance the condition of YOUR
digestive system-and physicians
say that 900 of all sickness starts
with stomach and bowel trouble.
A coated tongue is a danger sig
nal of those digestive disorders
which lead to so many kinds Of
serious illness. It tells why the
least exertion tires you out; why
You have pains in the bowels, gas,
sour stomach, dizzy spells.
Coating on the tongue is a sign
that you need Tanlac-the medi-
cine which has helped thousands
who were physical wrecks from
stomach and bowel troubles-who
had "tried everything" in vain and
about given up hope.
Tanlac contains no mineral
druls; it is made of banks, herbs
and roots. Get a bottle from your
druggist today. Your money back

world as their ultimate reward in
the event of victory.
With Shdrkey Net1 Highlander
and Stribling DiTie born and reared,
neither is likely to relish placing his
fate in the hands OF an drbiter from
the other end of the coast, and eUen
If the MIDWEST is turned to compli-
cations may arise. 1t is conceivable,
for instance, that Dempsey might
throiU the iOeight OF his influence
against the highest ranking referee
OF that Section-Ddve (Long Count
Barry.
Suppose Shark and Strib are un-
able to get together on the queS-
ton. There is nothing in the con-
tractual papers against Dempsey
naming himself for the job, and it
is not stretching things much to
venture that il Jack is the third
man in the ring the battle would
attract about twice as many custom
ers as it otherwise would, so great
are the drawing powers OF the ex-
champion.
But-there's an insect in the salve
there. Two of them, in fact. The
first is that Sharkey never will for
get nor forgive Dempsey for blasting
him right out of his chance for
title match with Tunney when the
Manassas Mauler hung that K. 0.
on him.
1t will be recalled this happened
in the seuenth round OF that affair

Dempsey's allegedly lou blolus after
pilinQ up q big early lead. That GER
tainly t0us one time ShGrkey OUer-
INDUCED in his tGDorite indoor and
outdoor sport OF talking.
For this reason Sharkey Is I'M
likely to consent to Dempsey as ref
cree, for the Lithuanian is guaran-
teed his one hundred thousand
smackers in advance and doesn't
have to particularly concern him
self with the size Of the assemblage,
as does his opponent, who is to
work on a percentage basis.

set for Sharkey to meet the veteran
