T1TY OF POTATOES EACH YEAR
-.
Thus High Priced Years Will Carry
Grower Through Low Periods.

ROEMAN, Feb. 16.-Greatest profits
in potato production come when prices
remain at a reasonable figure over a
period Of years and the producers can
assist in bringing about such a condl-
ton by being consistent in the amount
of acreage they grow annually, n the
opinion of F. M, Harrington, cxten-
sion horticulturist at Montana State
College.
Under the present scheme Of produc-
ton. he says, quite few growers let
the price one year determine their
acreage the next. As a result year
Of high prices is usually followed by a
year with high production and cores
pondingly low prices In most every
case when the price rose above So In
any one year, the year before or after
showed low price, says the horticul-
turist.
There are plenty Of natural factors
which assist in causing production
price fluctuations. Drouths, frosts,
freezes and diseases occasionally levy
heavy toll on the crop. Poor prepar-

This guide which was worked out by

servings Of vegetables are recommend
ed each day in addition to such starchy
vegetables as potatoes, corn, dried
beans and peas. One of these two serv-
ings should be a leafy vegetable or a

twice daily and one fruit or vegetable
should be served raw. Meat, fish, eggs
or cheese should be served at least
once daily. At least one serving OF

The art OF making paper from

practieed by the Chinese at very
early date. Some writer's believe that
the Chinese made such paper at least
two centuries B. G. Paper first be-
came available for the rest Of the
world about the Eighth century
through the Arabs, who learned the
art OF paper making from Chinese
prisoners captured In Asia. Before
paper was made from fbrous matter
papyrus was used for writing pur-

The Montana grower should take

There have been bad years and good

PENINSULA FERRY COMPANY
SUES PENNSYLVANIA R. R.
ASKS $50 PENALTY ON VEHIC-
LES HAULED BY r.. II. co.
Questions Right of Pennsy to Elk
tend Their Service to a General
Local Ferry Service

A penalty of $40 per vehicle and
passenger transported by the Penn
sylvania Railroad in local traffic
between Norfolk and Cape Charles
since the Inauguration of service
by the Peninsula Ferry Corpora
ton last March is asked in a suit
against the railroad filed by the
ferry company in Northampton
Circuit Court Friday. The PENN
sula Ferry Corporation holds that
the Pennsylvania Railroad is not
an authorized ferry operator, but
can haul passengers and vehicles
between Norfolk and Cape Charles
only in conjunction with its rail-
road service Two suits brought
by the ferry company against the
railroad already are pending in
Federal Court, one seeking an in
junction to restrain the railroad
from operating a local ferry ser
vice and the other seeking relief
from allegedly unfair advertising.
A hearing on the two suits has
been delayed pending decision in
the suit of the Pennsylvania Rail
road against the ferry company to
test the validity of the ferry fran
chise granted the Peninsula cor
poration in Northampton Circuit
Court. The State Supreme Court
of Appeals refused last Wednesday
to grant a writ of error in a judg-
ment of the Northampton court up
holding the franchise. Now that
the validity of our franchise is
settled" c. w. Harrison, president
of the Peninsula Ferry Corporation
said, we are hopeful of an early
hearing on our two petitions in
Federal Court" In this latest
suit, the ferry company claims that
if its suit for an injunction is sus-
tanned and that if the court holds
the Peninsula Ferry Corporation is
the only legal ferry operating be-
tween Norfolk and Cape Charles it
is entitled to damages for local
traffic handled by the railroad
steamers since the ferry company
begun operation. Accordingly, its
new suit asks for $40 for each pas
senger and vehicle transported in
local traffic between the two points
since March.

LEGION AUXILIARY IN SMYRNA
ORGANIZE GIRL SCOUT TROOP
FIRST ORGANIZATION IN THE
STATE SOUTH WILMINGTON
Starts Off With a Growing Mem
bership in Charge of Mrs. Evelyn
Pussy and Miss Carolyn Stats

The American Legion Auxiliary,
which has been very active in the
past few weeks making plans for
the organization of a Girl Scout
Troop for Smyrna and community,
have organized a unit here in
charge of Mrs. Evelyn Stokesbury
Pussy and Miss Carolyn Stats as
( leaders. Promise of a growing
membership is had. 1t is believed
that there is a fertile field in the
Smyrna community for this type
Of activity. The Girl Scouts, a ma
tional association, is non-sectarian
and non-partisan. Any girl be
tween the ages of ten and eighteen
years who voluntarily accepts the
Girl Scouts promise and laws, may
1 become a Girl Scout by passing
! the Tenderfoot test and paying her
annual dues of SOC to National
HEADQUARTERS. The Girl Scouts
motto is BE Prepared" and her
slogan do a Good Turn Daily.
The activities revolve around out
door living, housekeeping, hygiene
and community service, aiming
through these to develop character
and happiness. Happiness is the
birthright of every child and good
! health contributes to happiness
! Girl Scouting takes the girls out in
7 the open, hikes with them, teaches
them woodcraft, camping and
swimming. 1t teaches them the
fundamental rule of hygiene, such
as wholesome food, fresh air, exer-
else and cleanliness. Handicraft
of many sorts enter into the pro
gram Of the Girl Scouts Among
the fields in which merit badges
are awarded are business, home
making, home nursing, nature, out
door sports and photography. The
Auxiliary feel that they can do nc
greater service for the community
than offering such opportunities
for the training and enjoyment OF
the young girls. Under the capable
leadership of Mrs. Evelyn Stokes
bury Pusey and Miss Carolyn
Stats, with the loyal and enthus.
iastic support of the following
committeewoman: Mrs. w. o. Hof.
fecker, Mrs. V. Lay Phillips, Mrs
w. E. Matthews, Jr., Miss Octavie
Bartlett, Mrs. Elmer Corrie, Mrs
Harvey Wright, the Auxiliary pre-.
diets a very successful and ener-
getic troop. They urge the whole.
hearted support of every one tt
help make this new endeavor the
success that it deserves. Cooper
alton between parents, officers ant
community will make this possible
1t is expected the final arrange
ments will soon be made and the
first meeting will be held within tht
next week. Any further informa
ton may be secured from the lead
ers or committeewomen.
