5000 Bushels Po-
tatoes Ordered Bought

The Maryland State Department of
Markets has advised County Agent G..
q. Keller, of Somerset, that the State
Relief Administrator has been author
lied to purchase $4,000 bushels of
white potatoes in Maryland.
These potatoes are needed immed-
lately. They may be used by the Re-
lief Administration either in the coun-
ty in which they originate, or in some
other part of the State or in Balti-
more.
The price which will be paid to the
grower will be at the rate of 20 cents
bushel delivered f. o. b. cars at the
nearest railroad station, or to the To-
cal County Relief headquarters. This
price is equivalent to the approximate
delivered price of similar stock as of
today's quotation on the Baltimore
market. All potatoes purchased must
be grown in Maryland; must be u. S.
No. graded, properly certified by Ii
censed inspectors, and preferably pack
ed in sacks Of 100 lb capacity.
Farmers who may still have some
OF the last years crop Of potatoes may
be interested in the above offer.

as his argument.
When the Cabinet members and the
Senate had left, Speaker Byrns had
much difficulty in bringing the House
to order. Scattered shouts Of "vote, -
which began with the departure of
the President, became more numerous.
"There is so much noise, so much
confusion" the Speaker shouted, chat
it will be impossible to proceed until
we have order"
Even before order was restored com
pletely the Speaker brought the bill
up for it's test vote.
The veto if sustained in the Senate,
as seems probable, will not according
to the opinion of some, be brought up
again, during the present session OF
Congress; but it is almost surety
that it will come up again for con-
sideration with likely successful is
