The advance in the potato market
and the near approach of spring
weather baa been the cause of con
siderable activity in Box Dutte coun
ty spuds during the prist two weeks.
Purine this time, or since March 24,
there baa been sh'pped from this
place a total of fifty-eight full car
load shipments. These were con
signed principally to Lincoln com
mission firms. Omaha got three
Mn, St. Louis two and Kansas City
' one. A total of twenty-nine loads
rent to firms in smaller market cen
ters, among which were Wichita,
Kansas, and Oklahoma cKles. In
(bis total of fifty-elg't carloads ts
DOt Included the local shipments
made, which have been extensive
during this time.
Chicago Market Shows Advance
Chicago'. The potato market last
week gained a little strength In spite
of the fact that receipts were excep
. (tonally heavy, according to The
Packer. It' is believed among pota
to operators that the outlook for the
April potato market Is very favora
ble because of the opinion that the
liberal movement is drawing heavily
upon the supply remaining In the
producing sections. No marked in
crease la looked for during the pres
ent months, but rather a steadily Im
proving condition. The Thursday
market was up about Ave cents. Red
lUver Early Ohios were quoted at
11.95 and Idaho Russets at 12.25.
Kansas City. Following last
week's gains, the potato market ad
vanced 10 and 16c during the last
five days and maintained a good
movement throughout. Shipping
point information Indicates light
baullng and loading In practically
every district except Idaho. The
higher prices have curtailed the buy
ing to a small extent, but demand re
.mains sufficient to move all arrivals
promptly. Red River Ohios and
Russets are moving In the largest
volume.
Last Wednesday's quotations on
No. 1 sacked stock in carlo! s f. o. b.
Kansas City were as follows: Red
River Ohios $2 and $2.10 per cwt. :
Western Red McCiures $2.10 and
$2.20 per cwt.; Western Whites
$1.90 and $2 per cwt.; Nebraska
Early Ohios $1.80 and $1.90 per
cwt.; Western KusBets $2.20 and
.110-Dec cwt.
Potato plantings in the Kaw Val
ley has been hindered slightly by wet
weather, but reports generally Indi
cate that practically all of the plant
ing will be done by the end of this
week. With the seed demand from
that section practically over .Red Ri
ver Ohios are being worked off for
table stock at lower prices.
Los Angeles. The potato market
hows advanced prices as a result of
strong demand and light receipts.
Stockton Burbanks are running gen
erally good in quality, with extra
fancy sacked stock quotable at $3.50
per cwt. and fancy at $3 per cwt.
Idaho Russets, with the general
quality and condition only fair, are
moving on a level of $2.60 and $2.75
per aacked cwt. Rurals hold a level
of $2.25 per cwt. New homegrown

Portland, Ore. The potato trade
increased In volume to a very con
siderable extent during last week all
through the Pacific Northwest and
specially In the Portland section
Was the growing volume of ship
ments noticeable. Confirmed sales
of Oregon fancy stock at country
points were shown around $1.60 per
cwt. f. o. b. cars during the middle
of the week. Many California buy
ers were in the field for supplies, but
most of them were trying to pur
chase at lower prices than offered by
others. The only demoralizing fea
ture shown in the potato trade was
that the government was reported to
be ready to offer liberal stocks of
tubers which it had purchased some
months ago on contract. However,
ren this failed to check the bullish
ness of. the present situation.

VICTORY LOAN MUST
BE BROADLY POPULAR
Workers Shonld IHsxIpate Popular
t Impivftlon That Hanks Will
Carry Ilurden
Now that congress has passed that
bill authorizing the flotation of the
Victory Liberty Loan, too much em
phasis cannot be attached to the
statement recently made by Secre
tary of the Treasury Glass, urging
that the forthcoming loan be popu
lar In the same sense as those that
preceded it.
This loan, In order that the great
est good should bo accomplished,
must be popular In every sense of
the word. It would be unfortunate
Indeed If the people were to assume
that the banks are expected to ab
sorb this last offering that marks the
close of the financial burden to be
borne by the American people be
cause of the world war.
The financial situation, as well as
the business situation, is dependent
upon as wide a distribution as pos
sble of the government borrowings.
Every man should know that the
principal functions of banks are
those that they are now performing,
purchasing the short time Treasury
Certificates of Indebtedness issued
by the Government In anticipation of
the Fifth Liberty Loan.
The proceeds of the Ffth Liberty
Loan will come from the people and
be available for the payment of these
short time Certificates of nldebted
nesB, thus releasing bank funds for
the use of industry and agriculture
and, perhaps, for a later use In as
sisting the Government again in pur
chasing future short time Treasury
bills In case they should be offered.
It s essential that the chairman of.
the local War Loan organisations
throughout the entire Tenth Federal
Reserve District, and other workers
connected with the organization, Be
familiar with and know the stuatlon
as It exsts, and t should serve to re
mind each Liberty Loan worker that
the general public be as fully in
formed and be as thoroughly con
vinced, as he is.
The greatest misfortune that could
befall this country, next to losing the
war, would be for the Victory Liber-
Ity Loan to fail.

Oklahoma County Out for Rabbits
Beaver county, Oklahoma, started
a seven days' drive on jack rabbits
January 27. Fifty prizes, ranging
from 1 to 50, were to be awarded
to the stockmen accounting for the
largeBt numbers of scalps. The coun
ty agent reports that the jack rab
bits annually damage the local crops
of wheat, grain, sorghum, Mexican
beans, cantaloupes, and the like, to
the amount of 150,000 to $75,000.
Hunts and drives are held each win
ter, and although thousands of the
rabbits are killed, new hordes soon
appear. ' A Hutchinson (aKns.) con
cern is dressing and shipping large
numbers of jack rabbits to eastern
cities where there is a good demand
for them. The county pays a bounty
of 3 cents a scalp n order to promote
the extermination of the pests.
Patriotism is not something that
can be laid on a shelf to be brought
out and unfurled for some special
ceremony. It doesn't mean cheering
while the band is playing the "Star
Spangled Banner" and slipping out
of the back door while the collection
is being taken. "To be a sure enough
