The first In the low price offer Ml by the buyers and middlemen and the neeond Is the cold weather which prevents hauling without danger of freezing. Potato men of the state of Washing ton want a standard grading law. Efforts are being made by carload shippers of potatoes, assisted by some of the leading growers of the tate, to secure the enactment of com pulsory state grading rules at the coming session of the Washington legislature. W. M. Tease, of the Turner-Venae Co.. Wholesale butter and rct and pioneer house of Went m avenue, has consented to intro duce the bill and to sponsor it should a fight develop. It is claimed rrom the marketing end of the trade that state erading rules is the one thing needed to place the market of this State on a high level to bring bent prices to grower and lowest to eon snmers. Unite! States standard grading rules, it Is stated, will be used. It in probable that a system of Inspection under state supervision, possibly by officers now at work in the Depart ment of Horticulture, will be neces sary to Insure proper branding of sacks and other containers It has been agreed that the government rules will work no hardship, but will eliminate much stock'tbat is unfit for human consumption that now Roes into sacks either to be sold with other spuds ','as is" or graded out, at loss by the Jobbers. In raising and Insuring the standards the consumer would get more good stock, resulting in a reduced approximate cost, while Increased demand in shipping and other centers' would produce gradu ally higher returns to the groweia, it Is believed by dealers. The resuHs of grading rules in Washington apples are beng pointed out in support of the measure, Chicago Shipment DecrcaMe CHICAGO -The Packer reports that in uptte of the fact that last week not up to normal production this year was Thanksgiving week the potato J Kstimutes of potatoes still held by market was in better condition than I growers are from 100 to 120 cars.

Per haps the lightest dally shipment since the beginning of the movement of the late potato crop was that of last Mon day when but approKlmatelT 280 cars were moved By far "the greater por tion of the potato holdings are in the hands of the grower, and, Inasmuch as he now has them under cover, he shows no particular desire to sell heavily at this time which accounts fur the decreased movement. Complaints are coming from some! sis lions to the effect tliiri snippers .K untitle to obtain an adequate sup ply of cars but a car shortage does not as yet appear to be general There Is, however, more or less complaint ftfcOUl the character of the refrlgera- tor esfl which are oeing suiw'neo potato dipping trade as many of them are reported to be in need or repairs.

Omi of sacked round and long whites sold locally brought abou-l the same prices as bulk stock, although occa sionally the best carB sold up to$1.75 On Hales to the outside trade a pre mium of 5 10c was generally paid for sacked stock. Minnesota and Ne braska No. 1 sacked early Ohlos brought $1.70 Iff 180. Receipts were Hi can and there was atotal of 303 cars in the inner and oirter yards. In view of the holiday following, the market Wednesday was rather easy, but prices were practically un changed. An exception to this was that bulk white stock was quotable nbout Tc lower. ew receipts for the day were 61 cars. The total number of carsn both the Inner and outer yardB had been futher reduced, num bering 270. Thursday there was no trading be cause of the holiday. ' Friday the market was practically unchanged with a fair demand re ported. Reoelpts, in view of the fact that they were for -two days, were rather light totaling only about 80 cars.

In compiling figures of eompoj hi iv statement of production for the year 1917 and 1918, Mr. W B, Spencer manager, finds that th output and snle of "Diamond" butt" will thlB year exceed that of last by ut leas: 100,000 pounds. This gain on the average annui.l production of nhnut one-half million pounds is in deed a splendid gain, and if figure, at an average price of sixty cents per pound, it means that $60,000 ad dltlonal revenue has thus been diver ted to the' business channel of Alii ance and western Nebraska, Along with the showing made In this department the company has en joyed a great business for Its other products, artificial ice and ice cream. "Cream shipments are a little stronger than normal," said, Mr Spencer, "and with the present higti price of cream the fnrmer and dairy man should market every pound possible." The company is paying this week, 69c per pound f:tr butter fat delivered at the cremery here and thereby the people of the com munity again have a decided advant age. Without the creamery at this place they would receive only such an umount as would enable the buy ers to pay transportation charges, cost of handling and a resonable com mission for their services. In other words the people of Box Butte county who market their products in Alli ance receive from four to five cents per pound above that received by those who reside in localities where the cream must be handled severul times before reaching the creamery. And at the same time, they are help ing build up the Community by co operation with ts DOIlBtfM interests. The Alliance Creamery Is already one of the big manufacturing con cerns of this section of the state and Its stride forward is remarkable. Responsible for this progress is the spirit of cooperation always shown by the management and -the fair, square treatment accorded those who ire the producers and who are at the same time rapidly developing the dairy business of western Nebraska. Secretary W. D. Fisher of the Al liance Community Club is now busy perfecting plans for the staging of the first Automobile show to be Ireld in western Nebcaska at Alliance early next year. Temporary arrangements provide for the holding of the exhibi tion in the new. garage building of the Coursey & Miller firm on West Third stree. Those interested propose a dis play of motor care that will be second to none. Pleusure cars of every des cription, as well as motor trucks of all sizes, are to be shown and their virtues from the spark plugs to the starting and lighting devices explain ed. And, last but not least by any means, an opportunity for Alliance U coiwince the nfi nufaeturer.i of Ks ad vantages as a distributing center for an important and growing industry. Western Nebraska will look forward to the coming of the event which should henceforth become an annual affair. SANTA CLAUS IS COMING!

This ruling is of course, subject to such reasonable regulations in the way of requiring the teachers to make up a portion of the time as the local boards ma deem advisable. For some time the question -jf whether or no the teachers were to receive remuneration for this lost time has been under discussion.
