Urges Potato Warehouse.
"Alliance is an opportune point for a
larpe storage warehouse for seed and
table stock," said Mr. Stuhr. "Prob
ably this should when completed, be
operated on the ce-operative plan, but
in order to see that it in built, com
mercial organizations and interested
business men should assist. With such
n building1, space can be rented to the
various growers, potatoes handled and
stored in the best way and the top
!riee secured. With proper storage
facilities, the powers can hold their
crop for the better prices. The spuds
should be stored as soon as harvested
nnd sold whenever the price Justifies.
This would be an immense convenience
for the growers, for here in Box Butte
county, during the winter months, the
roaU are often in such condition that
Fpuds cannot be hauled.
"With a warehouse of sufficient
capacity, the crop from Box Butte
could be marketed in an orderly lasn
ion, and prevent glutting the market.
Jicleases from the warehouses couki De
made whenever the market ju'tmi.
Growers generally give too little at
tention to the marketing of their po
tatoes, Mr. Stuhr thinks. He believes
that with proper co-operation between
growers, and with the assistance of
progressive business men and proper
advertising, the seed potato business
can make Box Butte county known all
over the country.
"You have one of the best sections
for seed potato cultivation in the en
tire country," Mr. Stuhr says. "Cli
mate, soil end other conditions are al
most ideal."
These large potato warehouses, run
en the co-operative plan, are a com
paratively new thing, according to the
secretary. They are now to be found
in Utah, Idaho and Colorado, and are
a great success. Private firms have
established large cellars in Nebraska,
one at Morrill having a capacity of a
hundred thousand bushel..
Critical Point Now.
The potato industry is at, a critical
point now, in the opinion of C O.
Sawyer. Potatoes from other regions
have not been giving satisfactory re
sults in the south and other points
vhcre there is a big market, and the
growers there are experimenting with
lry land Kpuds, with marked success.
The results in the south have been gen
erally satisfactory, Mr. Sawyer say.
tut here and there car of poor stuff
Is sold for see, and the results are
veil advertised when" they are poor.
"Even if Box Butte county establishes
a reputation," he said,, "it can be
destroyed easily. One year of sending
out poor potatoes and the work of the
3 ears that have gone before may be al
most entirely lost, and it will be neces
sary to redevelop -the market.'- The
lJed River valley, whose fame has been
established for years, h finding it hard
:o compete with dry land potatoes
liftht now."
Mr. Stuhr points out the need for a
listinrt brand for Day I .and spuds, of
having definite standards and of ship
poing only the best stock. He points
to the success of the Buffalo brand of
the Kearney district the past season,
and declares that Box Butte can build
up the same kind of a reputation. But
in order to realize the best success,
the growers should be discouraged
from marketing any potatoes that are
not of the highest quality, and worthy
of the brand.
Caddis says never
asked to view route
(Continued from page 1)
"This route along the track would
shorten the route several miles and
would cost the county a very small
sum to fix.
"As far as work is concerned along
this road considerable of the grading
and man labor would be donated by
the farmers who live along the road
and all the county would have to put
in would be to accept the road and
build a small amount of fence.
"The farmers along this road at
present are handicapped for a good
road either to Bridgeport, Broadwater
or North port, and we do not see any
reason why this road could not be
opened for travel when there would be
practically no immediate expense.
"The farmers on the south side have
a good road, that eventually promises
to be better when it is completed, and
it is only reasonable that the farm
ers on the north side should also at
least be blessed with the opportunity
to have a more level road, a shorter
distance and a better road built on
their side. We do not mean that it
should be a state aid road, but just
a county road.
"1 he road at present makes several
unecessary turns that would be elimi
nated, a number of low spots and a
number of sandy hills would be cut
out by accepting the road that leads
along the railroad. The road along
the track being practically all heavy
sou could easily be made into a pass
able road with very little work."

American Legion Notes
"PACTS OTOPIMONS'
The CT.icaRO Tribune, wri1- !mk e'
larger circulation than any other Anv
erican morning newspaper, has con
stantly advocated the passage of the-i
Adjusted Compensation bill. Joseph
M. Patterson, one of the owners of the
Tribune, rose from a private to captain
in the Rainbow Division overseas.
Lieut Col. Medill McCormick, the
other, also served throughout the war.
The accompanying editorial appeared
in the Tribune of February 15th, under
the heading, "Buddy, Join the Legion:"
Japan has a genro. It is the class
of the elder statesmen. It is the dead
thumb of octogenarianism upon the
present Ultra conservatism always is
firoperty and age. Uncle Andrew Mel
on, Secretary of the Treasury, is a
man of much property. You hear that
ne is second or third in point of per
sonal wealth in the United States.
Uncle Andrew Mellon is head of the
American Genro. President Harding
merely comes up from somewhere, but
Uncle Andrew Mellon always existed
because what he represents and what
he thinks always has existed.
The elder statesmen are against the
soldier bonus. Uncle Andrew is against
it because the war is over and all the
values which were in danger and which
have been saved are now out of dan
ger. The soldier is an uneconomic
force except when he is needed to pre
serve me oaiance and the working
power of economic force. They are
badly disturbed whe.. a foreign gover
nor general takes control of an occu
pied territory.
Then all ordinary law3 of economic
cause and effect go out of office and
the soldier is the boy relied upon to
keep the home land functioning as it
ought to function normally. lVhen he
is needed for this economic purpose he
is invaluable because without him all
values would go to pot.
If the German soldier had been able
to carry through the plans of the Ger
man military leaders the German mark
would not be a beggar on the doorstep
of financial solvency, and if he had
been able to do the super-human,
which was required of him Uncle
Andrew Mellon's fortune might be
barely equal to a square meal.
The difference between the value of
the dollar and the value of the mark
is now the sacrifices made by the Am
erican soldier. He created that value.
If he had not done so it would have no
value? The only reason these men of
-wealth have wealth is because Ameri
can soldiers nletermined that depreciat
ed currency should be in Germany and
not in the United States.
To whom would Uncle Andrew like
to pay a small percentage of his
money ? To the American soldier who
saved him from the German tax collec
tor or to the tax collector? Buddy,
join the Legion, as your father joined
the G. A. R. and impress as a political
fact upon the elder generation that it,
is in luck and much in luck.

.Discriminating dressers who demand individuality, style
distinction and quality in their millinery, but do not care to
pay exorbitant prices, will find Gage Pattern Hats fulfill their
every requirement. Each hat has that individuality and style
distinction that only "master" milliners and creators can pro
duce. The materials used are the best the market affords.
And while they are recognized as the equal of any, and the
superior of many exclusive pattern hats, the prices are indeed
exceedingly moderate.
