thing in keeping seet potatoes is
to have them thoroughly dried and
then keep them where they will not
get damp or freeze. Seet potatoes
should bo cured and dried out
thoroughly before putting up and
this may be done according to any
ones own way. As broken, badly
bruised or cut potatoes are bad to
rot they should not be put up with
the others. Where potatoes are
grown in large quantities they
have curing plants where warm
dry air is forced through them and
thoroughly dries them out. They
canthen be housed in dry banks or

A farmers congress in one of the
western states complains at the
agricultural department not get-

time for the use of the bulletin has
passed. The reason for this, or
rather the cause, is politics, All
bulletins are printed by the gov-
ernment printing office and if a
politician has a speech on the tar-

he is anxious to get to the people
and if the agricultural department
has a bulletin of direct import and

that in the death of our brother,
T. F. Warden the Lodge has lost
one of its oldest members; a Ma-
son who was ever prompt and faith-
ful in the discharge of every ma-
sonic duty, and who exemplified
the sacred teachings of the order
in his daily life. For many years
he had been unable to work on ac-
count of failing health and strength
but to the end he carried with him
a love and veneration for the an-
cient landmarks of the order, and
we shall miss his words of love and
counsel and inspiration He was
bu ried by Fort Worth Lodge No.

To the loved one we extend
our sympathy in their loss; Be it
further resoved that a copy of this
resolution be submitted to the
Jacksboro News for publication,and
that a copy be entered upon the
minutes of the lodge.
