rami xmmmm
T A queer deal was pulled off by
Jack Dunn and Jakey-Atz, the
Baltimore and Providence man
agers, recently. They were talk
ing about Pitcher Pierce. "How
much would you give for him?"
"asked Atz. "Oh. I wouldn't go
higher than 15 cents." came back
Dunn.
"Taken." said Atz, and he made
out an agreement, which both
managers signed. . Dunn bunded
over the 15 cents. . Atz looked at
It for a moment and then said:
"Here, Jack; I've never skinned
any one yet. Take this back and
I'll give you a bonus of 15 cents."
The Providence owners, how
ever, refused to ratify the agree
ment. NTERFRISE

Where the Minister Was Wrong.
"The minister prayed at my bed
side," said the gentle old lady. "He
thanked the Lord for giving me so
much patience to bear my afflictions,
'but I told him 1 didn't have a spark
of patience. What I did have were
friends and kindly visitors and flow
ers and fruit and tender messages
sent in every day to tell me that folks
cared about me still. It wasn't my
patience that carried me through: It
was the goodness of other people."

As a result of the continued good
Southern demand and a more general
disposition to sell on the part of the
farmers, Oregon potatoes now are
moving more freely than war the case
a week or a month ago. Buyers for
the distant markets report trade in
the country still lighter than usual
at this time of the year, but the out
look now is for a more active move
ment from this time on to the end of
the season.
"The growers are beginning to rea
lize that it would be poor policy to
hold oft the market altogether now
and later unload in such a way a3 to
break it altogether," said a dealer.
"The farmers can now get fair prices
for all the good stock they care tfljiis
pose of from $1 to $1.25 a hundred
for Burbanks, according to quality
and there is no doubt that by mod
erate selling they can take care of
the market.
"On the other hand, if the growers
were to maintain their bullish attitude
and refuse to sell, and a month or two
later suddenly dec.de to let go, the
chances are that the market would go
completely to pieces. We would not
advise too free selling at this time,
but it is clearly the course of wisdom
for the farmers now to dispose of a
part of their holdings in order that the
surplus toward the end of the season
may not be so heavy as to overburden
the market."
Practically all the potatoes now go
ing out are being sent to California,
Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Cali'
fornia, however, is taking only strictly
fancy stock, for that state is still well
supplied with . the cheaper grades of
home-grown products. In the states
on the Mexican border the prospect
is for a continued fair demand for
Oregons, and local dealers say there
is no doubt that the surplus in this
state can be disposed of in the few
months that remain of the present sea
son ,if the crop is wisely marketed.
In some quarters the belief prevails
that prices will gradually improve as
the season advances.
