SCENES 'ATTENDING COUNTY'S DISTRIBUTION OF SEED POTATOES
"Tou'd think potatoes were gold dol
lars," .grumbled an elderly man, after
be had stood in line in the courthouse
lobby until the thing he wanted most,
next 'to his own "sack of spuds," was a
place to sit down.
"Can't I get a little farther up In the
line?" petitioned a little mother, who,
unable to leave her youngsters at
- home, had brought the three of them
along. "I so wanted to get back In
time to' plant my potatoes this eve
ning," she pleaded.
The hour set Monday for distribution
of the county's seed potatoes was 2
o'clock. If anyone was tardy. County
Agriculturist S. B. Hall and his as
Klstant, R. J. Werner, did not know' of
it. ' Before the big loads had been
brought from the county farm on
trucks, the use of which was generous
ly donated by the Northwest Auto com
pany, applicants for the seed on the
"measure for measure" basis announced
in The Journal last week had begun to
, crowd around the courthouse. Would
be gardeners, running the gamut from
. age to childhood, waited anxiously with
baskets and sacks and every other form
of container one could think of.
- The county agriculturist started to
pass on all the applications himself, re
ferring to alphabetical lists of those
who had applied through The Journal.
But it was soon seen that the process
.would take all the rest of the day, so
.County Purchasing Agent Nelson came
'-to his assistance, and finally C. W." La-
' mar volunteered for work, so that the
applications were disposed of as rap
idly as references could be consulted.
Each eligible person signed an agree
ment to return at digging time as many
potatoes as he received in seed, and
.With these little slips of paper as their
- authority they went -to the trucks and
were supplied. It had been said that
, no one could secure more than a sack,
' so many were the applicants, but the
amount was soon reduced to 50 pounds.
Tha first one to receive potatoes
i.undjsr the novel distribution plan was
tMrs. J. A. Austin of 155 East Seventy
ninth street. Eighty-four hundred
i-pounds of potatoes were distributed.

aside. $2,000,000 to 22,500,000 as an

day with legislative leaders as to the

i, no serious objection te this measure,
which is thO only defense council bill
v the legislature will be asked to act
'"upon.
It is probable that $1,000,000 or 21,
, 500,000 will be voted for the defense
'guard fund and In addition to this the
