Potato Inspector
Under the terms of the potato inspection bill
passed by the last special term of legislature growers
of potatoes in Texas are offered a protection which
should be of great benefit in establishing grades and
assuring payment on proper basis for all potatoes
sold.
The bill, introduced by Polk Homaday at the re
quest of the Rio Grande Potato Growers association,
provides for the establishment of grades, the employ
ment of inspectors to grade all shipments, the mark
ing of all cars and provides a penalty for violations.
Railroads are prevented from accepting any pota
toes for shipments before they have been inspected
and graded. This applies, however, only in counties
that have established the inspection service.
Establishment of the service is at the option of the
commissioners court of each county. The county is
made liable for the pay of inspectors, but they are
appointed by the state department of agriculture.
This bill has passed the house and senate and now
Is before the governor for signature.
The effect of the measure will be to cause all po
tatoes to be sold at their true grade and will assure
the top price for all potatoes which are entitled to
that rating.
It also will be a protection to the buyers in the
markets of the nation and will prevent low grade po
tatoes being sold to wholesalers in the cities at prices
above the market for the grade being offered.
The bill requires that a certificate be nailed inside
each car by the inspector telling the grade of the po
tatoes in that car. It is made unlawful for this cer
tificate to be removed until the potatoes are unloaded.
Thus the purchaser will be able to tell exactly what
grade potatoes are being offered. Another protection
is that the grade must be marked on the bill of lading
by the railroad agent.
Thi9 will help to firmly establish the quality of
Valley grown potatoes in the markets of the United
States and help to build up a demand for the Valley
variety.
The Cameron county commissioners court is ex
pected to request the state department of agriculture
to establish the service in this county and it also
likely will be established in Hidalgo county.
Cotton Acreage Bill Put to Sleep
Texas house lawmakers put to sleep, by a vote of
71 to 44, a bill by Rep J. E. McDonald of Ellis county
and signed by 39 others, providing for a commission
to determine the maximum percentage of each farm
In Texas which might be planted in cotton each year.
In other words, the majority bludgeoned the prin
ciple of cotton acreage control.
Rep. Snelgrove of Henderson county declared any
limitation upon southern cotton growers would
strengthen the position of foreign growers in the
markets of the world.
Over-production in the cotton belt of the south
Invites lean purses and disaster. Under-production in
past years has resulted in fat purses and high pur
chasing power for the growers of the fleecy staple.
Guessing on South Texas
Corn Crops
An expert in the field of agriculture endeavor pre
dicts South Texas this year will produce the largest
corn crop in its history. He volunteers the informa
tion that South Texas lands are more adaptable to
this basic staple than the lands in any other section
of Texas. Well filled corn cribs and fat smoke houses
are reminders that the Texas of old has passed away.
A Taxi Driver Royal Purse Holder
There is a new England. There is a new Great
Britain. There is a new British empire. Ben Smith
of London was appointed treasurer of the royal house
hold of George and Mary by the labor government.
He will hold the purse strings. Ben is a labor mem
ber of the house of commons. He was a taxicab
driver until he became a law-maker of the empire.
Great Britain has a king and a queen bit Great Brit
ain is ruled by commoners. The man who occupied
the bottom rail before the coming of the world war
is seated astride of the top rail. Miracles are possible.
Liberal Aid for Rural Schools
Texas lawmakers are liberal in voting aid to the
rural schools. They fixed $5,500,000 as the amount
of rural school aid to be appropriated for the next bi
ennium. Educational facilities are not limited in
this commonwealth. There are free school houses,
free teachers, and free textbooks accessible to all who
thirst for knowledge. In addition to this the house
has agreed to a lump sum of $16,500,000 for educa
tional institutions for the two years, while the senate
held out for $17,000,000. A sure way to eliminate
bigotry and eradicate intolerance is to develop the
heads and train the hands of all the children of
all the people. There appears to be no other way.

THE AMBASSADOR AND THE FIFE
General Dawes has swung into action with his
famous pipe in London. The first engagement on
British territory resulted in a draw. The Prince of
Wales was the first to meet the general, stem to
stem and bowl to bowl. Overwhelmed by the first
broadside of soot and cinders from our ambassador’s
pocket furnace, the British flag seemed about to fall
when distinguished countrymen rallied to its support
and saved the day.
The general was compelled to call on "Big Zix”
for everything it had, and when the smoke had
cleared away he seemed willing to accept an even
break. However, he put his pipe into drydock for an
extensive overhauling, immediately after the battle,
and may return to the attack shortly.
General Dawes’ pipe may be down but it is never
out.
It all happened at a formal dinner by the British
Empire Service League. The Prince of Wales was
chairman; the American ambassador and his pipe
were invited guests. The ambassador stoked his pipe
for action immediately after dinner and lost no time
getting under way. The Prince of Wales pulled out
his trusty briar and closed smartly with the general,
but was outmatched from the start.
The prince’s pipe was merely a pipe, but the gen
eral’s first line of offense was a combination blast
furnace, 1907 Ford runabout and working model of
Vesuvius in eruption. Wales’ pipe carries fuel for
only two hours cruising, but the general’s “dudeen” is
an eight-day affair operated on the lines of an oil
burning furnace, except that it has no thermostatic
control and can be refueled from the air.
When England’s desperate position was realized,
every Englishman in the hall sprang to his pipe. They
had anticipated trouble and secreted them in their
dress clothes. Many of the men had spent four years
in the trenches and were no amateur smokers.
Sensing that the prince was on his last legs and
had begun to wither under American tobacco, they
jumped into the breach and fought fire with fire.
The tide of battle was soon turned. But General
Dawes didn’t know when he was licked. He felt over
come by fumes, but thought they were from his own
pipe.
So much smoke hadn’t been seen in England since
the great London fire.
The banquet broke up with pledges of lasting
friendship between Great Britain and America. It
just goes to show that it is impossible to stir up an
other war.

By HERBERT C. PLUMMER
WASHINGTON, July 2.—Three thousand years
ago or more King David set out to count the inhabi
tants of Israel and Judah. It took nine months and
20 days to do the job. The returns showed 1,300,000
“valiant men that drew the sword.”
That first census must have been a leisurely affair.
At least it appears so to William M. Steuart, director
of the bureau of the census, department of commerce,
who now is getting ready to count the population of
the United States.
Steuart has one month in which to enumerate
120,000,000 persons, say nothing of obtaining, in the
same period, a vast amount of information about
6.400.000 farms. 14.000 mines and quarries and more
than 100,000 irrigation and drainage projects.
• • * *
BIG JOB
Consider what that means.
The entire area of the United States must be laid
off into enumeration districts. There will be approx
imately 100,000, each to be canvassed by a single
enumerator.
In the cities these districts will comprise on the
average about 1,800 persons. The rural districts will
be smaller, but the enumerator must cover a much
larger territory and also get data for the farms.
Steuart must see that his army of 100,000 enumer
ators is selected, instructed, sworn into office and be
ready to begin work on the census day.
And after the actual count is completed he must
increase his office force in Washington from 600 to a
maximum of more than 6,000 for tabulating the re
sults.
The population count will begin early in May, 1930.
The work will cost in excess of $39,000,000.
* * # *
THE TURK SYSTEM
Steuart is confident that everything will proceed
smoothly.
“Fortunately,” he says, “the taking of the census
in this country will not be accompanied by such
scenes as were witnessed in Turkey when that coun
try’s first census was taken in 1927.
“The Turks imprisoned the entire population In
their houses on the day of the census. No one was
allowed to go out on the streets, no trains or street
cars were run. and armed guards were on patrol to
arrest anyone found at large.
“In Constantinople it was not until completion of
the census at 10:15 p. m. that the people were re
leased from their houses.”
The census bureau has grown and enlarged its ac
tivities until, at the present time, it is the largest
statistical organization in the world. The data col
lected by it is confidential and can be used only for
statistical purposes.

(NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY)
* * *
CHAPTER XXXV
Kent was in nls room reading.
When he heard Vivian's frightened
voice calling him, he ran down
stairs. 4
His conscience hurt him when he
saw her white face. He should have
stayed with her all evening after
the funeral, instead of reading in
his room.
She was ashamed to tell him she
was afraid of the storm. When she
told him what she had heard on
the radio: “Cyclone heading west,”
he ran outside and looked at the
sky. She could see that he was ex
cited when he came back in, but
tried to hide it.
“Well,” he laughed, “I’ve never
gone to the cave in my life. But
if you will feel safer, we’ll go.”
She called Celeste, and they got
coats and ran to the storm cellar.
A terrific wind was blowing, and
the sky seemed to be boiling. There
was no doubt Bender was in for a
terrific storm—even if the cyclone
did miss them.
The cave was stone, covered over
with dirt in a mound, and the doors
were large, double storm ones. They
would be perfectly safe there. There
was a cot and Vivian and Celeste
sat on it—their teeth chattering
with fear. The little French girl
hardly knew what it was all about.
But she remembered vaguely hear
ing people talk about the dreadful
funnel-shaped monsters that swirled
over the country ana wiped out en
tire towns.
“Eet ees like Paris in ze war,
madame,” she chattered, holding
tight to her knees to keep them from
shaking. “Many time we go to ze
cellar when ze Germans bombers
come. Eet was terrible.”
Suddenly Kent bolted for the door.
Vivian was struck dumb when he
started to open it and go out.
‘:‘My God, Kent, what are you
going to do?” She ran toward him.
“Dovie and Mrs. Jansen. They
may not know there is a bad storm.,:
He was out of the cave before
she could stop him. The wind was
tearing through the night, and mis
sies were already flying through the
air. Her heart stood still for a mo
ment. Then, scarcely realizing what
she was doing, Vivian, started out
the door to bring him back.
Celeste screamed and ran after
her. She was up the steps before
she caught her, and with all the
strength in her little body, pushed
her back into the cave. Vivian felt
herself being hurled down the steps,
and looked up just in time to hear
a scream and see Celeste throw up
her hands and roll down the steps
at her feet.
A flying object had struck her in
the back of the head. Vivian stood
paralyzed with fear, staring down
at her. When she saw the blood
streaks on Celeste’s face, her senses
came back. She picked her up like
a baby, and put her on the cot. look
ing around wildly for something to
wipe the blood away from her fore
head so she could see how deeply
the maid had been wounded.
Kent! Kent was out there some
girl he loved. He had risked his
dgirl he loved. He had risked his
fife to go to her. Even in her shock
at the injury of Celeste that kept
drumming through Vivian’s head.
. . . He loved Dovie better than
his own life. . . .
Vivian was wearing a white shirt
»
—and she tore the bottom of it off—
and in a daze wiped the blood from
Celeste’s head. She shook her, and
found that she was unconscious.
Celeste might die right there with
out aid, she thought wildly, and
wiped the blood away hleplessly, as
fast as it flowed from the little black
curly head. The curls were all mat
ted now, and she looked like a little
girl with the deathly pallor and her
full red mouth.
“Maybe she will die! Maybe she
will die!” Vivian moaned over to
herself, almost delirious with fear
and shock. “If she does, he killed
her—Kent killed her—because he
wanted to go to the girl he loved.”
She babbled wildly to herself.
Suddenly there was a crash that
sounded as though an earthquake
had shaken the town. Then a
rending and tearing that left no
doubt in her mind. She screamed
wildly. The house was being torn
from its foundation. The cyclone
was upon them.
Where v.as Kent? On his way
back to her, maybe, after warning
the Jansens. He might be dead.
Vivian fainted dead away, unable to
hold herself together any longer.
She sank down in a heap beside the
cot where Celeste lay so still.
When she came to, Kent was
bending over her. She heard his
voice from far, far away:
“Vivian. Vivian, speak to me. Are
you all right?”
She raised weakly.
“I’m all right. Celeste—is hurt—
badly—doctor.”
She leaned back again, but he;
brain began to function and she
knew she must not let herself faint
again. Celeste needed her. With
a superhuman effort she sat up and
looked around. Kent was bending
over Celeste, wiping the blood away.
His face was grim.
“God knows where we’ll find a
doctor. The town is torn to rib
bons. Our house is gone, and so is
Jansen’s. We got to their cave just
in time—”
Doctors! There were only two in
the town. What were they to do?
There were, no doubt, many wound
ed and dying from the storm, and
two doctors would never be able to
care for them. Maybe the doctors,
themselves, might be Injured.
Suddenly Vivian forgot herself and
her own fright. She stood up and
brushed her hands across her eyes.
What could she do? Every unin
jured person would be needed.
All at once she remembered the
little cottage—her little cottaye now.
“I wonder if my house is still
standing?” She started for the cave
door. “We can take her down there,
and shelter all we can.”
She forgot her hare in tile tragedy.
“We’ll take Dovie and her mother
with us, too. They have no place
to go. I imagine the storm did not
touch that end of town. It prob
ably passed straight through.”
“We’ll chance it,” Kent said, and
picked Celeste up in his arms. When
they got outside, Vivian gave a glad
cry. By a freak of chance, the
storm had not taken the garage. It
stood intact. Kent carried Celeste
out and laid her in the car. Vivian
ran to the Jansens’ cave.
Both mother and daughter were
crying, and clinging to each other
when she opened the door and went
in. They were astounded to see her.
“Come along with me.” Vivian
took Mrs. Jansen by the arm. Our
house may still be standing.” They
obeyed her automatically.
When Mrs. Jansen saw her h «
in ruins she screamed and
tearing her hair. Vivian shook
roughly. It was beginning to p*.
rain, and they had no time to waste.
Kent found it impossible to get
the car out of the drive. Trees and
wreckage from the house were scat
tered everywhere. It would be neces
sary for him to carry Celeste to the
Matthews cottage. But she was
light. He shouldered his little bur
den and the women followed him,
Mrs. Jansen sobbing,
Vivian gave a thankful cry when
she saw it. All around her was de
struction, but the little cottage that
she had thought so humble and so
V'1 ~'* ’ ■%'
!
lonely stood like an old friend to
welcome her to its shelter. The door
was unlocked, as it had always been.
Vivian hunted up first aid sup
plies, and they bound Celeste’s head
as best they could. The Jansens
w*ere still weeping and wringing
their hands. Kent and Vivian had
to do all the work. When they had
finished she called Mrs. Jansen
aside.
"Don’t tell Kent until I am well
on my way—do you hear me? He’ll
try to .stop me. I'm going to try
to fly to Salina, if my ship is not
wrecked, for a couple of doctors and
some supolies. The wires will be all
down, and there is no way to let
the outside world know we have had
a cyclone.”
Mrs. Jansen did not try to stop
her. She nodded, and promised to
not tell Kent until he missed her
later.
Vivian tried to ner eyes to
the misery and destruction around
her as she made her w’ay to Bark’s
hangar. If she could only get away
without his seeing her.

k
It is hardly more than a century
ago that the citizen of Boston was
not permitted to take two baths a
week without a doctor’s order.
In Philadelphia then, it was
against the law to have a private
bathtub without holding a special
permit.
A thing that holds the attention
of a visitor to any of the old cas
tles and palaces of Europe is that
no provision was made for bathing.
Taking a bath in olden times was
something of a domestic ordeal. It
upset the discipline of the entire
retinue of servants.
Today in some foreign lands it
requires an order in advance to get
the water into one of those great
marble tubs. It is filled from basins
carried by hand. I shall never for
get the stitches of laughter caused
by the description given by a doc
tor friend of mine of his experiences
in getting a bath in a distant coun
try.
Saturday night bathing continues
to be a custom in many parts of
America. You recall the old joke of
the man who could hardly wait till
Saturday to try his new bathtub!
I think often of the hard lot of the
pioneer women. They had to endure
everything their husbands did and
besides that had to put up with the
pioneer men!
Cleanliness is a matter of the
greatest importance. Not only the
exposed portions of the body, but
every part should be submitted to
through and frequent cleansing.
It takes scrubbing, as well as soap
and water, to take the dirt from the
skin. It is not at all unusual to ob
serve a dirty neck. The cheeks and
forehead of that person may shine
from efforts at cleasing, but behind
the ears there will be a month’s ac
cumulation of dirt.
There cannot be perfect health
without a perfect functioning skin.
The skin cannot play its part unless
it is thoroughly clean. That is the
first essential.
Select a good soap, one that agrees
with your skin; apply it with a clean
wash cloth. Then with an abundance
of water you may hope to give
yourself real cleanliness.
I am more and more impressed
with the htuoght that we really
neglect the skin. Half the time
certainly the irritations of the face
and necks are founded on lack of
cleanlinenss.
Sun and air and water, soap and
scrubbing, good food and simple liv
ing—these are the secrets of a good
complexion.

SECOND LAW OF KEPLER
By Arthur DeV. Carpenter
Simplified: If a cord could be
stretched from a planet to the sun.
the plane through which it would
be carried forward by movement of
the planet in its orbit would sweep
out equal areas in equal times.
When a planet is in perihelion >
(nearest the sun) it speeds up its 1
orbit velocity; when farther away H
(aphelion), it slows down. The
angular area swept out by a planet
when at perihelion, makes up in
angular width through accelerated
motion, what it loses in the length
of its lateral sides when at aphel
ion. Condensed sumary: The ra
