Show BEAR RIVER VALLEY LEADER, THURSDAY, DECEMBER STEADY TONE IS HELD GENERALLY ar er IN GRAIN MAKET Domestic Demand Gets Moderate Offerings of Most Grains The domestic grain market held generally steady during the week ending December 8, with demand sufficiently active to absorb the moderate offerings, according to the weekly grain market review of the U. S. bureau of agricultural economics. Premiums for wheat were somewhat reduced for the high protein types but most offerings were readily taken. Increased deliveries on December contracts caused an increase in commercial stocks in store in the market. Corn receipts were fairly heavy but country offerings were not large and siocKs showed a moderate increase. 1 rices were practically unchanged vats continued independently firm principally as a result of small offerings, while barley held steady. Rye was slightly lower and flax declined on slow demand and lower Argentine prices.

To that end, the following resolutions were adopted: 1 That the handlers of potatoes in all shipping districts make a study of the situation in their territory with a view of effecting an improve ment in the grading of potatoes. 2 That growers and shippers confine their shipments of potatoes to those grading U. S. No. 1 as determined by federal inspections, and that all potatoes should be free from dirt or other elements that detract from appearance and affect market conditions. forced in accordance with the terms thereof. These recommendations are logical and should have a good effect if put into actual practice, for if there is consistently put on the market only the best grade of potatoes, your farm, your locality, your shipping district soon will have the reputation of producing a fineg rade potato that will sell readily in competitive markets. The Union Pacific system is vitally interested in the present situation and its desire is that the farmers and producers will find the most profitable markets for their crops. It is hoped farmers will be more than just interested in the four recommendations of the potato shippers' meeting and that these suggestions can be given effect.

Mr. and Mrs. Wilford Durfey, Mr.' hold Unlimited Money to LOAN 2; In his desire to see that all Christmas mail is properly delivered, or returned to the writer, Postmaster It. S. Calderwood calls attention of the public that all mail should carry the return address and urges that the patrons of the office see to it that this is done. Mr. Calderwood says: The attention of all is directed to the fact that in January every year the dead letter service receives between three and four million dead letters containing Christmas and New Year cards in addition to the normal receipts of ordinary undeliverable letters. This enormous increase in undeliverable matter is of course due primarily to incorrect addresses, Dut would still be preventable in spite of incorrect addressing if the patrons of the service could be persuaded to place their return addresses on the envelopes contrary to the widsepread custom of mailing greeting cards in noncard envelopes. The loss thus sustained each year by the mailing public is enormous, amounting to not less than $325,000 in cash outlay, not to mention the disappointment of hundreds of thousands of persons who fail to receive the anticipated greetings, leading, no doubt in many cases, to misunderstandings and estrangements, since in the absence of a return address on the envelope the letter can not be returned and the mailer therefore is unaware that his or her message was not deThousands of these are livered. found to contain gifts of money when office, and opened in the dead-lettcomparatively few contain sufficient information to enable their return to the mailers.
