Early Ones Going Fast and Late

On the Vines.
WORTH 81 A.BUsHEL AT WHOLESALE
Fair Yield in Northern States and
Cheap Grain Foods Will
Afford Relief.

Whether to eat potatoes during the
coming winter or not is one of the
questions which from present indica-
tions will be up to the common peo-
pie of this land. Early tubers now
sell in the local market for 81 per
bushel, and they are scarce at that
price. Tops of the late ones are
looking very sickly, and according to
well known potato grower who
supplies many Rock Island citizens
with murphies annually, not even q
young tuber can be seen on the roots
of the vines. Immediate rain and a
late frost will be necessary new to in
sure even a poor crop.
Contemporary sums 1t Up.
The Davenport Democrat has the
following to say in regard to the sit
uaticn:
''These days the queen of the kitch-
en- fries the murPhies with bated
breath The man on the end of the
long dining table asks the man in the
middle to pass the spuds, with serious
air the men who eat on the high
stools at the lunch counter take off
their hats when the dish of German
fried comes along. No slang term
goes. No abbrevIations are tolerated.
Potatoes are pronounced with two o's
nowadays, for it takes a 5 to get a
bushel. And what about the future?
Davenport is eating home grown
potatoes at present, and they are
grieyously drouth stricken They are
small and are found few in a hill.
The late crop is not yet due but the
commission men have pleasant It'd
ings from the growers. and the next
edition will be larger and more like
Scott county potatoes. There are
even some grocers and dealers who
are rash enough to hazard that there
are going to be enough potatoes, and
that the price won't be so bad, bus
they are not sanctioning the use of
their names in connection with such
reckless speech.
other Foods VIII BE Substituted.
According to reports from the
north there is some prospect of relief
