very true saying that a man or woman
who has not learned to control self is
not fit to control others. If woman
cannot go into her kitchen without
losing her patience or losing her tenn
per she would do better to stay out OF
it. Fault must be found, but with
servants, as with children, it should be
in quiet, dignlfled way, and a proper
time should be chosen for it. A woman
who does not know any better than
to take time when a servant is par

piece of work she is trying to get
through, such as washing. ironing or
getting dinner, will never be likely to
have good service. II she scolds or

Marketing Potato Ctona.

In line with the classic case Of the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley Of Yale university in his book
on Railroad transportation, Is the case
Of the Aroostook potato growers brought
by President Tuttle OF the Boston 4
Maine railroad before the senate COM
mittee on interstate commerce. Moth.
ing could better show how a railorad
works for the interest OF the localities
which II serves.
A main dependence Of the farmers Of
the Arooetook region is the potato crop,
aggregating annually eight to ten mil
lion bushels which find market large
ly in Boston and the adjacent thickly
settled regions OF New England. The
competition Of cheap water transporta-
tion from Maine to ell points along the
New England coast keeps railroad
feright rates on these potatoes always
ct q very'low level.
Potatoes are also considerable out
put OF the truck farms OF Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago iAvoring sun and
rains brought tremendous yield OF
potatoes from the Michiagn fields. At
normal rates and prices there would
have been a glut OF the customary
markets and the potatoes would have
FOtted on the farms. To help the pota-
to growers the railroads from Michigan
made unprecentedly low rates on pota-
toes to every reachable market, even
carrying them in large quantities to 0
place 40 remote as Boston. The Aroos-
took growers had TO reduce the price or
their potatoes and even then could not
dispose OF them unless the Boston &
Maine railroad reduced its already low
rate, which it did. BY means of these
low rates, making possible low prices,
the potato crops of both Michigan and
Maine were finally marketed. Every
body eats potaotes, and that year every
body had all the potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads, had they been applied to
the movement of all potatoes at all
times, TO all places, they helped their
patrons to find markets then. The
Boston 4 Maine railroad suffered de-
crease in its revenue from potatoes, but
IL enabled the Aroostook farmers to
market their crop and thereby to obtain
money which they spent for the varied
supplies which the railroads brought to
them. II the making Of rates were
subject to governmental adjustment
such radical and prompt action could
never have been taken, because it is
we'll established that il rate be once
reduced by railroad company it can
not be restored through the red tape Of
governmental procedure, II the Mich
igan railroads and the Boston 4 Maine
railroad had been subjected to govern
mental limitation they would have felt
Obliged to keep up their rates as do the
railroads OF France and England and
Germany under governmental limIta-
tion and let the potatoes rot.-Ex-
