GREAT YEAR FOR
'TATER GROWERS
PLENTY OF PIcKERs IN CLAY
COUNTY AND HUNDREDS or
THOUSANDS OF BUSHELS WILL
BE sToRED-FEW SHIPMENTS
ARE MADE.

There never was a year like this one
for the potato business, since the grow
ing OF potatoes began to reach the
magnitude 1t has In Clay county and
other parts Of the Red river valley"
said Leslie Welter, a man well in
formed about all there is to know about
the buying and selling Of potatoes. to-
day.
Mr.. Weller said the situation was
summed up in a very few words and
ii is that what the farmer wants for
his potatoes and what the southern
man, who is buying potatoes, is willing
to pay are figures that at the present
time are very wide apart, but just when
they win get to the point for actual
transactions time alone can tell.
1t is said that sensational articles
have been sent to eastern papers al
leging scarcity of potato pickers but
authorities in Moorhead say that such
a condition in Clay county has not been
brought to their attention. If there are
communities where hundreds of acres
of potatoes are waiting for pickers
there need be no more concern on that
score. after the frost last night and
he night before for tubers subjected
to temperature of six degrees above
zero will not need to be picked. The
greatest trouble is lack of storage. The
capacity at GAINESVILLE, for instance,
is about exhausted now there being
about 100000 bushels stored there now
and that quantity, plus few cars
which have been shipped make up the
stocks tributary to that station. A
vast quantity of potatoes are stored in
he fields but many Of them have been
cared for against the frost king.
That there VIII be heavy losses from
recent frosts is generally conceded, and
1t is not only over the extensive pota-
20 fields in this section Of the Red river
valley, but all over this part Of the
vest. Advices have been received that
Few If any 'taters will be shipped out
IF the country east of Williston this
year The price of last week, 80 to
}5 cents, still holds and the demand is
anything but active. Several cars were
sold in Moorhead today.

Why Men
Are Selfish
Their Wives Make Them So

TT is the most natural thing in the
> world for man to be selfish and
for woman TO be the opposite. The
training OF ages has been to this effect,
and, unfortunately, this state of affairs
is responsible for most of the married
unhappiness in this world.
For the average woman spoils a man
during the first years of her married
life so that he does not get over 1t the
rest of his days.
This is particularly the case If she
is of the self reliant type and he is an
easy going mortal She does his work
under the impression that she is help.
ing" him, when the only help that
ever does a man any good is to set
him down hard and make him stand
alone
The more you do for him the more
you hurt him.
But the average bride does not real
lie this, and she saves her husband
worry and takes away responsibility
from him when what he needs Is Just
that very worry and that very respon-
sibility.
There was one household which was
very hard up, indeed, and where the
wife practiced every kind Of economy
even denying herself car fare ana do
ing her own laundry During that
time the husband continued smoking
however, and did not give up single
cocktail. More than that. he would
frequently enjoy game Of pool o.
Billiards in the evening on the grounc
hat he couldn't stay at home all th'
ime.
An Englishman married q woman o.
ONE means and benefited by the HON
he was thus able to provide by addins
furnishings. money. etc. to the small
sum he was able to contribute But
when she lost her money he turned alb
solutely ungrateful. blaming her that
she had not let him handle the money
and do as he wished with ii.
The point OF view of sympathy never
even occurred to him. He felt dis
tinctly aggrieved OF being deprived Of
what he had been used to, which is
peculiar point of view. one must admit,
but one by no means impossible for a
man to arrive at after he has been
spoiled enough.
IT is too bad every woman in the
land has not a wise mother to teach
her the right way and the wrong way.
Al selfish man Is a blot on the land
scape and the woman who turns an
otherwise decent man into this sort
deserves all the unhappiness that win
come to her. and she will get . lot.
AS for the girl who marries q selfish
man, what can be said except that It
il almost better for her to marry a

Little straws show the way the wind
