HOLD POTATOES.
PRICES GOING UP
CROP NOT so LARGE AS EX-
PECTED AND GROWERS
ASKED TO STORE
THEM
PRICES NOT YET ESTABLISHED
Great Loss to Both Grower and
Consumer by Rushing New
Crop to Market

The Wisconsin State Council OF
Defense has sent communication
to every agricultural agent and to
every county council advising the
holding of potatoes from the mar
ket at this time by the grower.
This has been done both for the
protection of the grower and the
consumer. In the first place the
potato crop is below the original
estimate. In the second place the
raising of potatoes in thousands OF
city gardens. with no adequate place
in which to store them will neces-
sarily mean placing on the market
several million bushels heretofore
not counted, and to reduce the de-
mand for a short time Or so long
as the gardener can keep his supply.
No Fixed Market
There is no fixed potato market.
Prices vary widely. The selling
price in Chicago. and other great
central markets does not seem to
dictate buyers prices in the field.
The speculator is pursuing the same
old tactics of depression, claiming
the crop is so enormous that pota-
toes will be down to the lowest
known and offers of from soc to soc
for field buying are made. 1t is to
protect the grower against this
game that the Councils of Defense
are acting.
kilograms Tell the Story
kilograms and letters have been
received which carry this message:
Government reports show that the
potato crop will be much smaller
than previously estimated. Advise
farmers not to sell to dealers at
the prices now offered. Do every
thing to assure farmers good prices. -
This information has been sent to
scores of growers in Rusk county
by County Agent Householder and
it is expected that few potatoes will
be sent to market at digging time
unless the market is higher than
now.
Storing "War Garden" Potatoes
There is a serious question also
about the preservation of the gar
den potatoes raised right here in
Ladysmith. Not everyone has cellar
room for his crop. No provisions
have been made for it, In some
other cities the county councils of
defense have started movements to
provide storage places for potatoes
Cornell in Chippewa county has
arranged = for the storage Of 1900
bushels of war garden" potatoes.
No new warehouse was built but the
business men of Cornell have con-
tributed the storage place In some
Of the larger cities the garden po-
tatoes will be bought, warehoused
and sold at the purchase price later.
Chicago plans on buying and stor-
ing 100000 worth.
The Society of Equity is talking
a warehouse at Tony but nothing
definite has been done anywhere in
Rusk county and the time is short
for action.

HOME CANNING BY ONE
 PERIOD COLD-PACK METHOD

Washington, D. C., July 5.-Can- hing fruits and vegetables in the home by the one-period cold-pack me- thod is a relatively simple process and can be done with ordinary kitchen equipment and with comparatively lit tie labor. Much of the surplus of the home garden can be saved for winter use by this canning method which is fully described in special bulletin just issued by the United States De- partment of Agriculture, Farmers Bulletin S39, "Home Canning by thl One Period Cold-Pack Method" This bulletin is of special interest and value to all housewives, canning clubs societies or persons interested in con- serving the food supply of the nation. It may be had on application to the United States Department of Agri- culture.
 The bulletin contains very explicit directions for canning practically all of the common garden vegetables in- cluding tomatoes, peppers, sweet pep pers, pumpkin, squash, sweet corn, field corn, beans, peas and root vege- tables, also various combinations of vegetables. It also includes canning directions for soft fruits and berries, hard fruits as apples, pears, quinces, Directions for the canning of camp rations, meats and soups are given in detail
 Each step in the canning process by the one-period cold-pack method is carefully outlined from the prepara- tion of the equipment and the raw materials to the storing of the canned products. A special time table show ing how long fruits, vegetables, soups and meats should be scalded, blanched or sterilzed, is of particular value to the housewife. Various types of homemade and commercial canning outfits are described.

''MAJE" MCCORMICK, TRIB'S TIN SOLDIER, GETS
NICE CALLDOWN FROM REGULAR OFFICER

Militant MAZE" Mccormick, whose
dope on war and the way to wage it,
is often quoted by our highbTOwest
paper-the Chicago Tribune-gOt
two severe jOlts yesterday.
First, the Trib, of which McCOT-
mick is the alleged editor, was bawl-
ed out right in public as a perverter
of news and a faker by Capt. F. r.
Kinney in command OF the Chicago
district.
Then the Journal stuck its fingers
up to its nose and called attention to
the 'imbicile criticism" on military
affairs that a certain superficial
scribbler" on a ''highbrow paper"
put over on the innocent public.
Now this is considerable jOlting to
a man who got his military dope
some distance behind the trenches
over in Russia. This is no way to
treat our MAZE is the verdict Of So
ciety today.
1t seemed to some that Mccormick
went wild the minute Gov. Dunno
sent him a pretty gilt paper which
said he was a major. OF course, he
is only a major of the militia. He
didn't get a commission in. the reg
Ular army like he did in the Illinois
national guard, because they don't
look kindly on the brand of war he
sings from his pen in the Tribune
building.
No sooner was this majeing bust
ness done by Dunno than McCOr-
mick tripsed over to Russia, where
they didn't know the difference be-
tween a militia MAZE who has a gov
ernOr friend and a regular MAZE who
is expected to know all about the
workings of war.
Once over in Europe the spirit got
him and he was so full of war that
it just exuded from him. You could
hear his militia sword clanking every
time you read the Trib. He even
wrote a book and signed his name
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-02-10


. REGULAR OFFICER
itor of the Trib, MAZE Mccormick
now started out to make war.
OF course, he didn't make war on
department store endorsements
which the Mandel Brothers outfit
was trying to lobby through the
council.
Neither did he help put through
the law requiring deadly auto trucks
to protect pedestrians from death by
the use Of tenders such as street cars
wear.
Nor did he back up the state fac
tory inspector in his fight on the ILL
nois Manufacturers assn and the
stOckyards gang of plutes to get de-
cent working conditions in filthy fac
tories.
And not once did his pen aid union
labor IN its struggle for living on a
decent wage that could meet the
high cost of everything.
For these were all struggles to
preserve life and make it more pleas
ant. Besides they were local affairs
and Mccormick was after something
big
He wasn't interested in mere life
saving propositions, He ho1ered fer
an army and showed just how the
Mexicans could be beaten into sub
mission with a loss of life among
American soldiers of not more than
fifty or hundred thousand.
When Wilson sent the unfit militia
to the border for training, McCor-
mick dropped his pen and used the
sword as a hammer.
There was a quite a bit of knock
ing over at the Tribune building be-
cause the supreme court had ordered
the Trib to pull its fancy doorway off
the peoples sidewalk and this was
being done.

grew near, McCormick's militant

RuMAN|ANS LOSE
AT ALL POINTS

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE military
critics here are watching the German
attack III Rumania with anxious inter
est. The greater part Of Moldavia, the
only section of the country remaining
in Rumanian hands, is being attacked
as shown in official dispatches from
the north, west and south and the Rus
slams and Rumanians who until recent.
ly conducted a victorious offensive,
are now aesing ground at all points.
Field Marshall Won Mackensen's S
thrust in the neighborhood OF FOX
shani is the most serious of the oper-
ations being carried out by the Ger
man troops and the furious resistance
of the allies is not meeting with sue
cess.
The enemy's passage of the Suchitzu
reported yesterday is regarded as
placing in immediate jeopardy the Ma
ria Sesti junction railroad, the posses
sion of which is of immense import
ance> to the Russians and Rumanians.
Attention is called here to the alb
sence of the Russian official state
ment yesterday while it is remarked
that the Rumanian report does not ap-
pear to deal with the latest events.
