GROW MORE TATERS
THIS YEAR BECAUSE
PRICE TO BE HIGH
THIS is THE ADVICE OF A FOOD
MAN WHO KNOWS HIS
BUSINESS.
SEED is HIGH BUT THAT WILL
NOT CUT A GREAT DEAL OF
ICE NOW.
PEOPLE FEAR THAT THERE WILL
BE A POSSIBLE SHORTAGE
NEXT YEAR.

There will be more potatoes grown
in this county next year, in my opin-
ion said a local farmer, than for
many years past" He told of the in
quiries he had heard concerning va
rious details on the cultivation of this
one-time lowly garden product.
Potatoes are Just twice as hard to
raise" he claimed, as they were 20
years ago. New pests are coming
along ali the time, so that it requires
the closest and most careful attention
to get crop Of potatoes"
He said the day is past when pota-
toes could be put in the ground and
nature would do practically all the
rest. Bugs and blight he explained.
are terrible. Farmers who had pota-
toes out the past season and were
able to secure any kind of crop, GER
tainly had a good proposition for the
price of potatoes are way out of sight
and should make a good return for
the grower, almost at any cost to
produce them.
The cost of seed potatoes is big
item this year. Think of paying S4
or more bushel for seed potatoes. If
any quantity is to be put out, the
seed will certainly mean something
this year.
There seems to be difference of
opinion in regard to the quantity of
potatoes stored in the county. Some
persons are under the impression that
certain growers have hundreds of
bushels on hand, holding for higher
prices. This is denied in many quar-
tiers.
1t will be interesting to see how
many potatoes are grown in the coun-
ty next year and what prices will pre-
vail. More pessimistic farmers pre-
dict a great break in the prices, as
everybody will raise potatoes. Others
ridicule this idea and say that all food.
stuffs are going to continue high, no
matter what is the turn in interna-
tional affairs. There seems to be sound
| reason for such a belief
1t is not likely that potatoes in the
coming year will drop under any if
cumstances to where they were sew
eral decades ago. The time can be re
membered when farmers could hardly
sell the tubers at any price Many a
farmer has thrown potatoes away be
cause of low prices. Twenty-Five cents
a bushel has often been considered a
good price.
| Every person who has land to cult
vate should by all means put it out
this season. Not ssince the Civil War
have conditions been so favorable fol
farm and garden activity. Every
back lot should be put to good use
Every farmer should cultivate as
large a garden as he can possibly
tend to. 1t will pay and pay well this
year, there can hardly be any ques
ton.
The devastation in Europe is in
creasing daily When the war clouds

break and peace is restored, it will be
found that practically the whole OF
Europe will be denuded of food,

THE MARCH HOPE
FOR BETTER DAYS
Last Years Record Was Not the Best
and April Made Poor Show
ing at First.

The winter weather last year and
this has been not much different save
fer lack OF snow, Some farmers say
that though wheat is short and sparse
such as has not been known for years
due to the freezing winds, yet it Is
we'll rooted and these rains will soon
pick it up, Wild geese going north
and the early advent of the birds gives
hope of softer weather.
Last year February was disagree
able. There was much snow Or
March all kinds of birds appeared
Other days ran:
March 8, snow and cold.
March 10, cold but snow gone.

OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN


But I don't understand" protested
Davis.
We'll, it seems that the new maid
who happened to come in so untor-
tunately has taken u dislike to Mrs.
Richards and she Immediately took 1t
upon herself to repeat the affair to Mr..
Richards"
To Richards?" Why that seems in
credible. 1 know 1 was a fool that
day. l lost my head and all that, but
it wasn't Laura's fault"
do you call her Laura
20. no. not ordinarily, only to my
self"
Helen could not help smiling. We'll
you see, things like that might be mis-
taken just as this unfortunate affair
has been mistaken" she explained. "Of
course you don't mean anything by it.
but IL onyone heard you call her Laura,
if you should make a break sometime
she would be misjudged, don't you see?
A woman always has to pay for things
like that"
But what has happened. what does
Richards Think"
He things that there must be some
thing between you and Mrs. Richards.
He refuses TO believe that it was not
in anyway Laura's fault"
But he's got to believe it, the boy
exclaimed eXcitedly. why, Laura
wouldn't have an affair with any one.
KNOW"
Does that mean that you have tried
anything Of the kind?" Helen question
ed dryly.
NO, but I know her well. I like
her; she isn't like the other women
in that set. She really knows things
fellow likes to talk about, and I've
seen a lot of her. but l swear that it
was all open and above board. Why,
she might have been my own sister"
II believe you, of course, and Laura
tells me the same thing. But l think
that under the circumstances you ought
TO explain matters to Mr.. Richards.
He might make things very unpleas-
ant. He might even sue for a divorce"
You don't think he would do that?
Doesn't he trust his wife? Why. If
were married to a woman like that
would always believe in her. But I'll
see Richards, of course. It's the only
decent thing to do. I'll see him and
explain that I've been an utter fool.
Why. I wouldn't have Laura hurt for
anything. She's a wonder"
Helen liked the boys enthusiasm.
1t showed plainly that his thoughts Of
Laura were altogether worthy. But it
showed, too, that he cared more for
Laura than perhaps that lady herself
dreamed. AS she rose to go Helen felt
that she must caution Laura once more
it or not, a woman can unconsciously
cause any man to fall in love with her.
All that is necessary is a certain SYM
pathy for his hobbies and the male
is conquered through his greatest
enthusiastically.
Another incident in this series will
appear here soon.

This is a very smart coat and at the
same time it is simple and childlike
coat. Ip the picture, it is made of a
wool vt-eurs with trimming of fur and
nothing could be smarter or handsomer,
but it could, of course, be copied in
various materials. Velours unquestion-
ably is a favorite, but the velvets and
velveteens, and corduroy are exten-
sively worn, chinchilla cloth makes
handsome coats and cheviot and cloths
of such sort are admirable for harder
usage. Fur can be found to suit one
and all if fur trimming is desired, or the
collar and cuffs could be made of velvet
or they could be braid trimmed. A
practical feature is found in the collar
that can be worn high or low, and the
coat is as simple to make as it is attractive
when finished. The fulness is laid in
plaits at the front and back and the ends
of the pockets disappear under these
plaits.

Killed in Battle After
Being Wounded Twice

London, Jan. 2. - Harry LADDERS
son, Captain John Lauder, of the
Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders,
has been killed at the front.
When the war broke out Captain
Lauder was in Cambridge University.
After joining his regiment he was in
training for some months at Bedford.
1t will be remembered that he was
visited in camp there by his fatLer.
who delighted the regiment by sing
ing the Scottish songs they loved.
Lieutenant Lauder went to the front

soon was back in the trenches, but
in September, 1915, was invalided

Mrs. Stuart sewed up the rest OF
the seam. The girl walked over and
looked out of the window. She was
gazing straight down towards Mike
Dowd's Sink. How often must Bow
Wow have passed within her range

Stuart, and the girl flashed q smile
at her mother, a fond smile this one
was, and there was something of the
mothers patient sweetness in it. OF

added: Mr.. Stuart was so exact an

Helen felt very timorous about enter
ing q bachelor apartment Not that she
:. was overconventional; she knew that
ut was done, and by nice women. too.
and that no one thought, much about
1t. But Helen had never done anything
of the kind. She had never been in
side such an apartment, and when she
asked the boy for Mr.. Davis fiat she
flushed uncomfortably and fancied that
he smirked behind his hand.
Helen felt a sudden little wave of
wrath sweep over her when she
thought of Laura. Laura was always
getting into trouble, and she, Helen,
had to take the consequences and solve
the problem. She felt somehow respon-
sible for Laura, who was so helpless
in managing domestic problems. and
once this affair was settled Helen in
tended to read Laura q stern lecture,
and then decide that next time Laura
must manage things for herself.
The boy came back at this moment
and said that Mr.. David was in, and
the next moment Helen found herself
in the elevator, actually on her way.
Her fear left her as she rang the bell
of the apartment which was opened to
her Immediately by a Japanese SER

and then sat down in a tiny reception
room to wait. Helen did not send in
her card; she hardly thought Il neces-
sary under the circumstances; she had
simply told the man to tell Mr.. Davis
that a stranger would like to see him.
Laura in telephoning had not talked
with the boy; she had simply ascertain
cd whether he was in, so he was not
at all prepared for Helen's call When
he came into the room Helen rose, and
they stood a moment each measuring
the other.
Helen saw a nice frank faced boy.
well groomed and one who had lived
an apparently clean life. His eyes were
good, and his face showed character.
but he looked very young, and his
mouth was weak. Helen felt as though
she could manage the entire affair
beautifully now that she had seen
him. and she smiled a little as she
said:
Mr.. Davis?"
Il am Carlyle Davis. what can I do
Tor your he said smilingly, won't

Helen dropped back into her chair

There was no reason for postponing
