POTATOES.

With the harassed public busy loak-
Ing for the causes or causers of the
high cost OF foodstuffs, popular wrath
is at last being turned against the
farmers. The potato situation seems
to give some reasons for accusing the
producers Of conspiring against the
consumers.
An economic expert estimates that
four-flfths Of the present potato sup.
ply In the United States is in the
hands, not Of the SPECTATORS or mid
dlemen, but OF the farmers. And
there Is no disposition on the part OF
the farmers themselves to deny that
they are holding onto their crop for
all they can get out OF it.
Buyers from Cleveland and Cincin.
natl, going thru the best potato-raising
section OF Ohio, report that the farm.
ers refuse to sell They say they ex.
poet to get at least 81 bushel for
their crop, and SIS o bushel or more

have. But let him not brag Of his

Chickens Fix Identity.

Charged with stealing chickens from
Milton Smith. of Woodsboro, sometime
ago, Bruce Barrick, also of that place,
was arrested in Waynesboro, Pa, on
Saturday by Deputy Sheriff Edward L.
Stitely, and at preliminary hearing be-
fore Justice C. H. Eckstein was released
on $500 bail, pending the action of the
February grand jury.
Edward Redmond and William Horner,
arrested shortly after the theft took
place, were committed to Jail by Justice
of the Peace Adam Roser, at Woodsboro.
1t is charged that the three men stole
about IL chickens belonging to Smith and
sold them to Morris l.. Smith. Milton
Smith, in order to prove his theory that
the three men were responsible for the
loss of his chickens, had them taken to a
small stream of water near his barn, and
said if they were his they would make
for home. If they'dd not, he would not
prosecute the men. 1t is said that when
they were freed, ten of the twelve chick
ems went to the Smith place and flew up
on the roost. The other two started to
fight.
