Thorough Ventilation Essential.

"It Is essential that a house be thor
ouGhly ventilated when necessary, and
for this purpose ventilators are con-
structed in the roof and openings made
in the floor The outlets through the
roof may be constructed by mailing
two eight-hch and two ten-inch boards
together to form an eight inch box
This box should extend from the inside
ceiling of the house to about eighteen
inches OF two feet above tho roof
The top of the Ventilator should be
prvided with hood to keep out rain,
and the bottom with cover SO Ahat
the ventiiator may be closed in cdd
weather. Every house more than
twenty feet in length should be pro-
vided with at least two ventiiators- The
openings through this roof should be
ten or twelve inches square and pro-
vided with tight -htting cover, SO
sary.
The bins for holding the potatoes
should be constructed to allow as much
circulation of air as possible. They
should be set at least six inches away
from the wall. and space Of four
inches should be left between the bins
and the under floor of the bins. The
sides Of the bins are formed by setting
these three or four inch boards faid
with an inch space between. The
MS between the bins are Slated
on both sides. SO as to provide four
inch air space between bins
the floors of the bins formed by
laying IA scantIinss edgewise run
ming lengthwise Of the bins and nail
bin and not fastened down 1t can be
manner as for the sides OF the bins.
The floor Of the bin may be made in
one or Two sections. and IL cut two
inches narrower than the width of the
bin and not Fastened down it can be
readily removed when il is desired to
clean the bins The size and shape Of
the bins depend on the size of the
mousse. but to get good air circulation
the bins should not be over four feet
in width.

Heating Apparatus.

The heating apparatus for a storage
house usually consists of q cheap iron
stove. Nitrihed tile may be run through
the roof OF the house and the stovepipe
run through the tile. thus lessening the
danger of ftre. In thd more northern
sweet potato regions. where heat is re-
CURED throughout the storage period,
hard-coal stoves and hot-water heating
systems are in common use. and the
storage houses are usually provided with
easements. in which the heating plants
are located.
potatoes may be stored in bins. on
shelves, or in crates and hampers Stor-
age LII crates or hampers wherever prac-
ticable Is to be advised, for in this way
the handling Of the potatoes from the
field to the house is reduced to 4 mini
mum and the potatoes will cure much
quicker. When it is desired to market
the potatoes. the hampers or crates are
emptied and the potatoes repacked in
the same packages Where potatoes are
sold in local market and packases
are not needed. this method Of storage
may be more expensive at the start than
storage in bins"

IsGtAD THAT PORTUGAL
!, ALIGNED WITH ALLIES
President Machado, Pleased With
Progress of Republican Institu-
{ tions, Discusses European War.

stan Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LISBON, May 5.-President Bernardo
no Machado of Portugal told of what
the change from monarchy to repub-
lieanism had done for Portugal, and
emphasized the steady march of repub-
lican institutions throughout the world
in the course of an interview today
with representative of the Associated
Press
The presidential quarters are now es-
tablished at Belem palace, where King
Manuel was attending a banquet the
night the revolution broke out. and IT
was here the interview took place.
The president spoke of the satisfac
tion he felt in having aligned Portugal
with the entente allies at the outset of
the European war, which later led to
her entering the war soon after he be-
came president.
;. In the previous government" said
the president. when l occupied the
post of president of the council, l took
the earliest occasion to state in the
chamber that PortugaFs historic al
lance with England and her admiration
for the liberal spirit Of British institu-
tions as compared with the imperial and
aggressive policy of Germany would
naturally incline us to the side of the
cause represented by England and her
allies. From that time forward Portu-
gals course was clearly marked, and
soon after I entered the presidency the
condition ~ war which had long been
Impending became a reality.

Change Proves Decided Advantage.

Has the change from a monarchy to
republic proved an advantage to Por-
tugal in actual experience?' the presi-
dent was asked.
Decidedly. an advantage" he said.
The hrst act OF the new republic was
to re-enact the various laws which our
liberal element had succeeded in en-
acting even under the monarchy, but
by the monarchy. We have adopted a
form OF government which is thor
oughly representative OF the people
and in which the government comes up
from a few at the top. Our executive
branch is elected by the assembly
chosen by the people. Both the senate
and chamber are elected by the people
And the same idea of letting the people
carry on their own government flows
through ali our lower branches down
to the municipal organizations."
Have any specific laws been enacted
carrying out this idea that government
10 for the people," was asked.
Many of them" answered the presi-
dent Our representatives, coming
from the people. have given their first
attention to economic, social and fiscal
measures which would benefit the
great body of the people instead of a
Few. For instances, we have now en-
acted progressive income tax law in
which the tax is gradually increased as
the income of citizen increases, the
same as the law in the United States.
which exempts small incomes and gives
increasing rates Of tax as the income
increases. This has swept away a
great body Of vicious laws and regula-
tions under the monarchy by which
over million people of small incomes
owners of small house or a few
acres of land-were paying most of the
taxes We have lifted this heavy and
unjust burden of the backs of these
million people and placed on those bet
ter able to ply it with large incomes

AlignAd With Traditional Friends.

Portugal is thus ranged with her
traditional friends i'll defense of all
those liberal principles OF government
which England and France represent so
conspicuously
The establishment of our republic is
IN fact, the ada ptation of the liberal Brit
Ism system to conditions in Portugal. so
that we now have a representative gov
eminent for the people instead OF a
monarchy directing the government for
the privileged classes. In this adapt alton
OF the liberal institutions Of England
We nave followed in way the same
course asethe United States, for, after
all. the Americans took over with them
from England all those healthy safe
guards for protecting the people in
their rights which are tho glory Of An
gio- Saxon nations everywhere And
just as the liberal spirit of English
Institutions permeated America at the
formation of the great North American
republic, so We in Portugal have more
recently followed along the same
course In adopting liberal system Of
government. representing the people
and not an oligarchy or class.
1T was a fortunate chance for us

trary authority, oligarchy and Caesar

POTATO COMMITTEE
NAMED BY WATTLES
Will Have Unlimited Power to
Deal With Situation in
Western Part of
State.

Acceding to sharp demands from
potato growers throughout the state,
Gurdon w. Wattles, state food ad-
ministrator, has taken up the solving
of the question personally.
o. J. Schweiger, Chadron, Neb.,
has been appointed by Mr.. Wattles
as chairman of committee which he
will announce after a conference with
Mr.. Schweiger, which will have mon
archial powers in the potato situation.
Letters began pouring into Wattles
office Wednesday denouncing the rail-
roads for failure to provide cars with
which to ship potatoes eastward.
Letters of Protest.
E. E. Minnick, Gordon, Neb., wrote
Administrator Wattles that SO car
loads of potatoes were lying at the
station at that place rotting away
for want of transportation facilities.
B. A. Pace, McGrew, Neb., wrote
detailing practically the same condi-
tions from his town.
Charges are made by the potato
men that railroads permit empties to
fly through their places after many
futile promises to provide them with
cars.
1t is expected the committee which
will assist Schweiger in caring for the
situation will be announced within a
few days. Quick action was urged
by the Nebraska growers in order to
save the already perishing spuds.
