soldier has come to know in its every

that the marshes are occupied by

hens are supremacy indifferent to

have been observed building their
nests not hundred yards from the

these are in the habit of flying over
the German lines every morning and

OUT OF LUXURY CLASS
Potatoes Will Be a Dollar a Bushel
Cheaper Than Last Winter.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-''Spuds'' will be
cheaper this winter-at least a dollar
bushel lower than prices last winter.
This, in spite of the fact that the al
lied armies in Europe are expected to
draw heavily on Americas potato pro-
duction, and that high prices in other
foods is expected to influence the po-
tato market. Two dollars a bushel is
the price retailers believe the potatoes
will bring.
1T may even go lower it was said
at the office of Sol. Westerfeld, vice
president of the National Retail Groc-
ers' association.
Last winter the price was So a
bushel, but there will be a big crop
this @winter, probably twice that of
last year.
The increase at the present time is
due to a late potato harvest, it was
said.
Half Billion Bushel Crop.
P. c. Miller. of Albert Miller & Co.,
one of the largest potato dealers in
the country, estimated that the potato
output will be half a billion bushels
this year against 253,000,600 bushels
last year.
Miller forecasts a wholesale price of
81 bushel.' Today the wholesale
price was $3.50 a bushel as compared
with s1.05 last year.
