all parts OF Michigan.

The convention was strikingly har-
monious and the slogan "Re-nominate

SpuDs BUT II PER CENT SHORT


Government statistics issued during
the week show that the worlds pota-
to crop is only IA per cent short of a
normal crop. Frequently i'm former
years the potato crop has been as
short as IL is today and there was not
the spectacular rise in prices that
has occurred this year.
The reason for the exorbitantly
high value OF potatoes this year may
be ascribed more to lack of trans
portation facilities and to speculation
than to a real lack of supply. There
are a lot of potatoes in the country
in the hands Of farmers who are hold
ing for very high prices. The short
age has been so widely advertised
that farmers are worked into a great
case OF expectancy that may spell loss
10 them unless they use "A little iudg
ment. Already some new potatoes
are appearing in the city markets
from the south and in another month
there will be a fair supply open from
that source that can be sold at profit
in competition with old potatoes at
$500 per bushel.
Minnesota has many potatoes held
hy farmers who will put them on the
market as soon as the weather will
admit Of the root cellars being opened.

was raging.
Thousands Of persons gathered il
the streets surrounding the navy yard.

The fire. discovered by a Waterman,
was not checked until it had burned
for an hour and reduced the receiv-
