Rejoicing "Over There"

Miss Bessie Viola Bachelor passed
from her earthly home in this city last
Thursday, the 9th inst, and upon her
entrance into that celestial abode lover
there" rejoicing surely prevails, as her
beautiful life in our midst, though brief,
displayed every evidence that she was
heaven-bred
Miss Bachelor was born in this city
on the 10th of October. 1891. From in
fancy to the hour of her death respect,
admiration and love garnished her ex-
istence in such voluntary way as one
of her gentle, ladylike and energetic
nature unwittingly commands. She was
graduate of the local high school, but
with this her ambition did not cease.
Difficulties and trails checked her not,
but her physical force failed her and
ab.ut swo years ago she was overtaken
with nervous prostration from which
nature and medical skill combined failed
to release her. Regret and sorrow is
felt in all our homes because of this
untimely. death.

ing sections Of the United States. but Il
Is debatable point whether c0nmuni-
ty cold storage plants could not be prof
itably employed by the southern truck
growers. At the present time prac-
tically all of the northern grown seed
used by the southern grower Is shipped
to the south during the months OF No
vember, December and January, de-
pending upon the locality to which 1t
Is consigned. AS rule, the seed stock
Is In transit from the north during
dangerously cold weather, and it must
be accompanied by person charged
with the responsibility Of keeping 1t
from freezing. Artificial heat is sup
piled to the car by means of stoves,
and they often require more attention
between stopping points than 1t is pos
sible to give them, with the result that
the car gets overheated or too cold,
either OF which conditions Is undesir-
able for seed potatoes. If, on the other
hand, the southern grower had suit
able storage facilities he could pur-
chase his supply of seed in the fall

weather sets in. 1t could then be plac.
ed In cold storage or in well con-
structed house of the cellar pit style
with a water tight roof provided with
numerous ventilators for the free ad-
mission Of air when the outside tenn
perature permits. This practice would
remove very materially the present OBJ
lection of the truckers to purchasing
their seed supply subject to fall de
livery, because under good storage con-
ditions the seed could be easily kept
dormant until required for planting.
Such a change would also enable the
grower to buy his seed for less money
than for midwinter delivery.
Temperature Of Storage Rooms.
The temperature at which the stor-
age rooms in which seed potatoes are
usually held is maintained at from 81
degrees to "a degrees Il. 1t is believed,
however, that "a degrees to SO degrees
+. would be a more satisfactory tenn
perature.
For the last three seasons the gray
ity brine system of refrigeration has
been used in the potato storage room
Of the department Of agriculture. With
this system, in which ice and salt are
used as a substitute for ammonia or
carbon dioxid in cooling the brine, the
maintenance Of constant temperature
Is entirely dependent upon the thor
oughness with which the surrounding
walls, ceiling and floor have been in
sulated and the attention given to re-
icing the coil tank and to observing
that the brine in the circulating coils
is actually circulating. The tempera-
ture can be raised. or lowered by sim
ply varying the proportions Of ice and
salt used in the tank. Temperature
records covering weeks time have
frequently been secured in which there
was practically no variation during the
whole period With this system it has
been possible to keep seed potatoes
perfectly dormant until wanted for
planting.

housewife is not slow TO appreciate that
she can turn this to advantage in her own
home.
None SUCH MINcE MEAT is made just as
the best housewife makes the best mince

An insulated frame potato storage
house used for storing second crop
OF potatoes at Morrill,, Tex

sand barrels. AS rule, the only pro
vision for the ventilation of the base
ment is by means Of trapdoors i'll the
floor above. through which the filling
of the bins is completed. Occasionally
a ventilator is found In the roof. In
storing the potato crop in the base
ment the bins are filed from one-half
to two-thirds full from the basement
floor, and, as already stated, the re-
mainder of the bin is filed from the
upper floor through trapdoor over
each bin. In addition to serving use
full purpose il filing the bins and pro-
tecting the potatoes from inclement
weather the wooden superstructure OF
these storage houses may be used for
the housing Of hay or grain or for BAL
rels, sacks, farm implements and wag
ons. The house shown in Fig. II of
the bulletin is representative and gives
a fairly accurate conception of the
style Of construction Of its exterior
That such houses have proved salts

is evident from the fact that practical
ly no other style of potato storage
house Is in use in that state. 1t is not
conceivable, however, that they will
ever supersede the dugout pit or stor-
age cellar now SO extensively used I'm
the middle and far western states, and
it is not at all probable that the latter
will ever supersede the Aroostook type

lures which peculiarly adapt them to
their own environment. but do not nee
essarily preclude their use in other To-
calities.

The insulated frame potato storage
house Is not used very extensively and
as rule is better adapted to southern
than to northern climatic conditions
The construction feature of such a
storage house Is the thorough insula-
ton of It's walls, ceiling, doors and
windows. The type Of house described
in farmers bulletin 54S for the storage
of sweet potatoes will serve equally
well for the Irish potato, but I'm the
case of the latter no artificial heat will
be required. Facilities for heating
storage houses of the type under dis
cussion In the north at least must be
provided for extremely cold weather
This is usually accomplished by means
of an ordinary heating stove. This

commended for northern locations, nor

where poor drainage conditions will

located on a sidehill or knoll in order

these storage houses have both front
and rear end driveway entrances on
the same ground level, but practically
all of them have a rear ground level

structure. When the rear entrance is

ally divided into a number OF bins on

may or may not be of cement. Usually

not are provided with false wooden
floors to permit ventilation under the
piles of tubers.

He had laughed Jerry Carson to scorn. He could hardly bear to be civil with him when he brought his schooner into Porto Delgado upon his foolish quest.
 The only thing that made 1t bear able, having the American in his house. seeing him engrossed with his daughter, was the thought that Jerry would return a discredited bankrupt.
 Daily, after Jerry's departure, her father praised Sebastian and dis paraged her absent lover. Leontine grew to hate Sebastian. who did not fail to avail himself of his opportunity to press his suit. Then came the day when she re- turned to find sailor standing in her fathers hall, and her father listening eagerly to his story. Sebastian was present as we'll he was generally there nowadays. As Leontine entered she saw an inscrutable look upon her fathers face.
 You must prepare to hear bad news. dear" he said.
 "What is it?" she cried.
 'Im sorry. maam," said the sailor. q thought it was my duty to come here. The Portland Girl is lost, with all hands"
 Its false." cried Leontine instinc- lively.
 "No, ma'am, it can't be false" the sailor answered.
 "Jerry is safe" said Leontine grave ly. If he were dead my heart would tell me so."
 John Walcott. who felt sorry for his daughter, made no answer. It was not for two or three days that he spoke to her. Meanwhile, by preeon- certed agreement, Sebastian had re mained away.
 "LeontIne," said her father, " au know that my affairs are not in the best shape just now?" "Yes," she replied listlessly. "I am very sorry about Jerry Car sons death, but don't you think it is as well to consider it in its proper light?"
 What do you call it's proper lightr" she asked. "A happy dispensation." answered John Walcott. "Leontine, you are old enough to stop dreaming and to face the facts of life. You are past twen ty. A rich man and a decent mar wants you to be his wife. My future Is precarious. I will not urge tho fact that a marriage with Sebastian would restore my business affairs
