els, or more, of Irish potatoes
while they are cheapest during
the fall, says Food Commissioner
Hoover. Potato storage in the
home is fairly simple. The tubers
must be kept cool dry and we'll
ventilated. People often put a
supply of potatoes in closed eel
lar, thinking to protect them
against cold, only to find later
that dampness and warmth have
caused decay. Heat probably
ruins more potatoes in home stor-
age than cold. Potatoes should
be put in barrels with few holes
in the side so that they can have
circulation of air, or piled in
bin that is not too tight, or heaped
on a few boards laid along the
floor. Circulation of air to keep
them dry and cool can be secured
by opening the cellar windows
during the day and shutting them
on cold nights.

Again last week we were raked
over the Goals for not publishing
certain juicy items Of scandal
that had sifted in among the ma
tives. We have often told why
this stuff stays out Of the Miner.
1t is not because we are afraid.
The Hutchinson Leader gives the
reason why as follows: Gin its
every issue the newspaper might
pillory some evil doer for his mis-
deeds and do exact justice, but
it shields him instead and protects
him from scorn and criticism of
his fellow citizens. The news
paper does this not for the sake
Of covering up wrong, but to save
some poor devil from the conse-
quences of his evil ways, and per-
haps, to shield his family from
shame and disgrace. And who
can say that this is not the better
course? 1t all the sin and sordid
depravity of humanity were bla-
zoned forth on the pages Of the
newspaper there would be more
of hell than heaven on earth
and it is the mission of the news
paper to contribute what it can
to human happiness"

Store Your Root Crops

The Minnesota county option
law, when accepted by any
county in the state, prohibits the
sale of liquor in that county, says
a prominent attorney. 1t does
away with the saloon. But it
does not forbid the individual to
have liquor in his possession, nor
does it forbid shipping liquor to
an individual in the county for
his own use.
A new federal act forbids the
shipping of liquor into a state
which prohibits the sale of liquor.
1t makes it unlawful for instance
for liquor to be shipped from Min
nesOta to North Dakota. It has
no reference whatever to any,
thing but interstate commerce.
Congress has authority over COM
merce. between the states but it
has no authority whatever over
commerce within the state.

Letters and cancelled checks

German money supplied to carry

pointed to group Of men as
prime movers in the, conspiracy
with a large number of agents
acting under their orders. This
evidence was gathered III the ma

country on September 5.

ing these nations predominated
in the roll. The Investigators
found that thousands of these
men, unrestrained because the
United States is not at war with
Austria, have been free to carry
o. whatever activities were
planned. Next in order were the
Firms it was discovered. The
?.gher ups furnished the ammu-
milton and the Austrian and
Firms in the several communities
in the country did the shooting.
Strikes, acts of sabotage and anti
draft movements were carried on
by these men.
Fred JackOla, the editor of the
Industrialisti in Duluth and who
is being held in default of $4,000
bail, was found to be some high
muc3y-muck in the hampering
movement. He was to have trans
lated a lot Of Haywood orders
into Finnish and then publish the
same in book form for the faith
full. The agents got in their work
before the book was published
and the diciples in Ely and Win
ton and other points in the range
towns are short their words of
wisdom. Hence, there has been
not much said hereabouts since
the movement to round up the
eds has begun.

Tons of evidence in the shape
of circulars, letters and cancelled

conclusively that a concerted
movement was organized to ham

same was fostered and paid for
by German money. Evidence in
