POTATO PENS

A Kansas City (Mo.) man, it is
said, has produced AZ bushels of po-
tatoes on a plot of ground eight feet
square. He did it by means of what
he calls a potato pen," and main
tains that anyone else can equal his
record.
He got his idea from the potato
bin in his cellar. If the potato
sprouts could come out through the
chinks and crevices in the sides of
the bin in the cellar and crawl in
every direction after the light, why
couldn't flley do the same thing when
put in a dirt pile outdoors?
So he built a potato pen in his
yard. 1t was six by eight feet inside
measurement, and six feet high. The
board sides were loosely put togeth-
er, leaving lots of cracks through
which the potato plants could seek
the light Then he planted layer up
on layer of potatoes, a proper dis
tance from the sides of the pen and
far enough apart to allow room for
every individual potato hill. The lay
ers of dirt between paintings were
about six inches deep and there were
two inch layers of dressing.
He made a "moist tester" which
could be pulled out and put back in
easily. Then he kept the pile prop
erly ,watered and let the potatoes
grow.
The vines came out from the sides
and top and converted the WOODEN
pen into living green hill. When
the potatoes were matured, he took
out 40 bushels of fine potatoes one
year, 80 bushels the second year and
AZ bushels in the last year.
The potatoes can be planted much
later than they can in open fields, he
claims. With the moisture, ventila-
ton and drainage properly regulated,
he believes good crop is always as
sured the grower.
If his scheme is one that actually
works when tried by other people, it
will mean a big thing to the country
and to the world. The family with
the smallest back yard will be able
to raise enough potatoes to supply
their own table. There is no use in
devoting acres to a crop that can be
raised on a few square feet of ground

BUYING GOOD QUALITY

The family purchasing agent goes
forth to buy tne family necessarles'
She finds that where she has delayed
a purchase thriftily for month OF
two $50 this months bills won't be
too large, the articles have increased
in price so greatly in the interim that
she has lost out anyhow.
The housewife is in bad way
nowadays. It's hard to give her any
comforting counsel. But here is one
point worth her earnest considera-
ton:
This is not a time to buy anything
of poor quality. With the accustomed
articles going out of the shops week
by week, her only salvation is to buy
the best in any line which she can
possibly afford. This is not time,
Cor instance, to buy cheap hosiery
with the idea that Eat least it will
tide over one summer" Next sum-
mer it may be almost impossible to
get any hosiery at all. The one thing
for every buyer to consider in choos-
ing merchandise is its wearing ca
pacity.
Artificial silk, for instance, may
be as good as natural Cotton under
some circumstances may be substi-
tuted for linen or for wool. That's
not the point. If the article is good
and soundly made, buy it. But highly
adulterated natural silks, always a
bad buy, should this year be refused
without question. Much better an
honest gingham than a shoddy silk.
Remember in making any purchase
whatsoever, that the next time you
want to buy the same thing, its price
will probably have increased and it
may nave disappeared from the mar
ket. The pair of shoes, or window
curtains, may have to last you twice
as long as pair ever did before.
Buy what you need. But ask your
self always, will it wear

PUT EN- IN THE FIELDS

In the appropriation of $4,000 900
by congress for food survey, Rep
esentative Philip P. Campbell, of
Kansas, asks the pertinent question:
What will the people get out of it?"
In his opinion, the 1900 or more new
employees who will be given Jobs
might better be employed as farm
ands and the money IN providing
1000 for those who are hungry. "The
money appropriated in this bill will
be spent" declares Mr.. Campbell: "toe
people will have a report that nobody
Will read, and the food shortage will
go on until the war is over"
Mr.. Campbell insists that what the
farmers need is sufficient labor tn ti,1
the boil, but instead they are given
an army of investigators and theor.
lists. In the words of another CON
eressman, THE people are asking for
read, and they are given a survov !,

RAIN AFTER THUNDER

Why does heavy downpour of
rain often follow a ciap of thunder
asks the Popular Science Monthly,
and gives this answer: Not, as is
popularity believed, because the thun-
der jostles the cloud particles togeth-
er into raindrops. In the violent tur-
moil between the positive and mega
live electricity in a thundercloud
there will be places where the pro-
duction of drops by condensation and
their subsequent breaking up pro-
ceeds more rapidly than elsewhere.
Hence in these places there will be
more drops to fall as rain and also
more electrification, the rainfall oc-
curing about the same time as the
fash.
We have, then, starting toward the
earth at the same time, light, sound
and raindrops. The light, travelling
at speed of about $4,000 miles per
second, reaches us almost instantly.
The sound travels far more slowly
about 1890 feet per second-but the
rain falls muo1 more slowly still.
Thus we observe, first, tne lightning,
then the thunder and then the rain.

LIBERTY LOAN

The final figures on the Liberty
Loan subscription which closed a
week ago are even more gratifying
than the estimates based on partial
returns. The total exceeds $3,00O,-
100000 instead of stopping at $780,
100000. The number of subscribers
goes above 100000 instead of 3,OOO,-
900. Nearly 100000 persons make
up the class tnat bought bonds in
amounts from $50 to $4,000. These
persons will get all the bonds they
asked for and that will add up close
to the total of $1,3O0,0O0, The
others will be scaled down in the al
lotments from so per cent. for the
smaller amounts to 20 per cent. for
the biggest subscribers. This is the
peoples war If anybody had been
doubtful that the people were in it
with their money, here is the all-suffi-
cient answer.
Bridgeton pioneer., 1917-06-28
SINISTER OPPOSITION

The ultimate issue of the war is
likely to turn upon the skill and eff
cheney with which the food problem
is solved in the United States A
Congress that conscripts bread-win-
ners, but gives gamblers a Ii
cense to prey upon the people, is in
viting disaster. If Congress refuses
to give the Administration the neces-
sary law to control this situation,
hunger may make it's own laws, as
it has done in Russia. The men who
are fighting this bill are playing with
dynamite and whatever arguments
and pretexts they offer to cloak the
sinister and sordid character of their
opposition, the facts remain the facts

PARADE THE TROOPS

Parade the troops! British recruit
ing officers In ashington last week
| pressed this suggestion upon the War
Department. They told our army Of
| ficers that columns of marching men,
| flags, and martial music had a pow
erful effect upon the people and stim-
| ulated enlistment.
We ought to parade the troops, for
our problem is more than one of en-
listment. The American people have
not yet taken up this war as their
war. The abstract problem hasn't
come home to them, and the reason
is simple. The Government has done
its best to stifle war news. Most of
the picturesque detail of the massing
and moving of our troops has been
lost. The intimate gossip which
would establish contact between the
public and the soldiers has been sup
pressed lest the enemy gain valuable
information. We haven't kept very
much from the German Government,
but we have left the American people
completely out of the national conf
dence.
Lack of enthusiasm for this war
can be traced largely to lack of infor-
nation as to our part in. it. People
can't work up interest and feeling
from cut and dried official announce
ments. They can't feel the thrill Of
battle and following with rising in
terest the fortunes of soldiers who
march out of the hometown armory
into obscurity.
The patriotism and fervor with
which American communities have
bade their soldiers farewell will be
continued when the Government
learns that it must keep these home
people in souch with the fighting
men. When intimacy between the
war and the community is established
this will become OUR war.
We must parade the troops-pnysi-
cally down the streets of every Amer
lean city. We must parade the troops
-psychologically through the COL
umns of the newspapers.

LEST WE FORGET THE U-BoATs

LEST WE FORGET THE U-BOATS
Another disastrous week for British
shipping in the submarine zone is a
sharp reminder that America has ne
elected her duty. If the decline OF
losses to submarines in the month Of
May lulled our Government into the
belief that there was no especial hur-
ry after all about building ships, the
appalling increase of losses thus far
in June must be disillusioning.
Britain has lost upwards of two
million tons of shipping since Feb
ruary l. Her shipyards have turned
out probably less than quarter of
that total in the same time. Thus
every day brings its shrinkage in the
whole amount of tonnage at her dis
posal for transporting troops, NUM-
tions, food and supplies. She is not
yet suffering from absolute lack of
ships, but by her own admission she
is hard put to meet all the demands
on her overseas commerce. And at
the present rate of losses the time
cannot be far distant when the ship
ping problem will be a vital menace.
We have undertaken to supply the
deficiency in merchant shipping not
only for England's sake and for the
good of the common cause, but for
cur own sake. We must have ships
to send out food and supplies abroad,
to transport our men and afterwards
to feed them. We are planning a
great aviation corps, but even that
project has small value without ships
to back it.
Months have passed since we ent-
cred the war, yet barely any progress
has been made in shipbuilding. There
has been much wrangling about wood
en- ships and steel ones, about author
ity, about prices and about standard
plans, without apparent results. Real
work has not been begun, and, what
is worse, not even a definite policy
has been decided upon. Clearly, the
time has come to abandon talk and
begin action.

THE RETURN-GOODS NUISANCE

LIE fLEl lUhN-GOODS NUISANCE
Once upon a time all dry goods
stores were run on the "Caveat Emp
tor" plan. An article bought was
bought for keeps. If it proved de-
fective, that was the buyers lookout.
AS the better stores improved their
methods, along with policy of max
ing good any imperfection in goods
or service came the privilege to re-
turn goods and receive credit or mon
ey back. This right, when not abused
is reasonable and should be retained.
Sometimes blemish, not perceptible
at the store, shows when the goods
are delivered. Sometimes the mis-
take is the buyers, but is quite hon
est and should be rectified. 1t is
very difficult, for instance, to be sure
OF the effect of rug as to color and
form when choosing it in an enor-
nous room from bewildering array
of other ruges. One may in all good
laltn HnQ tnat the rug chosen goes
badly with the other furniture and
tne lighting of ones home. Such a
purchase should be exchangeable after
few days trial.
But do people realize that not less
than twenty per cent. of all mer-
chandise purchased is returned
Much of the cost of running of a bis
store is due to the habit of orderins
things carelessly and returning them
more or less damaged, always badly
packed, doubling the effort needful
for getting given article from shelf
tc consumer. Who pays the double
cost of handling that twenty per cent
every buyer pays his share.
