Private Byely, it seems, had
started with a number of others
bound for Midland, and due to~the
country being covered with snow
lost his way and came to New

citizens enjoyed the novel exper-|

their visit here, and Immediately
upon the arrival Of the first ma

night. but despite that fact the
young gentleman remained with
his machine at all times. Mr..
Byely made many friends here
and our people were impressed
with his enthusiasm and devotion
TO the cause in which he is en-
gagged.
The visitt here of these gentle
men and the kind treatment they
received at the hands Of our hos

much towards the undertaking

THIS MAN NOT
IN STACKER CLASS
Gen. CrOWder Says "WOrk Or Fight"
One-Armed Man Doing His "Bit"
At Spa View Heights

Notwithstanding the efforts being
made to get everybody to work under
the Crowder decision: Work or
Fight" there are still many slackers to
be found hanging around the saloons
or walking the streets of the city. OF
course, it would be necessary to have
some officer patrolling the City all the
time to catch every one who is trying
to evade work, if possible. Some have
very lame excuses, which would mot
wash" if examined carefully. If the
will exists, the way to work can nearly
always be found
A fine example of this was exhibited
some days ago on the part of Spa View
Heights, which was under cultivation.
A one-armed colored gentleman" was
seen with his horse and cultivator
working some potatoes, apparently
with as much ease as his companion
who had both arms. He did his row
every time the other man did, and the
work seemed to be just as well done.
1t was interesting to see how he man
aged his horse. He had one line
tied to the short stump of his arm
near the shoulder, and when he wished
to guide the horse to the left, he twist
ed his shoulder back slightly and the
horse obeyed willingly.
Where there is a will, there is al
ways a way.

DIRTY POTATO CELLARS
WASTE MUCH OF CROP
Decay Results From Putting The New
Harvest Into Foul Storage
Places

Clean up the potato cellars now and
don't wait until harvest, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture in pointing out that the potato
crop promises TO be big one, and
that there is no excuse for allowing
losses by rot in storage
Among the suggestions the Depart
ment makes are the following: Get
rid of every bit OF vegetable matter in
the storage cellar: sweep and brush
until il is clean; then give thorough
dose OF fungicide, either gas or spray.
the quickest and easiest TO apply be-
ing formaldehyde gas.
For each 1000 cubic feet of space
use 10 ounces of formaldehyde and 5
of potassium permanganate Pour the
formalin over the permanganate in a
deep container. and then leave the eel
lar Immediately, because the gas is
given OFF at once.
Should it be found that these chem
icals are too expensive, the Depart
ment recommends a bordeaux mixture
OF $3.50 strength. II may be applied
with hand sprayer, pump. or broom !;
II is effective when thoroughly used
and it does not cost much
1t is expecting too much. says
the department, TO look for potatoes
fit for market from a dirty, ill-venti-
lated cellar. Time, money. and work
spent in growing crop. are wasted if
the potatoes are stored where dead po-
tatoes are carrying over the organisms
that cause rots. Dry rot attack newly
stored potatoes through bruises and
wounds and spreads throughout the
stored supply
Many farmers, it is stated, have
cellars that now contain piles of sacks
of potatoes, all rotten, sacks and all,
and constituting a wet, foul mess that
helps to decay the timbers and men
aces the crop to be stored
While there is no way TO estimate
the loss due to the neglect and I'M
cleanliness in potato storages, it is
known to amount to a great deal, not
only in spoiled human food but in rot
ten sacks, and in actual money spent
in the labor of handling unmarketable
material, and in lowered market value
of what is left to put on sale. There
never was a time, urges the depart
ment, when something to eat was so
valuable as now, and when so much
effort has been expended in food pro-
duction. For the same reasons there
never was time when the prevention
of this waste was so important.

RECORD YEAR FOR CANNING

Reports from manufacturers of can

recommendations of the United States
Department of Agriculture in the max
ing of equipment indicate that the in
terest in home canning is increasing

mand for more equipment that will
save labor and time in canning. 1t is
estimated that there has been during
the year a so per cent increase in the
number of firms manufacturing home
canning supplies, an average increase
of % per cent in the quantity of equip
ment sold. and an increase of 500 per
cent in the demand for rubbers of
standard quality. Some of the de-
partment's canning instructions have
been published by outside parties in
