NJ. 0. Griswold, Local Administrator,
DeviSes Plan To Stop Unneces.
Sary Waste.
CARLOAD POTATOES SPOILED
Many of Them Could Be Used II Eaten
Immediately and Jobbers Will Give
IA Product Away.

NJ o. Griswold, local food admin
istrator, has taken steps to eliminate
the preventable waste of fruits and
vegetables by local dealers.
Yesterday Mr.. Griswold investigated
a case Of a carload of potatoes shipped
to local jobber from Denver, Col.
The car contained 375 sacks of Gree
ley White potatoes, and the jobber
would not accept the shipment on the
ground that portion of the potatoes
were spoiled, having the appearance
were packed. Mr.. Griswold ordered
that the jobber accept the car, pend
ing settlement with the firm that
shipped the potatoes, in order to re-
release the car in which the shipment
was made
1t is estimated that from rs to 40
per cent of these potatoes will be sort
ed out and classed as unstable. In
ordinary cases of this kind it has been
the practice to destroy all fruits and
vegetables classed as unstable Many
of the potatoes in this car are only
slightly specked.
Needy families in the city could use
them if they were eaten Immediately
and pared carefully.
Two JObbers Make Offer.
In this connection two local jobbers
have offered to give away all of the
slightly spoiled fruit and vegetables
which is classed as eatable but MOI
as salable. If needy families will
come to these two places they will b.
given all they can carry away. Mucl
of it can also be used as hog ant
chicken feed. Rachman & Co., II;
Sixteenth street, and the Independent
Fruit company, 1906 First avenue, ar,
the two jobbers who made this offe
to Mr.. Griswold.
The plan is highly commendable a
food conservation measure.

No better evidence of the manner in
which the Patriots fund movement is
gripping hold of the people of Rock
Island could be presented than that
shown by the delegation of railroad
men which met at the Rock Island
club Tuesday evening.
A delegation of about twenty five
railroad men representing all branches
of railway service, headed by Benja-
min Jacobsen, gathered for the pur-
pose Of discussion of the project and
to determine whether or not the rail-
road men of the city would get behind
the movement and help to put it
through. After a two hour session in
which the matter was thoroughly dis
cussed and digested, the following
resolution was offered as expressing
the sentiment Of the body:
THAT we, the representatives of the
employed railway interests of Rock
Island hereby endorse the Patriots
fund campaign and pledge ourselves
to support it to the limit of our ability
and agree to be responsible for hand
ling canvass of the railroad men Of
