CHANT" POTATOES MAY
 BE MIXED

Growers of the American Giant potato. a variety largely confined to New Jersey, are affected by recent ruling of the Food Administration which excepts this variety from the rule requiring dealers who buy or ship potatoes to have them graded as "U. s. Grade No. r or "U. 5. Grade No. g." It was anticipated that much difficulty would arise in separating grades of the Giant" on account of the peculiar shape of this variety.
 The new rule provides that pota- toes of this variety may be bought as "U. s. Grades No. 1 and No. 2 Mixed" The mixture must contain No. 1 potatoes and none can have been removed. No definite propor- tion of the two grades can be fixed but they must be in the proportion in which they occur in the field run. No potatoes smaller than Grade No. may be included.
 All the requirements of the two standard grades must be observed and the only exception is that they may be mived.

LABOR AND COOPERATION

The American Federation of Labor has
appealed for federal legislation to en-
power the food administration to establish
cooperative stores and the cooperative
necessities of life, others than unionsts to
share in the benefits, if they please.
YOU said Woodrow Wilson to the
American Federation of Labor convention
at Buffalo, "are reasonable in larger num-
Der of cases than are the capitalists
The basis of much of the restlessness or
actual disturbance, is the failure of wages
to keep pace with the high cost of living.
recent writer has said: Civilization
must be rescued by Americas mobilization
of both labor and capital OF the two, it is
easier to mobilize capital than labor In
the case of the latter. Profits are an in
ducement and government can take and
use through laws. But the successful mo-
+ bilization and governmental use of labor
very largely depends upon the appeal to
the hearts of men and women, who must
have the national vision and patriotism to
move in common cause. This the work
ers of this country can be depended upon
to do, in any really great crisis.
The establishment of cooperative stores
is wise and sane method of meeting ma
tional question, and with the government
back of such movement it would most
certainly prove beneficial.

THE SOUTH'S ACTIVITY

A summary of the main shipbuilding
activities along the South Atlantic and
Gulf Coasts from Maryland to Texas shows
the vast aggregate value of over $40O, 0OO,-
900 in ships now building or under con-
tract, says the Manufacturers Record
About S175, 100000 is represented by work
in hand at shipyards at Baltimore and
Hampton Roads, or nearly one half of the
total, leaving 1925 OOO,O 900 as the amazing
sum representing practically new ship
building activities that have sprung up in
the South since the war began because but
a very limited amount of shipbuilding was
carried on prior to the war at any South
ern ports except Baltimore and Newport
News. Thus it will be seen, practically
every Southern port from the Chesapeake
Bay to the Rio Grande river is busily en-
gagged In meeting the demands of the gov
eminent for ships to help win the war: and
this condition is fulfilling in every sense of
the word the oft-repeated prophecy that
Southern ports could be successfully de-
veloped for shipbuilding because they pos
sess in an unusually complete manner
practically all of the advantages for this
industry, and are backed up by a climate
that permits outdoor work to be continued
the year round with the least loss of time
Having created this wonderful ship
building achievement under pressure of ma
t1onal necessity and to meet the Govern
ment's urgent need for ships to carry on
the war successfully, let us see to it that
the millions of dollars and the countless
value of brains and energy invested in
these splendid enterprises shall not be for
the period of the war alone but shall form
the basis for permanent industries that
shall again place America in the forefront
OF the maritime nations of the world and
make the Stars and Stripes familiar sight
IL every ocean and in every cline, thus re-
gaining our cherished prestige of years ago
when we led the way in traversing the end
less paths OF the sea and established tradi-
t1ons that even today thrill us with the
glory OF achievement of our forefathers
Nothing could go farther to show the
wonderful strides the South has made in
commercial development during the past
twenty-five years than the tremendous
achievements in shipbuilding which have
already been accomplished by the South
Atlantic and Gulf States.
Not only do these enterprises indicate
the Importance of the establishment of
shlpbulld1ng centres to the government. but
they speak IN no unmeasured terms of the
business acumen and initiative of the men
back of these ventures who are putting
their money their brains and their ener-
S1es into these enterprises which moan SO
much for the development not only of this
section but for the commercial prosperity
Of the entire nation
