Fred L. Savage, proprietor of ''Higrade
Farm" at North Hancock, exhibited at
the county seed show in Ellsworth last
week new potato crate invented by him,
on which he has applied for patent.

up, allowing the crate to be hattened to
one-fourth its size when opened, making
it convenient to return in punches when
empty. When open, the bottom holds
the crate extended.
Tne crates will stow closely in wagon
or in car, and two may be carried in one
hand, facilitating handling rhe crates
are designed to use from field to dealer

One hundred and eighty boys and

educated on farm, where each has
plenty of work and play and quart of
milk each day, is the record of the SER
vice of Hope Farm, in Duchess Coun-
ty, N. Y, as contained in it's eleventh
annual report, recently published.
The Right Rev David H. Greer.
Bishop of New York, president of the
farm, tells Of the work Of the nsti-
tuition, and expresses the hope that its
needs will not be overlooked among the
many important appeals of war time.
He says: "lf this work should be al
lowed to lapse or languish, New York
would suffer serious if not irreparahle
loss; and while l would not have ary
worthy and patriotic cause suffer fer
lack of support, trust that Hope
Farm has by it's record of work so com
mended itself to the confidence of all
public-spirited citizens that it will con-
tinue to receive their sympathy and
help"
The operations of the dairy and
poultry farm, the report shows, are
not only sclfsupporting, but also yield
handsome profit. The farm has ac-
cepted children to the utmost limit of
it's capacity. The current expenses of
the year, as shown in the report, were

came from donations of moderate sir,

Votes Medals to Tribune

Two large gold medals-one for it's
fight for honest advertising, the other
for its fight for honest Americanism
have been voted to The Tribune by
Dr.. William 7. Hornaday.
A lettey in which he announces the
"awards" (and one which The Tribune
heartily appreciates) follows:
"The fearless and unflagging cam
paign Of The New York Tribune for
honest advertising is, in my opinion,
beyond all ordinary terms of praise.
In these days of general fearsomencss
and OF counting the cost to ones self,
it is inspiring to observe from day to
day such a gallant fight for the rights
of the oft-victimizcd and cheated con
sumer as The Tribune has waged, re-
garde OF all risks Of comcbacks. The
people who have not followed your war
fare have lost an inspiring spectacle
and they have also failed in their duty
to support Your efforts.
"The consumers owe you a large gold
medal for all this. and the loyal citizens
owe you another for your great fight
against disIoyalty.
"As a private in the ranks. salute
you. Sincerely yours.

1T is understood that no decision was
reached at the conference yesterday as

stormy. 1t was decided to hold M
meeting of the Sinking Fund Commits.
sion THIS week, on account of the cour+
proceedings Friday, and to await tho
result OF the court action. 1t is thouoht
likely that the Hudson corporation will
be awarded the lease eventually. in
