Financially, too, we have had the

to the tree. 1t was a tight fit in ti'.a
tree trunk, but from the gauze orifice
one had a sweep of the whole near
by country.
A huge boulder such as one sees
along country roads, was noticed
among the trees. The big stone five
feet high and seven across, looked
very real, and yet this. too, was
camouflage-a make-believe boulder in
which an observer and machine gun
could Turk.
Examining the stone, It felt rather
like big cardboard box and gave
slightly to the pressure Of the hand.
The frame was wood, the covering
burlap, painraised in let through the
nozzle Of the machine gun.
"You have your own telegraph sys-
tenn" was remarked on observing the
line of telegraph poles STRETCHING
across the plain.
The commander smiled. Chose are
periscope telegraph poles" he ex-
planned.
The poles were veritable telegraph
poles, with wires strung from the
tops, just as they are seen along
country roads. But each pole was hol-
low, to permit a periscope to be rails
ed to a high observing point, while
a covered pit at the base Of the pole
Accommodated the observer taking the
readings of the periscope.
Beside the periscope poles there
were periscope trees, with hollow
stumps from which the observers
instrument was manipulated and the
readings made in the pits below the
roots.
A camouflage stone wall was
another curious device standing
among the camouflage trees and poles
This wall, looking like the ruin OF an

above the ground to permit circula-
tion beneath the pile makes a very
satisfactory bottom. After the cur
ing stage has passed, a depth of six
feet in the bins is permissible.
Potatoes may be successfully stored
in pits il provided with good drain
age and given sufficient covering to
insulate them against external heat
and cold. The first consideration is
a well-drained site or one which can
easily be provided with good drain
age. The depth of the excavation
may vary from practically nothing to
two feet or more. 1t is usually not
advisable to excavate more than six
inches. The shape of the pit should
be long and narrow rather than
square.
In preparing the pit for the recep-
tion of the potatoes 1t is desirable to
place a light layer of straw on the
floor to protect the tubers from direct
contact with the soil. The tubers
! should be piled in ridge of inverted
V shape. When piled in this way a
greater area of the pile is exposed TO
the air, and the soil covering sheds
rain much better. 1t is desirable to
provide ventilation to take care of
the moisture which is given off. The
potatoes are best insulated against
cold and heat by covering with alter
nate layers of straw or hay. and soil.
With the approach of winter weather
another heavy layer of straw and
soil are usually a sufficient protec
ton, but in sections where the win
ter temperatures drop to 20 degrees
Fahrenheit or more below zero an
extra layer of each will be necessary
Each layer of straw when compacted
should be approximately six inches
thick. The final layer to fall during
the storage period.

The PessImist Versus optimist.

The pessimist is one who always
looks for the worst and generally
finds 1t, says National Cash Register
bulletin.
He is an example of one-sided de-
velopment-his mental vision is cross
eyed.
When he makes good sales, 1t only
suggests to him that will only help
make up for a lean time coming.
If a lean time comes, he forgets
that he ever made good sales.
There is a kink in his mental ma
chinery.
He looks for hard knocks. He gets
what he looks for.
On the other hand, the men who do
big things are practical optimists-
When they see obstacles, they al
the same time see a way to overcome
them.
The optimist's mind is concentrated
on his purpose-he has no thought
of possible failure. He is determine
to win.
He sees possibilities where others
do not see them.
He sets out In confidence-and he
gets what he sets out for.

BREVITIES.

The Calgary, Alta. capitalists who
recently examined timber limits near
Erie. b. c., with G. l.. Merry, have
completed the deal for the acquire
ment of the same and next spring
expect to install a sawmill at cost
of $125,000.
Thomas f. Wilson, president of Will
son & Co., packers, Dec. 10 said that
a profit-sharing plan whereby all en-
ployes of the company may own stock
in the company would be announced
soon. This does not affect the cash
bonus system, the employees to re-
ceive the usual Christmas gift of 10
per cent Of their last six months sal
airy.
Disastrous fires occurring just at the
close of the season made the forest
loss in Oregon the greatest in its his
tory since 1910 for the year just clos
ing, according to the report of State
Forester F. A. Elliott, advance sheets
of which have been made public. The
loss is estimated at 1,1O7 ,743,0 900 feet

representing a monetary loss of $734,-
692.
Through statements issued by the
federal administration and the inter
state commerce commission, the bu-
reau of railway news and statistics
announced December 10 it is enabled
to make approximation of the aver
age passenger and freight receipts OF
the railroads in September, compared
with the corresponding month last
year. The average receipts from pas
sengers carried one mile this year
are given as 2.524 cents; from freight
per ton carried one mile, 1929 cent
those from passengers carried a mile
last year were 1866 cents, and from
freight per ton carried a mile last
year 1922 cent. This average increase
under federal control is slightly more
than 2S per cent in each case.

STORAGE of Potatoes.

In properly constructed and we'll /
managed common storages, potatoes
that are sound and mature when !
stored in the fall should remain in I
good commercial condition for about
six months; under less favorable con-
ditions, earlier deterioration may be
expected. Frequent inspection should
be made to avoid holding the crop
beyond it's prime condition. Storage
efficiency depends upon proper tenn
perature. suitable humidity, and com
parative darkness, says circular No.
20 of the office of Farm Markets at
Pullman.
Potatoes will not freeze in as low
a temperature as 80 degrees Fahren-
heit, but IL the temperature Is allowed
to go much below 80 degrees, the po-
tatoes will have a sweetened taste
when cooked. The best temperature
to maintain is from 80 to 40 degrees.
| Fungus disease becomes active in
temperatures ranging above 40. 1t is
necessary, therefore. that potato stor-
age places be so insulated as to keep
out the heat during warm days in
early fall, and keep out the cold dur
ing winter Ventilators should be pro-
vided to regulate the inside tempera-
ture; in the fall, they may be opened
during night time to allow entrance
of cool night air, and then closed dur
in gthe day. Ventilators that extend
through the roof of a dugout should
have their tops protected by a cap.
The large proportion of moisture in
potatoes makes it necessary that the
