brick and tile, built with air space
in the walls and all the doors are
built with air spaces. The basement
has cement floors excepting where
potatoes are stacked, the rest is dirt
floor but there are pannels of ad-
Unstable floors laid along where the
potatoes are to be stacked up in
sacks. This furnishes an air space
under the potatoes and as the sacks
are corded up an air space is left
between, them and the wall. There
are openings or chutes In the walls
every twenty-four feet and the
wagons are unloaded at these open
ings. AS the potatoes pass down the
chute men pick them up from a
table about three feet high and place
them at either side at not more than
twelve feet distant. Two men can
receive and stack the sacks Of po-
tatoes as fast as three can put them
in from the wagons. This method
of handling them is very rapid and
inexpensive Potatoes can be stored
here by the grower at cost of FIVE
cents per sack for the season.
II they require sorting, Mr.. Pendle-
bury and his corps Of workers will
nut them over the mechanical sorter
which sorts and grades them per-
fectly at a cost Of seven cents per
100 pounds to the grower. They have
in operation three Price sorters,
which is probably the best sorteI
extant. Pickers stand at either side
of the grader and as the potatoes

sociation is an organization of pros.
porous farmers who are doing much
for the advancement of agriculture
in this locality and especially along
the line of producing and marketing
the highest and most perfect grade
of potato that is possible. Their
united efforts and broad-mindedness
along the line%of grading potatoes
has done great deal toward raising
the standard Of potatoes. The as
sociation has as its manager James
Pendlebury Of Blackfoot and he, to-
gether with board of directors,
consisting Of local farmers, is con-
stantly on the lookout for improve
ments and better methods that they
can put into practice in their busi-
ness.
The association is now operating
their big, new warehouse to its full
capacity and it is probably the best
and most systematic plant for
handling potatoes IA the state. The
warehouse is situated on spur near
the Mackay tracks, southwest OF the
Blackfoot business district on south
Broadway and it is indeed worthy
of the attention and study Of all
persons interested in growing or
shipping potatoes. One warehouse is
43 by 148 feet, inside measurement.
and another one adjoining 1t on the
end is 40 by 1875 feet. The larger
section of 1t was built in 1917 and

perfect quality ones pass to the end
of the grader where cams receive
them, weigh them instantly and toss
them into a sack along with other
potatoes of the same size. The ma
chine sorts the potatoes into eight
different grades besides the discards
or culls, and each sack is graded per-
.fectly according to weight. II q

the machine and pass the men doing
the grading, unnOticed, the grader
would place 1t in q sack with potatoes
of the same weight, but, of course,

discard the same as an imperfect
potato.

potatoes perfectly sorted and graded

Each mans potatoes received for
storage are placed in stack by
themselves and labeled. There are
alley-ways thru the warehouse so
that the potatoes can be removed and
sorted or shipped at any time. At
this writing there are about eighty
five car loads of potatoes in the ware
house and they are loading and ship
ping cars every day.
The building is tempered by arti-
fetal heat, and thermometers in every
part Of the building keep them mo-
titled OF the temperature. They keep
the heat at about SO degrees which
is four points above freezing. Ven-
tilators built in the walls at inter-

Big Applause.
OFFICIAL STORY OF War

For year the United States Gov
eminent camera-men have been busy
registering the activities Of our sol
der and sailor boys on thousands of
feet of motion picture film.
As result, the people Of Kenosha
had the first chance on Sunday at the
Rhode to see what has been done by
our boys up to date over here and
over there.
Pershing's Crusaders Is the title
OF this first official government feature
film of the war and it really constitutes
motion picture history of our first
year at war.
A successful effort has been made
to picture the governments handling
OF the gigantic task of preparation for
war. The recruiting of our army, the
building of huge environments, the cloth
ing and feeding of our troops, the MAX
ing of arms to equip them, the build
ing of enormous ship yards and the
rapidiby with which ships are being
built and launched.
You see our boys in training, fleets
of aeroplanes in dizzying fight, our
great floating fortresses on vigilant
guard, our swift destroyers searching
the sea for the hated German peris-
cope.
The greater part of the picture shows
our boys maybe your boys--in France.
1t follows them along the long road to
the front. 1t shows the vast stores OF
munitions and supplies flowing like
rivers through the quaint French vii
lagos up to the front line trenches. IT
depicts the first American field gun ia

and occupying first line trench, the
first batch of German prisoners taken
by our soldiers, the first baptism be.

Secretary of War Baker is seen ON
his first tour of inspection in France,
examining the great guns, the aero
plane squadrons and the American bows
who man them. General Pershing and
staff accompanies him in his visits to
the camps of our CRUSADERS.
1t is picture every mother, sister
or sweetheart of soldier should see.
It is better than letter from the bows
over there for at the Rhode you can
see him actually at the grim business
and the light-hearted play of war.
"Pershing's Crusaders won big
applause from large crowds on Sunday.
It will be shown here until Wednesday
night.

WANT MORE VOLUNTEERS.
Food Administrator fl. T.. Bullamore
Puts in New Call for Pa
triotic Workers.

Food Administrator III. L. Bulla-
more is putting in new call for work
ers. No doubt the volunteer service
Of every girl in Kenosha is being taxed
to the limit with the many calls for pa
triotic service but the girls are answer
irg bravely, many of them afdliating
themselves with as many as three or
four causes.
The very latest cause that is demand
ing the help of a good squad Of work
ers is that of managing the sugar pa
pers in the department. of the Food
Administrator. Every slip that is is
sued by the housewives Of Kenosha
must be recorded and checked off and
in order to do this systematically, a
certain number Of workers are re-
quired every week.
Mr.. Bullamore is asking for girls
to come every Tuesday to help
those who have already been donating
their services for the last month.
Long before the exemption board girls
started their splendid work, eight pa
triotic young Kenoshans have been la
boriously attacking, every week stack
of work that needed perhaps twice
this number. Since then many of them
have enlisted their services in other
causes and their places must be filed
at once. The girls who have so gener-
ously given their time to this call are
The Misses Emily and Edna Bond,
Elizabeth Robinson, Margaret Purnell,
Catherine Cooper, Alice Newman, Eli
zsbeth Lyman, and Mrs. Richie Pur-
nell,
Those who can join these girls to
give every Tuesday to their coun-
try should phone Mr.. Bullamore at his
residence. There is no doubt that
local patriots will answer this call Just
as they have answered every other CALL
with that vim and vigor and is SO char
acteristic of Kenosha.

divan was splendid slumbering place
for one lucky jack, while the pool table
proved q less comfortable retreat Tor
several more. The chairs were all filed
az were the library tables and those
who could not squeeze in were forced
to look elsewhere. Many Kenoshans
kindly took some of the boys home for
the night, others found a soft bed on
the grounds of the Library park. One
agent down at the Northwestern sta
ton opend up the coaches for the un-
fortunates and a dozen or more oc-
cupied the seats all night. They all
assured Kenoshans that they slept
through the night in spite of Difficult
ties, ALTHOUGH many of them accepted
the invitation to take an afternoon nap
in the homes of several sympathetic
citizens, and their actions certainly
belied their words.
1t is just possible that this great
need of sleeping quarters will be en-
tirely remedied by next Saturday and
those attending to the matter had bet
ter be- prepared to accommodate just
twice as many as were here last week
as the boys have all declared that they
were going to come again and bring
their friends Kenosha has at last
awakened to the fact that these boys
thousands and thousands of whom are
very far from home, must have whole
some recreation after a week of hard,
hard grind, and Kenosha like every
other north shore town is going to use
every energy to entertain her visitors.
So far we have a short but glorious re-
cord.
