that we can fight; there is no doubt
Of that, but let us take as our in

SAVE THE POTATO CROP.

Last year the farmers were asked to plant a
larger acreage of potatoes than ever before.
They were led by the United States department
of agriculture to believe that drying plants and
other means would be provided to take care of
any surplus, and better market facilities to
stabilize and maintain fair range of prices
The farmers, having confidence in the de-
partment and federal food administration at
Washington, made good And as result the
closing days of the potato market season have
come with millions of bushels of potatoes re-
naming unsold on the farms. These millions
of bushels of tubers must be used for food,
dried or made into starch within the next two
months or they will rot and be worthless as
food.
The government experts know this, yet in
stead of making any practical move to save
the crop now in pits and cellars ready for use,

they are starting another campaign for big
acreage the coming season.
The United States department of agriculture
talked of erecting plants for drying potatoes IN
potato producing states last fall. They now
say plants will be started some time this year.
But potato market authority who has been
Investigating matters from the producers
viewpoint, asks: "Why not have these drying
plants nowY Why not utilize all the available
means in saving the present crop7" 1t is SAID
that in potato producing sections of our middle
west there are a number of beet sugar plants,
which could be quickly equipped to care for
vast quantities of dried potatoes; and there are
numerous starch factories that could be used
for handling the surplus

TODAYS BIT OF VERSE

THE SONG OF THE CAMP.
Give us song" the soldier cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
When the heated guns OF the camps allied
Grew weary of bombardirg.
The dark Redan in silent scott,
Lay grim and threatening under;
And the tawny mound of the Malakoff
No longer belched its thunder.
There was pause. A guardsman said.
Eve storm the forts tomorrow;
Sing wl:ile may, another day,
Will bring enough of sorrow.
They lay along the -batterys side,
Below the smoking cannon;
Brave hearts from Severn and from Clyde,
And from the banks of Shannon.
They sang of love, and not of fame,
Forgot was Brtain's glory;
Each heart recalled different name,
But all sang annie Laurie"
Voice after voice caught up the song
Until it's tender passion
Rose like an anthem, rich and strong,
Their battle-eye confession.
Dear girl, her name he dared not speak,
But as the song grew louder,
Something upon the soldiers cheek,
Washed off the stains Of powder.
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
The bloody sunsets embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again fire OF hell
Rained on the Russian quarters,
With scream of shot and burst OF shell
And believing OF mortars!
And Irish Norah's eyes are dim
For singer dumb and CORY;
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang of Annie Laurie.
Sleep soldiers still in honored rest,
Your truth and yalor wearing,
The brayest are the tenderest
The loving the daring.

As to Bridge Tolls.


AS to Bridge Tolls.
To the Editor of The Gate City: :,
In last nights Gate there appeared
an article that, to use no stronger
term. was misleading as to tolls over
the bridge.
Some years ago application was
made to the interstate commerce
commission by the bridge company TO
issue a tariff and authority to do SO
was granted and one published
against which Mr.. Maxwell, OF the
Wabash, protested and the interstate
commerce commission ordered IL
withdrawn on the ground that the
bridge company was not common
carrier. ;,
For years tariff known as W. q.
T. No. 65 was In force on all the
bridges from Louisiana, Mo-. up 10
Dubuque, but a year or two ago the
interstate commerce COMMISSION
made an order that compelled the
railroads to abandon that but they
Immediately put in division notice"
that was simply copy of the old w.
q. It. No. IS with a different heading
and that did not require approval OF
the Interstate commerce commission
This statement shows then how
tolls are fixed at Keokuk, in which
the bridge company has no voice.
AS is known to all shippers, rates
have been advanced until the people
of this city are paying good stiir
rates which on coal are probably hign-
er than anywhere else in the United
States, for like haul, and this gives
the Wabash such an earning that they
are willing to punish the bridge COM
pany by taking coal into Hannibal
paying a bridge toll there and receiv-
ing as their proportion probably y
cents a ton, and the %" takes the
remaining As cents for the haul into
Keokuk. If brought directly into
Keokuk, the Wabash would earn con-
siderable more, but as the United
States has guaranteed the railroads
an earning based on former years,
This counts for nothing
The T. P. & w. are lugged in with
out any reason except to make case,
IL possible; but that road has not
even protested against the action OF
the bridge company, realizing that
what was asked, j. e., a more equitable
division of the tolls fixed by the
roads. was due the bridge company,
which has been at very heavy expense
and given Keokuk the best bridge
and the lowest highway tolls on the
Mississippi river.
