When it is considered that the value
of the sweet potato has increased more
than 80 per cent in the last ten years,
that it now ranks second in value
among the vegetables in the United
States, that the value of the 1917 crop
reached the huge sum Of $90,0OO,000,
and that of 1918 is estimated at almost
SLIT 100000 it is not difficult to under
stand why so much interest is being
taken in this crop. The lowly potato,
so long accustomed to coming to mar

There is a growing sentiment, both
among apple growers and dealers, in
favor of standard apple-grading laws,
say specialists of the bureau Of mar
kets, United States department of agri-
culture. The objects, they say, to be
attained by such laws are: Elfmina-
tion of fraud and deception, preven-
ton Of waste, establishing basis for
trading, creation and maintenance of
confidence, stabilization of the market,
and encouragement of better methods
Of production and handling.
The first definite attempt toward Sc
curing the passage Of a national apple
grade law was initiated in 1907 by a
number of prominent growers, ship
pers, and dealers, who were instru-
mental, after working on the problem
for several years, in getting the Sulzer
bill enacted in congress. This bill be-
came a law in August, 1912, when it
effect July 1, 1913. Although this law
was not mandatory, it served a valua-
bic purpose in awakening and crystal
lizing public sentiment throughout the
country favOring the enactment Of leg
islation which would serve to stabilize
the barrel-apple industry by eliminat-
ing fraudulent and deceptive packing
and by establishing uniform basis for
buying and selling.
BarreIed AppIe-Grade Laws.
The first state mandatory apple
grade law was passed in Maine in 1913.
The following year New York passed
similar law covering barreled apples,
which is still in effect in an amended
form. This was followed by similar
legislation in Massachusetts, Vermont
New Hampshire, Connecticut, Della
ware, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan
Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Wis
consin-a total of 13 states.
The state laws have not been wholly
successful in obtaining the desired re-
suits, because the requirements in some
cases have not been practical and be-
cause the extent to which they have
been enforced in some states has varied
so greatly that in many instances the
grade terms have come to have little
value. However, they have done much
good. In spite of the objections men
toned, a state law that is practical in
its specifications and intelligently en-
forced will carry with it many advan-
tages.
Specialists in the bureau of markets
have conducted investigations in all
producing sections and at packing
houses handling the products of ap-
proximately 1000 commercial orchards
from the Atlantic to the Pacific coasts
to ascertain the need Of national uni

HONOR MEDALS
 MADE IN PH|LA,

Philadelphia, Feb. 1O-Every medal that the United States government confers is made in the Philadelphia mint For the War Department alone. the big Federal money factory Is at present turning out p types of medals. The badges of honor award ed to Marshals Foch, Haig and JOffre, and other distinguished Allied commanders, were the product of the mint.
 Marshall Foch is reported to have remarked that the American Distin- guished Service Medal is the hand somest military decoration awarded. About two hundred of these medals of bronze and brilliant blue enamel are made every week in this city and turned over to the War Department for shipment to the camps and army headquarters at home and abroad.
 Many more of the Military Crosses, awarded for valor, are being made. More than five thousand of these have already been shipped from the mint In manufacturing these medals ten impressions are made by a hydraulic press on a small square of bronze, beginning with 100 tons pressure and increasing to 250 tons. After the die has been stamped in this fashion, the cross is cut out by machine. The | medal is then passed to workmen who fashion the little cross-bars from which it is suspended, ribbons are attached and the decoration is placed in box ready for delivery. The United States Navy Medal Of Honor is also made at the mint Here are manufactured the various kinds of medals awarded for sharpshooting, craftsmanship and other honors of the service.
 An order now being filled calls for
 10000 Mexican service medals, at- tractive bronze discs for the men who were in the Vera Cruz expedition Now that the Peace Conference at Paris has approved the award of a | distinctive service medal to every l man who served in any of the Allied armies. the Philadelphia mint may be called upon to manufacture medals by the million.

DIFFICULTIES OF
 SIBERIAN WINTER

With American Forces in Northern Russia, Dec. 26, via London, Jan. 15 -(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-One night spent in field headquarters of the American com mand holding the Emtsa river front near Kadish (since abandoned) Illus trated the difficulties which the troops faced in this desolate region in an Arctic winter.
 Field headquarters were in a tiny rough hewn log cabin, matched with a roof of spruce boughs and heated by a home made stove. Outside, in by lean-to's of boughs, shivered around camp fires In the snow. h. side the hut were a few cots, rough table and field telephone.
 The cold wind whistled through the chinks in the logs, and came up through cracks in the floor. The of ficers turned in" early, wrapped in all the blankets and overcoats they could get.
 Down along the banks of the ice filled Emtsa river, hundred yards from the Bolshevist lines American outposts patrols stamped their boots on the frozen swamp ground in the brush, unable to build fires for fear of snipers.
 "Bzz- bzz-bz went the field tele- phone in headquarters hut.
 The orderly called the machine gun officer. From the conversation, ii appeared that the water In the cool ing chambers of the "Emma-gees' (the soldiers pet name for machine guns) in the front line had frozen and that the recoil would not work Because there was no alcohol or gly, cerine handy, rum had been mixed as an anti-freezing fluid, with the water in the cooling chambers. The officer said he would send down some new guns. He went out to find tha, every gun In the place was in the same fix. A long row of them was

Paris, Feb. 10-One of the activi- ties of the Knights of Columbus in the war area is the mobile kitchen group which is following the units of the American Expeditionary Force from camp to camp.
 On the long marches that have be- come the rule since the signing ot the arnistice the men find hot choco- late, bouillon and other warm food most acceptable. Twenty of these cars are in use in the area of mill tary operations in France, Belgium and Germany. Others will soon be sent to Italy and the south of France Like every other service of the Knights of Columbus the distribution of the products of these kitchens is free, 1t is announced.

INDIRECT LIGHTING.

Speaking of house decorating brings to mind a very pretty idea which a decorator is showing. This new idea is in the indirect ceiling lamp. The bowl-like shape is arranged with double glass fastened together with brass screw. The new idea is be- tween these two glasses. They come apart and they may. be lined with any color to harmonize with the decora- ton of the room. A piece of chintz may be inserted, and, To! the effect is as if etched upon the glass in a most beautiful manner If one tires of this effect one may place the plain colors and another entirely different effect is obtained. For festive occas- ions the lamps may be decorated to accord with the rooms color scheme

PARISIANS LIKE

Paris. Feb. -(Correspondence of The Associated Press)-A French man, a. small merchant of Paris, of fers this as one explanation of the peculiarly popular demonstration with which the Parisans received Presi- dent Wilson.
 I've have had many rulers come to visit us in these late weeks he said, but crowned heads like the Kings of England, Italy and Belgium cannot dissociate themselves from their mili- tary rank. They come in wonder ful uniforms with entourages glitter ing with braid ard decorations. Els eentialIy their receptions had to par take of the military aspect in a dom inant manner. To the salutes and cheers of the crowds these rulers had to make only the stiff military salute of acknowledgement. Naturally this is not very personal. Even kings salute is like that of any other of ficer.

 Hereafter ordered the machine gun officer, sleep with the guns Wrap them up in the same blankets with yourselves"
 Meanwhile, someone filled up the stove to hasten the thawing out pro- cess of the guns nearby. The hut got so hot, that an officer turned and tossed nervously in his sleep. Then a soldier rushed in to shout that the hut had been set on fire from the overloaded chimney.
 All turned out In the snow to empty canteene- only unfrozen water at hand-on the roof to extinguish the fire.
 Then the officers went back into the hut to shiver, for in saving the hut, the fire In the stove had been extin- guished.
