The standard veneer potato barrel

summer or autumn, but for winter
shipment the double-headed stave bar
rel or tight box is often used. The
small type Of package, such as the
bushel hamper, bushel box, or basket,

Sweet potatoes. when shipped during
the winter, should be protected from
the cold. When a potato becomes
chilled it's quality is impaired and de-
cay soon follows. In cold weather the
package should be covered with paper

vent chilling the potatoes. Some ship

+; Doris Lane could gather little from
the kind eyes Of the physician who re.
: moved the bandages, and her hopes
rose. From the moment of the explo.
sion in the chemical laboratory In
which she had been employed, during
the long days Of suffering in the hos
pital, she did not dare to ask If she
would be left with 4 badly SCARED
face. The question seemed, for the
time being. vain and foolish in her sit.
.uation, but now that life was assured,
she began to wonder If for all her
days she was to meet the plying, ques-
tioning look that the unmaimed give
the MANNED.
Doctor, how do I look?" she asked,
smiling as bravely as she could.
The gray-headed surgeon smiled in
answer, and said in his grave, kind
way: swell, little girl, I think you
,have a pair Of the finest brown eyes
II have ever seen, and your hair"
"But I didn't mean that" she said
;hurriedly.
Il know, but your question put me
in the old-enough-to-ask class; SO l
wanted to tell you" He looked at her
gently. "There is just one bad scar,
the others will fade, am sure. YOU
might bring Miss Lane Mirror" he
said to the waiting nurse.
She was weak with suffering, and
her mind was tortured with questions
;Of the future, for her training had
been limited and the simple matter
of livelihood was no small item now.
SO when she saw in the truthful glass
the livid scar that raced it's ugly line
across her forehead, and the blotches
}below where the flying acid had
touched, she moaned in anguish.

Darkness, and she opened her tear

that her eyes had been bandaged, he
had been to her merely pleasant
lvoice and gentle fingers. Now she saw
