"Well we are. aren't we?" he asked
perfectly oblivious to how anything

door through which he passed nearly
hit me on the face.
He was SO intent upon getting the
proper accommodations that for the

for whom, presumably. he was getting
them. Although I did not realize it,
have since found that this singleness

dominating characteristic It has made
him the successful business man that
he Is, but sometimes I have thought

essential. 1t is usually not advisable
to excavate more than 6 inches. max
ing the pit long and narrow rather
than square in shape. 1t Is lnadvisa-
BILE to store q large bulk OF potatoes
in one pit.
The potatoes are stored over q light
layer of straw on the floor. while the
pile is insulated against cold and heat
by covering the spuds with alternate
layers of straw or hay and soil. Dur
ing the late fall, as the weather grows
colder. more straw, as well as more
soil, should be added to form prOtec-
tive Overcoat for the potatoes. Each
layer of straw when cOmpacted should
be approximately six inches thick.
while the final layer of soil should be
six to eight inches deep, depending up
on weather conditions. Ventilation
may be provided by means of wooden
1ue, the lower end of which extends
almost to the bottom Of the pit, while
the upper end should project well
above the covering, the valve being
vent the entrance of rain or snow, and
also in order that it may be closed en-
tirely during very cold weather.
A pit of this sort when well made
will provide perfect protection for the
potatoes until spring, the objection to
ii being that the potatoes stored there
i'm are not always accessible during the
winter.
In regions where rainfall is slight,
dugout potato cellars are commonly
used, it not being necessary to provide
these buildings with water-tight roofs.
Usually the pit or hog back" as it is
called, Is placed on short, narrow
ridge Of land which permits of easy
approach and Il central driveway into
the pit at the grade line. 1t is neces-
sary to brace such potatoes by means
of posts and plates in order to prevent
cave-ins. Some of the pits are more
expensive and substantial, with the
side and end walls made Of concrete.
Generally 1t Is advisable to have the
storage cellars or pits equipped with
some system of artificial lighting.
Central Driveway in Cellar.
The storage cellar is usually provid-
ed with a driveway entrance and Is
considerably wider than the cellars
without driveways, which often are
only II to 30 feet wide, the entire space
| being used for storage purposes and
the floor being either dirt, wood or con-
crete. Some Of the best storages have
driveways through the middle with bins
on either side, the driveway being an
earthen one with the storage bins hav-
ing ventilated wooden floors laid on
joists placed at right angles to the
driveway and thus furnishing an I'M
restricted circulation Of air beneath

CORN STANDARD NOW RISING
Fraction for 1918 Was 82.5 Per Cent,
Slightly Above Mean for the Pre-

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Merchantable corn was 82.4 per cent
Of the entire crop during the last 80
years, and the percentage has been
declining one. In 1SSS-1S97 the mean
was 846 per cent; in 1S9S-19O7, S3.4

cent. The standard Of merchanta-
bility appears to be rising. The frac-
ton for 1918 was S25 per cent, or
almost the mean for 80 years, but
above the mean of the preceding ten

General Campaign Against the
Profiteers Is Started by
the Government.
PACKERS TO Be PROSECUTED
President ORDERS Proceedings Against
The "Big Five"-Railway Unions
Demand More Pay, Urge the
Plumb Plan and Threaten
to Strike.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

The open season for profiteers has
come. If there is bright spot in the
worlds sky, that Is 1t. For the rest
the clouds are black enough to suit
the most confirmed pessimist.
Government officials. investigating
bodies. individual economists-al have
been earnestly seeking for the prime
causes of the high cost of living. The
cold-bloOded, greedy profiteer who ba'-
tens on the misfortunes of the people
Is the most easily discerned of those
causes and Is going to he the first TO
be dealt with. All the sympathy he
gets must come from himself.
Most prominent of the alleged profit
GERS are the Chicago packers the "big
five" who are reputed to control much
OF the worlds food supplies. Some
time ago they were investigated by the
federal trade commission and that body
made a report that was bitterly at
tackled by the defenders Of the pack
ers. Now with that report as basis
President Wilson has directed the de-
partment of justice to institute AT once
civil and criminal proceedings against
the big five. The attorney general stat
ed that he was satisfied the evidence
developed indicated a clear violation
of the antitrust laws. and that IsadOr
J. Kresel OF New York was In charge
Of the prosecution. The packers are
to be accused OF unfairly and Illegally
using their power TO manipulate live
stock markets, to restrict interstate
and international supplies Of foods. to-
control the prices Of dressed meats
and other foods. to defraud both the
producers and the consumers Of foods,
to crush competition, TO secure special
privileges from railroads. stock yards
companies and municipalities and TO
profteer. The department Of justice
will proceed against them not only for
violation OF the antitrust laws hut also
under the provisions Of the food law Of
1918 against the boarding Of food.

As for the heads Of the big packing
companies. some Of them profess to
welcome the legal action as giving them
a chance to demonstrate to the public
their innocence. harmlessness and help
lessness. and all Of them repeat their
oft heard prOtestations that they are
the victims OF economic conditions he
yond anybody's control. Their asser-
lions that they make an almost infin-
itesmal profit and often operate nj
loss do not seem to make much i'm
preston on either the public or the
agencies OF Justice. That their state
ments are not always Ingenious Is In
stanced by the following assertion Of

Of one Of the big Ave.
