Most of the 413,OO0 000-busheI crop
of potatoes harvested in the United
States will be shipped by rail, and
large part of 1t will go in box cars at
a time when the temperature is below
freezing. These cars will remain ex-
posed to the weather for days at
time, and even where refrigerator cars
are used the frost will perneate the
thick insulated walls. Experiences
chow that to ship potatoes successfully
n winter artificial heat is necessary,
and in sections where the most pota-
oes are shipped it has been found%ex-
,edient to install stoves. Few rail
roads have yet come to the point of
beating produce cars, although it is
hoped that more will do so eventually.
Studied Car Heating.
AT a time when the conservation of
every ounce of food was vital the
bureau of markets. United States De-
partment of Agriculture, made study
Of car-heating arrangements for po-
tato shipments, and the method de-
- ed has been put into successful use.

THE RED CROSS

The American Red Cross of Siberia will transport 76l Petrograd school children from vIadivostok to their former homes in Soviet Russia. The voyage via the Panama canal will take three months. and the expense to tho Red Cross will be about s1.O0O. 900. , These boys and girls are some of the 5000 who were sent out of Pet rograd in 1918. Where are the others? What tragedies would be unfolded were their fates known?
 But those who are left, those who can he found, the American Red Cross is bringing home. Probably not one in a thousand of those generous Ameri- cans who have been giving their dol lars to this great orfianization will know of this work. Probably not one in a thousand will know of other ac- tivities of tho Red Cross. always awake to chances such as this which no other organization in tho world would dare to contemplate.
 While the war was in progress the Red Cross was given it's share of praise. It's work was so prominent. it's labors so necessary that no one could fail to appreciate the organization. But before the war that work went on. and snce that work has been con tinued and one forgets. one should never forget.

 But if New England is the clean est district" in the matter of liquor it behooves New Britain to watch out. In certain parts of the city nearly every night may be seen or heard men decidedly under the in fiuence of liquor. They are usually very happy. They indulge in bar room close harmony and their favorite theme is. How happy you are when you're drunk" Nor are they men who hesitate to use the crude word in place of the more gentle intoxicated" Usually they are only disgusting: at all times they are capable of things that are far worse.

\. Y. DEMOCRATS.

The unofficial Democratic State Convention furnishes interesting data for forecasting what will be the ac- ton Of the voters of the state on election day in the opinion of the Democrats.
 The keynote speech was distinctly favorable to the League of Nations, versely eriticizing the Republicans objections to 1t. Frank II. Mott. the speaker. received tremendous ap- plause in his praise of the admins tration's stand in this regark
 The significance of the prohibition plank makes the anticipated declara- ton one of the few positive stands by any great body of politicians in this campaign. It is predicted with confidence that tho platfom will ad- here b the sentiment expressed in the law passed by the Assembly per mitting manufacture and sale of 2.75 per cent beer.
 It Is said that this plank will con- tain a condemnation of the saloon and a declaration for the amendment of the act to permit the manufac- ture and sale of beverages of an al- coholic content small enough to be considered notwithstanding.
 There is little question but that this sort of a plank will gain votes in the State of New York, containing as 1t does the great metropolis. The upstate people will be less inclined to rejoice over 1t. and some of them will remember the farmer witness in law suit. rather fond of the flow ing bowl" rho was asked if he was intoxicated on a certain occasion.
 No" he replied promptly.
 When. exactly. do you consider that you are intoxicated?" inquired the oss-examiner.
 When I can't walk" said the wit ness.
 Perhaps this tale is scarcely fair. It is to De presumed that the New York Assembly will not join in the witness's definition. but the elasticity of the blanks declaration, if the Vol stead act is repealed. will bring joy to many a heart that thigsts.

NEW ENGLAND PRAISED.

New England is credited with being the cIeanest district in the country in regard to the prohibition enforce ment law.
 Many believe the eighteenth amend ment should never have been adopt cd: more believe 1t should be lenient- Iy enforced, and a lot of people be- lieve as long as it is in the Consti- tuition. the volstead enforcement law should be modified so as to allow the sale of light wines and beer. or should be repealed. giving the differ ent states the right to say just what intoxicating liquor means.
 But all will admit that the repu- tation of being the ''cleanest district in the country in regard to the en- foreement of any part of tho law of the land. is high praise indeed.
 Ordinarily decent citizens so about their business as though the law were going to bc enforced. Prohibition ist or "anti.' one makes ones plans in the belief that the law will be enforced. In the case of prohibition one does not expect to find lax en- forcemont anywhere. Tho fnct that there Is less iaxiy in New England
