The potato dearth was helped out
Monday by the Gamble Robinson
Company of this city, who received
two car loads Of spuds. one for home
consumption and one car Of registered
Early Ohios for seed. Most Of our
business houses got some of these po-
tatoes and had them on sale. They
tell us that in Moorhead the ware
houses are bullying with potatoes, but
we do not know whether this is true
or not. If it is there should be no
need of potato shortage.
