Some days ago it was reported that
August zauft had sold his place in
the town of Merrimack to August Klu-
ender but about the time the deal was
closed the American Refractories com
pany came along with $4,000 additional
and took the land. The canister COM
pany had a perpetual lease on por-
ton of the farm and in case they oper-
ated it would be veryannoying to the
family residing on the place. When
Mr.. Kluender learned the company
expected to blast he was not par

let it go to the company. 1t is stated
the company expects to open q quarry
there or at Devils Nose soon.
The sale of the Kluender place to
the Ridgeway purchaser is still pend

POTATO MARKET
OPENS THIS WEEK

The potato market opens this week.
The Deppe- Carpenter Lumber & Pro-
duce company, one of the shipping
firms states the price paid will be
about $3.50 a hundred or 90c BUSH
Ell. Just what the price will be little
later is hard to predict. On account OF
the low price it is thought many OF
the growers will hold their spuds I'M
til later.
The crop in this section is very
good.
Do you remember in 1916 when you
could secure all the potatoes that you
craved at 81 per bushel? How dlffe-
rent from the year of 1880, when
they We're worth nearly 10 cents
apiece.
The wholesale prices in Chicago
for the past year were as follows:
October 13, 1919-$3.40 to $3.50; Nov
ember, $500; December 20, $340 to
$3.50; January 20, 1920, S4.75 to $3.50;
February 2, 1920, $4.55 to $4.65; March
29, Sc to 500; April 10, $3.50 to$7.-
IS; May II, $3.50 to $50; June Z, So
so to $9.75; luJy, $40 to $7.35; Au-
gust q, $3.50 to $295; September 8,
$3.50 to $2.40 and October 8, $2.15 to
1925.
The highest figure that King Po-
tato reached was June T. when spuds
sold for 1915 per hundred pounds.
From that time they steadily declined
until today the cost per hundred
pounds is waverng between $40 to
$3.50.
Chicago consumers are trying to
force the cost Of potatoes down farth-
er yet, but the retailers and whole
salers say that the lowest level hSs
been reached for some time to come
at least.

DEALING WITH TURKEY.

Gradually are we approaching the time when the situation regarding the future of. Turkey will be determined. The reported definite decision of the allied supreme council to interna- itionalize the Dardaneiles creates no surprise.3 That is a move that has been anticipated. It is a step that should guarantee the keeping open of this connection between the. Medi terraneah and Black seas; and the one way that Russia and Rumania have of carrying on trade by water.
 But equally as great attention will have to be given to the settlement of the other quesion in that region. It has been indicated that Turkey will be allowed to remain in Europe. From such evidence as has been furnished in support of this probability it seems not improbable but it is plain ly evident that Turkey, wherever it is allowed. to exercise control must be impressed with the fact that it will be charged with the responsibility of preventing any further outbreaks against the Armenians by Turkish subjects.
 Turkey has already done enough, or left undone enough; to warrant it's elimination as a government. Its record against Armenia alone is enough to deny it all consideration. but there are other subject people who have suffered horribly and un- justly at it's hands.
 Whatever the final decision and whatever the arrangement as to the future of Turkey it will be only a semblance of the former empire. Turkey has been under the knife. That it is not completely wiped out may be, as claimed, due to the fact that it may still be the means of stir ring lip 8 great reliigeus war in that part of the world but it must be inn pressed upon it that such lease of life as 1t may be given will be sub ject to it's conduct in the future Turkey of the future will have to be- have with clipped wings or it will lose it's head.

COAL BY WATER.

Whatever relief is possible for New England in getting soft coal is bound to be welcome The announcement to the effect that the appeal of the gov. ernors of this section to the shipping board for the assignment of more coal vessels for New England trade has brought results and that six will 1be placed in commission for this pur-' pose is gratifying. It indicates that the governors accomplished some thing by their meeting.
 There is no reason why New Eng land should not be provided with suf- ficient coal to keep its industries go- ing and there is no reason with the large additions to the tonnage in the past two years why increased and better water service in the coal car rying business should not be provid- ed. To get coal by water has been the logical method for New England. It was interrupted by the war and the increased burden placed upon the railroads, when as a matter of fact they had more than they could at tend to properly otherwise. But the after war conditions have not reach ed normal, and the shortage of coal caused by the strike, the failure to move enough for New England to lay by any in case of an emergency and the tying up of much rolling stock by the storms have placed it in a serious condition.
 New England isn't calamity howl ing. It is faced by an actual situa- ton, a bad feature of which has been the failure of the federal railroad ad- ministration to provide sufficient coal to keep the locomotives running with out seizing fuel that was on it's way to public utilities and industries. It is therefore bound to welcome what ever efforts result in it's getting a sufficient coal supply to keep the wheels revolving, but realizing at the same time that the provision of more ships for the carrying of coal should be of much help now and ought to be 2 of similar help later on unless wa ter rates are prohibitive.

Stories That Recall Others.
Helping Grandfather.

The other evening Billy was over to his grandfather's house for supper While they were eating grandfath- CT sneezed. It stopped his conversa- tion for minute, and then just as he started to resus1e it, Billy spoke up, What do you say, grandpa?" he ask ed.
 Grandfather looked mystified for a minute; then again began to talk. Again Billy persisted, What do you say, grandpa?"
 More mystifed looks Then Billy in formed him, Grandpa" he said, sweetly, isn't this a 'scuse me table like euFs?"

 The stenographer was discussing her birthday purchases with, the girl who worked across the hall. Its rath- CT strange but all my nieces and nephews have birthdays about this time of the year and I've been buying something for all of them except the newest one,' she said, land she is only two months old. Can't you sug- gest something for a baby of that age?"
 The other girl smiled. ''Why, are you going to get her anything?' she said baby two months old doesn't under. stand birthdays, and anyway, it ism time for one"
 "No," agreed the stenographer. "i isn't time for a birthday present, ant she would not notice that others were getting presents when she wasn't, bu her mother would"

may have been due to the fact that we were not properly prepared in that direction, but more was appar- ently due to the way in which the money was thrown in this direction and that with improper supervision, especially in connection with those cost-plus contracts where the greater the expenditures there was made the bigger the gain to be secured. The sub committee report censures Direc- tor Ryan and his assistant but oth- erwise it doesn't appear to have brought out anything more than was presented in the Hughes report.

OTHER VIEW POINTS.

Even s5 a day does not keep the necessary number of immigrants here to do the hard work of digging. etc. The way these foreigners are going back to Europe is appalling, from the standpoint of the inroads on so- called day labor. What is to be done about it About the only answer is admit the collies from Japan and China. The Pacific coast may have to withdraw it's objections as conditions become more and more serious.-Wat- erbury American.
 The teachers of the public schools deserve the increase in wage. That is admitted. The public wants them to have the increase. That has been abundant1y testified to. The city can afford to meet the increase. It is diff ficult to see how under these circum- stances government that is said to be efficient cannot function under such conditions. Above all, we counsel the leachers to carry on in patience un- Just though the experience be. They are making friends every day and will sooner or later profit by the fact in full measure.

 Two things can be done in the emergency. The firemen have been digging out the hydrants. The street department has been hard at the job Of breaking openings thru the busi- ness section.

AIRPLANE EXPENDITURES.

- Once again has the airplane expen- iditures in this country been dug into. and as on other occasions it is found by a sub committee of the lower house of congress to have been "a riot of waste" Thus the outcome is much the same as was disclosed by the investigation that was made by Charles E. Hughes some time ago, and in fact the majority of the com mittee doesn't appear to have found conditions much different than MT. Hughes set them forth.
 There is no question but what the country was in regrettabIe condi- lion as far as airplane equipment was concerned when this country entered the war and for many months after ward. The situation was one that called for the putting forth of un- usual efforts and the planning for production far different than had previously been attempted. Because of the state of affairs it was to be expected that expenditures would be large, and 1t has. cost huge sums to obtain war material of other kinds but that didn't justify the wasting 0, money in any of the lines of effort The unusual conditions would justify higher prices for war material de- Iivered as quickly as possible and ir quantities, but not waste.
 When it Is realized that we spent considerably over a billion dollars 1T order to get less than 250 flying ma chimes in Europe in more than a year and a haIf it must he realizad thai Fe paid an awful price. Some of that
