1t is meet that someone should arise
and announce a thanksgiving. The
Justification as well as the opportunity
is here. In the one article OF food
which almost more than any other
fills the stomachs of the world there
is plenty. Potatoes! Now, the potato
is not an object of beauty or adula-
ton; ii has only a pasSable bloom,
and its form is prOsaic, but when it
comes to real substance II stands as
one of the great things of the world
1t is the statement of l.. II. Bailey. an
authority on agricultural matters, that
zone acre of potatoes frequently fur
nishes as much human food as ten
acres of wheat" The potato produc-
ton of the world rises to the extra
ordinary total of 5000 100000 bushels.
Yields of 1000 and even Of 200 BUSH
els to the acre are on record. In our
country ii leads all truck crops. In Eu-
rope the pOtaro crop is doing as much
as any other agency to save the peO-
pie. 1t is godsend to the stricken
lands. In America ii is furnishing
about the only cheap food in sight

DO HEAVY WORK OF FARM
Women Who Supply City of KieS With
Milk Toll Long Hours and
OVERWHELMINGLY.

Wars and revolutions may change
the face of a land and bring untold
woe upon nOn-cOmbatanJs, as we'll as
soldiers, but the customs of a coun-
try are often more powerful than the
force of arms. writes Temple Manning
in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Those
who survive keep on in much the
same way they went before the war,
and do their work as their fathers and
mothers did long before them. The
way the city of Kiev gets its milk is an
instance which proves the point.
For centuries the mothers of the
families which ran the farms about
the city were the milkmaids of Kiev.
Today the farmers wives and their
daughters the tumults in and
about that city-see that Kiev is not
without its milk.
The women do the heaviest part of
the farm work. They have always
done il. They would be surprised
should they be told that in another
land men do the heavy work of the
farm. And not the least hard work
Kiev is the caring for the cows. the
milking and the getting of that milk
to market. For in Kiev there are no
milk companies which gather the milk.
transport 1t and sell IL
At daybreak and often earlier than
the sun, the farm wives of Kiev rise
and hurry into the barnyard. They
care for the cows and do the milking.
But their work is not then done. In
small jars which hold perhaps two
quarts, the women pour the milk. They
fill as many jars as the milk the cows
have given require. Then they tie
three or four jars together. and at
tach them TO one end of a pole. To
the other end of the pole they tie
the rest of the jars. STOPPING, they
get one shoulder under the pole, lift
the milk jars, and off they start to
market.
The distance may be six miles or
even more, and the weight Of the milk
jars very great, yet these miikmaids
of Kiev are used to hard work, and
to carrying great weights. Uncom-
planning. they start down the long
road, which may be deserted when they
leave their farmhouse. But before they
have gone far they are joined by wOm-
en- from other farms, until the milk
procession into Kiev becomes an al
most continuous line of women carry
ing their burdens carefully TO mar
ket, where they sell their wares.
