SWEET POTATOES FILMED
 FROM STOREHOUSE TO MARKET

The rapid deterioration of sweet po- tatoes between the time they are dug an dthe day they reach the consumer can be checked several ways, say specialists of the Bureau of Markets an dCrop Estimates of the Unted States Department of Agriculture. To show rght methods of handling thls periShable product, a new motion pie t,fre film. Sweet Potatoes from Store house to Market" has been prepared under the supervision of the bureau.
 Since storage is essential if the grower is to sell to advantage, wrong and rgiht ways of storng are shown first. When the bank or pit method IS used. the loss due to decay runs from : Oto 75 per cent When the potatoes are properly cured ill a good storage house. carefully handled at all stages to prevent bruising, and kept at the right temperatures degrees r.. while curing, 50 degrees F. afterwards the loss may be less than per cent
 The film shows first model stor- age house of frame construction on concrete pillars. with details of walls, roofing. ventilation, and heating. Then tbe potatoes are seen stored, to De later shipped in crats, not bulk, after a preliminary grading. Inside views of regular storage house show the details of each stage in the progress of the sweet potato crates, which are finally loaded on a refrigerator car for shipment. An inspector certlhes the state of the car, and the last de- tail is the bracing of the crates to prevent their slipping. The damage caused by failure to brace a shipment nroperly closes the story.

RATE REDUCTION
 AID TO FARMERS
Price For Export is What Sets Price For Whole American Crop. Move ment Inaugurated by Administrator Sure to he Favorable 10 Agreultural Interests.

Washington. Aug. 12.-Strong hope for better prices in the agricultural markets is justified by reductions m inc railroad rates on grain for export. already in effect and proposed, accord ing to n statement issued Tt the White House today.
 Recent reductions in the expert rate on grain between Chicago and New York. the statement said. will be fol lowed by sweeping reyisions of grain rates generally including those from Mississippi river points and on tue Ines to the gulf. in order that the en- tire agrcultural interest may share fully in the benefits.
 Tn general" the statement contln- ned. advances in freight costs are passed on to the consumer by adding them to the selling price. But In grains. whose domestic price is domi- mated by the foreign price of the ex- ported surplus, the producer suffers when rates go up and benehts when they go down. Therefore, though the exports represent a minor share or the total grain production, the lowering or export rates affects the entire crop. These reductions of rates together with tho arrangements for financial as sistanee to export trade and the assur- ance that Europe is going to need extraordinary quantities of American foodstuffs, constitute altogether jus tification for strong hope that the tendency in the agricultural markets will for some time be decidedly toward better prices
 Reductions of transportation rates on grain for export was described as "one of the most important measures the administration has initiated Tor the relief of agriculture and general industrial conditions" The reductions if was explained, were insisted upon
  to tn agricultural interests. when on behalf of President Harding. he negG tiated with the carriers the basis for settlement of their claims against the government. growing out of federal control.
 "This was made on the basis of the readiustment." the statement contlnu- cd "the railroads relinquishing thelr so- called labor enefliciency' clans ana undertaking to inugurate reductions m the export grain rates, while the ad- ministration undertakes to assist them hv securing early settlement of their claims against the government
 Moreover, the statement declared if was discovered under the old condl- lions that the Canadian railways and norts were getting the lions share ot inc gran movement to Europe, includ- ;ne ouantities of American grain.
 "To meet this condition IL saia' "and insure that the American pro ducer would not only get his full share of the sales in foreign markets. put wopld also get the highest possible nriee movement for reducing export rates was inaugurated ny the admin istration"

MERCHANTS URGED
TO COOPERATE ON
LIGHTING SYSTEM
City Manager Commends the
Work of Light Company In
Observing Ordinances.

Some months ago. said City Man
ager Kirk Dyer this morning the
city commissioners enacted an ordl-
nance requiring the removal of the
electric light poles from Main street.
The light company Immediately be.
gan to conform TO the ordinance ana
made installations in the alleys back
of the business houses from A street
northeast as far west as Central Park.
Despite the fact that this work
was done some months ago only one
business house on Main street has
availed itself of the privilege OF max
ing connection from the alley and that
is the one owned by j. w. Kruger.
"The light company is to be com
mended for its promptness in the
matter and now If the merchants
along the street will exercise the
same diligence the light poles on
Main street can be removed. These
condition because no repairs have
been made since they were ordered
removed, the wires are more or less
unsightly and the appearance of the
main business thoroughfare' can be
materially improved by the. co-opera
ton of the merchants along the
street"
Mr.. Kruger Is reported as having
said mis- service Is much better since
he made connections from the alley
The voltage was increased from 65 tC
