FAMED FOR GIANT POTATOES
District Just North of Denver Has Es-
r tablished Its Reputation for the
Suceulent Vegetable.

When Horace Greeley gave tbs
young men of America loose foot by
saying, some decades ago: Go West,
young man." he incidentally succeeded
in getting a very fine brand or po-
tatoes named for himself, writes Will
liam G. Shepherd in the Saturday Eve
ming Post. A group of men who went
to the West at that time settled In
a district north of Denver and east
Of the Rocky mountains, and perhaps,
because they thought of nothing else
to raise, they planted potatoes. ABOUT
them, In the highlands, the only WHO
potatoes in the United States were
growing luxuriantly. This district Is
similar climatically and otherwise to
the highland district in Chile, where
explorers are believed to have come
across the potato for the first time.
These Colorado wild potatoes prop
agated themselves by means of Seeds
and 1t is from the pods Of these SEEDS
that the Colorado potato experts get
the material by means of which they
have produced the Greeleyville potato.
Eastern railroads, on which huge
baked potatoes, served in the dining
cars. have come to be strong allies OF
the passenger agent and heavy draw
ers of patronage, send to the Colorado
district for the potato giants. Trans
continental railroads which use the
northern route send men into the Mon
tana and Dakota fields to pick out, al
most by hand. huge potatoes which
heve been grown from the Colorado
seed.

The Tip-Hunters Guide,

Speaking Of tips and tipping, a New
York bellhop not long ago formulated
a set of rules, few of which we give
below:
Don't waste time on "blg bugs"
Shower attention on women; If they
tip at all, they tip literally.
Don't prosecute tightwads; shame
them with faultless service.
Play the honeymooners hard; newly
we'd men like to make a splurge be-
fore their brides.
Don't act ugly when a guest departs
without tipping you. Have a heart

1t is refreshing to read that all but
one partner In a certain Philadelphia
concern refused to profiteer in sugar.
The one partner has been called to
account by the United States govern
ment, and, consequently, is getting
large proportion of the newspaper
publicity. This fact is an ironical
commentary on things as they seem
to be, says Christian Science Monitor.
Unquestionably there are thousands
Of honest men who are content with q
fair profit and who see business In
the light Of service rather than as an
opportunity for exacting "all the traf-
fic will bear" Still. that great ma
jority too often receives scant men,
ton, while those mixed up In anything
undesirable get preferred positions
on the front pages.

Both men and women showed
gratifying sense of thrift in declar-
ing saving funds absolutely essential
10 the comfort of matrimony. The
wisdom of such a fund TO meet un
foreseen emergencies of sickness, ac-
cident. and unexpected loss of en-
ployInent is only too seldom realized.
Men, the questionnaire replies re-
vealed, place a higher value on this
wisdom than do women. While per
cent of the girls were willing TO
marry a man who had no money in
bank. only per cent of the men
would consider such a risk. Yet the
amount required by both sexes is
rather lower than might be desired.
In most cases ii was fixed at $500,
while 13 per cent of the number reply
ing thought $500 would be enough
Those who went above $500 usually
jumped swiftly to $1,000, while a
third group containing many more men
than women, declared they would not
marry with less than 81 800 in bank |
Every answer placed great en-
phasis on the Importance of setting
aside for savings at least 10 per cent
of the income. Evidently experience
