POTATO GRADES
ARE UNCHANGED
Specifications Determined by
Thorough Investigation by
Bureau of Markets.
GRADE FANCY RECOMMENDED
Large Percentage Of Crop Should
Meet Requirements Of Grade No.
1-Oefective Stock, When Pres.
ent, Must Be Removed.

Standard grades for potatoes were
recommended by the United States de-
partment Of agriculture and the United
States food administration on Sep
TENDER 10, 1917. The specifications
were determined by thorough investi-
cations conducted by the bureau Of
markets of the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
In order to reduce waste and con-
serve transportation facilities during
the war emergency the food admins
tratiOn issued rule, effective .Isnn-
airy 81, 1918, requiring the use of the
United States potato grades by Ii
censed dealers. The results obtained
were so satisfactory that when this
regulation was Cancelled on December
10. 1918. the use of the grades. to a
large extent, was continued vOlun-
tarily. The universal use of the stand
ards during the war emergency afford
ed the Investigators of the bureau Of
markets an excellent opportunity to
study in detail the various specifica-
lions, and determine whether any
changes were desirable. AS result,
a few changes were recommended on
February 10. 1919.
Because of the large, bright. smooth
potatoes grown in some regions. espe-
cially In sections Of the western
states. those interested demanded
grade with higher requirements than
those Of United States grade No. l, in
order to provide for stock of high
quality, which is sold to special class
Of trade. To meet this demand, the
United States grade Fancy now is rec
commended in addition to United
States grade No. l and United States
grade No. 2.
This recommendation does not mean
that all crops of potatoes should be
sorted into three grades. A large per-
centage of the commercial crop in
most of the tO-iDroducing sections
of the country Should meet the re-
quirements of Unitet; States grade No.
1, and this grade will provide for most
of the trade demands. Potatoes of
better than average quality can be
carefully graded and sold as United
States grade Fancy, while smaller po-
tatoes, or those Of inferior quality,
can be marketed as United States
grade No. 2 1t is probable that many
of the commercial potato-producing
sections will have little use for the
United States grade Fancy.
Observations made in the producing
sections show that there is a ten
dency to regard sizing as the only es-
sential to proper grading. 1t should
he emphasized that. In addition to

IYRIcsoFLIFE
WHY NOT TELL HER so?
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH

~ COURSE you love her just the
~ same
As when at first you wed.
Perhaps with not so hot fame,
But still the Goals are red.
The new-rnade blaze is bright with
heat
And ruddy with desire;
But time shall give you something
sweet
Peace, and the quiet fire.
OF course you love her as of old,
Your love she ought to know.
New loves burn hot, new loves turn
cold,
With all the winds that blow.
But time shall bring the steady blaze,
The fame that never died;
Yea. time shall bring contented days,
The quiet ingleside.
OF course you love her as of yore--
The years that you have shared
Have made you love her even more
Than ever you have cared.
OF course you love her just the same,
Your love she ought to know,
For time has brought the steady
flame
But why not tell her so?

THE GIRL ON THE JOB
How to Succeed-How to Get Ahead
How to Make Good
By JESSIE ROBERTS
By JESSIE ROBERTS

You must keep In good physical con-
dition II you want success. You need
proper rest, enough sleep and healthful
food. You need exercise in the open
air. Keeping fit is part of the price
you must pay for success.
A number of girls regard an office as
sort of matrimonial bureau. Their
first idea is to be fascinating to the
male element. But If that Is what you
are after, don't say you want success
In your business, and don't be sur
prised If you see other girls who do
want success get advancement while
you stay put.
Success is big thing. The success
full woman is not afraid of losing her
job. She knows that her work is so
good that an employer will be lucky
to get her, or that. If she is In bust
ness for herself, she Is sure of results.
But success is not an accident.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"GuILLoTINE."

A CCORDTNG to history as 1t
"A is popularity accepted, the
instrument by which criminals
are automatically beheaded was
invented by Joseph Ignace Gull
lotine, who was also the first vic
tim of the machine. Outside of
the fact that Doctor Guillotine
neither invented the apparatus
nor persisted by 1t, the general
impression of the matter is fair
ly correct.
The original model for the
gulllotine was constructed by q
German planomaker named
Schmltt, under the direction Of
Doctor Louis, French surgeon,
who in turn obtained his idea
from the manaja, somewhat
similar instrument which had
been used in the Latin countries
for centuries. At first, the in
vention was known as the
'Louison," but, owing to the fact
that Doctor Guillotlne waged
ceaseless warfare upon the bar
barities Of the rack and the
wheel and continually urged the
adoption Of this more humane
method of infiicting death penal
ty, his name was indelibly as
ISOLATED with II. On March %,
1892, the national assembly
passed the resolution recon-
mending the use of the machine
In all French prisons and it was
publicly used month later in
the beheading of prisoner
named Pelissier.
Far from perishing by the in
vention, which, despite his pro-
tests, was called by his name,
Doctor Guillotlne died in his
bed in 1S14-having achieved
vicarious fame which he did not
desire and to which he was not
entitled. :

OUR WAsTEFUL HABITS

TT is frequently remarked by close
observing Englishmen who visit
America, that our people are
shamefully wasteful, and fling away
money without any apparent thought
of the proverbial rainy day.
Whether these alien commenters
have penetrated deeply into the sub
5ect is not definitely known, but judg-
ing from their oft-repeated averments,
assuming at times form of caustic
criticism, there Is doubtless more
truth In the matter than we suspect.
II Is not without pang Of regret
q ruffiing of our pride, perhaps-that
we Americans, who are disposed to
analyze conditions with unbiased
minds, reluctantly admit that our Eng
hsh cousins are right.
We recognize that we have many
spendthrifts, constantly setting a bad
example to the young. that they are
extravagant and decidedly foolish.
Money is poured out like water, as
though, like Topsy, at just growed."
There Is consolation, however, In
the thought that these profligates
come mostly from the ranks Of the
newly rich and thoughtless inheritors.
They have no idea Of the stern
realities Of life, nor the long dragging
years of incessant labor and self-de-
nial that are necessary for working
or professional man to accumulate
even a moderate competency for old
age.
These people congregate where the
music flows, where the tables are
heaped with dainties. They smile and
backbite, puff themselves up like frogs
and spend recklessly. They fall natur-
ally into a state which is common to
their kind.
II we could follow them through
their improvident course to the end.
we would find them in pitiable plights.
repentant and likely as not homeless.
The necessity Of conserving time
and money ought now be impressed
upon all of us with considerable more
stress than 1t has been In the recent
past, and particularly upon the in
eonsiderate young men and women.

Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
4sPooNFULs,D ETC.

TN CONSIDERING the proper form
of the plurals of such words as
spoonful" "cupful." armful," etc,
II must be borne in mind that the unit
considered is not the spoon, the arm,
the cup. etc.; but the material that
fills the spoon, etc. Thus, the unit Is
the spoonful, not the spoon, and as
spoonful" Is the name Of thing In
itself, the proper form of the plural Is
found by adding an IS" to the word
spoonful" and not to the part of the
word spoon"
OF course, there are times when the
unit is the spoon itself; that Is, when
two or more spoons are filed. When,
for example, you have before you two
spoons filed with sugar, you should
say "two spoons full" and not "two
spoonfuls." But when you take a

STYLES IN WINTER COATS
AND HATS FOR AUTUMN

Furthermore purchasers are getting
more for their money than for many
seasons, prices having declined since
last year, In fact seem somewhat lower
than they should be, considering the
amount Of hand work that is lavished
on this years millinery.
Hats for street wear are medium In
size, those for afternoon and evening
larger, and still growing. The all-day
frock or suit calls for an all-day hat,
and four out of five of the models
shown here will come under this class,
the exception being the wide-brimmed
pattern of hatter's plush with veil Of
