EVERY MAN HIS OWN PONZI
(Wall Street Magazinel

Leave America with, say $500.
Change it into f10O, present exchange,
in London. Cross to France and ex-
change it for silver coin (f1 equals
So francs) and you have 4,2OO French
francs.
Smuggle these coins into Switzer-
land. Here they attain twice the
value they had in France, owing to
the fact that the silver French franc
is normal in Switzerland, but the,
paper French franc is worth but half
it's face value in exchange. Change
the silver francs into Italian paper
lire, then pass on into Italy and cash
into Italian silver.
You now have $1,000 Italian silver
lire. Take these back into Switzer-
land and you have $1,000 Swiss francs.
Now purchase French paper money
and you will receive for it $4,000
French Francs. Return to France;
there buy English notes and proceed
to London with $1,000 instead of
800 you set out with.
Change these into American money
at present exchange and you have
about $500 instead Of about $4O0 you
possessed at the beginning of the
journey. This profit Of $1,000 should
be enough to pay your expenses for
the trip. Of course, you have to do
bit of smuggling, but that should add
to the novelty and interest of the
trip.

POTATO EXCHANGE BENEFITS
BOTH BUYER AND SELLER

The North Dakota Potato Growers
exchange shipped 104 cars of potatoes
Gom the local exchanges In the first
sArse and a half months of Its ex-
istence, and bids fair to double the
aumbsr by the end Of the season, in
he opinion of the officers Of the ex-
change. There were II local ex-
changes in the state, while several
more are expected to join. by another
season.
The North Dakota potatoes are sold
through the Minnesota Potato Crow
ers' exchange, which also is in it's
early stages. Minnesota alone had
shipped 1,75O cars in it's first three
ana half months of existence, and is
expected to handle 1000 cars for the
two states by the end of the season.
No estimate of the amount of money
actually saved the grower by selling
through the exchange is available yet,
but 1t is not expected the exchange
will duplicate the record of the Michi-
gan Potato Growers exchange during
the first two years of its history, as
the price per hundred pounds This year
is not as high as during those two
years. The Michigan exchange saved
the seller 30 cents hundred pounds
the first year and sc cents the second
year. The North Dakota and Mime
sofa exchanges are modelled after the
Michigan exchange, which was the pio-
neer in this field and which has been
unusually successful from the start.
These two new Exchanges are selling
this Years prodtct through the North
American Fruit exchange. The Michi-
gan exchange used this organization
the first two years, but as much Of the
product now is sold drought repeat
orders to customers of previous years,
It Is handling it's product direct. usu-
ally selling to the retailer and to con
sumerS' associations.

The worst difficulty the exchange 10
meeting Is to have the potato grower
understand the Importance Of grading
his tubers. Heretofore he has been
selling Aeld run potatoes, and forgets
that the potato buyer graded the pota.
toes as part of his share in getting
them to the market. The exchange
has not the facilities at the central
shipping point to sort the potatoes,
and asks that this be done before the
product is shipped, when it can be
done at the least expense.
The grade is the assurance to the
buyer that he is getting just what he
wants and allows the potatoes to be
sold by wire or letter, without the
usual inspection by the buyer before
the sale is made. If dealer buys a
car of United States Grade No. l Early
Ohios, delivered within 30 days, he has
no recourse if the potatoes of the
specified grade are delivered in the
time specified. If, however, the pota-
toes delivered are not up to grade,
the buyer has car OfI potatoes he
likely does not want. and probably
will not accept if the market has drop
ped. The exchange is under great
handicap in redisposing of the car.
Without the known standards set
by the grading of the potatoes. in
speclon of the product, with attend
ant delay and Inconvenience, would be
necessary in most cases.
The members Of the local asS0cia-
tons contract to sell their potatoes
only through their local association,
except those sold for local consump-
ton. Tie local association, in turn,
contracts with the exchange to sell
only through it.
The present local associations Of the
North Dakota Potato Growers ex-
change are located at Cakes, Barney.

very enjoyable violin selections and his
work is too we'll known and liked to
need much comment No local violin

great delight.

Ice Dealers Put Tn No Ice

The winter has been so mild that
the Minot icemen have not begun put
ting up their 1921 supply Of ice. The
ice is about foot thick and the con-
tinued mild weather has caused them
just a little uneasiness. E. D. Kelley,
who has put up ice for thirty or more
winters, declares that there never was
a winter but what the crop of ice
proved satisfactory. We can expect
enough cold weather between now and
March to make ice two or three feet
thick.
