By employing the proper method, it Is possible to diminish the dampness within the piles where the air does not enter or only circulates very slowly. To avoid this, a substance which ab sorbs water and having io action up on the potato must be employed, and for this purpose it is found that lime is the best substance, as it costs least, Is easy to bundle, and is best known. In practice the method can be ap plied In the Yellowing way. It is to lie remarked that when potatoes are stored up after being well cleaned be forehand, they commence to exude moisture, and must he gone over again. The storage place is sprinkled with quicklime, and each layer of three or four inches of well dried potatoes Is sprinkled over with lime; the same on the outside of the Tile. When sort ing as above stated, the imperfect ones need not be thrown away, but the bad parts cut out and the rest fed to stock after cooking or passing through a dryer or baking in a furnace; or they can be sent to a starch factory if one is near by. As to the amount of lime to- be used, the proper quantity is about ton pounds of lime to 1,000 pounds of potatoes. Big Jobs Are Filled by the Men Who Produce the Results Some men are cursed with the abili ty to do chores. They can do all the little tinkering jobs well and can’t get busy with the big ones until all the petty tasks receive attention. To be sure the groat man is master of details. He will know every step in his busi ness. But he will delegate to others what belongs to their work. No man can be the brains for the whole busi ness. Neither can he be the handy man for the concern and direct its policy at the same time. If he is the business is small. Where you find a man who delights more in winding the clock that he does in keeping his desk clear you can mark him factotum and recommend him to any one of a thou sand big firms that need a handy man. But that's as far us he will get. The big places are filled by men who get down to business. Employing Disabled Soldiers Englishmen Are Taking Their Duly Seriously Advertisements printed in the Lon don papers by British business con cerns frequently carry this line: “We have put a disabled soldier on our pay roll. Have you?” The extent to which tho line is used indicates that Englishmen are taking their duty to employ injured British soldiers very seriously. They are not talking vaguely about tho nation’s dobt to the army. They are paying a debt to tho mon. Every concern employing nny con siderable number of men has places that can be filled by partially disabled men, and whenever such a place is filled the disabled soldier should have! r the first chance.

The summer trees may be more beautiful thns the bare trees of winter, but it is the leafless tree that most clearly be trays the specific arboreal characteris tic. Leaves are distinctive, but the distinction is somewhat superficial, for the leaves are no more than the sum mer dress. When the leaves are gone the tree stands <nore truly disclosed. Yet comparatively few of those who familinriy know the trees of summer can readily recognize all their friends in the honest nudity of winter. Straw Hats Will Cost More Men's hats, both straw and felt, will not undergo nny changes in style this year, either spring, summer or fall, ac cording to predictions made at the sev enth general convention of the Amer ican Association of Wholesale Hatters, recently held at St. Louis. Prices of straw hats are expected to be ad vanced, it is said, while felt hats will remain about as at present. Lake of Sait in Australia Supplies an Immense Crop —Carts and Plows Are Used In South Australia there Is a won derful lake of pure salt. It is a huge depression in the earth which fills up in the winter months. In the summer the water quickly evaporates, leaving a thick deposit of pure salt. Seen from a distance the surface of the ' lake has all ihe appearance of being! covered with a shoot of ice. The salt is so thick that strong men and even carts and plows can traverse it with ’ perfect safety. Yet below the crust • there is a considerable body of slug- j gish water. After the rays of the sum mer sun have played their part, the salt is gathered. This Is a simple operation, the salt being raked into heaps, making pyramids that are a striking feature of the landscape. The salt is then shoveled Into carts and conveyed to various works to undergo the process of refining. Gathering the salt is trying work on account of the great heat and the daz zling reflection, and It is often neces sary for the workers to wear colored glasses to protect their eyes. After the loose salt has been collected from the surface a plow Is run over It, when another harvest of the valuable material can be reaped. The yield of salt from this strange lake amounts to several thousand' tons a year, and it is among the finest obtainable. The lake is several square miles In area and is naturally a very valuable property. ONE OVERLAND SIX Touring Car FOR SALE $550.
