Said League Backed It. The company invaded North Dakota, obtained a charter from the blue sk. commission, and began selling stoc y to have used methods that were singular. They said, among other things, that Govern- or Frazier and Attorney General Langer were back of it. Mr. Stenvick of Minot was much interested with the concern, and he interceded once or twice in its behalf. Letters began pouring into the state administration concerning the company, and some of Mr. Townley at - footed denial, so far as can be ned, that the league was interest- to some extent in the Home Lum- fla ically that the Home Lumber Co is not a league enterprise. Mr. Langer also declares that so far as can be learned the concern is entirely legitimate; that it(has a mill which is insured for $47,000 and which has been appraised at. $140,000, and that it owns outright 3.000 to 4,000 acres of timberland and has’ options on a great deal more, which Mr. Langer regards ample se- curity for the $100,000 worth of shares which the company has been author- ized to sell in North Dakota. Still More Mystery. Just why Mr. Stanland should be compelled to relinquish half of his »75.000 worth) of promotion stock. which has been cancelled and written off the company's books, is not clearly disclosed. Mr. Langer denies, \how- ever, that salesmen of the Home Lum- ber Co. were in fact disposing, as had been reported, of Mr. Stanland’s. pro- motion stock and not selling the active capital stock of the company. It is also definitely stated that the trustees, Judge Nuchols, John Wil- {National Crop Improvement fervice.} HE WASTE of good @otatoes is unpatriotic if not criminal.

September 18 * The return date on the alternative writ served on Secretary of State | Thomas Hall, directing him to appear 3 | may bo interested, and .wevare ready to answer any questions; which may be addressed to our Chicago office.” The potato’ plans in brief are, that each community shall ascertain how many potatoesitcan consume normally, and through a joint meeting of the commercial club and the farm bu- reaus, provide that the proper acreage shall be planted and that the local community shall agree to use local potatoes first. 2 In order to make this plan work- able, it willbe necessary to build yen- tilated storage cellars, according to giana which have been thoroughly worked out at Lake Forest, Ill, im which potatoes may be kept in good condition up to the time-when new potatoes .come on the market. In localities where there may be & larger production of potatoes than can be consumed; the plan suggests that potato flour and starch mills be erect- | ed—at first on a small scale, grad- ually growing as the business becomes profitable. 4 The process is not intricate. Tho potatoes are first washed and stones removed and then passed through a steam cooker into a flaking machine which consists of two large steam- heated rolls which toast the potatoes into a thin layer very much like corn flakes. 4 These flaked poatoes are then ‘ound in a suitable mill of which there are several types, and the flour thus obtamed from the whole po- tatoes containing all the vitamines, may be sacked or barrelled and kept indefinitely. id The starch process consist of wast ing and settling, and @ great deal of the potato value is thus lost. There are two successful potato. mills now in operation, one in Idaho Falls, and the other in Aroostook County, Maine. To our shame it must be said that all the potato flour we have hereto- fore used has been imported from Gérmany, where potatoes constitute nearly half of the diet. ¥ “Are'we hupgry? Not yet.
