A. R." So only seven Civil war veterans are members of the Sixty-sixth congress-754 years after the close of the memorable struggle between the North and South; Soldier representation In congress was at Its peak between 1880 and 1890. -The fact that the period between 1880 and 18W marked the larger soldier representation in con gress indicates that most of the soldiers who were in their twenties at the close of the war In 1865 did not begin to aspire to congressional service until had reached thirty-five or forty years' of age. Many of them were between forty and fifty when they took their seats. There has been much conjecture as to how soon the veterans of the War of '1917, as the recent world war has been officially designated hv the war department, will occupy a majority of seats in congress. As a majority of those who actually saw foreign service, whic'h will be the larger political factor as the years go by, were between twenty and twenty-five years of age, It may safely calculated that it will be at least S i vears before there will be another soldier congress, ThaV will be in 1934. It may be sooner the newer custom of electing young men is rTnntinued The average age of congressmen has decreased in recent years. Several of the pres- 'SmeSer. are in their early thirties. The West SoWs the greater tendency to elect young men. S Two vetefans of the War of 1917 are already , Xp house in fact, were in it when they put the uniform. They are F. H.

Quite a number of members in addition to the gentleman from Hawaii have considerable to say about their ancestry. Several trace their blood back to members of the Continental congress. One announces that he is a "direct descendant of the father of Hannah Dustin." An Ohio representa tive, however, easily leads them all. Henry I. Emerson of Cleveland, representative from the Twenty-second Ohio district, sets forth his ancestry back to the year 1665 In this country and had the honor of being elected to the Sixty sixth congress without a single vote being cast against him. Here is his story of himself: n0ihHpnn of Cleveland: was born in Litch- V, S (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) An explanation of why farmers have hot received better prices for their sweet potatoes is that they have riot used proper methods of handling and marketing. In many cases the pota-J toes are badly bruised and cut m dig ging, then are put in bags or rough barrels without grading, and rushed on the market when there is an over- supply. The secrets of success in get- tine hieh nrices are to grade, clean and pack the product carefully and nut it unon the market when there is a keen demand. The greatest demand for sweet potatoes is, as a rule, from the middle of December to the middle of March. V Best Type for Market. The market demands a medium- sized, uniform- typo of sweet potato, free from bruises or decayed spots. In grading, all undersized and tne large, overgrown, crooked, broken, or bruised potatoes should be kept at home for feeding or, fnrcanning. The best pota toes will bring more, ;money than will both the culls and the primes market ed together. Two market grades are sometimes made, the "extra selects" or "nrimes" and the "seconds," but the Southern fanner will do well to make just one . market grade and keep the others for home use or for feeding to his live stock. Attractive Packages. After carefully grading, sweet pota toes should be put in clean, neat, at tractive packages. Bags should never Care ; Exercised In Making Frama Square and .

The size of the storage room should be determined by the space available and the amount of material to be stored. Natural earth makes a betr floor than concrete or brick, as a cer tain amount of moisture is desirable. The walls of the storage room should be parallel to the walls .of the cellar. Lay 2 by 4-Inch scantling nat on floor and secure them with pegs driven into the floor or by nailing them .to the top of short posts set In the ground.

Set the studs on either side of the door 32 Inches apart, which will allow for the door and the frame. Put a header over the door, allowing one inch for the frame and seven-eighth of an inch for the sill at the bottom. Set the studs against the walls where the cellar walls and storage room wans meet. Care exercised in making the frame square and plumb will enable thn builder to eet the structure tight with a minimum of labor. ,A good room is made by covering the studding on the outside with tongue-and-groove material, but a better way is to sheathe the outside with plain lumber, tack building paper on this, and side with tongue-and-groove material.

When the harvest season comes he is overworked. - Also, he has to depend on transient , labor which, many times, Is bother some and unreliable. And, after all, a considerable portlof of the crop may have to go to waste be cause it cannot be gathered in time. The hog, helped out by cattle and sheep, when practicable, is an excel lent labor equalizer. He harvests the corn crop more effi ciently than the transient farm hand can be expected to do it and does not have to be superintended by the owner of the farm. He is equally efficient in harvesting rye, or clover, or alfalfa, or 6oy beans. or cow peas. When the farmer makes use or tne co-operative' quality of the hog he has more time for essential tasks, more time to look out for his cwn health and happiness and that of his family, makes more money on the year's op erations, and has better ground f or tho next year's crops. The farm that depends on transient laborers as'harvesters is likely to grow poorer year by year. The farm that uses hogs as harvesters is certain to grow more fertile with every crop. ta.:, c Parrish was practically unknown trict, wnue dlstrict.
