A FOOLISH REPORT,
A report' gained ground in Hanover
to the effect that , the Food Con-
troller would come along after dil-
igent and painstaking housewives had
canned everything canable and con-
fiscate all over fifty. pints per family
for the use of the soldiers overseas.
So serious did the situation become
that the mayor wired the Govern-
ment for an official denial, which
was of course forthcoming withput
delay. It is funny how credulous
people are when an ,utterly, foolish
story is concerned and how, loath
they are sometimes to accept the
truth. The fruit or vegetables can-
ned belong absolutely td those who
lelee theta up and can be sold, given

POTATOES PLENTIFUL,
There is notuch market nh of a -mai a in
Clinton for potatoes just now, or
indeed for any sort of "garden sass,"
most people having had a garden of
their own from which their tables
are being supplied. Potatoes are
selling, when they are being sold, at'
about $1.00 per bushel but dealers
do not feel like stocking
up at that
price.
The potato crop has been pretty
generally good tbrougllout Canada
and this necessary article of food
will probably be mucic more plentiful
and much cheaper this winter teat
last, On Fridays potatoes were sell-
ing in Ottawa at $1,50 per 90 lb.
bag, at Montreal for $1.60 per 80
lb. bag, at St. John's, N.B., for
$1.25 per bushel, at Edmonton .for
40e per bushel at Calgary for $40
per ton anis at Saskatoon for $2 per
hundredweight. Evidently the Al-
berta potato crop has been good and
the fact that they are gentile] there
will serve to keep down prices here
and other places, should they be in-
clined to'soar. It looks as if he
campaign for greater production Iast
spring had had the effect of greatly
increasing Canada's potato crop and
if it diel nothing else it, would have
been worth 10110.
