POTATOES.

The early crop of potatoes made a
fair yield in most localities, but the
late crop very much reduces the
average. The average condition of
the crop on October LIST is 1913 per cent.
The farmer should house them well
this winter, for the U S. Statistician
reports their condition for the whole
country at 62.4. The sweet potato
crop is placed at 1873 per cent.

DIR. +. Dupont, formerly OF Paris, France,
ex-chief of clinics of the Paris Hospitals,
has recently located in Providence for
practice.
Yesterday DR.. Dupont volunteered to
give THE NEWS his services to attend the
sick either at their homes or at his Office
free of any charge whatsoever to all
who are unable TO pay for medical at
tendance.
This offer was inspired by reading OF
THE NEWS Bread Fund.
DR.. Dupont, who speaks the best Of
English, is a physician in regul ar prac-
tice, graduate from Canadian Colleges
and Hospitals, and holds the gold medal
of the Lavalle Institute of Montreal.
Recognizing the fact that, with all the
liberality and self sacrifice which the
present times invites, there are still many
poor and suffering who stand in need OF
medical attendance, THE News has ac-
cepted Doctor Dupont's offer.
TO all who will present their case at
THE NEWS Office, Weybosset street, or
at THE NEWS Olneyville Bureau, Room 1,
Waterms = Block, Olneyville square, or at
THE NEWS North End Bureau, 42S Branch

If you have any needy neighbors con-

will go twice as far as it would if you gave

The Bread Fund tickets are not designed

A gentleman whose name is as familiar
as is his prominence in Providence and
Rhode Island industrial interests, and
whose hberality is as unostentatiously
dispensed as it is frequent
and large, called at THE NEWS
Office yesterday and something like the
following brief conversation ensued
between him and the Bread Fund Editor:
How long will Rice and Hayward
continue to furnish a pound of bread to
THE News for three cents a loaf?"
"As long as THE NEWS has three-cent
piece in its Bread Fund to pay for It ~
"Well, | will guarantee the Fund
1000 loaves week for the next six weeks.
! don't want my name published in con-
nection with the offer. Will send you
check this afternoon"
" Your name would be OF considerable
influence" suggested the Bread Fund
Editor. You would possibly allow it to
be printed with the weekly contribution
along with other contributors.
"If you think best you may do that,
only don't put me at the top of the list or
make it prominent in any way"
The check amounted to $50 and the
guarantor of 1000 loavcs n week for six
weeks had already contributed anony-
mously 1000 loaves.

be brought back from the house for re-
consideration. The motion passed. The
other branch, however had adjourned.
Senator Fitzgerald insisted that circum-
stances had robbed him of his rights. he
gave notice that he would offer similar
order in the near future.
An order was offered, which was laid
over, for an amendment of the rules so
that the roll may be called on the request
of one-eighth instead of one-fifth of the
members. The object is TO give the seven
Democratic members power to demand a
rollcall.

Every day brings new evidence OF the
value of The News Bread Fund as an
accessory to rfief work. THE NEWS
itself is surprised to discover the posi-
bilities OF the Bread Fund. 1t is available
for the assistance to private and public
relief work OF every character. The Bread
Fund accompanies the pastor on his
rounds, il is with the charitable agent in
his work, il contributes its shares TO the
splendid contributions OF the wealthy
and helps out with loaf or two a day the
willing heart engaged In relief wherever
il may be. Today there is hardly an
agency of relief, organized or individual
that has not invoked the modes and as
sistance OF THE NEWS Bread Fund-an
assistance as freely and gladly given as it
was modestly offered.
THE News Bread Fund Is beginning to
find out that ii Is popular beyond all pre-
cedent, though its consequence is after all
natural enough when you stop and think
how important thing loaf of bread is
you must have bread whatever else is on
your table and il you have bread you can
sustain life without anything else. Hitch
that fact to the ther fact that THE News
Bread Fund enables you to accomplish 8
cents worth of relief with cents worth
OF money and IL is no great wonder that
the Bread Fund is glttering success,
and that it associates intimately every day
with the bundle OF clothing, the medicine
and groceries, the money, and even the
spiritual consolation as they are dispensed
among the needy.
BY the way Rev. Mr.. Rood OF the Olney-
Vile Tabernacle, one of the company of
devoted pastors who are doing so much TO
relieve distress i'm that stricken com
munity tells THE News that while con-
trbutions of clothing and food are pretty
well up there is a great need OF boys
clothing. Any contribution OF clothing
for boys would be received with especial
gratitude at the Tabernacle as there is
big demand for il still unsatisfied.

"Don't you think you make mistake
in informing your readers that the Bread
Fund has a reserve of 5000 loaves? Why,
that's enough to furnish nearly all Of the
bread wanted for week il there
wasn't cent more contributed Aren't
you afraid people will stop contributing?"
That was a question put to the Bread
Fund this morning.
Well, in the first place THE News owes
duty to contributors to tell them ex-
actly and in a business like way just W hat
is being done with the funds intrusted to
its just as the bank sends you every
so long a statement of your deposit.
Then again, NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE
SUCCESS. It's hard to bolster up failure,
but it's easy to push winner. When a
proposition has real merit in il il is pretty
sure to co, and when it gets its trolley on
il goes faster and faster with every new
impetus. II you have money you can
borrow money and the more you have
the more you can get If you
haven't a cent you'll find it hard to get
one but IL you have two cents you can get
two more quite handily. That's simple
business principle and experience. While
il is human nature To sympathiZe with
the under dog il is the upper dog that
gets the substantial backing. All these
plain and roughly expressed truths so ia
miliar to us all have their foundation i'm a
certain equally familiar parable told by
the Saviour i'm st. Matthew XIV, 1890
The Bread Fund is obviously perform
ing needed public service with the ut
most economy OF administration. IL is
a simple, practical efficacious
measure of relief the organization
OF which makes every mill contributed
available to the relief OF necessity and the
actual support of life. II is popular be-
yond all measure and precedent. Its ad-
ministration is giving full satisfaction to
contributors and beneficiaries. II is daily
giving more and more evidence of its war
rant for public support and it
is getting that support. Ac-
cording to the truths expressed
i'm the parable and to all human expert
ence, the more successful il is the more
successful il will be. Nothing succeeds
like success. "For unto every one that
hath shall be given and he shall have
abundance
The fact that the Bread Fund has in its
treasury 600 ahead TO be drawn upon
daily for fresh, warm bread, is in itself
pretty good guarantee that for some time
yet there will be no tagging in contribu-
tions.
