council of Jewish women will hold its
first convention in this city Nov. Is to
20. The council has a three fold pur-
pose, but the object is the revival Of
the orthodox Jewish faith in its purest
and most exalted form. 1t was during
the congress of religions at the Worlds
Fair that Mrs. Hannah G. Solomon of
Chicago made a stand for the faith,
which seemed to be waning, and sum-
moned all women who would work for
the best interests of the Jewish reli-

every section throughout the United
States has each it's local president.

bring together hundreds of delegates
from all parts of the country, among
them some of the most brilliant wo-
men on this continent. Many women
of other faiths will attend the conven-

being among the speakers-Mrs

of the National Federation of Women's

NO DANGER OF SHORT SUPPLY.
Potato Crop of the Country Said To BE In
Had Way.

Washington, Nov. 3-The potato crop
is in a bad way. The officers Of the
agricultural department do not consid-'
er this a calamity The over-abundant
crop of last year made potatoes scarce
ly worth digging. The average price
fell TO 20 cents a bushel. II had never
been so low since the war. More than
279, ,000. 900 bushels were produced In the
United States. not counting thousands
of bushels left in the ground. The in
dications are that the total yield this
year will not exceed $50. .000, 900 bushels.
Even this could be the largest crop
ever raised in this country, excepting
the phenomenal crop of last year, when
everybody planted potatoes.
The general condition of the crop is
now 81 per cent. on the basis of 100
representing an average crop. In Oc-
tober a year ago the condition was 81
per cent. The acreage of the potato
crop this year y 2.S65.000. which is only
10l2 per cent. short of the acreage OF
last year. Buteven this reduced acre
age is too greet to insure good prices.
More or less complaint of rotting comes
from nearly eyery section of the coun-
try, but particularly from the New
England and Eastern states.
Notwithstanding these unfavorable
features when the prospective volume
of the crop Il considered there seems
TO be little dnger of a short supply.
There is only me thing now in the Wis
ion Of the government experts to en-
courage the prducers. That is pros
pective shortae in the European crop.
in Germany, there many millions of
bushels are ppduced, not more than
half crop isFxpected. In other po-
tato-raising cnntries abroad condi-
tions have beA bad and the crop is
short. This gits hope of an increased
