Take your thirst, no matter how
great, even if your throat is dry, dusty
and parched. Just take one drink OF this
old-fashioned root beer and you will be
surprised and delighted. The old folks
knew what they were about, and even
now no new-fangled drink or anything
else can compare with it. Like 'oil on
troubled waters" it soothes and quiets
the heated body, and like magic touches
the very spot of thirst. If you will once

POTATOES WILL HAVE
TO BE IMPORTED
General Shortage of the Crop, So We
Must Seek Them Elsewhere APP
piles Are Plentiful Crop.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26. = The Irish
potato famine of last year threatens to
be almost repeated this winter, and the
product will have to be imported again
from Europe to satisfy the demand.
Last year the trouble was due to pro-
longed drought, finally excessive rains
and blight in the potato. This year it
will be charged to drought and blight
in the vines.
The Maryland and Pennsylvania
crops are both about over, and the
market is at present drawing on Della
ware and New Jersey, but principally
on Western New York. In the latter
section the blight has already set in
and it's ravages have been great. 1t
has also begun to manifest itself in the
New England states, also a great po-
tato growing country. Nowhere near
is there anything like a good crop, and
it is said that where the output seems
to be fair the blight Is worse.
In consequence of the short supply
prices may be expected to shoot up
like rocket before long. Yesterday
they brought from rs to 80 cents a
bushel. In some parts Of the West
Michigan and Wisconsin, for instance
the crop is fair and the quality also,
but the territory in which these grow
ers will have to operate is so extensive
that the Eastern and Southern mar
kets will derive little benefit there
from. In those sections the blight has
thus far not appeared The Eastern
and more Southern crops are expected
to become exhausted by the latter part
of October, and then it will be up to
Baltimore to draw on Europe again.
Last year several hundred thousand
sacks were imported from Germany.
Ireland and Scotland for the Baltimore
market alone Probably not so MANY
will be needed this year. The quality
of the foreign product is considered
superior to home grown potatoes.
Apples will be plentiful this year.
There is a condition in connection with
this industry this year that occurs not
more, it Is said, than once in century.
Nova Scotia is importing from $1,000
to 10000 barrels of apples from Bos-
ton, while, as rule, Boston has to
draw on that country to a much great
er extent. Numerous factors are said
to have brought about this condition
At present prices range from $1.75 to
s2.25 barrel, which are considered
fair

of mile-the deepest bore made-the
temperature had increased by 80 degrees
Fahrenheit, 1t is known, too, that the
surface layer, to about 100 feet deep, is
subject to changes due to whether ths
sun Is striking upon 1t or not but that al
the depth of 100 feet the temperature is
constant at SO degrees Fahrenheit, and
is constantly flowing off from the In
terror.
But beyond the depth Of mile the tenn
perature of the interior Is uncertain. From
astronomical calculations 1t Is evident that
the earth acts as a solid body, or at least
as rigid body. The temperature at the
center must, from the superimposed pres
sure, be sufficient to not only melt, but
vaporize, under ordinary conditions any
known substance, but matter at the center
of the earth Is not under surface condi-
tions, and it also appears that the melting
point of rock is raised under great pres
sure, SO that for all the great heat the
rock need not for this reason be in a fluid
condition, and the fact that molten rock
wells up from volcanoes may be explained
by the fact that the pressure Is released
owing to buckling strains.
Seismograph records of distant earth
quakes also show that vibra lions are con-
veyed very rapidly through the earth's'
interior denoting rigidity not in keep
ing with the old-fashioned idea Of al
flaming interior. This does not, of course,
| mean that we have not had flaming past,
but that possibly as a planet we may be
a little older than we thought.

to find her last Friday. She had left
her sons home to walk to the home Of

Mrs. Button is eighty-two years old.
She had frequently walked from Ha-

A LONDON PAPER
FIGURES FROM FACTS
What May Happen to the Earth, Based
on Recent Seismic Outbreaks.

Since the eruption Of May in Martin

have been showing marked activity, and
earthquakes cave been numerous. The
list given herewith suffices to show the
widespread nature of the vibrations and
disturbances From Alaska to South
America. From Europe to New Zealand,
where the great Waimangu geyser has
burst into activity and thrown 500 feet
high its column of blackish water, and
far away to the ever boiling pit Of the
Mauna Loa, in the center of the Pacific,
this awesome and often death dealing act
ivity has passed as by some subterranean
sympathy.
The insistence Of the reports, according
to the Sphere, of London, brings the ques-
ton Of a possible connection into vivid
prominence, and emphasizes the fact that

of eXtortion against the former chief Of
the Minneapolis police department.
Spectators filled every inch of space
allotted to the public, and interest in
the proceedings was intense.
From the opening of the trial At
torney Victor WEIGH, who, with Attor-
ney Hubachek, is defending Ames on
the charge Of taking SIS from Addie
Mills, made constant objection. He
holly contested every inch Of ground,
taking refuge behind every possible
technicality. His last important stand
was taken upon the admission Of tes-
timony of other women in regard to
similar transactions. The objection was
that the state was endeavoring to
prove the commission of other crimes
than that charged in the Indictment.
The objection was overruled and At
torney Welch's exception noted.
Thereafter there was constant objec-
ton to questions and answers, and eX-
ceptions were noted for possible ap-
peal.
The state, according to the opening
statement of County Attorney Board
man, will not only attempt to prove
that Ames extorted money from Addfe
Mills but that he visited twenty five
other persons while chief of police and
ordered them to pay no more money to
Irwin A. Gardner nor to anyone else
until they heard from him.
Paid by Number.
The state expects to prove that
Freddy Cohen, under instructions
from the chief, later informed the wom-
en- that they must pay tribute to him at
his jewelry store on Washington ave-
nue.; that the money was paid in num-
bered envelopes, no names appearing,
and that three or four times this money
was paid by the states witness under
those same circumstances.
The defense, as developed by the trial
yesterday, will admit all but the actual
crime of soliciting and receiving the
money. The visit to the resorts will be
acknowledged; the orders to pay Moth
ing more to Gardner will be admitted,
but the responsibility for Cohen's ac-
ton or the receiving of any money,
either from him or directly as price
of protection or for other reasons will
be denied
