of Potatoes Last Year.

Booker T. Washington has an arti-
Gle In the American Illustrated Maga-
zine for January, entitled THE Negro

remarkable success of a particular

But why is Mr. Groves called "The
Negro Potato King" Let me
answer Last year he produced upon
his farm 72,l50 bushels of white po-
tatoes averaging 245 bushels to the
acre. So far as reports show, this
was 12,150 bushels more than any
other individual grower in the world
produced. And besides the potatoes
raised on his own farm, Mr.. Groves

scale. Last year he bought from
white growers in the Kaw Valley, and
shipped away twenty-five cars of
white potatoes. He also bought
fourteen cars of fancy seed potatoes
in North and South Dakota, which he
sold to growers in the Kaw Valley,
and in Oklahoma and the Indian Ter
ritoTy. Mr.. Groves says that he ships
potatoes and other farm products to
nearly every portion of the United

Who Discovered the Hudson7

No Dutch of English man can affirm
the discovery of the Hudson river,
says writer in Harper's. Nerraz-
Zano must have distanced Hudson's
archives by nearly 100 years. How
ever the Dutch and English liaison in
the matter is close. Hudson is appro-
priated by Dutch minds and has
Holland tradition round him. He came
in a Dutch yacht called the HalfMoon
in 1909. His sailors We're Hollanders
and Englishmen: he represented
Dutch East India company on its way
to find the much-sought-for northeast
passage to India He expored the Hud-
son. going as far as the little town
that bears his name, and he himself
has been transmitted to posterity with
such blended and mixed traditions as
to constitute him well nigh half
breed in peoples minds.
The names of the river are varied.
It has been called Manhattan, the
North river, the Great river, the Maui
ritas. and in the year 1916 bore legally
for some length of time the name Riv-
iere Van den Worst Moritias.

PHENOMENA OF oREAMLANn
Scientists Explanation Of the Visions
of Sleeo

A scientist explains some OF the
strange phenomena OF dreams by say
ing tEat they are due to what he calls
hereditary memory" He takes the
falling through space dream and
points out that after suffering the
mental agony of falling the sleeper
escapes the shock of the actual stop
ping. The explanation is that the fall
ing sensations have been transmitted
from remote ancestors who were for
tunate enough to save themselves.
after falling from great heights in
tree tops, by ciutching the branches.
The molecular changes in the cere-
bral cells due to the shock of stop
ping could not be transmitted. be-
cause victims falling to the bottom
would be killed. In similar manner,
by reverting to the habits OF animals
which existed centuries ago, the
same investigator finds an explanation
for the mental state experienced by
individuals in various dreams-the
pursuing monster dream. the rep
tile and vermin" dream. color dreams,
suffocation dreams. flying dreams and
the like.

back with him a gorgeous headdress
made of the feathers of birds of para
disc, the many -colored plumage of par
rots and various other OF the brilliant

sewn together and bound with beauti-
full shells. Two axes and pocket

eyes glistened at the sight of string
of beads and a plug of tobacco and
the bargain was clinched.
