SOUTHERN FARMERS
RAISE TEA PLANT
Department of Agriculture
Makes the Call
Ambassador Bryce Sees Great Future
i'm Development of Internal
Water Highways.
REPUBLICANS IN KENTUCKY

Washington, July 10.-After more
than half century OF investigation,
the department of agriculture has is
sued a call to the southern farmers
to take up the cultivation of tea
George F. Mitchell. who prepared
the report on the subject, declares
that the states of the south and those
adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico are
splendidly fitted for the raising of
this crop. DR.. Charles U. Sheph erd,
who has been making experiments at
the government farm near Summer
Vile, S. c., announces that 10000
pounds of dry tea can be raised on
100 acres, and that the crop can be
made highly valuable one. Be
cause of the dangerous impurities
used in adulterating foreign teas, the
government is especially anxious for
Americans to raise enough of the
leaves to supply, at least, the wants
of their own individual households.
The plant is a handsome addition to
any flower bed, too. 1t is evergreen,
and in the autumn is covered with
handsome, fragrant white flowers,
having a golden-yellow center.

MODERN JACOB WOULDN'T
WORK : YEARS TO WIN
COUSIN HE HAD KISSED

Indianapolis, Ind, July 10.-The
courtship OF Rachel and Jacob was
quite a simple affair-altogether free
from modern obstacles in many
ways-according to the Rev. H. N.
Quisenberry, who delved in Bible ro-
nance at the College Avenue Baptist
church. And then, she was a
cousin of his" That helped.
ct was the custom in olden times
for the young couple to do their
counting as they do now in the
darkest place along the street, but in
public. All of the counting was done
right out in the open. New Jacob
didn't have any law to break. Rachel
was his cousin, and when he saw her
on the street he had a right to kiss
her-and then she was a cousin of
is"
DR.. Quisenberry told OF Jacobs APP
pliSation to Laban for the hand of his
daughter Rachel, but advised any
young man with similar intentions
not to write to his prospective father
in-law about it.
"If you do" he said, you will
probably have to write again. Laban
told Jacob he could have Rachel If
he would work for him for seven
years. And Jacob went to work.
Nowadays It would have been like
this:
Rachel. this is an outrage. Let's
slip down into Kentucky and fix this
thing up. That's what Jacob would
have said.

far as the posts of the country are
concerned. The new policy of train

with the regulars makes necessary a
general house-cleaning and the forts

cies and Republican preachments. In
the last few weeks reports have been
received here that there is decided
ly good chance for the Republicans
to cary the state. These prophesies
are based on the statement that the
Democratic camp is sadly divided and
that the managers of that party find
it practically impossible to get out
the usual vote. On the other hand,
the Republicans are said to be well
organized and altogether harmonious.
If aid from the national organization
will spell victory, there is no doubt
that Kentucky will be found in the
Republican fold after the next cleo
ton.

wate1.ways improvements.

Ambassador Bryce, who is back in
Washington, is being congratulated
by his fellow diplomats on the i'm
preston he made in the course of his
recent tour through the middle west.
The British envoy made a number of
notable speeches, among them one in
st. Louis in which he endorsed the
work Of the national rivers and har-
bors congress in its efforts to pro-
vide adequate waterway transporta-
ton to supplement- the congested rail-
way lines. The ambassador said:
England hopes you will provide
more means for transportation. for
she wants more of your products.
Your only difficulty that is apparent
to me is the inadequate means OF
transportation for the products ma
ture bestows upon you. You have q
great system of waterways, and the
railroads will have nothing to fear
by your development of those water
ways"
The demand for active work in
waterways development has. been
built up in the United States practi-
cally within the last six years. This
has been due in large measure to the
untiring efforts of the national rivers
and harbors congress, which is com
posed of leading business men and
shippers from the Atlantic to the Pa.
cido coact and from the Canadian
line to the gulf. The big appropria.
ton bill passed at the last session Of
congress for this work is credited tC
I the efforts of the organization. ant
in order that the sentiment is no
waning, Captain J. F. Ellison, of Gin
cinnati, its secretary, and treasurer
is engaged in campaign for an ever
greater membership. to the end tina
the sentiment may be strengthened
and the organizations influence b'

POTATOES
SHOWN TO
COURT
Tia! Ha! Didn't She Tell Her
NeighbOr the Judge Could
Not Do Anything?

A farce in three acts which was
begun several days ago when Mrs.
Katherine Crawford, of 23s Hawthorne
avenue, and Mrs. E. II. Keyworth, of
239A Hawthorne avenue, purchased
several sacks of potatoes from John
Southland, of 423 Bergen street, was
continued in the Fourth Precinct Police
Cour today, and the third and final
act will be in the court on Friday.
Before the women purchased the
Lotatoes Southland took one of them
into Mrs. Crawford's house. where Mrs.
Keyworth happened to be, and cut his
sample in half. He told both women
that every potato in the bag was
equally as good, and the women paid
the dealer for several sacks.
The sacks were not opened directly.
but when they were it was found hat
the potatoes were not what Southland
represented them to be, and when the
women's husbands and other members
of the family arrived at their homes
they agreed that both the housekeepers
were stung.
It'll bet thai we are not" said Mrs.
Crawford, for we'll go and see Judge
Herr at the Fourth Precinct, and he'll
get our lllDllty pa1h VI BIZ 80 49, -
tatoes."
Mrs. Keyworth n others advised
Mrs. Crawford that the Judge would
not be able to help them out, but 1t
was useless for them to so advise her,
and both of the women arrived IN
court today with a large paper bag
full of small potatoes, some of which
were rotted and unfit for use. They
waited their turn n stepped forward.
Mrs. Crawford emptied the potatoes
from the bag and there were several
quarts of them on the desk in front
| of Judge Herr. DO you call these po-
tatoes, judge?n began Mrs. Crawford.
The court was at a loss to give his
opinion as he is not nor never was
an expert farmer. Before he had a
| chance Mrs. Crawford related the man.
ner in which they were stuug by
Southland.
"They are nothing but rubbish and
the s%weepings of the freight" said the
woman.
"Well. Pm sorry. but we can't do very
much for you here" replied the judge.
Mrs. Keyworth then burst forth into
laughter, and everyone in the room,
including the court, Joined in.
-
whats the natter" asked the
court.
Il knew you couldn't do ANYTHING
for lis, and l told her So" said Mrs
Keyworth.
.'Well, l am going to try, just the
same said the court. Give your
names and addresses TO the clerk and
that of Mr.. Southland, and weH hear
both sides of the story in this court on
Friday. 81 believe, however, that your
only redress will be to bring sun
against the party who sold you tht
