GROWS TOMATOES AND
POTATOES ON SAME VINES
Sidney Cook, Life President of the
Liars Club, Has No Trouble With
Potato Bugs at Pressure Isle.

Presqne Isle Aug 22,--Sydney Cook, a
retired deep sea diver, has been pursu-
ing research into obscure problems Of
vegetable physiology with results that
Darwin never dreamed Of,
Luther Burbank Of California has pro-
dueed the Burbank potato, which does
not explode with loud noise when
placed inside hot oven, scattering its
contents over the pieerust and pudding,
but Sidney Cook has waved the potato
crop Aroostook from despoiment by
grating tomato stalk upon the sprout-
ing shoot OF potato, the combined
n'ant Yielding choice potatoes below
the surface Of tine soil and bearing an
abundance OF ruddy and succulent ripe
tomatoes on top.
The work was performed early last
spring when Mr. Cook WAS rubbing the
sprouts from some potatoes, preparat
.ory to boiling them for dinner. On the
window sill in boxes Mr.. Cook was grow
ing some young tomato plants, which
were destined to be set out in the gar
den as soon as danger Of frost was over.
Mr.. Cook had raised pears from the
stumps OF mountain ash trees by in.
serting pear scions and ne believed he
could grow tomatoes from potato tubers
by adopting similar method. In a
few minutes the boxes of earth were
filled with potatoes which bore tomato
tops.
When the gratis had healed and the
weather had moderated the potato-to-
mato plants were set out in rich Aroo-
stock soil. and kept on growing with
out halt AIr. Cook can now reach
under the eartn and pull new potatoes
just fit for roasting from the ground. and
pluck green tomatoes for picking from
the tops. In a few weeks more his to-
matoes viii be ripe, when he can har-
vest the double crop, and while making
cstsup from his tomatoes to add flavor

AMUSEMENT NOTES
Coming to Barre September 2.

The Trenton, y. D., Evening Times
says of Lyman Ilowc's Liieomma, to
be seen at the Barre opera house Sep.
tcmber ., as follows.
State street theatre was opened last
night for the season with Lyman Ilowc's
Liicorama, which consists Of motion
pictures OF nearly all the countries Of
the world showing the characteristics
of the people, their manner OF dress and
many other interesting features.
The entertainment is not confined to
the beauties of scenery and interesting
educational themes, hut IL abounds in
comedy and unique novelties never be-
fore witnessed in connection with a
motion picture entertainment.
Further than this, all OF the Howe
pictures are accompanied with effects
so artistic and realistic that the spec
tator almost forgets that picture is
being looked at. II is hard to realize
that one is not actually looking out Of
a ear window at the beauties of Rome,
Naples, the Alps, Switzerland and a
score OF other countries or that the
picture dramas and comedies are not
being really played by living actors.
Mr. Howe has engaged a corps OF out
of the ordinary effect men" to add TO
the interest of his pictures and in con
sequence OF this. the entertainment
last night was far superior to anything

for Jerome in the first trial. They
are the alienist Austin Flint,
Charles McLeonard and William

first trial that they thought Thaw
insane, but qualified 1t by stating
that he was still able to realize the
enormity OF his crime. This move

CITIZEN PLAYS PART
OF POLICEMAN

An unknown citizen lent great
assistance to the police department
last night when he arrested James
Crowley, who was trying to sell
two rings at the Cross Roads sa-
loon. The man followed Crowley
from there to the Palace saloon
and when he again failed to dis
pose of the stolen rings, patted him
on the shoulder and told him he
was under arrest. The stranger
and prisoner then proceeded to po-
lice headquarters, where Crowley
was turned over with the two rings
to Patrolman Thompson, who book
ed him for burglary after the rings
were identified as those stolen from
the residence of Mrs. M. V. Rowell,
01020 Evergreen Park.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs Rowell
reported to the police that during
her absence someone broke into
the house, ate up all the provisions
in the pantry, sucked six eggs and
stole two rings. which she de-
scribed with minuteness.

ed, in the mockery of our system.
Justice, that ought ever to stand
above the crowd, enthroned, i'm
mutable, is bought and sold in the
temple, throttled in the web Of pol
itics, and made a thing of scorn.
We club a man to reform him,
and when this proves futile we list
him in the criminal class" and
dish him up as statistics.
False economy leads us to turn
men into machines in an effort to
make our prisons self-supporting,
and doing this we have lost sight
Of the convict's human rights.
Where is the logic in restraining
the boy who steals SIT suit of
clothes and merely flning men who
steal millions?
In the articles to follow I pur-
pose dealing with some phases of
man-made justice,
1t is a subject touching the life
OF every citizen. For who, in our
complex civilization and age of Pc
culiar business methods, can tell
just where waits the temptation
that may make him an outcast ?
Who can measure the strength of
his own moral character against
the primal passions of anger,
avarice, lust?
Instead of trying blindly to fit
the punishment to the crime,
might we not with profit to our
selves and the criminal, adapt the
punishment to the man; make
some effort to discover "the path
up which the crime has come" and
fix the responsibility where it right
fully belongs?
Those of us who take issue with
the penal system Of today are fire.
