BUCLtSS POTATO WINS
OF THE FINNISH VARIETY

Potato vines without potato bugs,
and no necessity for spraying with
paris green To ensure q crop OF the
tubers that are SO essential a portion
VI the daily sustenance of the people
Of the United States. Sounds almost
600 good to be true, but that is what
Herman Keranen, Finnish farmer
living not far from Baraga, has been
raising for the past four years. Much
has been heard of Luther Burbank
and his thornless roses, splnless cac-
tus and odorless onion, but until re-
ished and developed, unheralded to
the world, on a small upper Michigan
farm.
The potato in question is not a new
species. 1t is simply the every day po-
tato raised by the farmers of Finland
IN their native land. Four years ago
he sent abroad for some potatoes with
which to experiment and received.
nine, which he planted on his farm
and awaited developments. They
thrived, grew, multiplied and it was
demonstrated that they would flourish
as well in America as in Finland
the nine potatoes planted four years
ago, and replanting each successive
season, having resulted in producing
800 bushels in Mr.. Keranen's patch
this year.
Growing alongside the Finnish po-
tato and separated only by burrows,
were some American or as generally
known Irish potatoes. The imported
potatoes, while smaller than the ma
tive variety. are more to the hill. are
harder. slow to spoil and are declar-
ed to be of excellent taste. The stalks
are heavier and bushier than the ma
tive plant and produce a pretty white
flower and bud. differing from the
well known blossoms of our familiar
2otatoe patches.
But il is their immunity from the
ravages of the Colorado Beetle or po-
tato bug that strikes the average per-
son as being the most extraordinary
thing about these potatoes. Even
though planted i'm the same field with
native potatoes, which the bugs are
doing their best to destroy, despite
paris green and other poisons. the
Finnish plant stands uninjured and
naughty waving 1t snowy blossoms in
the breeze and defying the bugs to
come on. Mr.. Keranen says, that he
has noticed that the bugs have some
times gone over to the Finnish po-
tato patch but have done no damage
whatsoever. returning Immediately to
resume their attacks on the American
potato stalks and leaves. Mr.. Ker-
amen is well pleased with his exper-
iment and is sure from the results of
his experiments that the Finnish po-
tato will thrive here just as well as
IL does in Finland and as well as the
native variety of potato, without the
trouble and care of everlastinly pro-
tecting IL from the bugs

WHY HE DID NOT MARRY.

Because of the dimpled charm of
Miss Billy Burke. Mr. Frohman's
sweetest STAR there are rumors every
now and then that this, that. or the
other fortunate man is to lead her to
the altar, says the New York CORE
spondent of the Cincinnati Times
Star. Still Miss Billy Burke goes on
her way unaltared, and the gentle
men of the second part after a brief
period of fond pursuit, have faded
into the remote landscape. Last win
ter gossip was especially sure that a
certain man, whose name may be CIV
en- for the purpose of this narrative
as Aloysius Jones, seemed to be up
in the running. He waited upon Miss
with chocolates; he fairly drolled

sonality on stage or street. But, he
too, fell away.
I'VE thought you were going to
marry Miss Billy Burke" said friend
the other day.
Aloysius Jones looked sad. II want

one of the greatest American play

as the author of Beau Brummel,"
which was written for Richard Mans

plays were 1.-THE Climbers" Captain
links of the Horse Marines" Bar
bara Frietchie," and 1.-THE Blue
Mouse"
In an interview a few months be-
fore his untimely end, Mr.. Fitch gave
this formula for the writing of sue
cessful plays: Great characters
that are human beings. Place them In
situations that are reflections of life
itself Make them act. and above
all things make them talk, like hui
man beings. If you do this sincerely
and do it WELL then-well, then you
may have success" Mr.. Fitch's own
characters were delightfully."- human.

If what they said and did often dis
played no great insight into charac-
ter, 1t at least provided entertain
ment for many thousands of people.
But perhaps tn most characteristic
and the most emphatic ability of the
man was in stagecraft. Few of his
contemporaries have been his equal
at arranging effects and working
out the details of a production to the
most trifiing bit of business" His
critics have said that on this ability to
place a stage picture before his au-
dience he depended to make up for
lack OF inherent merit in the play
itself.
There is a great field in America
for plays dealing with the history
of the country" he said. "Such plays
in England are made social docu
ments. There is no reason why we
should not have them. To give value
to such plays the manners and the
customs of the people at the time
described must be given with the ac-
curacy of detail"

COLLEGE EDUCATION AT u

them that, In general, a, college
course was worth while, but enumer-

be an extensive one. dema nding the

"A college course Is not worth
