POTATO CROP LARGE
ireland Has The Same, But Won't
Find Market Here This

Washington. d. c., Jan. 15.-H Ire
land is looking to America to help her
out in the consumption of her huge
potato crop, she will likely be disap-
pointed. The people of, this country
have potatoes enough and some to
spare. Net a sack of potatoes will be
imported from Ireland this year, say
the largest potato dealers.
Last year DIT this time shiploads of
the tubers were brought from Ireland,
and dealers were glad to get them.
When the crop is short the United
States looks to Ireland to make up the
shortage. This year has been record
breaker, both countries having bump
er crops. Trade papers say the yield
of potatoes in ireland Is SIS tons to the
acre, as against "a tons last year. The
acreage is given as less, but the aggre-
gate crop is larger than for 10 years.
The same holds good in this coun-
try. Potatoes are selling at wholesale
at about So cents a bushel. In order
to bring them home from Ireland and
compete with the home market they
would have to be bought on the other
side for less than 20 cents a bushei.
The duty on potatoes is about 25 cents
a bushel and the freight 10 cents. so
that little would. be left for the origi.
nal cost and profit for handling.
Dealers say eve have enough any
way, so that does not make any diff
ference"

From The World of Saturday:
Mr. Victor Rohrer. of Liberty street.,

because insanity had developed in his
case and who. il was expected. would
soon thereafter be removed to the In
sane Asylum at Weston, was sent
home last evening. He is not only
weak in mind but very weak in body

thought best 10 take him home where
his wife would be better able to nurse
him. though little hope is entertained
for his physical and mental recovery.
1t may be added that Sheriff Ketter-

Rohrer admitted to the state asylum

that the institution was full. The dis

SNOW is GREAT

BIG BENEFIT TO WHEAT CROP

Life, Causing Same to Grow.

From The World of Saturday:
One OF the heaviest SHOWS in de-
eade has visited this section during
the past few days and blanket of
twelve and a half inches of the beau
tiful white" covers the county. The
snow comes as boon to the farmers
of the county and its value in dollars
and cents to them as well as to all the
inhabitants is incalculable.
Snow is one of the very best fer
tilizers for wheat crop and in this
way greatly benefits farmers. 1t is
known that snow is rich in nitrogen
and this is one of the chief ingredients
Of fertilizers and a necessary adjunct
TO plant life. Being heavily laden with
this life giving substance for plant life
it acts as fertilizer.
In another way snow is helpful TO
wheat and kindred crops. A good deep
snow forms blanket as it were over
the ground. There is always more or
less heat coming from the earth. This
heat as IL draws toward the surface

as result wheat and other plant life
grows considerably. That this is the
case can be seen when a snow has
lain upon the fields for some length
of time. The wheat fields emerge look
ing quite green and If the ground had
been frozen when the snow fell prac-
tically all the frost is out OF the
ground.
The present snow began falling
early Thursday morning, continued all
day and Thursday night, and at inter
walls on Friday. If it melts gradually
practically all the water will soak in
to the ground and will materially as
sist in replenishing the streams which
have been weak as result of the
drought OF last summer. The snow
will be great help to the water sup.
ply Of many other localities.

STATE BADLY IN
NEED OF TEACHERS
One Thousand Persons in West vir.
GINA Wanted as Sunday School
Teachers.

I'VE want one thousand more stu
dents in our Misunderstanding classes
throughout this state" said Secretary
A. T. Arnold Thursday afternoon in
conversation with reporter. This
is the greatest branch of the Sunday
school work which we are carrying on,
and the one, when 1t is finally estab-
lished in its entirety. will do more for
the strengthing of the Sunday school
cause in the state of West Virginia
and the United States than any other
one thing which we are doing. BY our
teacher-training work we mean a
caurse of instruction which makes bet
ter teachers. The course consists OF a
series of text books on the subjects
relating TO teaching in Sunday schools,
and embraces a comprehensive and
general study of the Bible in connec.
ton with it. The course requires but
a few months, and when once COM
pleted, the student has not only the
theory of teaching Sunday school
class, but also has the knowledge
and as he has probably been teaching
while taking the course, he also has
the practice. We already have a
large number who are studying to be
trained teachers, but we want one
thousand more In the state before the
end Of the present year, and to that
end are now launching a campaign
by which We anticipate We will be
able to get that number. We are
asking every superintendent and Of
| ficer in the state to take the matter
| in hand and wage vigorous personal
campaign among the most promising
Of his corps OF teachers, and IL we
are able to enlist but single teacher
| from each school, we will have ac-
complished our goal and viii have far
exceeded it.
Summer Training School.
mot only are we anxious to make
the teacher-training work power in
the state, but we also have plans for
mere mature training than is pos
sible for one to acquire at home, and
that is the object OF our summer train
ing school, which is conducted for a
| few weeks every summer at the State
university at Morgantown. The state
4 board of control has, at the instance
Of cur state president, Rev, ID. b.
Purrinton, who is also president OF
the university, granted US the use OF
the university building and grounds,
and for the past few years we have
conducted our school there. Each
year 1t has grc wn and the school last
year had away over one hundred stu.
dents enrolled. all of them taking the
higher work in Sunday school teach
er training. This school Is really for
the purpose of rounding out and COM
pleting~the knowledge which cur stu
dents gain at home, and we anticipate
that the attendance here OF students
new and old, during the present year
will reach figure well beyond two
hundred.

0ld-Timers Object to Any Change
in Inauguration Day.
ALMOST DEFEATED THE BILL
Measure to Substitute Date in April
Escaped Only BY Adjournment Of
the House-The Presidents Views
on Conservation as Sent to the
House in Special Message.

Washington, Jan. 15.-An unexpect
ed early adjournment of the House
probably saved from defeat the Henry
resolution proposing an appointment tc
the Constitution changing the date OF
Presidential inaugurations.
Led by Representative Perkins. Of
New York, the opponents of the reso
luton showed evidences of unexpected
strength.
Fearful lest he could not muster
enough votes to secure the required
two-thirds majority for the adoption OF
the resolution, in the absence of sew
eral members who were committed tc
support it, Representative Henry, oil
Texas, It's author, was determined to
prevent vote At O'clock, after he
imous consent to continue for one
hour. Representative Sherley, of Ken
tuckey. objected.
Representative Gaines, of West Vir
ginia, then moved the previous ques
ton, and on a division the motion pre-
vailed by the close vote of 81 to 81. TIC
prevent vote Mr.. Henry made the
point of mo qroum," but before the
Speaker could order the doors closed
and absentees brought in Mr.. Parker
saved the day with motion to ad
journ, which was carried without op
position.
The resolution was vigorously de
Tended by Representatives Parker Of
New Jersey; Henry, of Texas, and
Goebel, of Ohio. On the other hand
Representative Stafford, of Wiscon
sin; Campbell, of Kansas; Harrison
of New York; M. E. Driscoll, of New
York; Craig, of Alabama; Lindbergh
of Minnesota. and Sissons, of Missis
sippi, spoke strongly against it.
The first hour of the days session
was devoted to the reading of the
Presidents conservation message.
