POTATO CROP SHOWS GAIN
CENSUS OF FIELDS INDICATES
MINI. YIELD BOOSTED 20
PER CENT.
Douglas Has 1928 Per Cent More
Vast Acreage Has Been
Planted.

st. Paul. According to reports
received by the immigration com
missioner, H. j. Maxfield, from his
feldmen throughout the state, Min
nesota is to have one of the largest
potato crops in it's history. The esti-
mates from % counties show increases
of from to over 100 per cent. An
estimate of the average increase in
yield is 20 per cent, according to
the report.
Minnesota raised 26,000,000 bushels
of potatoes last year and an increase
OF 20 per cent means approximately
10000 bushels. If the prices are as
high this year as last, the. farmers will
pocket more than s2,500,000. Although
the increase is due largely to the in
crease of acreage on account of the
high prices of last year, Mr.. Maxfield
says the production this year is much
better than last year.
Hennepin county shows an increase
of over 25 per cent over last year. D.
E. Ryan says that there are from
100000 to 100000 bushels of pota-
toes shipped from Hennepin County
this year. Douglas county, according
to the report, shows the largest in
crease, 12S per cent Ramsey county
shows up well with an increase in
yield of 100 per cent.

soLACE IN HIS MISFORTUNE
Entombed Miner Had at Least One
Pleasant Thought After Two
Days of Suffering.

Miners are among the most heroic
people in the world. Danger Is always
beside them, and they are schooled to
believe that any time they will come
face to face with death. The result Of
this is that they are humorous in their
bol6ness.
In one Of the mines of Pennsylvania
there was cave-in which imprisoned
a miner named Jack Thornton. The
accident happened on Friday after
noon, and the fellow laborers of the
entombed man set to work at once to
dig him out. 1t was not until Sunday
morning, however, that they reached
his prison chamber, and by this time
they were wondering whether he had
been suffocated or starved to death
One of them stuck his head through
the aperture made by the picks Of
the rescuers and called out:
Jack, are you all right?"
"All right" came the reply, and then
after pause: What day is this?"
Sunday" exclaimed the friend.
Gee" exclaimed Jack, I'm glad of
that. That was one Saturday night
when those saloonkeepers didn't get
my wages."-Popular Magazine.

GAMBLER IS SLAIN
NEW YORK POLICE ARE BUSY
ROUNDING UP SUSPECTS IN
MURDER CASE.
AN ALLEGED CONFESSION
Names of Seven Believed Guilty are
Exposed-Victim Feared Be-
cause of His
Charges.

New York, N. Y Through the
alleged confession of a man under ar
rest, the names of seven men were
believed to be in the hands of the po-
lice as participants in the sensation
al killing early Tuesday of Herman
Rosenthal, the gambler, just as he
was presumably about to make import
tant addition to his recent disclosure
of alleged partnership between police
officials and members of the gambling
fraternity. Additional arrests are ex-
pected
According to District Attorney Whit
man, Rosentha1 was about to name
gamblers who could corroborate his
assertions regarding police collision
with men of hts calling.
That such shaking up in gamb-
ling circles was not relished by men
who might be involved was apparent,
1t develops from talk among members
OF inner circles" in the tenderloin
which began as soon as RosenthaPs
purpose became known. Threats were
made Monday, it is declared, that
things would fare ill for Rosenthal
il he pressed his charges.
Say He Was Threatened.
eff Rosenthal doesn't quit within
the next few days We will get him
and get him for keeps" was re-
mark of member of a poker party
at an east side association outing Sun
day reported by man who declares
he overheard it, to District Attorney
Whitman
Up to late hour, the police had
given no inkling of the man who made
the alleged confession. During the day
three men were arrested in connection
with the murder of Rosenthal. Louis
Libbey, part owner, 1t is alleged Of
the automobile containing the party Of
men who shot the gambler dead, was
one of the trio. The police declare
they are assured he was the driver Of
the motor car and have charged him
with homicide.
His partner in ownership of a gar
age, VIM. Shapiro, is another prisoner
held as a material witness. So is a
man whose identity the police hide
under the name of John Doe" who
was declared to have been near the
scene of the shooting Instead of fear
ing harm at the hands of the gambling
fraternity, Rosenthals chief dread, it
is declared, was police enmity be-
cause of his charges against a men,
Der of the force.
"The police will get me because they
have a system of always putting i'm
portant witnesses out of the way. Bet
ter men than / have been put out of
the way for daring to squeal on the
police" is statement attributed to
the gambler, made shortly before he
