Statue to Potatoes.

people who like potatoes even better

statues to them, and evels If I could
afford it I hardly think should do
that.
"Onenberg was the first city to
erect a monument OF this kind. The
upper part consists of statue Of
Sir Francis Drake, who introduced the
plant into Europe. This, as well ~

of the potato vine. with full grown tu-
bers attached.

Neckwcar manufacturers thought
