vINELEss POTATOES

Seneca, Kas., July Ill. G. Moon
ey, former Missouri farmer living
six miles southeast OF Oneida, is
growing potatoes without tops.
The discovery was made by acci-
dent. Two years ago Mr.. Mooney
had trouble in getting seed potatoes,
His search led him to the Vondem-
kampe store at Kampler Swith. Mr..
vondemkampe, the proprietor, told
him that he had some large white
potatoes that he considered poor for
seed purposes. The seea was lacking
in eyes, slightly raised bumps taking
the place Of the dent that usually
form the eye. Mr.. Mooney gave them
a trial, however, and planted two
short rows in his garden. When the
potatoes came up Mr.. Mooney found
that he had poor stand. Down the
row at least one-thIrd of the hills
were missing. When digging time
came in 1912, the vacant spaces in
the rows turned out yie.d equal to
the hills where plants had grown.
At this time Mr.. Mooney figured it
out that the plants had been removed
by the family in digging for the sum-
mer meals. In the spring of this
year a sack Of the same variety were
planted and again poor stand re-
suited. BY chance one day Mr..
Mooney stuck a fork into one of the
vacant spaces and to his surprise
threw out half dozen good sized
tubers. A more careful investigation
showed the new tubers growing to
good proportion from the bumps that
had taken the place of the eyes on
the mother potato. Next year no Will
keep separate the tubers without tops
and plant them apart from the others.

MEXICO CITY PAPERS WARN RES
lDENTS THAT AN AMERICAN
INVASION IS NEAR

Mexico City, July 11.-Much space
is devoted today by the newspaper
here to articles in support Of charges
that American citizens are aiding the
rebels. ALLEGED specIric instances are
given, the material for wnrch in part
at least has been supplied from Of
ficial sources
The official correspondence is given
in the case of Jesse H. Johnson, Unit
ed States consul at Matamoras, whom
Elias, the Mexican inspector of con
duce several troop to join the rebels
who had captured that town. Elias
also accuses Frank Rabb, whose prob
able appointment as port collector at
Laredo, Tex, was recently under dis
cussion.
The charge is brought that an
American warship at Guaymas threw
tits searchlight on the city during the
recent fighting, thus enabling the
rebels to take better aim.
Another charge is tnat the wire
less stations at Tuxpam and Tamplco,
which are operated by Americans,
were used by the consul at Tampico
to supply the movements Of the fed
eral army to the rebels while during
the battle at Naco it is asserted
Americans knowing that big ship
ment of supplies for General Ojedo
was coming, instigated the rebels to
hasten their attack so as to obtain
possession of the shipment 1t is also
declared that the Eighteenth United
States cavalry while on patrol duty
aided the rebels in their attack.

of these charges, which fill seven
columns The newspaper insists that
the public should recognize the dan
ger of an American invasion in Mexi-
co.

cHlco-cHAvEz DATE CHANGED

The date for the Chavez-Chico fight
has been changed from July IS to
July 2S, according to information re-
ceived from Albuquerque today. The
change is due to the fact that Earl
Mohan, Chico's trainer. is at present
working with another man in Los

arrangement have yet been made but
the contest is practically settled as
Chavez is anxious to show the Duke

in his next bout with Chavez. The
