FROST-PROOF POTATO FOUND

London, Oct PA new blight proof and ost-resistnig potato has been discovered by John Harris at Raethi New Zealand. The discovery is said to be the most important one in agriculture in many years, and the agricultural department of the New Zealand government has investigated the phenom- enon and admitted that the properties claimed for the new potato are beyond question:
 Mr. Harris has been experimenting with potatoes for years, and some time ago he noticed healthy stalk growing among a crop of Northern Stars and Fl Dorados, all of which were affected by blight. He took up the root of the healthy plant, and finding it in a perfect state, began to experiment The result is that potato now called the New Era has been grown. The plant was carefully nourished and tended, and for sev eral seasons a new crop was propagated from the seeds of the previouos crop. The variety has been placed under the closest observ vation, but on no occasion has there been the slightest trace of blight or disease caused by frost, though the crop planted next to it has been blackened by severe cold and is even now badly affected

WOULD DEVELOP THE JIM
 THORPE TYPE OF ATHLETES

Paris, Oct. 27.--In the hope of defeating the United States at the sixth Olymplad, to be held in Berlin in 1916, France has put the finishing touch on the greatest athleuc organization the world has ever seen. lhIS touch was the definite promise of SlOO ODD as a government subsidy to supplement PIT vate subscription for the purpose ot pc pairing record team to be sent to the next Olympic games.
 The war office will allow the army to be fine-combed fcr material and choser soldiers will be permitted to do their time. to q ,arge extent, on cinder tracks and in train ing quarters, all expenses paid.

 More work and more activity generally will be in evidence on Long creek this win ter than a year ago, in the oplnlon ot Charles Fornander, one of the discoverers of that creek Fornander states that 1t Is his firm conviction, from what developments of the past season have shown, that Ruby as mining camp has very bright future. This IS going to be long lived camp, and a world of money will be taken out of the ground in the next few years" This state ment he backs up by pointing out the pay ing claims of which the value is aready known, and the additional pay shafts put down on Long creek Greensboro and Poor man creeks. It is safe to say that there will be other creeks which will show a pay streak before the season is far advanced

 There is talk among the deputies in ia vor of arranging things so that all soldiers wlo distinguish themselves in the athletic heIl may first serve about six months of their three years regularly in the army and then be ''detailed for duty" at Rheims, where for two years and half all they will have to do will be to train. EX-Mnis- ter of War Messimy himself told the cor respondent that he personally favors the plan. But even if this does not go through, athletic soldiers will be allowed the time to do serious training throughout their com pvlsory military service, and whatever hap rens, the Olympic committee will have the pick of the entire army at its disposal.
 Special effort is being made to develop the Jim Thorpe type of athlete; that is, the all-rounA o.an. For this purpose a series of field days Is being held all over France, in which all vho enter take part in al. con tests, which include the decathclon events.

JAPAN WILL MAKE
 CHINA BATTLE-GROUND

London, Oct PA Picking dispatch to the Daily Telegraph says:
 "Japan is preparing to make China battleground Her rivalry with Russia was not settled by the late war No Russo Japanese agreements whatever exist regard ing Mongolia or correlated territory.
 "The Japanese policy has been devoted to preserving the status quo in Manchura thus leaving her free to take any necessary counteryaiiing steps.
 'The Japanese policy in China, summed up, means the planting of garrisons without Jerr;tcriel leases, thereby guaranteeing the integrity of China by forestalling others. At Hanl,ow the garrison of 2,000 men will be retained Another probably will be planted at the Great Tahyo iron mines, near by.
 Especial J2panese concessions, under po- lice control will be demanded at Nanking, WI ch policy will be repeated at Flu Chow, Annoy end elsewhere. In case of trouble, the railways, in which it was hoped that British capital would be interested, would also be demanded.
 The Japanese naval unit will be in- creased in Chinese waters There will be TO danger to British interests if Great Brit ain disrIays her usual hexibilty.
 Picking is no longer the capital in the old sense the loss of Mongolia and the ab- sence of the usual intercourse rendering 1t unimportant and transferring the power to the south.

 Commissioner Ray Freeland has found a new puzzle that has made the notorious How Old Is Ann?' look like relic of the Stone Age It is a very simple little problem, and no person around the city hall has yet been able to offer a satisfactory eX rlanation. Here it is:
 Five men enter a cigar store and each purchases five 5-cent cigars; each will spend p cents and all will spend total of $1.25. A second set of five men enter the same cigar store and purchase cigars for each ,ther, with the same result. The net re suit is that 10 men purchase 50 cigars at a total cost of S2.50.
