BOUND BOY TAKES TO HILL
Youth Rolls Himself Almost Back to
School After Hold-Up by
Bandits.

Pottsville, Pa.-The State police are
investigating a queer hold-up reported
to them by the school authorities.
James Vented, a thirteen-year-old
boy, while on his way to school, stood
near stable and. overheard two men
plotting to steal horses.
The men caught Vented eavesdrop-
ping and bound and gagged him. leav-
ing him, as they supposed, helpless
Although unable to break the thongs,
Wentzel was able to roll himself GU:
of the stable, and then he allowed him
self to roll down the steep Race street
hill
This loosened the ropes about his
feet, and in this bound-and-gagged con-
dition Vented was able to shuttle
along, and presented himself to his
teacher. Miss Mae Snyder, in the Jack
son street building.

Cruel Art OF Warfare.

One hundred years ago General Nc
Clure, learning Of the disastrous re-
suit of the American campaign In
Lower Canada and fearing his own
force would be attacked by the British
resolved to evacuste Fort George and
abandon the country. This he accord
ingly did, with all his troops, and with
such precipitancy that he left behind
his tents and stores His retreat was
accompanied by an act that had left
an indelible stigma upon his name.
The frost had set in early and severe.
The snow lay deep upon the ground.
Yet at 80 minutes notice. Of $50
houses in the Canadian village OF
Newark, he fred all save one, and
drove 400 helpless women and chill
dren to seek shelter in the log huts
OF the scattered settlers, or In the
bark wigwams of the wandering In
dians.

should be thoroughly dried in the
sun. The temperature at which they
seem to keep best is between so and
IS degrees F.
In some localities the common
method OF storage is TO place the
sweet potatoes in a cone-shaped pile
containing from 1000 To 2,O0q
pounds. The pile is then covered
with a layer OF dry, fine hay or
straw, followed by a layer Of corn
stalks, and on top Of all this two or
three inches OF sand or dirt is placed.
Others make piles like an oblong
pyramid three feet high and four by
ten feet at the base. This is covered
over by a frame properly built for
the purpose, two or three inches Of
earth being placed over the frame.
Stratifying the sweet potatoes in
sand has also given satisfactory re-
suits.

GOOD SEED INCREASES YIELD
Safe and Sensible Way lie to Clean
Seed Thoroughly by Running
Through Tanning Mil.
CBy E, J. MILLER.)

Many farmers still believe that
wheat, under certain conditions, will
turn to cheat. Be on the safe and SEN
sible side, and clean your wheat seed
we'll by running 1t through good
tanning mill or other seed-cleaning
machine.
II you clean all of the cheat and
other weed seed out of it, and there is
no cheat In your fields, take my word
for it, your next years wheat crop will
be clean wheat.
II your own wheat seed is poor, by
all means purchase good seed, not
only for a good crop next year, but
for the seed and the crops for the fol-
lowing years. One Of the best invest
ments that any farmer can make is
in good seeds of all kinds. There is
no mistake about this.

Senator John W. Smith Will Car

Maryland patronage will be taken
up at a conference between President
Wilson and Senator John Walter
Smith next Wednesday at noon. The
Maryland patronage tangle has been
one Of the knottiest presentedSto the
President for settlement, owing to
the enmity existing, between Senator
Smith and Senator Blair Lee, the

Six important jobs are open. those

President Wilson has preferred to
let the Senators in various States
settle their differences before taking
a hand in the controversy himself,
but the Maryland situation Is appar-
emily dead-locked.
While Senator Smith has candidates
for all six places. he has been most
aggressive in pushing the candidacy OF
Samuel K. Dennis for United States
district attorney. while Senator Lee
has recommended Clarence Bowie. He
has also proposed Guy Steele, of Car

must not be resisted, and new
tasks" in Asia Minor must receive
the chief attention of the Russian
general staff. This is a more prob
able assumption than that a marcn
on Vienna is being planned as new
task. Russia seems to be saying to
her allies that, having just won the
most important victory of the war,
she has done the chief part Of the
work assigned to her. and hereafter
the western allies must look more
to their own might for victory.
Such Z declaration by Russia would
mean that the Slav march on Berlin
has been abandoned for the march
on Ccnstantinople. 1t does not fol-
low from this that Russia intends
to abandon the campaign along the
German frontier. To do so would
permit the Germans to overrun Pc
land. But there seems little doubt
that Russia Is arranging to divide
her offensive strength and to use
part of it for the Asia Minor CAM
Daign. Such n change in Russian
strategy will allow Germany to use
most of her men against the Anglo
French and the Belgian armies,
while at the same time preventing
Russian invasion from penetrating
far into the Eastern Prussian prov
inces.
The allies undoubtedly are exerting
pressure on the Car to induce him
to follow out the original plan of
compaign. 1t Is necessary. however.
that much delicacy be used for the
allies cannot, at any cost, afford to
see the Kaiser's former hypnotic in
fuence over the Car return.
The situation is a grave one from
the allies standpoint. If the Gar
insists on going ahead with the
''other tasks" Germany's objective in
pursuading Turkey TO enter the war
will be realized.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Q1 a. M
The cryptic announcement of the
Grand Duke Nicholas at the end OF
last week, that Russia had won the
most important victory of the war
in Galicia and Poland is now fol-
lowed by the appearance of a fur
ther extract from his highness' re-
port, which must excite uneasiness
among the Western allies.
The grand duke declares that this
most important victory of the cam
paign permits our troops to turn to
other tasks, the inception of which
opens new period of war; These
other tasks must mean something
else than the Russian march on Ber-
lin. which was the original tack set
the Russian arms in the allied plan
of operations. Turkeys entrance
into the war would provide Russia
with new task If she desired to ac-
cept it, while the easier road to
Vienna than to Berlin makes still
another task possible. if Russia de-
cides the time has come for placing
her own exclusive interests above the
common interests of all the allies.
Ihe car Is understood to have
arrived at the field headquarters of
the Grand Duke Nicholas, and he
doubtless is accompanied by his
closest advisers. The statement of
the grand duke about "other tasks
Is not military announcement at
all. but is a declaration Of state
policy. What it means cannot at
present be interpreted with GER
Iainty. but the probable Inference
makes uncomfortable reading for
Russia's western supporters.

This would seem to indicate that the
breach between the two suffragist or
ganizations, resulting from the Con-
Democrats has widened rather than
healed since the elections.
The following telegram, addressed to
Mrs. Medill Mccormick, was received
at the association headquarters this
morning from Congressman Hayden OF
Arizona, one of the Democrats whom
the Congressional Union campaigners
attempted to defeat.
THE campaign of the Congressional
Union against Democratic candidates
in Arizona was an utter failure. Sena-
tor Smith has been reelected by a
handsome majority, and I received the
largest majority ever given to any can
didate in this state. Please assure the
officers Of the national association that
appreciate the fact that they have
supported the efforts of equal suffrage,
regardless of party. 1 hope that the
association will be free to command me
whenever I can be of service to the
cause.
