clares He Would Seek Position.
Professor Paul Philippe Cret, School CT
Architecture OF tho University Of Penn
sylvania, who recently was reported
killed while serving in the French army,
may have met his fate while acting as

for the army. When the letter TO Mr..
Granger was dispatched, October 2i, he
was employed as a guard OF the railroads
near Lyons. In southern France, but he
told Mr.. Granger he intended to apply
for n position as interpreter In the Brit
ish army. Many Of his friends here now
fear he was sent to the front In this
capacity and has met his death.
Professor Cret's letter speaks of the
work being done by the men and women
in oil walks OF life in France. He says
Mrs. Cret was at work as secretary to
Or. Alexis Carrel, of the Rockefeller In
stitute, collecting data concerning the
soldiers confined to the hospitals.

A Win in the Bush Doesn't Count
in the Standing of the Clubs.

Licking bush teams proves nothing
of the condition or ability of major
aggregations, so there is nothing to
enthuse over in the showing of the
Chicago squads yesterday.
The Cubs beat Evansville, 10 to o;
the Sox firsts beat Yuma, II to 1, and
the seconds slaughtered Reno, II to
2. The Chifeds merely pulled some
old army stuff in the way of practice.
Neither of the teams opposing the
Sox could put up decent struggle,
the big league pitchers did not I'M
belt their regular stuff, and the bat
tiers tired from running the bases.
Reb Russell famed ten Yumaites
in five innings, and Hy Jasper, who
finished the farce, also behaved well.
This Jasper person seems to be one
Of the two or three pitchers who will
stick with the Sox through the sea-
son. He impressed Callahan and Glea-
son by his work on the coast, and has
clearly earned the right for trial
battle against a regular ball team
travelling at its right clip. He appears
to have everything but control.
That, of course, is an important
asset, but the youngster has lots of
time to learn, he is a worker, and
takes to instruction.
Batting was about all that stood
out in the game of the seconds
against Reno. Blackburne unloaded
two homers and two singles, Fournier
and Schneider four singles each and
Berger a double and two singles.
Kid Smith, who pitched a few in
nings with the Sox last season, has

SWEET POTATOES
in COLD WEATHER
One of Most Important Problems
Farmer Has to Deal With
Few Excellent Hints.
(By ]. MUNDELL.)

The keeping OF sweet potatoes in
storage is one Of the most important
problems the grower has to deal with.
There are few things that should
be kept in mind when handling the
crop and when storing.
/. Dig the potatoes carefully and
dry thoroughly in the sun.
2. Sort out the sound ones and
handle them carefully; for a bruised
potato does not keep well.
8. Keep the potatoes from getting
chilled.
T. Place the potatoes where they
will be dry and warm. A temperature
of from 30 to 65 degrees has been
found to be about right for keeping
sweet potatoes.
Make a circular bed about six feet
in diameter, in some sheltered loca.
ton, by throwing up the dirt from the
sides. Put on top of this a few inches
of straw or hay. Place on end in the
center of this ventilator fue about six
inches square and four to FIVE feet
long. The fiue should be bored full OF
holes up and down the side. to afford
abundant ventilation. The potatoes
are then piled around the flue in a
conical heap. The amount of potatoes
to put in each bank is from 1000 to
1000 pounds. The tubers are then
covered with hay or straw or other
material to depth Of three or four
inches. On top of this is put two or
three inches Of dirt, and this amount
should be increased as the weather
grows colder. The heap should not be
covered too deep with dirt at first, as
the potatoes most always go through
sweat and loss is likely to occur II
covered too deeply. The heap ought
to be examined in week or ten days
after putting up, and II too much
moisture is present, uncover the pile
and let dry as they stand for a few
hours, and then cover again.
The tubers may be taken to a dry,
warm room and there stored in sand.
A tight room in an unused building
will answer the purposes well, il some
ventilation is provided for. The meth.
cd Of procedure is as follows: Put on
the floor layer OF sand two or three
inches deep, and ON this place the po-
tatoes side by side until the sand is
covered Then pour dry sand over
them until covered. and then place on
more potatoes and cover as before. A
good many layers may thus be put on
top Of each other, until several feet in
height has been reached. When doing
this it may be necessary to place some
boards on the sides and in front to
keep the sand in place
When storing sweet potatoes it will
be found profitable to pay close atten-
ton to details. The potatoes should
be kept dry and warm. and be prop
erly ventilated.

NOTES OF THE POULTRY YARD
Contaminated Ground Is Frequently
Cause Of Dlsease-Plenty of Range
10 Of Importance.

Feed abundance, with variety.
Growing chicks need plenty OF
range.
Grit enables the gizzard to prepare
the food for digestion.
Exercise produces warmth, produces
pleasure and promotes health.
Abundance, without variety, will
wear the breeding stock out quickly.
The chicks constitution is made be-
fore the egg that is Matched is laid
The richer the fowls ration in pro-
,tein, the more water will be required
in digestion.
Soiled and contaminated ground is
a frequent source of disease among
the young chicks.
Food cannot produce good results
unless fowls have good air. Impure
iair causes the digestive organs to be-
come sluggish.
Hens will eat great quantity OF
coal cinders, and they are very good
for them. Try putting a load in the
chicken yard, and watch the results.
