Some Potatoea.

Frank Teets, who farms down near
Logan, the town that Jim Shaw has
made famous, is some potato grower.
One potato grown this year weighs
exactly three and one-fourth pounds
while a dozen Of them picked up rath-
er promiscuously about the patch
weighed just 81 pounds. In one hill
there were thirty-four fair sized tub
ers, enough to fill a good sized basket.
This sounds like fish story instead
of a potato story, hut w. "A. w. Gull

Teets farm and saw Mr.. Teets dig the

Hon. Patrick D. Norton,

Dear Sir:
Under date of October 9th in the
Grand Forks Herald, appears an in
terview under the head Of "War Saw
ing Grace for Democratic Party, In
sists Congressman Norton" In the
interview you in effect state that the
Democratic program of legislation in
reference to producing revenue to OPP
crate the government under the new
tariff law, which replaced the old
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill; the new cur
rency bill providing for twelve reserve
districts, and other legislation in ac-
cordance with the Democratic plat
form, have all been enacted in oppose
ton to the interest of the farmer and
producer. You state that the Under
wood tariff bill has "dealt a hard
blow" to the country.

SVEN OLSON RETURNS FROM
OLD COUNTRY, TELLING MANY
INTERESTING TALES - EVERY
ABLE-BODIED MAN IN ARMY.

Sven Olson, wife and child, return
ed Monday from a six months visit
in Norway and Sweden. They return
ed on the Bergenfjord, one Of the Nor
wegian-American liners, making the
trip across in eight days. They had
no trouble in securing passage, only
found it necessary to wait for some
time for their reservation. They did
not sight cruiser all the way over,
the only incident Of the trip being q
huge iceberg from the north which
they passed safely.
Mr.. Olson visited the principal
points of the Scandinavian countries
and enjoyed his visit.
Mr.. Olson says the factories are
running on half schedule, all of the
able bodied men between 81 and 40
enlisting in the army, guarding the
coast. They spend three weeks with
the army, when they are relieved by
others, returning home for like per-
iod. Mr.. Olson says the prices for
commodities are about normal again.
The general impression in Norway
is that Germany will be defeated, tho
there are many German sympathizers
in that country.
Mr.. Olson said that all foreigners
in Norway and Sweden were compel
led to report to the sheriff when the
war broke out. He refused to travel
to the sheriff's Office, stating that if
the sheriff wanted him to report, he
would have to come to Mr. Olson. An
American girl who waited five weeks
before she reported, was severely rep
rimanded.
Mr.. Olson says that whiskey has not
been sold in Norway since the war
started, but beer and wine can be pro-
cured. In certain cities in Sweden
whiskey can be bought and many
Norwegians sent to Sweden for con-
siderable whiskey, making q great
howl 60 up from the Norwegian deal
ers who were robbed Of the business.

 Ferguson played with accuracy and brilliancy. He won the first set, 6-2 The second set was a regular battle. volleys repeating back and forth un til the end when Horrell was re- turned winner by seven games to five. Horrell in the third set was manifestly weary, and Ferguson won on his superb service, 6-1.
 In the fourth set the Phoenix crack made a magnificent brace He forced the playing, on his sheer nerve. His placing of cross court shots was dazzling, and his net smashes aided in sweeping the Fl Pasoan back. Both were playing valiant championship tennis. And the stands responded with more

Five sets, one of them deuce set, in which not more than half dozen aces were scored, determined the fact that "Bilr' Horrell of this city is the champion court tennis player of the southwest, and that "Fergie' Ferguson, of Fl Paso. who last year made Horrell faint on the Bisbee court, could not come back.
 It was the gamest exhibition of tennis ever seen in the west. Fer guson went down fighting to the last inch, yet nothing could> have been more courteous than the way in which he regarded the man who was beating him back with swift sure strokes of a heavy tennis racquet.
 It is said that they do not play better tennis anywhere And this is indeed true. Many who have. seen matches at Newport and LOngWoOd declare that this five set finals match was fully up to the national standard.
 The scores were: 2-6. 7-5, 1-6, GA and 6-4.

waves of cheering. Once when Hor- rell made a brilliant pass, Ferguson brought down the house with an eX- clamation, "Oh, Mother"
 This threw the brunt of the game on the fifth set. Everything de- pended on the shots and returns in this nerve tightening game. The re- suit was an exhibition that kept the stand quivering with excitement.
 The cheerful good nature of both contestants and their exchanges of roofing over the net made it a joy to watch them.
 Afternoon Matches
 After Horrell and AinswOrth had disposed of Cloud and Carruthers 6-3, 6-1, they tackled Ferguson and Bailey. There was some specially fine tennis before the doubles cup was found to belong to the Phoeni clans. Jack AinsWorth, being fresh, was in fine form, and Horrell, play ing by reason of his excellent nerve, staid even with his pal Horrell's service was remarkably effective in this match, but the Fl Pasoans made the locals play their best to win.

After the close of this match delightful touch was added to 2 thoroughly successful tournament by the presentation of the cups. Dainty little Miss Brenda Tweed, daughter of President Gordon Tweed, of the Phoenix Country club. presented the trophies. Mike" Neff, the grand old man of the tournament, and the hon orary president of the association. was presented with a huge box tied with red ribbon. At the request of the genial Mike" Miss Tweed open ed the box which was found to con tain a tiny silver cup as reminder of what might have been.

 Ewing is the first baseman. The reasons for the loss of the game were:
 (a) Ewing got the humps.
 (b) Oviedo had to play first in stead of pitch.
 tc) Kettle couldn't pitch much against the SoX.
 (d) Neither could Vinson.
 Resolved right down to the essence, the reason is-mumps.
 Twelve Phoenix runners crossed the plate successfully while Kettle yielded eleven safe hits and a slough of walks. The locals got but seven hits and four runs Trujillo scored after a two-bagger,

COMER'S JUGGLING
 WITH PENSION FUND
Governor in Statement Carefully Con- pares Receipts and Disbursements of His Administration With Those
 of Conner Concerning Pensions
By l.. s. BETTY

Montgomery, April 25-(Specia1) Carefully comparing the receipts and disbursements of his administration with those of former Gov. B. B. Co., mer, the governor of Alabama today issued a statement in reply to claims made by friends of the former gov ernor that MT. Conner during the course of his administration did more for the Confederate soldiers and the cause of education than any of his predecessors or his successor.
 The governor claims at the outset of his statement that but for, the large balance left in the treasury by Gov ernor Jelks at the close of his admin istration MT. Conner would have bank rupted the state. The executive claims that during MT. Corners administration the average annual excess of disburse- ments over receipts was sssO.
 Amount Expended for Schools
 According to the governor, MT. Co., mer spent for the cause of the public schools of the state during the last year of his administration s1,966, ,620. 26, whereas the amount expended for the cause of the public schools during the past fiscal year was 2,126,37S70.

TAG DAY NETS S225O FOR THE BOYS CLUB
Mrs. J. Frank Rushton Sc. cures Most Money-BOard
 Meets Tuesday

After long day upon the streets, tag gng all corners, the hundreds of maids and matrons last night counted up the receipts of tag day and found to their credit something more than $225o. which will be used in furthering the work among the homeless boys in Birmingham
 It was stated last night that more tags than usual were sold. but it seems that the amount paid for each tag was smaller than usual It seemed as though every man in Birmingham wore tag on the lapel of his coat, but among the ladies the tags were not so much in evidence Last year the ladies bought almost as many tags as did their fathers, husbands and brothers, but the men led this year.
 Mrs J. Frank Rushton has the honor of having secured the most money. She and her corps of assistants occupied thc city hall corner and that of the Hotel Hillman The other two best corners were the courthouse and the First Ma tional bank. The North Birmmgham chapter, Mrs. W. l. sanderson and Mrs. Sam Blake in charge, occupied the court house corner and Mrs. Monfort and her assistants were at the First National bank The names of the other captains and assistants will be announced later in the week.
 The amount needed to carry out the complete programme of the Boys club work for the year was not secured Nes- terday. There has been issued call for a special meeting Of the board of control of the club for Tuesday morning. At this meeting plans for the securing of the balance of the money needed to bring the funds up to the required amount Will be discussed. Some plan will be agreed upon to secure the money and the work will be carried to completion.

ON THE INCURABILITY
 OF BRIGHT'S DISEASE

Suppose we agree with those who be- 1, licve Bright's Disease incurable and use the term life prolonged" Now let us cite three cases.
 It was 22 years ago that the daugh- ter of the late N. w. Spalding, then Mayor of Oakland. was at the end of a long siege of Bright's Disease with dropsy and looked upon as hopeless. II was "A years ago that Mrs. M. Empey of Steiner street was in such a condi- tion due to Brights Disease and dropsy that two of our best physicians" gave her up. 1t was II years ago that ''the most noted analyst in this city" passed on the genuineness of the supposed in curable case of Bright's Disease of Edi- , tor R. M. Wood of this city.
 All of the above are pursuing their daily avocations at this writing, Janu- ary. 1914.
 The ability of Fulton's Renal Com pound to reduce aibumen in many cases of Brights Disease Is not matter of opinion but FACT IN PHYSICS and we will mail formula for albumen test that will show the percentage from week to week.
