GENEROUSLY

According to tests made at the

their supervision, the size of the
piece of potato planted has much to
do with the yield per acre.
When one eye pieces were plant
ed an average of 1855 bushels per
acre were secured, and two eye
pieces gave an average yield of "a
bushels per acre. Where the seed
potatoes were cut in quarters the

when halves were planted THE
yield amounted to 113 bushels.
A maxi mum yield of 140.5 bushels

search down to the basement, which
was filled with water. To determine
if any bodies were there, two fire
engines were set to work pumping
the cellar clear. task that will prob
ably require the greater part of the

Reports from the hospitals, where
Al injured were taken after the fire,
showed that less than 80 were de-
tanned for further treatment, others
having been sent to their homes.
Several of those remaining suffering
from burns and bruises are said to
be in serious condition and 1t is pos
sible, hospital authorities said that
more deaths may result.
Fire Commissioner Adamson last
night issued statement in which he
declared that loss of life among the
workers on the fourth and fifth floors
was due to the fact that one Of the
two stairways to the lower flowers was
closed by a locked door on the third
floor. The victims were unable TO
get past this door and were forced
to crowd on to the fire escape, as the
second stairway was cut off by

BAPTIsTs INVITE PASTOR
Rev. w. G. Towart of Grace Baptist
Church, Bronx, Receives Call.

The first Baptist church parish
which has been without a pastor
since the resignation of Rev. w. F.
Meyer on Oct l, has forwarded a
unanimous call to Rev. w. G.. Towart
pastor of Grace Baptist church,
Bronx, New York, to come to Ben
nington and take up the pastorate OF
the local church.
Rev. Mr.. Towart preached in Ben
nington two weeks ago and attracted
so much favorable attention that the
pulpit committee through chairman,
A. Buel Sibley, acting in conjunction
with the congregation, sent Mr., To
wart an invitation last week to as
same the pastorate permanently.
Mr.. Towart is 80 years Old, is mar
ried and has two small children.
Grace Baptist Church pastorate was
his first permanent charge since leav-
ing theological school. He was
graduated by Colgate university, in
class of 1909, where he was class
mate of Secretary w. w. Bartlett of
the Bennington County improvement
association. He entered Union Theo-
logical Seminary New York and was
graduated by that institution in 1919
He has attracted considerable at
tention because of his brilliant set
tlement work among the tenement
population of New York's east side,
and has also been extensively inter
ested in the vacation movement spon-
sored by the Baptist Missionary So
ciety
Mr. and Mrs. Towart are very
strongly recommended by those who
know them personally. The first
Baptist church is now in very pros
porous condition, having an enroll
ment of over 500 Because of his
record, both in the pulpit and in the
field, it is believed no better young
man could be secured to assume the
pastorate permanently.

HAVOC BY ZEPPELlNs
Berlin Claims Much Destruction has
Been Wrought in London.

Berlin, by wireless to Sayville, Nov.
Very serious material damage was
done in London and the metropolit-
an district by the Zeppelin lombard
ment of October 13, according to in
formation obtained from all authorit-
ative military source here. The raid
was vastly more effective than any
of those which preceded it. Not only
were several docks damaged, but
warehouses were burned and some of
the ships hit, are said to have been
destroyed, The Woolwich arsenal, it
is claimed, was truck and some of the
machinery destroyed.
1t is asserted that the London
docks were effectively bombarded, as
were the East India docks, where a
big warehouse was burned. The quay
wall of the city of London docks
was damaged and cotton ware
house was burned at Victoria docks.
The tower of London and the lower
bridge were bombarded.
The city proper and the newspaper
section suffered heavily, the Morn
ing Post building being damaged.
Many buildings were demolished in
st. George, Lehman, Liverpool, Moor
gate and Minories streets, Chancery
Lane, Bishops Gate, and Old Gate, In
some places entire blocks are said
to have been wiped out. Among
buildings the burned was that occu-
pied by the Southwestern bank.
Batteries with searchlights at Bill
lingsgate and Enfield and the pump
ing station at Hampton were damag-
ed Another searchlight was damag-
ed in a Kentish town and several
buildings damaged. Several buildings
were damaged in Eastman, Fire
from battery in Ipswich weakened
materially after few bombs had
been dropped on it.
Twenty.siX searchlights were kept
playing on the Zeppelins and four
aeroplanes attacked them, but none
OF the German machines were dam
aged, The continual fire from anti
aircraft guns showed that London
was very well defended, so far as the
number of guns were concerened.

VILLA RETURNS TO NAco
Believed to Have Abandoned the
Offense in Sonora

Douglas. Ariz.,--Nov General
Francisco Villa, accompanied by the
larger part of his artillery and cav
airy returned to Naco, Sonora,
twenty-five miles west OF Auga Prita,
from which town he was beaten back.
His retirement to Naco is taken in
Mexican circles here to mean that
Villa has abandoned the offensive for
the time being.
General Alvaro Obregon, Carranz-
as chief military commander remain
ed in Aqua Prieta today planning
with General Gales, commandant OF
the garrison, his future moves against
Villa.
Maj. Gen. Frederick Funston, in
command of the United States troops
on the border, left today for Naco.
General Manuel Dieguez, Caranza S
commander on the west coast, has oc
cupied Hermosillo. and it is believed
here that the announcement of this
fact caused Villa to change his plan
to enter the interior of Sonora for
fear Of being caught between Dieguez
and 0bregon.
Villa passed through Cananea, a
mining camp south of Naco, today.
The twenty-six Americans left there
TO operate the water and lighting
plants were not molested.

it punishable with death.
