URGES LARGE USE OF
 POTATOES AS FOOD
Prof. Horton Says Drying of Potatoes Is Unknown Art in the
 United States.

Chicago, Dec. 2.-The food value of potatoes was the subject of an address by Professor H. k. Horton, of the vel fare department of the American Steel & Wire company before the Ma tional Conference on Marketing and Farm Credits yesterday. He urged the large use of potatoes as a food, advocated the manufacture of surplus into potatoe chips for family use, and told how potato chips may be used as important foodstuff for farm animals. He said that potatoes furnish twenty five per cent of the necessary food of the German Empire and that in the families of German workingmen po- tatoes constitute fifty per cent. of the food consumed. He added:
 '"The drying of potatoes is an un- known art in the United States, while in Germany it is a well established, profitable business.
 But where potatoe flakes will be- come indispensable, once introduced, will be in the army and navy and the fitting out of camping parties. Dried potatoes can be kept almost indefinite ly, and besides the drying process re- duces the weight about three fourths.''

PROPOSES SYSTEM
 OF RURAL CREDITS
Organized After Manner Of Build-
 ing and Loan Associations

l Chicago, Dec. 2.-Robert D. Kent, Passaic, New Jersey, in an address yesterday before the National Con- ference on Marketing and Farm Cred it's proposed a system of rural cred it's organized after the manner of building and loan associations, the separate associations to be controlled by central national body. He fa- vored such a system because of it's inherent tendency to encourage pri- vate initiative. He said that govern
 ment operation of any business was
 not to be desired and was not neces-
 sary. He hoped for self capitalized
 system of rural credits. MT. Kent
 said in part:
 Each agricultural community
 should organize into an association all
 of the farmers and others who de-
 sired to share in the prospective bene-
 its, at the rate of one dollar month
 per share. If five hundred shares were subscribed, the end of the third month would see a fund of $1,5O0 available for making temporary loans to such members as might need to
 borrow. After the lapse of a year the accumulated dues, interests and repayment of short loans would amount to enough to warrant the As sociation in embarking in the farm mortgage business.
 Any number of local associations not less than ten and not exceeding thirty should form a district associa- tion, governed by a board consisting of one representative from each local association in the district. The dis trict association should be federated into a National Association. This body should receive from it's constitu- ent district associations mortgages previously obtained from the locals, such obligations being passed up from time to time as requirements dictate. Those mortgages trans mitted to the National association should bear the guarantee of their originating district associations. The National association, thus fortified, could sell out securities to the pub lie as long time obligations.
 "The National Governing board might we'll consist of the Comptrol- Ter of the Currency, the Secretaries of the Treasury and Agriculture, four men elected by the district associa- tions from among their boards of di- rectors, and four to be appointed by the President of the United States. The whole system should be under the supervision of. Federal official who should bear somewhat the same re1a- ton to the various associations that Is borne by the Comptroller of tho Currency to National Banks. With an organization thus constituted there would be no difficulty in selling its obligations at a very moderate rate of interest, particularly after the public had come to know the standing of the National Rural Credit Associa- tion.'

LENDS STRENGTH TO
 PEACE REPORTS
People in Holland Point to Editorial in Berlin VOrWacrtS to Up-
 hold Arguments.

Amsterdam, via London. Dec. 2, 2:5O a. m-Persons in Holland who recently have maintained that some sort of peace negotiations actually were under way in Germany and that a sudden peace was among the pos abilities, are pointing to an editorial in the' Berlin Vorwaerts as lending strength to their arguments.
 The editorial in question quarrels with the German censor for refus- ing to allow a discussion of peace III the newspapers and declares it is cer- tain most important facts are being suppressed.
 'It is necessary at this time,'' says the editorial ito discuss the possibil- itiy of peace, because if peace comes suddenly, a storm may arise for which only the diplomats and states men can be blamed. Public opinion will not tolerate peace without know ledge."

 I'm glad l didn't bet was MT rtndall.s only reply
 F. (. Parsons, 5 member Of the de posed Charities Hoard. was the only witnessed examined during the ses- sion
 Mr Parsons testimony was chiefly in rcfutation of charges made against the board by Dr Greene at the time of hts resignation and in his testmo- nv before the committee.
 The new power plant, for which S75.- GOO vas appropriated by the 1913 legis- lature. has cost the state Sll2.o00. ac- cordinE to Mir.

 Nir Parsons said he understood that only the preliminary plans were pre- sented to the legislature when the ap- propriation was made. He said tho plans used in the construction of the plant were revised by II F Smith. an rineer in charge of the work. and by Dr Greene Dr. Greene disclaimed all hut 4N .l-, plans
 At the conclusion of Mir Parsons testimony T., ,ireeue asked that he be excused from further attendance at the hearing saying that he did not feel called upon to fight the governors battle for him Br. Greene said he only sought to v.ndicate himself of charges made against him
 \ Q Pmdan. attorney for the old board members, said that should the tiuUc a little longer there would be no occasion to continue the hearing He said the case Is rapidly shaping itself into matter of personal differences between pr. Greene and the board. and that practically all charges excepting that of incompetency had been with drawn by both sides.
 Dr Greene admitted that he did not charge the members of the old board with anything but lack of knowledge of their duties and failure to do their Cuty eNpcditiously. He said that the board had started out to get him dis charged and that when he resigned ho cec:ded to reverse the tables and got them discharged
 And did" he said.
 No. you didn't. retorted Mir Parsons, referring to the contention of the old board members that the gov. ernor had no right to discharge its members,
