yesterday by the gentleman him
self who of his own free will and
accord built himself up a second
beautiful Thanksgiving jag and had
to be taken staggering to the station
house.
This time it was admitted that
Representative Brown was simply a
weak brother" and instead of talk
ing about plots and conspiracies, the
attorneys who represented him sim
ply admitted the alligator and asked
the arresting officers to be sympa-
thetic instead of trying to rub it in.
Representative Brown was so
jubilant at the time of his arrest
that he was endeavoring to adopt a
baby at the Terminal Station. His
enthusiasm caused him TO snatch the
child out of the arms of its mother,
and while the baby wasn't hurt at

HOW TO STORE SWEET
POTATOES FOR WINTER

Gainesville, Dec. THE price of
during the winter and early spring
than at harvest time that some eff
fort should be made to store the
crop. Sweet potatoes are hard to
keep under ordinary conditions but,
/, with proper precautions the farmer
can keep them and he will be we'll
paid for his trouble, according to
c. X. McQuarrie Of the University
of Florida Extension Division.
rhe best method of keeping them
is in the storing house. The size
will depend upon the amount to be
stored. Directions for constructing g
"a house will be found in Farmers
Bulletin 548 of the United States
Department of Agriculture, which
can lie had free by applying\to the
department at Washington. The
house should be placed on pillars
The outer walls should be made of
rough boards on the studding a layer
Of building paper, and finally on the
outside, matched lumber. Building
paper should be placed on the inside
and covered with wainscoating. The
raeteis inside and out should be COW
cred likewise.
A house 20 by 40 should have
three windows to th side and door
in each end. Windows should be COW
cred with heavy double walled,
hinged shutters whicn open from the
outside. Some of the windows
should be glass SO that light can be
admitted without exposing the in
terror to cold These should also be
provided with shutters. The floor
shcuid be double and lined with pa
per.
The Slated bins should beplaced
siv inches from the walls and four
above the floor. Leave hallway
through the center. Ventilators, 12
by 12 inches should be placed in
each corner and Oh each side of the
stove II stove is used Two venti-
lators s by inches should be placed
in he roof. All ventilators should
be provided with shutters so that
they can be closed. Those in the top
should have roofs ID keep out rain.
The secret in storing sweet po-
tatoes is to cure them thoroughly
to sort out the injured and diseased.
and keep them dry and free from
cold The trouble will be repaid in
higher prices when potatoes are
scarce.

TRYING TO REVIVE
CHAMP CLARK'S BOOM

Washington, Dec. THE Champ
Clark presidential BON has been
trotted out again, busted off and put
in running order.
The incentive for his proceeding
is the warfare which William ].
Bryan has opened on President Will
sons preparedness ] -ogram. The
Clark boomers, who are ever on the
alert, are disseminating the idea
that it would be a good thing for
the party to pass up both of these
cont ,nders and nominate a third man
for President. The third man is
from Missouri.
Unless a third man is nominated
Bryan will do to the Democratic
party in 1916 exactly what Roose-
welt did to the Republican party in
1872 the Clark boosters are saying.
And they add impressively:
"We should not give Bryan
cnance 10 hOoseNeltlZe tne Deino-
cratic party"
The notion that the President and
Bryan will get into such a scriIn-
mage as to make Il advisable to
nominate another man is taking hold
to some extent among Democratic
members of Congress, who have al
ways and very partial feeling to-
ward Clark. Much will depend as
TO the subsequent momentum to be
attained by the movement on how
hard Bryan fights the President and
how much bitterness is stirred up
between them.
