Garden of Allah" Coming
 to Memphis

The one big spectacular play of this season that is to visit Mempkisy, is "The Garden of Allah" which opens at the Lyceum Theatre, for one week on Monday, Feb. 7th, with We'd, nesday and Saturday matinees.
 This great spectacular play was, made 7frcm Hickens novel and it follows the story thro' out with superb realistic set tings.
 In fact, the authors, manag- CTS and producers spent many weeks in Morocco, where the scenes are laid, to get the desir- ed atmosphere. Many animals wers also brought over to AmSfica--camels. goats, donkeys, pigepns and other live stock.
 Perhaps the most interesting of all the Tive things" being brought over are the Bedouins- a fierce tribe from the desert to the number of thirty or more.
 Prominent among the mem- -hersaof the cast presenting the V, sn3atic portion of the play
 he found MT. Lawson Butt, MT. Howard Gould, Miss Edyth Latimer, Miss Estelle Thebaud, Mr. Albert Andruss. MT. William Jeffrey and Mir. Leo De Valery. The company in it's entity con- sists of over one hundred and is exactly as seen for a year at at the Century Theatre, New York City.

Taking Gamblers Risk

Recently it was announced that Germany had found a sub stitute for cotton in making gun powder and that even after war that country would not use cotton in her ammunition factories. If the war does not close soon the European nations will be so crushed by debt that they will not be able to buy cotton for this or any other purpose. Of course the failure to keep up the supply of cotton for textiles would naturally make a tre- mendous demand for cotton If the people were not so burdened with taxes. The outlook for a big cotton trade next year is bad. The southern farmer who banks his all'' on cotton this season is certainly taking a gamblers risk. The safe thing is to make another "cut" and with a smaller acreage produce a good yield of a good quality and then stand a fair chance to get decent price, a profit above cost of production. The Exten- tension Division of the Univer- sity of Arkansas, cooperating with the Department of Agri- culture is making a campaign for safe farming.

GOVERNMENT GRADE OFs
 SWEET } PoTnOES
Grades Recently Establish ed in Russellville are Ex. plained in Govern ment Bulletin and
 Recommended for
 the South

Washington, D. C., Jan. 25. Coffee of Information. U. s. Department of Agriculture. J. The Office of Markets and Rural Organization of the United States Department of Agricul- ture was called upon recently to assist in the establishment of temporary grades for the ship ment and marketing of sweet potatoes in several of the potato sections of the state of Arkan- sas. Investigations were carried on at sweet potato houses in different parts of the state by an investigator from the office. Conferences were also held with a number of growers, with the result that the following grades were arrived at and adopted by the Russellville, Arkansas sweet potato growers at a meeting held in Russellville on December II, 1915:
 PRIME COR No. l BAKERS.
 This grade will include all notatoes of one variety from 2<tO 8 inches in diameter. with none over 7 in length. all to be- fairly uniform in shape, clean, bright, natural color and sound. This grade must be free from bruised, scared, irregular, crooked, rotten, or diseased potatoes.
 CHOICE (oR No. 2 BAKERS
 This grade will include all potatoes of one variety from 1 3-4 to 3 inches in diameter, with none oyer 8 inches in length, all to be clean, blight, natural color, sound, and free from rot or disease. This grade may include crooked and irregu- lar potatoes.
 JUMBO.
 This grade may include all potatoes of one variety over 3 inches in diameter, with none over 8 inches in length, all to be clean, bright, natural color, sound, and free from rot disease. It appeared from the investi- gations made that the Prime and Choice grades (the latter being the principal market grade) would include from 40 to to 60 per cent of the crop. From these enough potatoes of the Prime grade could be selected to represent from 121a to l5 per cent. The remainder of the crop would be divided between the Jumbo grade and seed stock; the seed stock ordinarily taking all sound potatoes free from rot or disease. cuts or bruises. and less than l 3-4 inches in l diameter.

ARMY OFFICERS SHOWN
ABILITY OF SAXON "SiX"

II took Saxon to demonstrate to
Uncle Sans engineers that a SIN
cylinder motor car is fit for the Cruel
ling service OF PershinG's expedition
in Mexico.
Since the boys in khaki crossed the
train has been piloted by a four
cylinder motor car. The puartermas-
ter's department refused to believe that
a six-cylinder could stand the hard
ships of the mountain trails.
Finally. 1t was decided to give the
six" a trial, and Saxon motor car
dealer was asked To furnish a car at his
own risk as pilot for the supply train.
The Saxon "Six" was sent as pilot
from Columbus, Texas. to OJo Fred
erico, Il distance of siXty-two and one
half miles. The mud was so deep on
this road that at one point ii took
the train nearly all day to go a distance
Of seven miles The Saxon was driven
with the mud pans dragging. The
bottom OF the crankcase was polished
bright from the rubbing of the mud.
Even with this condition, there was
absolutely no trouble encountered with
the car, and, arriving at its dcstina-
ton. 1t was washed and sent to the
machine shop for inspection. and the
citizen Inspector made the report that
tile car was mechanically perfect and
sale was made on the spot.
The success with which this Saxon
