TEXAS APPRECIATES VERMONT.
Eagle Pass Newspaper Pays Heart.
Tribute to First Vermont.

The Vermont regiment is due to
leave for their home state tomorrow
or next day. Eagle. Pass regrets b, to
seeathem go..a-Col. Reeves and his regi-
ment have made an enviable record
and leave many friends in Eagle Pass.
The men have been busy soldering
and making the best of conditions from
the day they landed here, and their
camp was turned from a rocky hill in
to one of the most convenient at Eagle
Pass, and the conveniences secured by
cooperation and united effort have been
remarkable.
Yes, we regret to see them 60 be-
cause they made good and were the real
goods. When they get back home and
are mustered out and again resume
their places in private life we trust
it will be final and that their services
will not be needed again, but if per
chance there should be a second call
and order be to report at Eagle Pass
they will find a most hearty welcome

AUTOS IN SOUTH AMERICA.
American Manufacturers Regard 1t as
Land of Promise.

Several who are investigating bust
ness conditions in the various coun-
tries of South America, and who are
reporting back to manufacturers in
the United States seemingly agree that
Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay offer
the best fields for the American manu-
facturers. Every section Of the South
American continent welcomes the au-
tomobile, and there is a splendid mar
ket for the makers of the United
States. All of the most remote SEE
tions of South America are being in
vaded by the motor car.
Even in those countries where
good roads are scarce, the automobile
is becoming u necessity for industrial
purposes. In many places 1T is begun
ming to demonstrate its value in the
transportation of freight and passen-
gers. where railroads are impracticable
or too expensive to build. In the bar
rem nitrate section of Chill, where the
cart and mule have long done faithful
service, there may be found i'll use
now a number of motor ears. 1t is
reported that eight motor trucks are
to be given an early trial i'll the hand
| ling of nitrate. Paraguay saw its first
motor truck in action a few months
ago. This was at AsunciCn. a con
siderable number of pleasure cars are
| now in use in the Paraguayan capital.
When the first motor truck arrived
there it created sensation, and the
president of the republic and several
members of his cabinet made trip in
| it over the toughest section of the
highway selected for trials. The truck
proved wonderful and several more
are to be placed in service between
interior districts and the large towns.
Bolivia, the country noted for its di-
versity geographically has been us
ing motor trucks for several years to
advantage When railways were not
built with activity as demondei by
the trade of the country, trucks were
introduced on regular runs from Poto-
81 to Sucre, distance of $50 miles
over bad highways. The experiment
was n success, and became more 81 as
the roads were improved.
Peru is not the land of automobile
roads. Lima the capital, has 300 ma
chimes, many of which are taxicabs
In Colombia the department of public
works has made plans backed by gov.
eminent appropriation, for construc-
ton of automobile highways. One of
these is from Popayan to Paste and
another from Pamplona to CansaAare
Highway improvements between Bo-
gotta and Boyaca, and from Santo
Maria into the coffee district of that
section are being built.
Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay pro
vide the great natural field for auto
mobiles today in South America.

RECORD YIELD OF POTATOES.
Fifty-four In One Hill on Farm in viii
namstown-One Tuber Weighed Two
and a Quarter Pounds.

A total of "a potatoes, total weight
of Is pounds and one potato alone that
weighed PA pounds, is the marvellous
yield of a single hill in a potato field
on Mt. Hope farm at Sweets Corners,
Williamstown, Mass. The hill was dug
by the manager of the farm, Nelson A.
Roberts, in the presence of a large num-
Der who had gathered for dinner. The
potatoes were brought to the center of
the town and placed on exhibition in
one of the store windows on Spring
street.
The employees of the farm, with their
families, gathered Sunday afternoon at
the farmhouse for dinner, which was
served in the big store house. After
the dinner the manager invited the
party out to one Of the potato fields to
see the potato crop of the farm and
while there he pulled the vines and
opened one of the hills, making no par
ticular choice except to choose hill
that looked thrifty.
Upon pulling up the vines a large
number of potatoes came with them
Then the manager began to pick out
potatoes from the hill and it seemed as
if there was no end to the potatoes in
the hill. After all had been removed
that could be taken with the hands the
dirt was thrown aside and more pota
toes taken out of the ground.
There were 81 potatoes in the hill, in
GLIDING both small and large. But the
small ones numbered only five. All OF
the others were of good size or large
and one, big one, tipped the scales a
two pounds and quarter. The 81
potatoes weighed 10 pounds immediate
ly after they were all dug.
The yield is an exceptional one, il
fact, probably a record breaker. The
average yield of potatoes in the state
of Massachusetts, according to stats
tics, is a pound or less. Consequently
this hill yielded more than 10 times tn,
average yield. The average yield il
a little more than 100 bushels to tn,
acre.
The potatoes taken from the hill cam,
from the Melted Gem Potato. The seeC
came from Idaho, having been sent t.
the manager last spring by potat,
grower of that state.
The potato contest at Mt. Hope farm
is nearing the end, as the work of dig
cling has been begun. Norman Sanfor,
has taken charge of the digging and j
present at each field that is dug an,
supervises the weighing of the hills ant
their being put away for the considera
tion of the judges. There are 20 con
testants and the work of digging is
considerable task.

HOOKER PLEASED AT VOTE.
John Kissel, Chairman of Enrolled Re
publican Voters League, Predicts
Defeat of Travis.

James F. Hooker of Schenectady, n.
Y, formerly of Brattleboro, who was
defeated in the campaign for the nomi-
nation for state controller by Eugene
NJ. Travis of Kings by about 100000,
polling 44,S0l votes, is pleased with the
size of his vote, considering that he had
no money with which to make a cam
paign and that he was opposed by the
organization.
John Kisscl is not at all disturbed
over the hubbub raised by the postal
card which he sent out on Monday,
says the Brooklyn Eagle of Sept. 20,
urging voters to support James F,
Hooker against Controller Travis, and
to which card he attached the names of
National Chairman Wilcox, State Chair.

Travis has sent the cards, together
with a mass of statements and allida-
Wits, to District Attorney Lewis, and
also says he will lay the matter before
the federal authorities, with a request
to ascertain whether the postal laws
have been violated.
"Oh, ycs,' said Kissel today, 81

plus the printers Fee"
"Were you authorized to use the
names of those leaders9'
"No. 1t is true that the names OF
Wilcox, Tanner and Vass were on the
cards, but they were simply there tC

the cards closely, you will find that tho

JAPAN TO RENEW DEMAND.
Wants the Rights of Her Citizens in
This Country Established - Restric-
lions Held Derogatory.

Japan s purpose to renew, after the
European war, her contention for the
right of her people to emigrate to and
own land in the United States, suggest
ed in New York Tuesday by Baron
Yoshiro Sakatani, ex-minister of
finances in the Toxic cabinet, was
frankly admitted Wednesday at the
japanese embassy.
Negotiations over these questions
which came to q deadlock two years
ago, are regarded by Japan, it was ex
planned, as merely postponed.
The deadlock followed a long series
of conferences between Secretary
Bryan and Baron Chinda, then the Jap
anese ambassador, and an exchange OF
notes between the two governments
over the alien land legislation enacted
by California.
After the state department had point
ed out that under its constitution the
United States government could do NJ
more than seek to prevent such legisla
tion and that persons affected by it hat
recourse to the federal courts, japan
closed the exchanges with a note saying
her complaint had not been answered
and reserving =" for the present further
discussion of the issue. ."
There will be no further formal dis
cussion of the subject, by the embassy
at least, until the arrival of the new
ambassador, Dr. Amoro Sato, who il
expected in Washington in a few
months.
The position of the Japanese govern
ment, according to informal statement
by embassy officials, still is that re
strictions on immigration and land hold
ing are not only derogatory to her dig
nifty, but are unjust under intcrnationa
law in that they are discrimination,
against her in favor of other nations.
The embassy believes the renewed
negotiations will be friendly in char
acter.
japanese policy toward the propose
trade war after the war will be out
lined here Friday with the visit o
Baron Sakatani, who is just back iron
the recent allied economic conferenc
in Paris. Japan is said to be deeply in
terested in the proposed trade war, a
her participation in it is counted OF
to remove serious competition in China
her vital trade field.

In the summer when it warm.
Sunshine s glory o. er its landscape,
