WHEN PLANTING P0TA-
TOES

It will pay to remember that
it is best to plant
Large pieces, at least from
two 10 three ounces in weight.
Clean pieces, free from scab
and smut.
Fresh pieces, not those cut
several weeks before planting
time.
Also, to see that all pieces are
free from excessive sprouting;
that they are not too greatly
shrunken; that they are free
from frost injury; and by all
means
Free from disease, especially
dry rot
Treat seed with formalin or
corrosive sublimate before plant
ing, and take every care of the
seed at the time of cutting.

Special Permission of Congress Neces-

One non-combatant American newspa-

No American who is in the employ
of the government of the United
States is allowed to receive any deco

For All Kinds of Services.
In the state department there is a

tention Of foreign governments to pre-

The presents of kingdoms. empires
or republics which are now in the
care of the state department were Civ

those for whom they were intended
were ambassadors. ministers. consuls,
consular agents. or military and naval
attaches stationed in foreign narts.
Congress once in a while has granted
permission to individuals who are in
the state service to receive decora-
lions and on one or two occasions it
has disposed of hundred or so of
the decorations at once by giving gen
eral permission to take them and
wear them. The gifts now in the pos

PREPARE GROUND FOR TREES
Blasting or Dynamiting Process Is Pre-
sented as Best Method of Loosen
ing Up Surface.

In some localities there is being
considerable attention given to the
preparation of the ground for tree
planting in way of loosening up the
soil to depth that will insure plenty
of moisture for the roots SC as to
carry the tree safely through the first
season, even if considerable of drought
prevails.
The blasting or dynamiting process
is presented as the easiest, cheapest
and best method of loosening up the
surface for proper planting and for
conserving moisture for tree growth.

A Little Shop Talk.

Once every four years in Wash
ington it is perhaps permissible for
the newspaper men to talk shop.
There are five Washington chron-
iclers now who are having their
troubles. They are the members of
the standing committee of correspond
ents. Their names and those of the
papers which they represent are Rich
ard v Oluahan, New York Times; Le-
roy T. Vernon, Chicago News; H. e.
c.. Bryant, Raleigh News and Obser-
yer; Earl Goodwin, Washington Star,
and William E. Brigham, Boston Tran
script.
There are to be held this year three
political national conveLtions-Demo
cratic, Republican and Progressive.
While the managers, if they may so
be called, of the conventions have
final power in the matter they act in
the matter of assignment of seats in
the press stand largely on the rec
concentrations of the standing COM
mittee of Washington correspondents
OF course this committee does not at
tempt to do anything more than to see
to it If it can that the newspapers and
the press associations get what they
are entitled to in the matter of seats
at the press tables
The standing committee of CORE
spondents has other duties to perform.
The convention seat duty Is only
matter of concern once in four years.
The committee has constant work
through the years. A new committee
is elected just prior TO the convenlng
of each incoming congress. The ehlet
duty of the members is to pass on the
applications of the persons who de-
sire admission to the press galleries
during the sessions of congress.
Only for the Workers.
II might be said here that no one
is allowed in the gallery either in
house or senate who is not bona fide
newspaper correspondent engaged in
his work of collecting and sending out
news from the capitol. No senator or
representative ever tries to get admls-
sion to the gallery for the purpose OF
hearing the debate either for himself
or for his friends, If he should at
tempt to get a seat in the gallery or to
get a friend a seat there, his desire
would be thwarted. and the proper
committees of congress would uphold
the newspaper correspondents in their
action in shutting out from the gal
lery even so high a parsonage as a
member of congress of the United
States.
In the city of Washington there are
about 22O newspaper correspondents
who are entitled to admission TO the
press galleries. They represent news
papers located in towns from Califor-
mia TO Maine and from Washington to
Florida. In addition to these CORE
spondents there are hundreds of 9TH
ers who are engaged simply in writing
magazine stories. impressions of legis-
lation, and books. Correspondents

Started Big investigation.

When the charge that a lobby had
been at work and was at work was
published, many of the senators and
representatives made light of the ac
cusation and said that Mr.. Wilson
would have to work to prove what b
had said. Within a few hours tbei
president undertook to prove hd
charge and the lobby investigation 0;
comparatively recent history was on.
1t is not too much to say that the
old-time lobbyist, the pernicious type,
has been absent from Washington for
some time. although he keeps up his
work from a distance.
A good deal has been written from
time to time about Hobbies. 1t has
come to be recognized and proof has
been adduced this winter of the fact
that the letter lobby is more efica-
cious than q personal lobby. and ordi-
narily it has little that is pernicious
about it.
The letter lobby consists in the re-
ceipt of letters and kilograms by sena-
tors and representatives from their
constituents urging them to support
this bill or that bill or to oppose this
bin or that bill When the letters
and kilograms come in in huge num-
bers. as frequently. they do. they have
a marked effect.

Farther east our lines held good under a bombardment of 12-irch and 16-inch shells. The Germans were repulsed at Wavrille at o'clock. Another attack upon Herbebois at 11:3 c'clcck was resisted until 4:30 o'clock, when Waxrille having been taken, our troops were obliged to retire. The bar Tier fire of our artillery held the Ger mans there.
 "Samogneux was in critical position. Our general in command put Topper Hill and Talou Hill in a state of defense The Germans trying to advance from Samogneux were several times checked by our artillery fire and left numbers of dead on the field. Two of our bat talions recaptured part of the Wavrille wood, but the Germans turned Beaumont from the west and the Posses wood from the east From that time the situation became grave.

CHENEY TRIAL ID.
 CONCLUDE TODAY
Troy, German and Deming Among Witnesses Exam
 ined Yesterday

Montgomery, March 20.-(Special. .)-Lit- tie progress was made today in the trial of Capt. John c. Cheney, former chief clerk of the department of agriculture and industries who is being tried here for the alleged embezzement of state funds. Only three witnesses were ex- amined from the time court convened at noon until adjournment about o'clock this afternoon. These were Robert G. Troy, expert accountant of Montgom- cry, who testified for the defense last Saturday; J. T. German, state examiner of public accounts, and c. P. Deming of Evergreen.
 MT. Troy and Examiner German on cross examination today admitted that according to their investigation of Cap tain Cheney's books there were no dis crepancies. MT. Troy on the stand last week told the jury that according to his calculations the state owed Captain Cheney small amount of money.
 Today MT. Troy was required to show on a blackboard how he arrived at his figures. For more than an hour he was asked questions with reference to his
 
 mitted that there was a short discrep- ancy against Captain Cheney. Exam iner German, who checked Captain Che neys books for the four years he was in office, maintained throughout his cross examination that he had found no irregularities in the accounts.
 It was ascertained, however, that both MT. Troy and MT. Gorman had exam ined the books of Captain Cheney by different methods from those employed by Examiner Craig, whose report led to Captain Cheney's arrest.
 Mr.. Deming explained to the jury a certain transaction in which he had sent a check for about $130 to Captain Cheney. The money represented part of $2O0 which had been sent to MT. Dem- ing to conduct a farmers institute. The check was made out to John c. Cheney, and Mir Cheney, it was declared, through error, deposited the check to his per sonal account. Later he deposited it to the credit of the state. The trial probably will be concluded tomorrow.
