ARKANSAS GRADES
 FOR SWEET POTATOES
Federal Office 0i Markets Aids Russell. vile Producers in Planning
 for Uniformity.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The office of markets and rural organization of the United States department of agr- culture was called upon recently to assist in the establishment of tempor ary grades for the shipment and mar keting of sweet potatoes in several of the potato sections of the state of Arkansas. Investigations were car ried on at sweet-potato houses in different parts of the state by an in vestigator from the office. Confer ences were also held with a number of growers, with the result that the following grades were arrived at and adopted by the Russellville, Arkansas, held in Russellville on December II, 1915:
 Prime or No. 1 Bakers.
 This grade will include all pota- toes of one variety from 2 to 3 inches in diameter, with none over ' inches 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. , Bakers.
 This grade will include all potatoes of one variety from 1 3-4 to 3 inches in length, all to be clean, bright, nat ural color, sound and free from rot or disease. This grade may Include crooked or irregular potatoes.
 Jumbo.
 This grade may include all potatoes oi one variety over inches in diam eter, with none over 8 inches in length all to be clean, bright, nat ural color, sound and free from rot or disease.
 It appeared from the investigations made that the Prime and Choice grades (the latter being the principal market grade) would include from 40 to 60 per cent of the crop. From these enough potatoes of the Prime grade could be selected to represent from 12h to 15 per cent. The re- mainder of the crop would be divided between the Jumbo grade and seed stock: the seed stock ordinarily talk ing all sound potatoes, free from rot or disease, cuts or bruises, and less than 1 3-4 inches in diameter.
 The Jumbo grade is not recom- mended for shipment to the Northern or Eastern markets, as they do not desire potatoes of its specifications However, potatoes of this grade should find a ready sale in the South where they may be used for such pur- poses as pie-baking and canniny
 These suggested grade rules have been submitted to several of the lva!' ing commission merchants and buy CTS in different markets, and the c)c sensus of opinion seems to be tha strict observance of these rules by the growers and shippers of the tn tire South would be instrumental i1 the elimination of much ungradet

Big Steve" as the financ.er is called in the street. vainly spends fortunes to find the child whom he had planned to make his heir. But the willy Van Tromp defeats all his efforts.
 The lad is raised as Stephen Adams, an enemy to society. His preceptors are crooks, who instruct him in the priciple that it is noble to steal from the rich to give to the poor. Grown to manhood, Stephen idealizes his criminal craft and looks upon himself as, Q modern Robin Hood.
 Returning from a rich haul in France, on shipboard he meets Deci- ma Duress, the beautiful daughter of Ben Durcss, Janissary's old busi- ness partner. who died making Janis- sary the girls guardian. Decima and Stephen have a common cause in their interest in the poor and their friendship quickly ripens into love.
 Meanwhile Janissary, who has crushed many since he attacked Van Tromp, plans, to crush others. Docu- ments in his sife will convict certain men of criminality, long since for gotten. Through the papers he seeks to bend these men4to his will. Deci- ma and Stephen both have a strong interest in one of .Janissary's pros pective victims and when Decima tells Stephen that the discriminating papers are in her guardians safe. he determines to steal them, as his last illegal act.
 Then Van Tromp gets his revenge. He betrays Stephen. When Jan1ssary has him arrested, not knowing his identity. Van Tromp triumphs ill dis closing to him that the roboer is his own son. He tells Janissary that for making him a pauper. he has made Janissary's son aathief.
 Janissary, overcome by the revela- tion. shoots himself. An old will is found, which leaves Janissary's en- tire fortune to his son. so Stephen and Decima marry and devote them selves and their millions to helping the poor.n9eu ;,.
