HOW "MONA LISA
WAS RECOVERED

The Nashville Banner of last Fri
day gave the following interesting
account Of how the famous painting
Mona Lisa" was stolen and recover

The famous picture mysteriously
disappeared from the Louvre in Pa
ris in August 1911, and for over two
years the mystery remained un-

ceived note signed Leonard
which said:
I am in possession Of the missing
Mona Lisa, but being a patriotic
Italian, / desire that it shall remain
in Florence, the center of Italian
art"
The antiquary at first paid little
attention to the note, thinking II
came from mailman. Later he
saw fit to communicate with the di-
rector Of the Florentine museums
who suggested that he continue the
correspondence. The final result was
that a fairly well dressed young
man visited Signor Geri and asked
him to 90 and see the picture. Ger

Cure Sweet Potatoes
For High Price Time.

Successful storage Of sweet pota-
loes requires conditions somewhat
different from those necessary for
the storage Of other root crops The
potatoes need to be mature and free
: frem dirt, bruises and breaks in the
skin.
Dig the crop when the dirt is dry
and allow the potatoes to remain on
the ground in the sun for few
hours, but never leave them out
during the night. Pick up in bas-
kets, and haul to the place Of sto-
rage without removing from these
baskets, Do not use sacks for con-
tainers, as they allow many Of the
potatoes to be broken and bruised,
AT the place Of storage sort the po-
tatoes and grade by removing the
very small ones and all that are bro
ken or cut.
When large quantities are to be
stored a specially constructed store
house is well worth the expense,
Almost any outbuilding can be used
successfully. Nail strips over the
cracks so as to make the building
fairly tight. Near the center Of the
room put in small stove that will
hold fire well to heat the room.
For a room Of ordinary size, two
or three doors l0xl8 inches, near
the top and the same number at the
bottom Of the room will provide the
proper ventilation. These should
be fixed so that they will open and
close easily and. tightly
Some use bushel crates made Of
stats to hold the potatoes and stack
them one on topof the other. Others
prefer make small Slated bins. The
object is to secure thorough circu-
lation Of air through the potatoes.
The bins should be made so that
they will be three or four inches
from the floor and the same dis
lance from the walls Of the build
ing. Two by fours nailed to the
floor and walls give good ventilating
space. The Stats are easily nailed
to these, leaving about an inch
space between each. The most sue
cessful bins are not more than five
feet square and four or five deep.
Before placing all the potatoes in
the house open all the ventilators,
build a fire and dry out the house
thoroughly. Place tn e potatoes
carefully in the bins so as to pre-
vent bruising. During the first
ten or fifteen days leave all the ven
tilators open and keep the tempera-
ture between IS and IS degrees

have a thermometer in the storage
house The constant circulation Of
this warm air will leave the pota-
toes perfectly dry The heat should
now be discontinued and some Of

the ventilators closed. Keep the
temperature between SIS and so de-
erees if possible. This can be con-
trolled to a large extent by ventila-
ton. If the weather is warm keep
the ventilators closed during the
day any open during the night. If
the weather is cold close them at
night and open them during the
warm part of the day. If it be-
comes damp in the storehouse, dry
out for few hours with a little fire
closing the bottom ventilators and
leaving the top ones open.
If the storehouse is being used
the second time it should be disin-
fected before the potatoes are placed
in it. Either a good coat of ordi-
nary whitewash or a spray made Of
one pint Of formalin to 80 gallons of
water will be effective.

Southern Negroes
Are Going North

In regard to the recent and mark.
ed exodus of Southern negroes to
the Northern States, the Nashville
Banner says;
The negroes who have gone
North haven't gone because Of any
bad treatment accorded them here.
They have gone because agents in
search Of labor needed in the great
industries Of the North came South
in search Of labor and offered them
higher wages than they were offer
ed here. They didn't 60 expecting
equality with the whites or because
of any injustice they may think
they suffer here.
"A great many have been taken
to West Virginia, a part of the old
slave-holding Sourh, where Senti-
ment respecting the races doesn't
differ materially from that in any
other part of the South.
1t is not recorded that the agents
who have come South offered in
ducements to educated negroes to
90 North. The demand for negroes
for Office positions in Northern in
dustries is not manifest and not
likely to be soon; not even the skill
ed laborers of the race are offered
any inducement to migrate. 1t is
negro muscle and Drawn that is
wanted; it is wanted for rough work
and no philanthropic reason plays
any part in the matter. 1t Is not
the people Of the North who are af-
ter the Southern negroes, but cold
blooded capital that is void of sem
timent Of any kind and needs labor
The European supply has been cut
off and the Southern negroes furnish
the only resource in time of a great
emergency
We can add that so many COM
mon negroes laborers leaving the
South and going to the Northern ci-
ties, means both a scarcity Of labor
in the South, and future trouble in
the North. The place Of the negro
in the South can not or more cor
rectly speaking, will not be filled by
the white man however dire the
needs Of the latter may be.
