Extra! Evolution of Wee Rumor
and Chase it Led Reporter
in Effort to Trace it to Lair

This Is to show how rumor spreads
from mouth to mouth and how it grows
none the less in telling.
A rumor came to the Palladium this
morning that the wife of George w.
Homrighous, jewerer, had found a
note in potato, written by the WON
an who had raised the potato saying
she had sold it with others at the
rate of 80 cents bushel 1t was said
the woman who wrote the note lived
in Iowa and that she requested the
person who purchased this potato to
write to her and tell her the ultimate
price bushel.
A reporter called on Mr.. Homrig-
hous.
mo, it wasn't Mrs. Homrighous," he
said. "a Mrs. Crawford living on
South Thirteenth street told me about
1t. She said neighbor of hers had
found the note"
Calls Upon Mrs. Crawford.
The reporter called on Mrs. Craw-
ford, who lives at 23O South Thirteenth
street
Il heard about it from Mrs Finfrock
who lives three doors north" she
said. 1T seems that Mrs. Finfrock
was visiting in Piqua, Ohio, and her
folks there or some neighbor woman
found the note"
The reporter resumed the trail and
called at the Finfrock home.
81 was coming home from Piqua
when l overheard two women, who
got on the train at Bradford, telling
about the note. One of them had
found it in potato. 1t was written
by woman in Colorado and said she
had received 80 cents bushel for the
potatoes" Mrs. Finfrock explained
Mrs. Finfrock didn't hear whether
the woman answered the note because

Missionaries Safe;
Turks Let Christians
Alone In Palestine

BERNIE, July 31.-A large party OF
American consuls and missionaries
from Turkey, Asia Minor and Paies-
tine has arrived here. They include
w S. Hollis and Ralph F. Chesbor-
ough, Beirut; Jesse B. Jackson, Ale
pho; Leslie A. Davis. Harput; Edward
l. Nathan, Mersina; Theodore ].
Strive. Haifa; Otis A. Glazebrook,
and H. H. Dick. Jerusalem, and their
families. totaling about twenty-one
persons.
Consul Glazebrook said that about
sixty American missionaries and nine
ty American Jews left at the same
time. 1--WE were everywhere well
treated by the Turkish and Austrian
authorities during the journey" said
he. I'VE had to provide our own pro
visions. Naturally everything is dear
in Turkey but conditions there do not
appear to be better or worse than In
other belligerent countries. Foreign
residents in Jerusalem are quite safe.
No complaints were made to me.
There are now in Palestine about
500 Jewish American citizens. All of
them have been given permission to
leave but they prefer to remain. Be-
side these there are about $50 other
Americans, mostly college teachers
and professors, still residing in Tur-
key. We shall remain here until we
receive instructions from Washing

BELGIUM free?
NO CHANCE,SAY
GERMAN PAPERS

COPENHAGEN, July 31-The Ber-
lin Lokal Anzeiger, commenting on
the recent proceedings in the British
house Of commens, says:
mfr. Asquith's inquiry as to wheth-
er we were ready to restore Belgium
full freedom can only be meant as a
rhetorical question, for Mr. Asquith
must know that nobody thinks of
handing Belgium again to England
and France"
The Catholic organ, the Cologne
Volkszeitung, attempts to prove that
the retention of Belgium and the an
nexation of regions in the east are
indispensable to that protection of
the German frontiers which chancel-
lor Michaelis specified.
The Tageszeitung adopts this con-
tention enthusiastically Some of the
radical newspapers, on the other hand
seek to give the impression that the
government is so bound by the Reich
stag resolution that the Entente al
lies have only to propose peace with
out annexation or in IDENTITIES to OBJ
tain it,

One Gosh-Dinged
Pest After Anothe,

When it isn't one thing, it's another
think Richmond garden fans.
Tomato wilt, which causes tomato
plants to get droopy and curl up and
die, is the latest, several cases being
reported in the city.
The disease is a fungus which at
tacks the insides of the stalks, says
City Gardener Murphy. There Is
nothing to be done for 1t except to
plant your tomatoes next year in a
different place, says Murphy. as there
is no way to kill the disease without
killing the plant.
Tomato wilt is not to be confused
with tomato leaf spot, which can be
cured by the use of Bordeaux mixture
