SWEET POTATOES
 MAY BE GROWN HERE

Referring to talk about raising sweet potatoes hereabouts, J. H. Hale. who knows more than anybody else about what can be made to grow, said that years ago, when the potato beetle began business and. it seemed as the cultivation of potatoes was to end. he turned his attention to sweet potatoes and planted some ground with them and sold a good many plants to others. He found that on sandy soil with sunny exposure, if it was not wet season, it was easy to grow a good crop. For himself he raised more than he could use and sold the rest in the Hartford market. Much depends on the weather, for if it is too wet, the plants run all to vine. But raising sweet potatoes can be done right here and is worth the while if the other kind keep up among the clouds. How ever, with all the talk of growing po- tatoes this season, the prospect is that they will be plenty.

The announcement that the.Visiting Nurse Association had decided to ex- tend the scope of it's work by amalga- mating with the Associated Charities has been received with much interest throughout the city.

FOUR MORE YEARS OF WILSON.

On Washington and Lincoln, perhaps,
the load OF responsibility was as heavy as
on President Wilson, who NOW enters
upon his second term with his country
struggling for peace being ruthlessly
dragged into the maelstorm.
But the country is more thoroughly
united under Wilson than it was under
Lincoln or Washington. BY leaps and
bounds patriotism has been increasing, so
that with few discordant exceptions in
congress the American people have for
cotton political affiliations and economic
problems in passionate loyalty to the
president No wonder Senator Fall de-
clared he didn't wonder at the presidents
taking the American people into his con-
fdence through the press rather than
through the senate, which, with the world
conhagration licking around this country,
fddled as Nero fddled at the burning of
Rome!
The promptness and frmness with
which the president has met the challenge
proves the superb Americanism of the
man, and his craftsmanship has been fur
ther shown during the past three years
when. despite the distraction of agitators.
neutrality violations and economic turmoil,
he translated constructive progressiveism
into legislative enactment
Squaring every endeavor with practical
and democratic principles, President Viii
sons efforts have been to free the business
activity of the nation from the domination
of group of bankers and industrial cap
italists, to the end that there be a more
equitable distribution of wealth, but with
out handicapping business organization.
From his many addresses to congress-
and from his speeches, the American peo-
pie have been taken more fully into Viii
sons confidence than into the confidence
of any other president of recent years.
We, therefore, enter the next period OF
our national life confident in a continual
tion at the legislative progress of the past
four years, of Valley-Forge determination
in Our international relations, and of q
broad-visioned construction when a peace
full world enables our full industrial de-
veloprnent again.
