London.-The MaXimalists have OBJ

sued a proclamation saying the new
government will propose immediate
peace, the semi-official Russian news
agency announces.
Premier Kerensky has been depcs
ed and has fed from the capital, the
semi-ofIlcial news agency declares.
Orders, it states, have been issued for

The Maximalists were assisted by
the Petrograd garrison, which made
possible a coup d'etat without blood
shed.
A wireless dispatch from Petrograd
says that the council of soldiers and
workmen's delegates has announced
that the split in the council has been
healed and that a call has been sent
out for a delegate from each $4,000
of the population to express the will
of the Russian army.

ITO All Army Corps and Divisional
Committees-There is a reunion OF
the soldiers and workmens delegates.

send delegates for expressing the
will of the army. We suggest to you
to send delegates Immediately from

ALLITERATIVELY SPEAKING.

The Ohio farmer has come to the
front with photographic punches
which go straight to the booze
mark. With "apt a~lliteration's
,-artful aim" he has expressed his pro-
hibition preferences. At a meet
ing of the Delaware County Grange
a letter pledging support to Presi-
dent Wilson was drafted and sent to
him. The letted contained a request
for national prohibition as a conser-
walton measure, and one paragraph
read thus:
owe are for more beef, beans,
bread and butter and less beer,
booze and buns.
More wheat, wealth and wisdom
and less whiskey, waste and want.
More milk, molasses and money
and less malt, misery and meanness.
More apples, alfalfa and amity,
less ale, ailments and luminosity.
More rice, rye and reason, less
saloons, sin and suffering.
More dress, dainties and dishes,
less distilleries, drunkards and dis
turbances.
More beets, barns and business,
less breweries, brawls and burials.
More sheep, swine and sugar, less

CLIP N PIN
ON WIFE'S DRESSER
Cincinnati man tells how to shrivel
up corns or caIluses SO they
lift off with fingers.

Ouch !?!?!! This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that a few drops
of a drug called freezone when applied
to a tender. aching corn or hardened
callus stops at once. and soon
the corr or callus dries up and lifts
right off without pain.
He says freezone dries immediately
and never infiames or even irritates the
surrounding skin. A small bottle of
~freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions of American wo-
men will welcome this announcement
since the Inauguration Of the high
heels. If your druggist doesn't have
~freezone tell him to order a small bot
tie for you. 2

PLANTING OF FALL IRISH
POTATOES NOW UNDER WAY

The present prices of Irish pota-
toes is creating a great deal of inter-
est in the production of a fall crop.
The early varieties, Early Triumph
and Irish Cobbler, may be used for
this late crop, but a late variety, such
as the Lookout Mountain, as a rule,
is considerably better. The scarcity
of seed of the Lookout Mountain,
and the extremely high price asked
for it., however, makes it impractic-
able to use it except in a very limit
ed way this season. Probably the
best solution of the problem is to
use the small potatoes from the early
crop. In a good many places these
r being sold as thirds" at about
seventy-five cents a bushel. From
ten to fifteen bushels will be re-
quired to plant an acre.
Sort the small potatoes out as soon
as they are dry and spread them
rather thin in a cool, dry place.
About two weeks before they are to
be planted these should be started
through a sprouting process. This
consists of first spreading them out,
one or two deep on the ground in the
shade of a tree or under a shed and
just covering them with sand or a
sandy soil, which must be kept damp
but not soaked" until planting
time. Some straw or old sacks may
be spread on top to help retain the
moisture.
The planting season for late pota-
toes in North Mississippi begins
about June 20, and ends about Aug
ust 1st. From jackson south the
planting can be started August first
and continued until August IS.
1t is important that the soil for the
late crop be plowed five to even in
ches deep just as soon as possible;
then harrow down until all clods have
been mashed. After this it
should be stirred by a spike tooth or
a disk harrow, about once in ten
days so as to keep it in condition to
hold all moisture. The same ground
that produced the early crop may be
used for the late crop, but this should
not be done If it can possibly be
avoided.
Plant at least six inches deep. A
GEORGIA stock opens a good furrOW
in which to plant. The potatoes may
be treated much as for the spring
crop. It is not desirable to cut
those under three-quarters Of al
inch in diameter. In any case cut
the tubers so as to get at least one
eye from the bud end on each piece.
Place the pieces about eight inches
apart in the furrow and cover.
Press the soil down firmly W
the seed either by stepping on the
row or by the use of a roller; then
drag the spike tooth harrow over the
patch so as to leave the top loose.
The cultivation should he fire.
quent, the main object of it being
to keep the surface mellow and loose.
