A lovely entertainment was given by
the pupils of Five Mil, entitled The

was appreciated would be putting it
mildly, for every mothers heart swelled
with pride as her own little son or
daughter went through his or her part.
A nice little lecture was given by
Chester Eaker on the solar System"
illustrated by globes. 1t was both in

WHERE WAS HE?

There was correspondent, Of The
Associated Press aboard one of the
ships Of war acting as convoy for our
troop transports in their recent voyage
across the Atlantic. Upon his arrival
in the European port Of destination
this correspondent sent cable dispatch
reporting that they had had "a smooth
sea and an uneventful voyage. "
Yet the Fourth Of July announce
ment prepared by Mr.. GEORGE

DANIELS informed the American
people that our transports were twice
attacked by German submarines on
the way across; the first attack was
made in force; our high seas convoy
circling with their searchlighs an
swered with heavy gunhre, and its
accuracy stands proved by the fact
that the torpedo discharge became
increasingly scattered and inaccurate;

Fall or Second Crop Of Irish
Potaie<s

JUST at presen, there IS quit. bit
OF ln,eres, IN second crop OF IRISH
potatoes as TO whether or not 20 use
Seed from the hrs, crop and Il 10 how
TO handle these potatoes. The follow
ing suggestions may be Of help in
this case.
la. Potatoes may be planted on
any soil tina, will make other crops.
End. The soil should be thorough
ly prepared before planting the ,ubers,
they should not be planted as deep as
the first crop would be planted.
3rd. When properly handled the
home grown seed from the hrr crop
will give about as good results as the
old crop seed. The potatoes should be
dug as soon as they are fully ma,ured
and stored in dark, cool, fairly dry
place, say under the house and cover
ed with straw OF a sack. They should
be left there for about a week then
put in light warmer place to sprout,
however they should not be pu, where
the sun will shine directly on them.
In caring for the potatoes i, has been
found best to turn them at frequent
intervals, care being taken not to rub
of any Of the sprouts when they get
started.
Attn. 1t is best no, to try to get a
second crop Of potatoes from the
smallest tuben as they have not got
strength to make healthy plant. The
seed should not be cut and lief, stand
ing in pile for very long time as
they will heat very quickly in hot
weather and heating soon destroys
the vitality.
5th. Amy Of the standard early
varieties may be planted for the sec
ond crop, the Irish Cobbler, Red Bliss,
Green Mountain, Mccormick or
Lookout Mountain are all good, with
the FIRST two as the favonties.
9th. The second crop may be
planted any time from the first Of
July to the middle Of August, it is not
advisable to plant much later than
this for an early frost will kill the crop.
7th. For the best results the sec
ond crop should receive about the same
fertilizer and care IS the first. Say
about 800 to 1000 pounds Of high |
zrade fertilizer, a mixture Of equal
paris Of cotton seed meal and acid
phosphate gives good results.

PLAN ECONOMIES
ON DINING CARS
Executive Officers of Rail
roads Consider Sugges-
tons From Hoover
(By Associated Press.)

Chicago, July 17.-Plans for the
conservation of food, coal and man
power during the war, through
economies on dining cars and
through the reduction of passenger
train service were discussed at a
meeting here of the executive officers
of the operating and passenger de-
partments of all the railroads of the
fifteen states in the central war de-
partment, including Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia,
Michigan, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska,
North Dakota, South Dakota and
Colorado.
Herbert C. Hoover. federal food
administrator, has submitted a num-
Der OF recommendations for food
conservation on dining cars, such as
disseminating serving all young
meats like veal. lamb and spring
chicken, and serving only two slices
of bread and one pat OF butter, with
extra charge for a full portion If
more bread or butter is demanded.
The railway managers have practic-.
ally agreed to ratify any plans
adopted at a conference agreed be-
tween their dining car superinten-
dents and Mr.. Hoover.
The seriousness Of the coal sit
uation makes imperative the utmost
conservation of coal by American
railroads and they will adopt a gem
eraI plan as soon as possible for do
ing this through reduction Of pas
senger train service. Western lines
have encountered many difficulties
in reducing passenger. train service
without imposing hardship on the
public.

mrs. MOONEY
TELLS Her STORY
Swears She Was a Mile
Away From the Scene of
Fatal Explosion
(By Associated Press.)


San Francisco, July 17.-Before a
crowded court room Mrs. Rena
Mooney, whose trial on a murder
charge grew out of the preparedness
parade bomb explosion here last July,
told the jury a detailed story OF her
movements on the day of the blast in
an effort TO esta bIish an alibi.
That she was in her apartment or
on the roof of the building in which
she lived, before and after the explo-
sion, and that she had not visited the
scene OF the explosion at any time
during the day. were two Of the out
standing statements made by Mrs.
Mooney. t
She detailed her movements from
the time she said she took breakfast
early in the morning until she said
she saw the parade eIii late in the
afternoon. Her testimony corroborat-
ed essentially the testimony of her
sister, Mrs. Belle Hammerberg, and
her cousin, Mrs. Martha Timberlake,
who said recently they were with
Mrs. Mooney from / p. m. until late
in the afternoon. The explosion oc-
Cured more than a mile from Mrs.
Moneys apartment at q 06 p. m.
The state commended that at the
time Mrs. Mooney said che went on
the roof. she and other defendants in
the bomb cases, were preparing to go
TO the scene Of the explosion, where
1t Is alleged that Warren K. Billings,
under sentence Of life imprisonment
for one OF the bomb murders, depos-
tied a suitcase containing the bomb.
At the opening OF the trial yester-
day, Superior Judge Emmett Seaweli
dismissed Juror ]. T. Wa1by, whose
place was filled by the thirteenth
juror. w S. Dean. Welby separated
himself from the other jurors last
Saturday while they were examining
various street scenes connected with
the bomb explosion
