Ehrhardt Etchings.

Ehrhardt, Jan. yesterday,
Monday, was the first day of the new
year, first day of the month, and the
first day of the week. Truly, it must
have been the first. Last week was
a busy one with the merchants and
banks, not many sales, but winding
I'D the old years business, taking
stock, and counting up their profits
and losses. They are highly pleased
with the business transacted during
the old year. The F. & NJ. bank paid
to it's stockholders dividend of 20
per cent. A meeting was called last
week and the same officers were re-
elected for this year. The Ehrhardt
Banking company did equally as we'll
and will pay it's stockholders as
usual, a 10 per cent. dividend; bal
ance will be added to the surplus
fund.
Previous years the bulletin
boards, telephone poles, etc., were
tackled full of notices, announcing
the closing of mortgages, liens, etc.,
so that a settlement could be had
between the contracting parties; but
this last fall they have had no such
news to tell. This shows that our
people will pay up their accounts
when they have anything to pay with.

Quit Colleges for Munition Shops

To help toward meeting the ever
increasing demand for munitions of
war numerous groups of young stu
dents belonging to more than 200
Italian State universities have sig
nified their willingness to quit the
lecture halls for the workshops. In
encouragement of this movement the
Italian government has decided to
grant exceptional concessions in the
matter of studies, examinations and
degrees, so that their patriotism may
not prove a handicap to the volun-
teers in their future professional. ca

COLUMBIA GETSLOAN BANK
AMONG TWELVE CITIES SELECT
ED AS BANKING CENTRES.
The Carolinas, Georgia and Florida
the States to Be Served by Bank
in Columbia.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Twelve
cities in which are to be located the
federal farm loan banks were an
nounced today by the farm loan
boards, and it is expected that with
in sixty days the new system will
be in operation, ready to make the
loans for which applications already
are pouring in from every section Of
the country. 4
The banks will be set up in Spring
field, Mass; Baltimore, Md; Colum-
bia, S. c.; New Orleans, La; Hous-
ton, Texas; St. Louis, Mo-; Louisville,
KY; St. Paul, Mimi; Omaha, Neb.;
Wichita, Kas.; Spokane, WASH, and
Berkeley, Cal.
Stock subscription books of the
banks will be opened within the next
ten days, probably about January 2,
to remain open for thirty days. 1t is
expected, however, that the govern
ment will have to supply most of the
$9,000,OOO capital, under that sec,
ton Of the law which empowers the
secretary of the treasury to make up
the unsubscribed stock.
Temporary Directors.
Temporary directors, five to each
bank, will be appointed, probably
within the next three weeks, by the
board. AS soon as the banks have
been organized and borrowers have
subscribed to 100000 of the stock
of each bank, the temporary direc-
tors will surrender their authority to
boards of nine directors eacn, six of
whom will be chosen by the farmer
borrowers and three by the farm
loan board. The permanent directors
will serve three years and receive
per diem compensation, as in the case
of federal reserve bank directors.
:. Each borrower must subscribe to
stock in the bank from which he bor-
rows to the extent of 5 per cent. OF
his loan, and the original subscribers,
to the capitaf~stock are required to
surrender their holdings as they may
be needed to meet this situation.
In designating locations for the
banks the board was guided chiefly
by the needs of the rural sections.
This has resulted in placing only two
of the twelve banks in New England
and Middle Atlantic States, the chief
centres of population. Three go to
the South, five to the farming States
of the Middle West and West and
two to the Pacific coast.
The Twelve Districts. .
The twelve districts into which the
country is divided were announced by
the farm loan board today as fol-
lows:
District No. Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New York and
New Jersey.
District No. 2.-Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West
Virginia and the District of Colum-
bia.
District No. 3.-North and South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
District No. 4.-Ohio, Indiana,
Kentucky and Tennessee.
District No. 5.-Alabama, Missis-
sippi and Louisiana.
District No. 6.-Illinois, Missouri
and Arkansas.
District No. 7.-Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota and North Dakota.
District No. S.-Iowa, Nebraska,

How to Grow Irish Potatoes
In Vacant Lots and City Yards
o. J. deLendrecie Co.
Method of Reducing the Cost


Many persons prompted by the high
price of Irish potatoes have written to
the U. S. department of agriculture
asking how to grow them successful
ly in their back yards or in vacant
lots in their neighborhood. Others,
who in the past have raised potatoes
as a profitable way of utilizing idle
land, or as a crop which repays them,
in whole or in part, for the cost and
trouble of keeping down weeds and
giving a more orderly appearance to
their properties, point out that good
seed potatoes are scarce and high in
price, and ask whether there is not
some method of reducing the cost
for their plots or half acres.
The cost Of seeding. the garden
specialists of the department point
out, can be greatly reduced it,. in
stead Of using a whole potato for
planting, the gardener will cut from
potatoes coneshaped pieces of flesh,
each containing an eye of the potato.
In this way only from one fourth to
one fifth Of the flesh of the potato
will be needed to provide seed and the
remainder Of the potato can be cooked
for table use. These cones range from
one fifth to one-seventh Of an ounce
in weight, whereas, under the usual
methods the sets range from three
fourths to two ounces in weight. A
gardener under ordinary conditions,
will get best results by using Is to
is bushels, or 900 to 1850 pounds of
potatoes to the acre. This method of
preparing sets, therefore, should
make available for table use over 675
pounds of potato flesh which under
ordinary conditions would be planted
per acre.
To plant a plot so by 100 feet, or ap-
proximately one-ninth of an acre, at
the same rate of seeding, would call
for / 2-3 to 2 bushels of seed, planted
in the ordinary way. The method of
using the cones and eyes and cooking
the remainder of the flesh, therefore,
becomes a worthwhile economy even
when small area is to be planted.
Under this plan it is not necessary
to prepare the seed all at one time.
From day to day the cones for seeding
can be cut from the potatoes as they
are being prepared for the table. The
cuttings then should be spread out
on a piece of paper in a moderately
cool room (about so deg. F) and al
lowed to remain there until they have
cured, that is. until the cut surface has
