NEW YORK TO HONOR "EVANGELINE" RIVE

New York, Sept. 27.-EdwardE. Rice, father of the extravaganza fdm of entertainment and one of the mt widely known men in the theatridl profession in America, is to be tA recipient of testimonial performandl in this city few weeks hence whicA is expected to be one of the biggest affairs of it's kind ever pulled off in the metropolis, and will be if it is in keeping with MT. Rice's popularity and acquaintanceship. The perform. ance is to be given in celebration o1 MT. Rice's 10th year of theatrical ac- tivity. Raymond Hitchcock is in charge
 of the preliminary arrangements anc
 has offered his new Forty-fourtl
 Street theatre for the performance.
 Edward E. Rice is one of the few surviving theatrical managers ane producers of the old school, whose careers invariably were marked b!
 many ups and downs. At some pc
 riods of his career his fortune ha'
 been we'll up in six figures. At othe times he has been flat broke. Hi financial principles have always beer of the simplest. When he had sue
 cess on the stage he made money when he had failure he lost it, if h. had it to lose; when he had none, anybody who came first could get il 3 creditor or borrower, the latter pre- l ferred; when he did not have it nc
 hody could get it; how could anybody l Even a chorus girl could see the i'm f mutability of that condition.
 a Mir. Rice is natural musician, jus .- as he is natural financier. He vii }. sit at the piano and compose musi e by the hour, playing it as he zoe n along. The most of the airs that h ]. has composed in this way are, o !. course, never heard again, but if h [ happens to be particularly please v with the sound of one he will play i 7 again before he forgets it, write i :. down and keep it, and some time, whe , he is putting the music to ne, 2 burlesque, it will be handy.
 n MT. Rice's first great success, a e everybody knows, was "Evangeline. n He has often told his friends that h
 compared over eight hundred melodie 8 for that piece, and from that mas y the ones finally used were selected h It is not likely that anybody so prod V gal of airs as that would be small i | money matters.

SWEET POTATO STORAGE.

Proper storage of sweet potatoes IS absolutely essential to obtain the best results. says todays bulletin Of the national emergency food garden com mission, cooperating with this news paper to help the city farmer con serve the produce of his garden.
 In filling the storage house begin at the back end of the bin and pour a layer of sweet potatoes about two feet deep in all of the bins, rather than fill one bin at time. IT tne bins are eight or ten feet long, IL IS good plan to divide them into two parts. The partition boards should have some space between them to allow free circulation of air. one inch block between the boards will be satisfactory to separate them. By dividing the bins in this way the back of the bin can be filled without walking over the potatoes in the front part When taking the pota- . toes out. those in one section Of a . bin can be removed without disturb ing the remainder.
 While the potatoes are being
 brought in, fire should be kept up ,l in the storage house to dry off the <. moisture. A temperature of 80 de-
 grees F., with plenty of ventilation be maintained for ten days or oa two weeks, depending on weather
 dpnditions and the variety of .pota- ndgAes.

FLIES WORRY BRITISH IN FAR-OFF PALESTINE

With British Forces in Palestine, Aug. 26.-Correspondence of the As sociated Press.)-The various stages of the British campaign which mas now brought them into Palestine are marked by the stations on the won derful new railway across the Sinai desert. Just the names of these sta tions tell how the Turks have been driven buck step by step-Romani. Katia, Ell Arish and Rafe, marking the successive phases of their retirement.
 The country in which the army now is operating is on the fringe of tie desert which divides Egypt from the center of Palestine. So far as array observation goes, it does not flow with either milk or honey; if it would only flow with water, the army would ask no more of it.
 It has been battlefield from time immemorial, a Flanders of the east. Modern Gaza is said not to be on the same site as the ancient city. with whose gates Sampson made so free. It looks a pleasant enough town, but IS very unhealthy spot in which tc live

POTASH INDUSTRY BOOMING
Production In 1916 Valued at About
$500, 600.

Washington, Feb. IA remarkable
expansion in the American potash in
dustry has resulted from efforts to
make the United States independent
of foreign sources for the potash
used in munitions and for other pur-
poses.
Although the boom did not get un-
der way until late in 1916 production
during the calendar year reached a
value of ten times as great as that OF
1915.
The 1916 production is estimated in
a preliminary report published by the
geological survey at 10000 tons. with
a value of 81. 800, 900. In 1917, the re-
port says, with the boom in full swing.

FOOD SCARCITY DUE
TO LABOR SHORTAGE

New York. Feb. PA national
board of food control, with power to
regulate farm labor conditions and
distribution of products by the rail
roads. was urged here by Joseph Harti-
gan, commissioner of the city's bu-
reau of weights and measures, as a
means of relieving the present situa-
tion and reducing prices.
The commissioner said he did not
believe an embargo on foodstuffs to
foreign countries, or a commission
invested with power TO fix prices,
would solve the problem.
The underlying causes of the
threatened food famine. Commission
err Hartigan declared. were the short
age OF farm labor and the increased
cost of farming implements and other
articles necessary for production.
With respect to the situation in this
city. where rioting was resumed by
housewives in the more c~ongested
tenement districts, Commissioner Har-
tigan said financial action by a small
group of public spirited citizens
speedily could bring relief.
