BEDDING SWEET POTATOES

Clemson College, 8. C-The sweet
potato blooms under favorable con.
ditions, but produces no seed. It is
propagated from the tuberous roots
and vine cuttings. Sweet potatoes
may be bedded the latter part of
March or early April, according to
the advancement Of the season or
the latitude. The roots are bedded
on a warm exposure as follows: The
soil should be excavated four feet
wide, four inches deep and Of suffi-
cient length to receive the quantity
to be bedded. This excavation should
be filed with unfermented stable
manure, over which soil should be
spread to a depth of two inches
Place the tubers, pressing each sep
arately, using only perfectly sound
tubers, into the porous soil. Do not
allow them to touch each other,
covering evenly to a depth Of four
inches with porous soil. Mulch the
soil with clean straw to prevent
washing or baking when watered.
When the first plants begin to ap
pear remove the straw and stir the
soil lightly, sufficient to destroy
grass and weeds. The bed should be
watered late in the afternoon.
Sprinkle with a watering pot, going
over twice in order to give time for
the first sprinkiing to absorb.

THE GREATER LOVE.

"Those who have read Charles
Dickens, "a Tale of Two Cities"
or have seen the play founded upon
it, and presented under the title,
"The Only Way" will be interested
to know that a woman sought to es.
say the part Of Sidney Carton, and
60 to the guillotine in place of
Nine. Roland. Earlier in this chap
ter I have referred to the friends
she made in the convent. Among
these was Henrietta Cannet, who
had been the active agent in intro
ducing Nine. Roland to his wife.
Now that the latter was in imminent
peril of death, this devoted friend
came to the prison with the PROPOSE
ton that the twain change clothes;
that Nine. Roland leave the cell and
that Henrietta should remain to suf-
fer the death penalty"

REPORTED GAINS
BY THE BRITISH
Artillery Duels, Trench Raiding and
Airplane Bombing Feature Oper-
ations on Western Fronts.

Except for an advance by the Bri-
tish over front of nearly mile and
three-quarters north of Louveral
which lies about midway between
Bapaume and 'Cambrari, artillery
duels, trench raiding and airplane
bombing operations have featured
the fighting on the western front in
France and Belgium.
There was no infantry action Sun
day on this front, the British having
carried out their attack against the
Germans Saturday night at the same
time Gen. Neville's forces were pene-
trating German positions near Lom-
baertzyde, Belgium, and inflicting
casualties on the defenders.
Berlin reports the repulse with
heavy losses of French attacks Sat-
urday at Laffaux, northeast of Sois-
sons.
British airmen are continuing their
fighting, bomb dropping and scout
ing operations over the German lines
in France and Belgium. A foray 80
miles behind the German front was
one of. the exploits recorded for the
aviators Sunday. Considering the re-
suits they have achieved in fighting,
bombing and observations, the Bri-
tish airmen count the cost in the loss
Of airplanes a small one.
London reports that in naval op-
erations off Zeebrugge, two German
torpedo boat destroyers were torpe-
doed. One of them sank and the
other was at least heavily damaged.
A landing by Russian troops on
the coast of Asia Minor has been es-
tablished grom a torpedo boat in
the Black sea. The operation was
carried out at the mouth of the river
Termeh, 1S0 miles west of Trebi-
zond, and Turkish observation post
was burned. Then Turkish sailing
vessels with valuable cargoes were
captured by the Russians and taken
to Treizond.
The usual artillery duels are in
progress in the Austro-Italian thea
tire. There has been no change in
the situation on the Macedonian
front. British aviators have dropped
bombs on Teutonic allied positions
in the Vardar river valley and at
Chestovo, northwest of Lake Doiran.
