It does not follow that If Japan
puts a ban on gold imports she
will stop taking the metal from this
country. She has heavy balance
to settle in India, and, ss has been
said. India takes payment only in
hard money. Therefore, we may
expect TO see further shipments of
gold from the United States for
Japanese account, though the ulti-
mate destination will not be Japan.

The great idea Of conservation Of the

his installed canning factory at lis Ocoee
Farm and will render all the assistance in
its power along this line.
To those who wish to do their own can
ming, the company will furnish cans at
actual cost.
To those who have surplus of fruits or
vegetables suitable for the purpose. the
company will pay fair pr ice, for their
products. After it is canned the company
will sell it back to the producer, if wanted,
at the bare cost of canning.
Not in the whole state of Tennessee has
a more liberal offer been made to the pub

living is becoming unbearable, it is fortu-
nate that we have great corporation

THE POTATO SITUATION.

Shipment of early potatoes from South
ern states thus far have been twice as
heavy as wear ago'at this time and are
increasing rapidly Tennessee potatoes are
just being dug and of course the early crop
from Northern states is still in the ground.
Shipments from the earliest Potatoe. sec
tons indicate the largest crop for years,
altho the price remained firm. The supply
of winter potatoes held over from last fall
was considerably below normal and the sup
ply of early potatoes as yet has been mad
equate to meet the demand
When the crop comes on from the heavier
early potato producing states. however,
there will be many more potat6as than will
be needed for immediate use. This is Ordin-
arilv the case in a normal year and will be
the case this yeer due to increased produc-
ton, tho the demand is heavier, unless the
surplus is taken by foreign export.
The price paid for early potatoes is norm
ally lowest at digging time, due to theffom-
mon practice of all growers hauling pota-
toes from field to market at about the same
time.
1t is common idea among potatoe
growers in Tennessee that it is imPracti-
cable to keep early potatoes from harvest
time throughout the summer omonths.
this is an error. The war has changed
many ideas to meet emergencies, and it
must change this one. Transportation ia
cilities between the South and North will
be uncertain and producers shoSld arrange
for storage where they never thought of
storage before.
TO store these potatoes successfully they
for winter they should be fully matured
and placed in dark, well ventilated
and dry place, and protected from freezing,

THE PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE.

Strenuous efforts of President Wilson to
increase his personal authority as matter
of emergency" would receive greater con-
sideration if he had not devoted the four
years of his first term to similar efforts,
when there could be no pretense of an
emergency.
During his entire career i'll his presi-
dencv, President Wilson has sought to inn
pose his will upon congress, and has sue
ceeded so well that members of congress
have protested in their places against be-
ing reduced to the function Of rubber
stamp"
And the result is that when the presi-
dent asks congress to do what in Mexico
and elsewhere is called 'suspending the
constitution" by giving him plenary power
over the utterances of the press, congress
refuses to give it because it does not be-
lieve the president safe man tie entrust
with such power. And congress evidently
feels that way in regard to embargoes.
The president is very imperious man.
He is so sure that he is always right that
he would ignore the imposing opinion of
the whole world if he had the power to
enforce his will
There is and has been no secret of any,
thing connected with the war, except the
actual sailings and destination of ships.
Nothing else has taken place, or is contem-
plated, of importance, which is not known
to friends and enemies alike, nor is there
information except. certain details whose
publication and discussion could not help
or iljure anyone.
The American press recognizes that there
may be a few journals controlled by enemy
influences which would, if not restrained,
publish information which might help the
enemy and it heartily welcomed legislation
which would restrain or penalize such pub
LEGATION, provided it was described in gen.
eral terms in the law There has been
universal protest against any law which
would empower the President to suppress
discussion to which he might object. We
are far from the fields of battle and there
is very little harm which the American
press could do, even if it we're reckless,
which it is not, but, on the contrary, loyal.
There is no reason now, even If there
ever could be reason, for ,muzzling the
American press, nor could any political
party or official safely attempt it. And it
will not be tried, nor will the President be
made dctator.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Denv Hcrzog Deal.

Though the New York club stoutly
denies knowledge of any deal 1nVolv-
ing HerzoE, there is no denying the
fact that Herzog and McGraw are not
very fond of each other. Relations
are strained not only between McGraW
and Herzog, but between Herzog and
the club as we'll.
Herzog is a splendid player, fight
err on the fold and splendid fellow
off the field. lie is not rowdy. is
always fighting for his club, yet
Herzog is q poor harmonizer. Charley
seems to be able to be with q club for
lust so long before he falls out with
his associates.
Herzog came to the Giants in 1908,
and in 1909 he had his first serious
argument with McGraw. He was or
dered to play an exhibition game, but
claimed he had sore hands and went
to his farm in Maryland instead OF
reporting for the exhibition game.
The following winter he was traded
to Boston. In 1911 he had series
of arguments with former President
Russell OF the Braves and finally
walked out on the club. He was I'M
der an indefinite suspension when Nc
Graw got him back in a trade for
Bridwell and Gowdy
Herzog and McGraw got along
pretty we'll for spell, but relations
again became very strained in 1913,
when McGraw benched Herzog and
nlaced Shafer on third. Herzog was
traded to Cincinnati, where he man
aged the team for two and half sea-
sons
Back with the Giants Herzog got
along with McGraw until the latter
part of last season. when he left the
team without permission because of
n physical ailment.
