permanent.
 Much interest has been taken in this proposal by farmers along the line of the government road. The Fairbanks Commercial Club has taken the matter up with farmers of the Panama valley and is urging them to use the best seed spuds obtainable for their spring planting in order to secure a select crop from which to ill any orders the Northern Pacific may place next fall.
 The land and industrial department. of the Alaskan Engineering commits sion has also called the attention of the farmers of Alaska to the willing ness of the railroad to make a special feature of the Alaska potato on the menus of the dining car service. It is stated that with the wide public ity provided there should be no diffi- culty in supplying the demands that may arise for potatoes of suitable grade.
 Owing to the lack of transporta- tion, or the high cost of it, the gar- den patches of Seward peninsula will doubtless be unable to compete with the coast sections of Alaska in pro- viding the Northern Pacific dining ears with mealy murphies but some of our most enterprising growers to demonstrate the quality of the peniasula's farm products.

LEAVES NO TRACE

Days Ago aud Vanished

Sam Caro- one Of the most promi-
nent Italian business men in South

unanimous in their statements that
they have not heard word from Mr..
Caro- since he left ostensibly for New
Orleans about ten days ago.
There are fears expressed in some
quarters that Mr.. Caro- has met with
an accident OF some kind which has
prevented him from returning to Nor
gan City In any event he has disap-
peared completely as though he has
been swallowed up, leaving no trace
whatever.
Mr.. Caro- had Just recently expand
ed his business by the opening OF the
Social Saloon on the first Of the mouth
and his various enterprises seemed to
be in n satisfactory condition. His
home life would seem to offer no ex
cuse for his disappearance as the
neighbors are united in declaring
that Mrs Caro- was one of the best
neighbors possible and that she was
an ideal mother of three bright chill
dren.
Mr.. T. Caro- Of Jeanerette, La,
brother of the missing man spent
Wednesday in Morgan City investl-
eating the business conditions of the

that he is a prosperous business man
and will take care of the local busi-
ness interest pending some definite
news from the missing man.

BEAT FRENCH AND
 BRITISH AT BOMB THROWING

When bomb and grenade throwing began at Camp Pike under the super vision of the French officers. the vet erans of Verdun, the Marne and other conflicts stood out in front and showed how it was done. Today they handle the score cards and one does the calling from the chart that is drawn off on the ground some yards away, and resembles the old hop scotch game of youth, and upon which the we'll directed bomb falls. This Frenchman will tell the number of points to be scored, and toss the bombs back but he will not go through the motion of throwing them trench fashion. He tossed them back under handed. using the motion of the base ball pitcher of the sixties.
 The reason for this is that the American has bestcd both French and English at his own game. He can drop the bombs to 90 yards away, and place them accurately. One after an- other come to the mark and make clean scores. and when it comes to the control-well, there will be no bases on balls in the bomb throwers league when Americas get on the firing line.
 To develop control the French off, cers stretched poultry netting be- tween two high poles, and fifteen feet from the ground a frame, two by three feet was placed in the netting. The Camp Pike bombers stood off twenty yards and tossed the bombs through this hole so easily that the practice was abandoned as useless.
 The Camp Pike bombers have had something more exciting than the blank bombs to deal with, homemade grenades of heavy paper, and filled with nails have been prepared, and a blackberry patch near trench was the hiding place of the Hun. Some one erred in this conjecture, however, for after an afternoon of practice, during which there was considerable lodging of flying nails, badly lacer- ated rahhit was pulled from the berry vines by an investigating party.

EVERY AMERICAN ASKED
 TO EAT LESS SUGAR DAILY

The end of the summer saw Cador- ma men on the point of making the long-hoped for break in the Teutonic lines. But Italy ran short of wheat. In September the all-important bread ration of the Italian soldier had to be cut from 750 to 600 grams daily. The next month the Germans attacked, and the Italian line crumbled.
 The United States Food Admins tration, designed to prevent just such contingencies as the cutting of the Italian ration.
 The work of the Food Administra- tion, which is so ably represented by Hamp Williams in Arkansas, is two jobs rather than one. The first task is to see that food is the more con- |centrated forms is saved from un- necessary consumption here in order that it may be shipped to France.
 As part of this task, Mir. Hoover asks every American to eat one ounce less sugar than he usually eats daily. Those who observe this request will still eat three-fourths their normal amount, while the English are getting only a little over one-fourth as much sugar as they used to eat.
 American confectioners are putting 100000 tons of sugar a year into candy. That amount would all but supply the entire English demand at the present rate of consumption. Re- cently the administration cut the .candy makers down to 100000 tons a year. The money value of sugar so saved is enough to feed all Belgium for one year.
 Food control is saving money for the American household week by week and it is estimated that the total sav- ing in flour alone is $6S 100000.
 The worlds food situation is bad, but in four months the Food Admins tration has got it pretty well under control

He will have an ample supply of income tax forms, rendering it unnecessary for taxpay- CTS who shall call upon him to ask for forms from this office, or for you to ask for them in advance of his ar rival. Inasmuch as his stay at Pres colt will be limited to the dates speci- fled and will not be returned to your county Cor city) again, it is of the utmost importance that all prospec- tive taxpayers take advantage of his presence there by calling upon him on one of the dates suggested, the earlier the date the better.
