ance of Potato Week. when citizens
are asked to use potatoes instead of

In addition to saving wheat. tie
Potato Week will make certain an
adequate crop of potatoes for next
winter. The recent severe winter.
which set in early in December. pre-
vented farmers from hauling their
POTATOES to market. The result is
that many of them have large socks

the movement. Notify your grocer
that you will take part in Potato
Week, so he may know how many
potatoes to contract for through the
Dauphln County Farm Bureau.

.ITALIAN COUNTESS ! TO STUDY. WOMEN
 ACTIVITIES HERE
Maria Loschi of Rome Plans Extensive Tour of the
 United States.


 Washington, Nov. 22 - To study American women and their wartime activities, Countess Maria Loschi, of Rome, is guest of the government of the United States. Child welfare, women's war work, woman suffrage, vocational schools and social legisla- ton are among the subjects the countess will investigate on her trip to various cities of this country,
 "The spirit of Italian women in the war has been so splendid that they will probably win from it more civil and property rights than they have ever had before" said Countess Loschi this afternoon. Next month a woman suffrage convention will be held in one of our large cities, and there is great hope that 1t may win the first steps toward full voting rights-the right to vote in municipal affairs, "The war has accomplished great things for the women of my country. | Before the war there was a great pre- judice against women in industry. More than 100000 women in Italy are how in industry "Our government loans for the war { have been factor in establishing one
 right for women, Before the war , women could not draw money from i the bank without the authorization of l their husbands. When the fourth loan f came out there was an announcement [ that wives need not get the authoriza- ] ton of their husbands to draw money { for the loan, Many of them said: i '"rhe government says we do not need ] authorization of our husbands when it wants our money. We will demand
 the same right after the war when
 we want our moneyr"
 Countess Loschi will be In New | York City about Dec. 20,
 ; For several years the Countess has been a newspaper and magazine writer
 in Italy. For time she was nurse
 at the front She has degree from the University of Bologna in lam
 guages.
 , During her trip through the United States the countess will be accom-
 panied by Mrs. Max Mayer, represent ing the Committee on Public Infor-
 mation.

Palmer Warns CustodianS Here of Liability to LaW-No Re-
 taxation Because of Sign I ina of ArIniStice.

/ Al, Mitchell Palmer Allen Property Custodian, has issued a statement warning persons interested In German and Austrian holdings in this country that there has been no relaxation in his duties since the signing of the armistice and that any failure on their part to report enemy property now might render them liable to prosecu- tion-
 MT. Palmer said that, despite the fact that the time for filing reports i of enemy owned property had long expired, reports still were coming to lils office and that there is much property in the country still unre- ported
 ''Attentlon Is called tD this fact" he said, because persons having the custody of enemy property are mak- ing themselves liable to prosecution for failure to report it, and this liabil- ity will continue after the treaty of peace shall have been made.
 The signing of the armistice does ] not change the functions nor affect i the policies of the Allen Property | Custodian in any way. The United 4 States and Germany are still at war, and the Trading With the Enemy Act is still in force The Alien Property Custodian will continue to perform his duties which that act lays upon him"
 i MT. Palmer said that apparently considerable misunderstanding had arisen as to his policy with respect to the sales of enemy property, and that it should be known that only two classes of property will be sold, de- fined as follows:
 The enemy property in partner
 ships, branches or agencies to which licenses to do business have been re- fused, or to which licenses have been
 granted for the purposes of liquida-
 ton. In these cases, in crder to I- quidate, we have been compelled to
 sell property of various kinds. The enemy owned shares of stock
 or other interests in American cor
 porations where the enemy holding is
 large enough to influence or control
 the management of American indus
 trial and commercial concerns. A
 large number of such properties were
 ready to be sold by the Alien Prop-
 erty Custodian, and these sales will be
 proceeded with
 - The statement of the custodian
 added that investments of individqla1
 German subjects, either in stocks
 bonds, mortgages, real estate or other
 property, would not be sold unless
 they fell in one of the above classes.
