Children Returned to Mother

Mrs. Jim Murphy, sister of
Frank Walker has been on the
sick list and for some time and
not long ago lost her sight and
is now in a critical condition ac-
cording to report. She and her
husband had entrusted the care
of their three children to Mrs.
Elmer Lacy, a sister of Jim
Murphy who lives in the same
neighborhood near Indian Grove.
Mrs. Murphy desired to see
her children and talk with them
before death everlastingly pre-
vented and sent for them to be
brot over to her home. Mrs.
Lacy refused to let the children
go and a warrant habeas corpus
was sworn out before Judge
Montgomery and Sheriff Hurt
went Saturday and secured the
children and took them to their
mother.
Whether the retention of the
children by their parents will
be contested by the Lacys is not
known nor did we learn of the
exact reason for the refusal to
let them visit their mother.
Considerable indignation was
felt by relatives of the Murphys'
and swift action was taken to
bring about desired results.

THE EUROPEAN WAR.
Airplanes at France and England
Germans Get Wheat Supply
Americans Victorious

Airplane activity over France
and England is at its height and
many casualties result nearly
every day. Many German planes
are brot down but does not seem
to intimidate. The Germans
have come into an immense lot
of wheat and passage way to
the far east by the surrender of
another part of Russia.
Desultory fighting still on in
Russia but generally conceded
that it amounts to nothing so
far as disturbing the progress of
Germans.
In nearly all skirmishes and
assaults on trenches our soldiers
come off best and make numbers
of captures with little loss.
U boats have not been in evil
dence to any great extent for
two weeks.
That the Germans are making
final preparation for a general
assault on allied lines is the
opinion of war authorities.
Secretary Baker is in France

Insects in Potato Crop

Insects in Potato Crop
l believe the Charlton County
potato crop was cut in two in
the middle last year by insect
pests.
Two usually serious ones are
the Colorado beetle and the
Blister beetle that attack the
leaves. These can be usually
held in check with a spray of
Paris Green or Arsenate of Lead.
The pests that gave the most
trouble last year, however, were
Plant Lice and Leaf Hoppers.
The one is a dull green louise,
rather round in form and slow
of motion, the other a pale
green, rather long and very
quick in its movements.
The contact sprays such as
tobacco tea and Bordeaux Mix
ture are the only ones that
would be effective in combating
this test.

Our New Barber Shop

Ii each ana everyone OF Us
who are in business would take
the same pride in so equipping
his place of business and beau
tifying it as has Edgar Wilks
his new room for barbershop,
watch repair shop, laundry
agency, pool room and merchant
tailor parlors, while we would
not have so many business hous-
es as our highly esteemed neigh
Dor cities, neither of them could
boast of a more beautiful, better
arranged or expensive quarters.
Mr.. Wilks has so transformed
the interior of the building for
merly the house of Thrash Bros.
Drug Store, even then a beauti-
full store, that the first glance
about him as he enters will i'm
pei one to believe he has been
volplaned to Chicago or New
York and was standing at the
entrance to the interior of one
of the famed buildings of the
city. At the right is a magni-
ficient and lengthy antique oak
case with a continuous Cheval
mirror 9 feet high. Surmount-
ing this is a semicircular frame
of the same oak filled with small
beveled plate glass mirrors, 135
in number. Thru this canopy
like top drops 4 large electric
bulbs and the effect is magical
when one stands under it. Three
modern barber chairs are rang
ed in front and back of the Sec
ond is a large double basin lava
tory of heavily white enameled
ware, the basins supplying hot
and cold water for the BARRIERS.
Back of these and in the south
west corner of the spacious room
will be the watch and clock re-
pairing section, closed by q
large. cigar case to the left,
against the west wall next ad'
joining a large wall case fol
cigarettes and tobacco sundries,
and enclosing the north side OF
the jewelry room will be the
! double folding desk, one of the
most unique and magnificent
pieces of furniture in the state.
A partition across the room di.
vides these things above describ.
ed and the pool room in which
there will be three billiard tables
and more added if required. The
billiard room is a beauty, brill
iantly electrically lighted and
furnished with comfortable
chairs, setees and lawn benches,
and the walls decorted with
beautiful scenes. This room is
also supplied with a marble lava
tory and large glass mirror anC
other conveniences. One of the
rooms at the rear of the billarC
room will be used for Mr.. Wilks
Merchant tailor quarters and the
other for his cleaning and press
ing and laundry agency.
No matter whether you wan
a shave, hair cut, watch. clock
or jewelry repaired. or if you dC
not care for billiards. or not in
need of a new suit nor deem the
old one worth cleaning, it will
interest you to go thru this es'

self of this opportunity. 1t is
my only logical way to render
you the best service.
Potato Crop
The potato crop being one of
Our staple crops more attention
should be given it than is ordi-
narily done. 1t is a very easy
matter to treat potatoes f>r scab
by immersing them for an hour or
two in a solution at the rate of
one pound of formalin to 40 gal
Ions of water. Potatoes afflicted
with this disease cannot grow so
thrifty as they otherwise might
do. The treatment is very cheap
and simple as five gallons of the
solution will treat several BUSH
els and this mixture should cost
not to exceed fifteen cents.
The potato crop will be scabby
if scabby seed is planted, also if
clean seed be planted in ground
that grew scabby potatoes last
year. Rich sweet soil that
works well is the best potato
ground. yet this is the sort of
soil in which scab will work the
worst. Fresh barnyard manure
applied to potato land viii cause
the scab to be worse in the event
the disease is present.
l might say that after the
potatoes have been treated and
are entirely dried off the poison
has entirely disappeared and
they will be safe for table use.
In cutting potatoes for seed
there are great many theories.
some good and others not.
Strong vigorous plants will not
grow from potato peelings. Too
many eyes left on a piece is not
desirable. From one to two
should be enough. Strong plants
usually grow from a piece of po-
tato where the eye is left near
the edge or margin of the piece
of seed, drawing the knife to-
ward the stem and avoiding
close cutting as much as possible
is to be desired. The immediate
blossom end should usually be
discarded.
The soil best adopted is a rich,
easily workable, warm soil. The
heavy black lands can be made
good potato land by applying
wood ashes. Unbleached wood
ashes make as good a potato fer
tilizer for the average soil as it
is possible to secure. This pro.
duct is rich in lime and potash,
the two elements that heavy
soils need for potato es. 1t is
best perhaps to scatter the ashes
over the land and plow them
under in the event of a big sup
ply, but it is usually preferred
to furrow out the land sprinkling
ashes along the furrow to the
extent of about a three pound
tomato can of ashes to the rod.
After this is done plow or hoe
should be run through the fur
row, mixing the ashes more or
less with the soil when the po-
tatoes may be dropped and COW
cred.
The seed bed for potatoes
should be plowed in the fall as
deep as it is possible to plow.
It. would then make it all the
batter if the ground were again
plowed this spring, keeping in
mind that the potato seed bed,
