LOVE AFFAIR REAL
BASIS OF ACTIVITY
TWO WOMEN AND TWO MEN
NOT SPIES. MYSTERIOUS CODE
ONLY SECRET LOVE LETTERS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Investiga-
ton has convinced the department of
justice that the two women and two
men claiming French citizenship re-
Gently arrested in New York on sus-
picion of connection with the Ger
man spy ring can only be classed as
undesirable citizens, rather than as
spies. On this conclusion they will
be deported.
Explode Suspicion.
Suspicious that the quartet were a
band of spies were exploded when
government agents found that love
affair between one of the women and
a neutral diplomat in Washington was
the real basis of the activity of the
four which had brought them under
the observation of the department of
justice.
The full disclosure is withheld by
the government out of consideration
for the neutral diplomat and his as
sociates.
1t is now disclosed that what were
thought to be mysterious code letters
found in a safe deposit box of one of
those under arrest were love epistles
couched in gentle terms with hidden
meanings which hard-headed investi-
gators at first failed to recognize.

DEVELOPMENTS IN

THE POLITICAL SITUATION IN

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Unless the

Will be the announcement by. Will

ayers and other information relative
to the real work which is soon to be
undertaken.
AS the matter stands, there is also
talk here again of Governor Dorsey
getting into the fight, despite the
fact that he has said he would not
do so as long as Mr.. Harris is in the
race. The governor was here a few
days ago and discussed the matter
with Mr.. Harris. 1t seems now that
II later on it is found that Mr.. Har-
ris cannot win Governor Dorsey will
pull off his coat and make it '"any-
thing to beat Hardwick."
Congressman William Schley How
ard may also get into it. He has is
sued card in which he says he NAV
yet be in the running in the event
Murphy Gambler is not a candidate.
At this end of the line, Senator
Hardwick is losing no opportunity to
win out. His Georgia organization is
sending him reports which the junior
senator says are most encouraging.
One thing is certain, as seen here,
and that is, though little is said
about it, there is strong Hardwick
anti-war organization organized in
Georgia at the present time. Wheth-
er or not, however, it will cover the
regular administration voters cannot
yet be even forecasted with accuracy.
Whether it is Harris or Dorsey or
some one else who is to Ego to the
mat they should keep their eye on
Hardwick. His organization is grow
ing.

GOT $1,000 OUT
OF One SPUD CROP
GREW 5000 BUSHELS ON THIRTY
ACRES. BRoRowED MONEY
TO BUY THE LAND.

BERMIDJI. Minn.-There's money
in potatoes. A spud patch is more
profitable than the average gold mine
backed by gold and green stock GER
titicates.
George H. Miller, northwestern po-
tato king, says so. He has proven
his statement true.
Few people know more about pota-
toes, potato possibilities and potato
profits than Miller. Last year he
grew thirty acres of potatoes which
yielded 5000 bushels. After putting
aside enough for seed and for his
own use he sold the rest for $1,000.
Pretty well for the crop off less than
one-tenth of the farm, isn't it?
81 always soak the seed potatoes
in formaldehyde for two hours before
cutting them into pieces of planting
size. This kills any disease germs on
them Our potato fields are cultivat-
ed four or five times"
But George Miller wasn't a potato
king sixteen years ago. And he didn't
have one of his $50 acres. He Dor
rowed $3.50 and purchased the relin-
quishment on 100 acres of wild, san
dy land. The three acres cleared of
brush he planted in potatoes yielded
500 bushels.
Since then that 100 acres has paid
for itself several times over. Two
years ago Miller tried it again. He
bought 100 acres of new land for
$1,000. Only twelve acres were clear
ed. These he planted in potatoes, the
crop yielding 1920 bushels. He sold
them for $4,000.
When Miller first began his potato
career he used to sell his crop when
1T left the ground to a potato specu-
lator's agent. Sometimes he did we'll
to get 80 cents bushel. BY the time
his potatoes got to the city mans
table they were over a dollar bush
ell. Miller decided to take that profit
from the storage Spectator by stor-
ing his own potatoes. He dug the
first potato cellar in northern Mime
sofa. Instead of selling to specula-
tors in the fall, at the time when
they were beating down the price to
cheat the producer, he put his po-
tatoes into the cellar and waited.
After his neighbors and other
farmers had sold their potatoes the
spectators began boosting prices.
Potatoes were left to rot in fields, in
storage houses and in cars, if it was
necessary to reduce the supply to in
crease prices.
When this was accomplished the
potato profteers began reaping huge
rewards. Also Miller hauled his crop
out of the cellar, 235 feet long, IS
feet wide and sold at the high market
price.

WIND PICKED CHICKENS CLEAN
AND DID OTHER FREAK THINGS
Million Dollar Blast in Ohio Cleaned
Feathers From Hen and Moved
Huge Bowlders and Stove.

The tornado that swept through
Van Vert county, o., claiming five
lives, injuring several other persons
and doing 100000 worth of dam
age, did its full share Of freak wind
tricks. In a number of places it blew
every feather from whole fiocks of
hens. One hen, without a single
feather, was rescued from the top of
a telephone pole.
The fact that the twister jumped
and that it swept through a thinly
populated district accounted for the
small number of fatalities. After
wrecking a short area the tornado
would leap four or five miles before
coming down to earth and doing more
damage. At several points it lifted
big powders, some of them weighing
ton, and left them in the middle of
roads. In Union township house
was lifted from its foundation and
deposited in an adjoining field. A
heavy stove was carried half mile.

FORCEPS WERE SEWN UP In
TIFTON WOMAN'S STOMACH

Were Left There When Mrs. j. D.
Young Was Operated on in an At
lanta Sanitarium. Suffered Much.
Triton, Ga.-Mrs. J. D. Young,
of Triton, has gone through an I'M
usual and very trying experience.
Two years ago she was operated on
at an Atlanta sanitarium for tumors
of the stomach. Since that time she
has suffered what was apparently a
return of the trouble until the at
tending physicians found another
operation necessary, and this was
performed yesterday.
When the incision was made a pair
of artery forceps was found in her
stomach. These were between six
and seven inches long and had been
left in the cavity when she was oper-
ated on two years ago. The point
had worked through the large intes-
tine but the handle caught.
Mrs. Young had suffered great pain
and that she lived was little short of
miracle. Since the operation she
appears to be on way to recovery.
A few such cases have been report
ed from time to time, but were large
ly regarded as more or less imagi-
nary. This is an actual occurrence
and can be substantiated.

6 PHILADELPHIANS SAT- DOWN
TO DINNER AT ST. 900 A PLATE
Guests Received From Host Plate of
Gold as Favors.

Nineteen hundred years ago the
Apostle James delivered a terrific in
dictment against certain persons
when he said: "Your riches are cor
rupted and your garments moth-eat-
en-. Your gold and silver are canker-
ed and the rust of them shall be wit
ness against you. Ye have lived in
pleasure on the earth and been wan
ton" Applying the quotation to the
six men who sat down to dinner in
Philadelphia at $1,000 a plate and
received from the host a plate of
gold, Commerce and Finance says:
"The Indictment drawn by the i'm
petuous Son of Thunder 1900 years
ago holds today as it did then. What
a pity with tens of thousands hun
gering, tens of thousands ragged in
the winters cold, tens of thousands
suffering, no thought of charity
should enter the minds of these six
men. What a pity with the world in
agony brutal money should so af-
front a people defeating their all to
the cause of oppressed humanity"
