KEEP UP BIG POTATO CROP
ADVISE U. s. SPECIALISTS

The normal acreage of Irish
and sweet potatoes should be
maintained In 1918 notwithstand-
ing the large crops in 1917, the
department Of agriculture be-
lieves. This Is especially true
In view of the necessity of re-
leasing more wheat for export.
Potatoes, both Irish and sweet,
are the most popular and most
generally used of the perishable
stable crops. The department,
through its extension and publ
cation activities, is encouraging
their greater use, especially the
use of the Irish potato, as a par
tlal substitute for wheat In
bread-making.
The yield per acre can be
made more certain by greater
attention to the selection OF dis
ease-frec potatoes of good varl-
cites, by treatment Of seed pota-
toes Immediately before plant
Ing. and by the use of sprays to
prevent loss from blight.

CITY WATER

MORNING-MAINS TO BE

After IL o'clock Sunday morning
the city standpipe was emptied, the
manhole opened for the entrance of

DRAFT BOARD NOTES
LULL IN THE ACTIVITIES UNTIL
TRAIN SCHEDULE is
RECEIVED.

The local draft board is advised
that Ingmar M. Iverson was accepted
for military duty at Camp Dodge on
June IL.
Saturday Sheriff Keller arrested
on the street Yaldemar Martenson,
on information of persons from nea
Wentworth, and is holding the man
in iail TO turn him over to the proper
authorities. He was travelling in this
country by roundabout ways, and
was i'm possession of a registration
card, but no classification card. The
registration card showed him to have
been registered at Baltimore on Au-
gust II, 1917 by II. Steiss, of the de-
partment of justice. The penman-
ship shows unfamiliarity with that
weapon, and Mr.. Keller thinks it to
be a fictitious card.
Slim Case, registered at Clark, is
being held pending instructions by
his local board. He was arrested
last week in the country on informa-
ton that he never showed up at his
local board for the physical examina-
lions.
William Miller was arrested as a
deserter at Hartford Saturday, hav-
ing failed to appear for his physical
examination as one of those called
for that purpose of the first class.
He is in confinement pending an in
vestigation by the board.
The local board is of the opinion
that the re-classification which is be-
ing reported is caused more from the
negligence of local boards over the
state and country than ii is by change
of status of the r~egistrants. The cir
cular says that inequalities are occur
ring in the numbers OF men SEN from
different counties, due TO the differ
cnce i'm percentages of the total regis
tration which is i'm class l., and upon
which the calls are based. There are
, counties which report rs low as 80
per cent OF the total as being in this
class, and others reporting as high as
40 per cent. 1t is stated in the cir
cular that this will be corrected in
the re-classification, This work Is
ordered, but the rules on which it !:

Letter From a Jerusalem Resident.

Sir,-With reference to the item in the
"South Wales Daily News" re Dinner at
Hebron" | should like to mention that
the gentleman mentioned as having been
present at the dinner Mr.. S. Slonim, is
relative of mine, and that the cap and
macintosh he wore were those which
bought for him some five and half years
ago at Messrs. ]. Howell, St. Mary street.
In letter which received from Sis
ter of mine residing at Jerusalem, she
writes that the rejoicing OF the whole
population at the entry of the British
into the Holy City is inexpressible. They
hope and pray that the British should
soon be in possession of the whole OF
Palestine, Syria and Damascus.
"On the 9Th of December letter
continues to the capture OF Jeru-
salem, the nine most prominent and lead
ing men of Jerusalem, including the Pa
triarch of Greece, the Patriarch OF Ar
menia, the manager and chief cashier OF
the Anglo-Palestine Bank (the last men
toned being my father, Mr.. Alter Rivlin)
were taken out of their beds at midnight
by the Turks and carried away to Da-
mascus. What has become OF these cap
tives is not known"
should like to add that my father is

in letter written by the Rev. H. S.

chaplain with the forces, to one OF the
officers of his church. He adds:-"It will
sinterest you to know held the first serv-
ice in Jerusalem after the British Occu-
patton.
t 81 do hope and pray we may not lose
the prize when it. is within our grasp by
making hurried and patched-up peace.
Better another two years of this war than
to end it now, and in the next generation
see cursor and daughters dragged into
another such inferno. I am certain all
the fighting men will say Amen to that,
"The men are marvellous, and what you
people at home forget is that they have
been fighting and roughing it now for
three months without break. Here it
is not like France, three days of hell, and
then comfortable billets, baths, change
of clothes, etc. It is open fighting, no
protecting trenches True, the artillery
is weak compared to what they have ON
the Western front, but the small arm
fire is heavier Think of all this-Wet
and cold, and the strain of war; often
every rag soaked for two or three days,
,clothes and blankets, and no fire to dry
them. And the poor fellows sometimes
get letters from home in which their
folks congratulate them on being out
there instead Of in France!"

Another gentleman present was Mr.. M.
S. Slonim, manager of the Anglo-Pales-
tine Bank, Hebron, whose brother (Mr.
Moses Slonim) resides in Cardiff. The
letter continues: "Mr. Slonim, manager
of Hebron Bank, was wearing cap and
macintosh made by j. Howell, st. Mary
street, Cardiff Quite funny, was it not?
We are now about three miles
outside Jerusalem"
Sergeant Lewis describes an interest
ing incident. He says: Some OF our
boys at Hebron saw two little girls and
made a casual remark, 'Sucader Biub?'

We then pushed on toward Bethlehem,
