Some Big Potatoes.

Bamberg county has always been
celebrated for it's sweet potatoes, and
it seems that. she has not lost hel
prestige, even if the whole world is
enveloped In war. Last week The
Herald received a couple of "sam-
ples'' which bear out u assertion
that the county still delivers the
goods.
Mr.. @. H. Sandifer, who farms
near the city, holds the record so far
He brought in q couple of tubers OF
monster proportions. One weighed
six pounds and the other tipped the
scales at Z 1-2 pounds. Mr.. Sandifer
says he gathered 270 bushels from
three-fourths of an acre. We are
not farmers and don't profess to be,
but to a lay mind this appears to
have cotton skinned a mile" even
when it is worth thirty cents. The
potatoes are of the Porto Rico va
riety.
Mr.. A. J. Hunter also brought in
some fine specimens. One weighed
three and a half pounds and the other
weighed five and one-half pounds
These are Triumph potatoes and es-
pecially fine, smooth tubers. Mr..
Hunter says he also has prospects OF
a fine crop this year, though he thinks
the dry weather cut off his yield
somewhat.

FROM PRINCE TO PAUPER.
Present Condition Of Mexioo's For
mer Cattle King.

; Each morning at sunrise, says an
Ell Pas6 correspondent, an old man
with silver white hair and a snowy
beard may be seen walking around
the plaza taking his daily exercise
with his two body guards.
He is Gen. Luis Terrazas, octogen-
arian exile from Mexico, who lost vir-
tually all his great fortune to the rev.
olution of Madero and Villa. When
the Madero> revolution started' in
1911 "Don Luis was known as the
cattle king of Mexico. His herds
numbered more than 100000 and
grazed on a thousand hills and plains
sof northern Mexico. His estates
stretched from the Rio Grande to
Chihuahua city and he could ride for
tw~enty-four hours by train over his
own acres, which then numbered
more than a million.
From his Offices in the State CAPT
tai, Gen. Terrazas governed this vast
cattle empire, conducted a bank and
many other industries connected with
his cattle business. He and his large
family lived in luxury in the marble
palace on the Alamada or at Qulnta
Carolina, his summer home on the
plains at the border from the Terra
zas ranches.
His annual export averaged $4,000
head, and the trimmings" brand
was as we'll known at the Chicago,
Kansas City and Fort Worth stock
yards as it was in Mexico. The Ter
razas holdings we're estimated to be
worth s5,,000,o0o tgold) but were
not for sale at any price.
Now Gen. Terrazas and his family
live in a rented house on Golden Hill.
He rides to his Office in an old auto
mobile and buys his groceries from
a .cash-and-carry store.
The revolutionists under Madero,
Orozco and other leaders killed the
Terrazas cattle for food, burned his
ranch buildings and looted his stores
and warehouses. Then Francisco Vii
la acting as commander in the north
for Gen. Carranza, issued a decree
copfscating all of the Terrazas hold
ings, including the herds, lands and
personal property. Gen. Terrazas
was forced to flee from Mexico be-
fore Villas advance on chihuahua
City from Juarez. He made the long
trek to the border at Ojinaga with
the fleeing federal column. He new,
er returned to Mexico.
July % last, Gen. Terrazas cele.
brated his eighty-ninth birthday an
niversary, surrounded by his ter
sons, seventy-fve grandchildren and
many more relatives. He maintains
an office downtown, where he at
tends to his private business daily
and market conditions.
It is his dream to be permitted tc
return to his native land with suffi.
cient guarantees to allow him to be
gin over again to reestablish the Ter
razas fortune.

Few Songs of the Sea Secured Public
Favor as Quickly as Life on
the Ocean Wave"

The best and most popular Of all
tie songs of the sailor boys Is Epes
Saigent's "a Life on the Ocean Wave"
The words of this song were written
for Henry Russell, the well-known mu-
sic composer. The subject of the song
was suggested TO Sargent as he was
walking one breezy. sun-bright morning
In spring on the Battery In New York,
ana looking out on the ships and small
craft leaving or en,erlng the harbor.
Having completed the song Sargent
went to the office of the Mirror, wrote
the words and showed them to his
friend. George p. Morris. After read
ing the piece. Morris said: MY dear
boy, this is not song; 1t will never
do for music, but should like to pub
lish It in the Mirror"
Some days after the publication,
Sni gent met Russell, who said :

strange things afterwards-but he
raises and lowers himself those ten
times-because he's a United States
marine!
Urged to Better Things.
There's something inside him, urg-
ing him on, telling him that he must
be better, better, better every hour,
every minute, every second of his life.
And when the long hours of drilling
start, that marine is not only willing
to go the limit-but eager! He's a
marine-he's simply got to know ev-
erything and be everything and do
everything!
Facing him everywhere are signs
IF You Don't Know You Get
Killed" And the marine knows. He
trains with the naked bayonet. He
goes out upon the rifle range, and IL
he doesn't qualify as an expert, a
marksman or a sharpshooter he kicks
himself all the way back to camp, and
sits up nights to dream out way Of
making 1t up In some other way.
Exercises. Training. Work. Play.
They follow one after another in rush
ing sequence. Men box-because the
movements Of boxing are similar to
those of bayonet fighting. They have
pulling up" exercises-because that
helps one to get in and out Of
trenches. Swimming-and the men
even march to the swimming hole
because that develops every muscle
of the body.
Drill, hour after hour, while SER
geants bark and the man who misses
step is his own worst enemy. Lee
lures, more drill, more work, more
play, more training. In seven weeks
the body and the mind of the marine
are at the edge of perfection. And
then, while the band plays and the
"left-behinds' cheer, he embarks for
France, via Quantico, there to work
again, play again and drill again. And
not until the moment of the Zero"
when the signal calls for fighting de-
mons to rush over the top, is that
training relaxed for a moment After
that it's not question of training
but the results of 1t. And Chateau
Thierry and Belleau wood have told
those to the world.

INCREASE IN POTATO YIELD
Average In This Country Has Risen
From n to 81 Bushels
Since 1894.

washington.-The yield of potatoes
per acre is gradually Increasing, the
records of the bureau Of crop esti-
mates show. During 1S66-1S74 the
average was 81 bushels. but It declined
to 71.3 bushels in 1875-1894. Per
ceptible recovery was made In the fol-
lCwing ten-year period and a much
larger recovery, rising to new high
water mark, was reached in 19O5-1914,
with Its average yield Of 81 bushels
rer acre.
This Increase Is due to various
causes. among which are greater spe-
c.alization Of production, more inten-
sIve treatment and higher fertility Of
the soil. The ten-year average yield
II 97 bushels per acre In 19O5-1914 was
followed by 06.3 bushels In 1915. sos
bushels In the very low year of 1915,
ind 1908 bushels In 1917.
Compared with population the yield
Of potatoes per acre declined from
1S66-1S74 to 1905-1014. The gain Of
production per capita In recent years
has been more because Of increased
acreage than because Of increased pro-
duction per AGRA

NEITHER PENCIL NOR PEN
Writing implement, Made of Mixture
Of Wax and Ground Pumice
Stone, Recent Invention.

A writing implement composed of a
mixture of wax and finely ground pu
n:ce stone containing particles of ink
has been invented by William G. Geer
of Akron, o., to take the place of ordi-
nary and fountain pens, pencils, cray
ons and all other writing implements,
say the Popular Science Monthly. AS
the body of the new writing device is
composed of mixture Of wax and
pumice stone, which is easily worn
away when rubbed against a paper
surface, the inventor claims that the
cells of ink intermixed with the wax
and pumice stone will also be liber-
ated, giving uniform supply Of ink.
The device is made by mixing the
wax, pumice stone and ink together.
When it is heated to the proper tenn
perature it is suddenly immersed in
cold water. This chills and solidifies
the wax mixture, producing a body
having cellular structure, each cell
being filed with ink.

No crocuses in November.

It should be consolation to women
who have passed thirty to remember
that the most beautiful work of human
hands-the Venus de Milo-is the
statue Of mature woman, comments
a writer. All the Venuses, in fact, are
represented as mothers. There is not
a young girl in the lot. Among the
Greek statues only Psyche could quail
'ify as Broadway beauty, and even
Psyche might appear little plump
and mature to the admirers of the hui
man reedbird.
OF course, every woman should fight
ugliness to her last hour. She need
not lose her beauty at any age. But
one does not expect to pick snowdrops
or crocuses from the fallen leaves Of
November, and it is just as futile to
hope to look sixteen when you are
forty.
