How To Raise Potatoes

Cut up the potatoes, leaving two eyes on each piece If you leave but one eye the potato will naturally be blinded and may come up in the wrong row.
 Plant the pieces with the eyes up. This will enable the potato to see how to come up when it begins to grow.
 During dry spells wrap the pota- toes in tissue paper to keep the dust out of their eyes. During a wet season place a potato to keep the water out of it's eyes.
 It is good idea to plant potatoes next to onions. This will make the eyes water and provide the neces- sary moisture.-(C. J. Smith)

Washington, Jan. 49, While Gen
eral Pershing's cabled casualty list
continues TO Indicate that American
infantrymen are engaging the enemy
on the western front. no word as to
the nature Of the fighting has reach
ed here. Today General Pershing's
report contained three additional
deaths from wounds received in ac-
tion.' while another died from blood
poisoning as result Of the same en-
gagement. Inasmuch as todays cas-
ualties took place on Monday, it Is
presumed they were sustained in Il
continuation of the skirmishing that
day, in which Corporal Roberts was
killed.
War department officials today
said they We're convinced that what
ever fighting has taken place has
been in the nature of skirmishing or
trench raiding The fact that there
has been no detailed report from
General Pershing indicates that
there has been no sustained lighting
and that all the casualties resulted
from minor engagements. 1t ds as.
