1t will only be few weeks until
the sweet potato crop will be ready
for storage. Do you have proper
storage house ready for them? Don't
forget that food of all kinds will be
scarce next winter, and Arkansas pea
pie will have to depend more than
ever upon their sweet potatoes. IN
addition, this crop will be too high
priced to let it rot. Plans for storage
houses of 500, $500. 5000 and $4,000

NO COAL SHORTAGE,
is RAILWAY PROMISE
Regional Director Urges High
Movement of Cars to Pre-
vent Famine.

guarantee that the railroads in this
section OF the country will do their full
part toward preventing shortage Of
coal during the winter was given
by Alfred II. Smith. regional director. in
a message yesterday to all railroad
managers within his jurisdiction rec
ommending that the movement of coal
cars be kept at the highest possible level
from now until all danger of famine is
past.
The largest number of coal cars dur
ing any month in the history OF Amer
lean railroads was moved between May
22 and June %. There were 990,s79
cars loaded and transported, and Mr..
Smith considers that with a proper
amount OF energy put into the task the
same rate of transportation can be
maintained during the winter months.
IN his special messaiS to railroad
managers in the eastern region he said
Coal production during the two
weeks period ended June is was the
HE hest ever reached in this country,
but since June is there has been
rapid decline. due largely to decreased
coal supply caused by tho sluggish
movement OF coal cars both loaded and
empty"
at Is OF vital Importance that our
efforts be redoubled to obtain an i'm
proved circulation OF coal loading equip
ment for unless we can succeed In do
ing this there is no question but that we
will fall in our efforts to meet the pro-
gramme OF the United States Fuel Ad-
ministration. This is of such impor-
lance that l feel justified in asking you
TO agitate It vigorously with all oper-
ating officers, so that we may be enabled
to make suitable improvement.
Last year there was a gradual down
ward tendency in coal production dur
ing the six weeks PERIOD ended with Au-
gust II, and II is hoped that We can
avoid a similar decrease this summer
and that We will be able to bring our
production up again TO what it was dur
ing the week ended June Is OF this year,
maintaining that as a consistent level
during the coming winter months"
In addition 10 the special programme
OF Mr.. Smith Director General McAdoo
has instituted extensive measures of fuel
conservation to be observed by the rail-
roads. Also no coal will be moved by
the railroads which has not been GER
| titled as of adequate quality at the
mines and the use Of coal cars for any
other purpose than coal carrying has
been discontinued.

FOWLER REVERSED
ON HETTY GREEN TAX
Appellate Court Orders NeU
Appraisal of Estate.

New York State may yet collect sub
stantial amount from the estate OF Hetty
II. r. Green. The Appellate Division of
the Supreme Court yesterday reversed
an order by Surrogate Fowler who held
that the estate need only pay IA tax Of
ss1.49s here, because only S2,247571 of
Mrs. Green's fortune OF 100000, 900 Is
invested in this commonwealth.
II was held by Surrogate Fowler that
Mrs. Green was legal resident OF Yer
mont at the time of her death. and that
only that part OF her estate actually in
vested here was subject to the New York
Inheritance tax. Had all Of It been tax
able, approximately $6,ooo,ooo would
have been collected.
The Appellate Division orders the re-
appraisal OF Mrs. GREEN'S New York
property. The State Comptroller previ-
ously had taken exception to the low
valuation placed on the amount of CAP
ital employed by Mrs. Green In her New
York banking business The decision Is
based on on amendment TO the State law
which was designed TO prevent capital
lists having a legal residence In other
States. but doing business here, from
eyadsng the inheritance tax
This amendment to the statute" said
the Appellate Divisions opinion In the
Green case. "may result in enormous
gains for the State in taxable property
and save the State great sums in taxes
which have hitherto been lost by the
practice of persons who. having great
fortunes invested as capital In this
State. escape their just share of taxation
for the protection that the State affords
to their capital by maintaining a domi
cile in some other State"
