stated that he was glad to see SO
many in Hastings who can and will
do their share to help win this war.
Planting potatoes is the greatest
aid in winning this war" is the way
DR.. Ross put it.
In his talk on cooperation, DR..
Ross stated that by combining their
efforts the growers of this communi-
ty could greatly lessen their pur-
chasing costs and also reduce their
marketing cost. He pointed out
what the citrus growers had accom-
plished in the past, how they had
done away with the useless expense
ordinarily paid to the middleman,
that the association with its present
day facilities for marketing is able to
save every grower large part Of
what otherwise would go to the com.
mission man and how cooperation
would work out for the potato grow
ers.
He stated that in the past the peo-
pie Of Florida had been buyers at
retail and sellers at wholesale, giving
an illustration of how this worked
out Everyone present realized the
truth of this statement and the ef-
fects of this remark will be appar-
ent.
After several other speakers had
been heard, among them being
Messrs. Stewart, Miller, Curry and
Shelley, the Growers Association
held closed session, accepting eight
new members, making a total of over
70 now in good standing. The board
of directors held a meeting on the %,
after which special meeting will be
called in the near future.
A noticeable thing of this meeting
was that representatives from the en-
tire potato belt were present, such
towns as Elkton, Armstrong, East Pa
latka. Palatka, San Mateo, Spuds and
St. Augustine having growers pres
ent, nearly $50 men and women being
interested listeners
Manufacturers representatives were
also present, having with them sew
eral different styles of bags that they
figure will be used next year. Mr..
Earnest and Mr.. Zelma were also
present, demonstrating a HOPELESS,
nailess barrel, recently patented. This
barrel has number Of good points
that should be considered.
A great deal of interest is being
shown by the growers of this COM
munity and it is predicted that in less
than years time the Potato Grow
ers' Association will be fully as
strong as the Farmers Union, which
has reputation of being one of the
strongest if not the strongest associa-
tion in this State. Every grower who
does not belong to the association
should join at once, it was stated.

AMERICAN SECTOR
EXPECTS ATTACK
FRITZ IS MAD BECAUSE U. S.
BOYS BLOW UP HIS
TRENCHES.
(By the Associated Press).


With the American Army in
France, March 6.-(Wednesday).-
The enemy apparently is planning
something against our troops in the
sector northwest OF Toul. His cam
outage constructions at certain pla-
ces have suddenly been doubled in
height, and much work is going
on within the enemy line.
Last night, an American on pa
troll who understands German, heard
this conversation within a German
trench:
Come here, Fritz, take this pick
and pry that stone loose and then
throw that dirt out. Those are
Americans over there. We work
all night to fix things here and
they blow them up in the daytime
The men in the American patrol
who made a sudden dash for the
American lines from shell hole
near the German trenches where
they had been hiding have explain
ed why they started in broad day
light on their backward sprint. They
had lost their way in the dark in
No Mans Land, and got into the
shell hole after wandering for sew
eral hours. Finally the men got
hungry and all of them decided they
would rather take chance with
German bullets than go any longer
without food and water.
The sun came out today, drying
out the ground and the trenches
and the mems damp clothing.

WILLIAM H. MURRAY SPOKE
ON DUTY OF TEACHER
DURING THE WAR.

At the closing session today OF
the meeting of the Carter County
Educational Association the regis
ter showed ll3 teachers present, and
there were several in attendance

W. II. Murray OF Tishomingo de-
livcred an address on The Duty OF
the Teacher in War" While he well
defined the duties OF the teacher, he
went aheld and in frequent out
bursts OF patriotic utterance told

and impressed upon his hearers the
necessity OF all doing their duty,
whether it be in the schoolroom.

farm, the factory or on the field Of

New York, March 9.-Stocks were
temporarily halted m their upward

more delicate phases presented by
the foreign situation, but bounded
forward again under lead OF rails,

companied by heavy accumulation,

sections also made substantial gains
on the excellent crop outlook. In

uncertain attitude OF the govern

causing moderate recessions.
Most OF these recessions were re-

MARKET REPORTS
NEW YORK SPOT COTTON.

New York, March 9.-Spot cotton
quiet middling, 1920.
The refusal of spots to follow
the decline in contracts and the
forecast of fair weather in Texas
brought in enough buying to check
the decline and bring about re-
covery of about ten points from the
lowest. Toward the close, how
ever, the market turned rather soft
under renewed liquidation OF long

REED IS BITTER
AGAINST HOOVER
MANY "BRAINLESS DAYS
BRING MEATLESS DAYS,
THE SENATOR CRIES.

Washington, March 9.-Charges
were made in the senate yesterday
by Senator Borah, OF Idaho, Re
publican, and Senator Reed ,oi Mis-
souri, Democrat, that the food adj
miuistration had begun a policy OF
fixing maximum prices for farm
products. They and other senator,
declared authority OF the food law
was being exceeded.
The attack followed introduction
Of a resolution by Senator Sauls-
bury OF Delaware, Democrat, which
was passed, calling upon the food
administration to say by what au-
thority it asked bids on tomatoes
for the army and navy at fixed
prices.
MIR. Hoover personally disclaimed
any effort to fix prices, Senator
Walcott OF Delaware said, but he
contended the effect, although the
food administration merely sub
mitted prices agreed upon by army
and navy supply purchasing bu-
reaus, was actual price fixing. Sen
ator Walcott charged the food ad-
miniStration was in fact fixing
prices for farm products by pro-
hibiting grocers from buying poul-
try, for instance before a certain
date.
AS to Other Products.
They are doing the same thing
with other products, entering on a
pricc-fiNing program-possibly not
technically but in effect said Sen
ator Borah
"They have no authority to fix
prices, but they fixed it for sugar,
said Senator Lodge, of Massachu-
setts. They said it was volun-
tary act, but they managed to fix
it."
The food administrator has per-
yerted his power under the licens-
ing section so that farmers in my
state cannot even sell ham, said
Senator Salisbury.
Senator Reed attacked the food
administration, declaring "blunders
and mistakes are now being made
by men who are utterly ignorant of
the laws of trade, commerce and
production and that every day
they continue to exercise the pow
ers they are reducing the force and
potentially of the Unitd States.
May Restrict Production.
Despite the fact that Mr.. Hoover
tells us that wheat is necessary to
win the war and that it may be nee
essary to ration the nation in order
to obtain sufficient grain for our
allies, this wise administration" said
Senator Reed, is waxing a course
calculated to restrict production of
wheat, and there isn't man out
side of the food administration who
doesn't know it.
81 believe that the efficiency of
the United States has been reduced
20 per cent below what it ought to
be at this time by an ignorant in
terference with business methods. -
