UNCLE SAM SAYS-HAVE A
POTATO DAY EACH WEEK.

One Of the things needed to help
us win the war right now is spe,
cial selling effort behind the pota.

so much value to the Kaiser IN
holding on "over there' that,
even with General Byng after
him, he recently found time to 10.
cue q medal commemorative the
bringing of the potato from Amer.
lea to Europe.
Last fall, the grocery trade
joined hands with the Food Ad.
minlstratlon for concerted drive
on potato sales. But unfortunate
complications came in the crop.
There was field frost that hur.
ried damaged potatoes to market,
and also delay in shipments,
due to railway congestion, which
put prices too high for free con.
sumption.
Now, most of the baby troubles
of last years crop seem to be over,
and there ara plenty of potatoes
in most markets, with satisfactory
supplies steadily coming in.
What we need now, is q long
pull, and strong pull, and pull
together on--grower, grocer, and
consumer all doing team work to
get good potatoes to msrket, and
put them on the consumers table
ct reasonable prices, and with
minimum cost.

TO THE FARM ERS

John Al. Iarxer, Food Admins
traitor for Louisiana asks that this
message be given to the farmers
Of the state
"Farmers throughout Louisiana
are urged TO carefully test the
terminating strength of all Of
their corn before planting.
"The early frost damaged a
great deal of corn, and the pheno-
menal coal weather since that
time has frozen a great many ears.
due to the excessive moisture In
the corn. At least five grains off
of each ear should be tested in a
testing pod to see that the corn is
good. strong and vigorous. We
don't want any waste time or
waste work this year, and IL
would be grave pity for our
farmers to plant imperfectly ma.
tured seed and be unable to derive
any benefit from their toll and la
Dor.
"This matter Is very important,
and we hope will be given the
greatest possible publicity by the
press OF the state, az good seed
are necessary to produce good
crops, and for that reason the CD
eDing paragraph of this request 10
urged upon all of our agricultural
population"
On last Saturday between
twelve and one p. m. the FIRE
alarm was sounded. The photo
studio of Mrs. J. Med. Davenport.
on East Washington street was
discovered aflre and before any
thing could be done towards ex
tInguishing the flames, the studio
was rendered q hopeless wreck.
The fire is thought to have been
originated by an oil.heater.

War Conditions Reflected
In Telephone Service

Among the unforeseen conditions which the has inn
posed upon us is necessity of practically sspendns the COM
mercial developmento our business.
Confronted with increase in the OF the tele-
phone strong demand for and additional service we
accept fill orders subject practically to an IN
definite delay
supplies that the governments requirements be promptly
giving the department service anywhere and at any
time the request is made.
Coupled with this is the inability of manufacturers to supply
with sections of switchboard to enlarge plants SO that
the increased calling of present subscribers be han
died with usual efficiency.
~ The result is that only unable to increase our
by accepting volume of business but are IN
the awkward of seeing suffer and present
patrons Inconvenience OF the increased use OF our
long lines producing added revenue but cannot
enlarge plant take of and the delays and nconven'
fences due the congestion seriously embarrassing
In time like this we believe the public will appreciate
frank statement the situation This has been consistent
policy and has for good will which believe will IN
e patient and cheerful cooperation and considerations on the
part of our patrons and the public
We are serving the government first and efficiently This
less than duty and oS than every patriotic ndl-
Wdua and institution is doing, also
We are not making profit of the and have
expectation of profit from service OF the thlr-
telephone plants we have installed in army camps.
Any sacrifice make is accepted cheerfly and if our diff
cues reflected in telephone service ask that

REED lC HEARST REPRE-
 SENTATIVE BECKER CHARGED

(Continued from Page One.) Major Humes replied that he repres- ented the committee and had been de- tailed by the war department to con- duct the investigation and was under orders from the committee.
 eff you do represent the committee" said Senator Reed, q want to know what kind of representation it is that you give when you refuse to give up the names of people who got this tes- timony."
 "I will not difnify that question with an answer" replied Major Humes.
 Another flare-up occurred when Senator Reed asked MT. Becker if it were not true that he, acting under q special New York state war statue granting authority to make investiga- tions relating to the public peace and safety obtained information which he used for political purposes. MT. Becker interrupted the senator with the comment:
 "I hope the Hearst reporter is get ting this"
 A moment later he apologi2ed to the committee for the remark.
 Senator Reed tried to make Mr. Becker state the expense incurred in obtaining the affidavits and deposi- tions. Becker said he could not re- member the aggregate, but that noth- ing was paid the witnesses or depon- ents except to cover their loss of time taken in making the affidavits. He added that all the ,affidavits were taken in "good faith" and "along with many others about MT. Hearst which l have not made public"
 The committee reserved it's ruling on whether MT. Becker should be com pelled to make public names of state Investigators.
 Later when Becker spoke of Sena- tor Reed holding brief from Hearst the senator addressing the committee, asked that such refernces be stopped. "If the committee doesn't stop him ] will take my own way of doing it, he said.
 Chairman Overman said he believed the reply to be improper and MT. Becker again apologized.
 Senator Reed asked Mr. Becker further about statement given out jointly by Attorney General Lewis and MT. Becker dealing with dinner giv- en in honor of William Randolph
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1918-12-22

Hearst by Bolo Pasha. MT. Becker said that MT. Hearst's indignation at that statement was the beginning of sus- picion in his mind that there might be a connection between Hearst and Bolo Pasha.
 That statement coupled with the fact that Hearst lied when he said that he had met Bolo only once, when the statement of his own employt showed that he met him at least three times, right then was borne in my mind, the impression that there might be something wrong"

Paris, Oct. 22.-The German reply
to President Wilson was received
here too late for the afternoon papers
but was eagerly discussed in official
circles and in parliament Among
deputies of all shades Of opinion the
impression was first of all, that the
reply betrayed more than previous
communications the state OF depres-
sion and the decentralization Of the
German people as the result of the
allies victories.
As whole the note is found 30
equivocaI and tortuous and pIatft1d-
inously phrased so as TO leave the
door open for all sorts of clubbing,
Nowhere is there evidence In the re-
ply OF a genuine desire to accept the
only way in which peace can be con-
cluded, according to expression of
opinion here. On the contrary all
that is apparent is the urgent desire
to reorganize Its reserves of men and
material. Therefore. it is generally
believed that the reply is not likely
to be considered at Washington.
The Figaro says that the men who
combined to write the reply TO Presi-
dent Wilson have Translated the
anguish, diary and powerless anger
of the people i'm whose name they
pretend to speak"
''The German note is typical
document" says The Matin. In
il are expressed the sentiments OF a
barbarcus people who failed in q
foray. There Is not word in the
note which reyails that stoical
strength OF which France and other
nations have so often givtn proof in
misfortune. Nevertheless, by a REM
nant OF that lying trickery innate ga
/ the Teutom, our adversary seeks sk3ll
to deceive himself by lulling hirls
l against all evidence and hopes.
