MISS SEARS LOSES
IN THE DOUBLES
Bostonian Has No Trouble
Winning Singles in State
Tournament
MRS. BETZ VICTO

A couple of surprises were sprung
In the seminal round of the doubles
in the women's championship Of Penn
sylvania and Eastern States at the Mer-
ion Cricket Club. Haverford, yesterday.
1t was thought that Miss Eleanora Sears
and Miss Elizabeth Ostheimer would GER
tainly reach the final round. but thei
opponents, Miss Gertrude Ostheimer and
Miss f. r. Porter, proved too good for
them and defeated them by two sets to
one. In the first set Miss Sears and Miss
Osthetmer played rings around their
opponents and. never giving them a
chance, they won by six games to one.
Mrs. John T.. Bailey and Mrs. ]. F.
Betz, Sd. had proved in their previous
matches that they were fairly strong
doubles team, but yesterday they were
given surprise by Miss Anne Town
send and Miss Rebecca Thomson, who
defeated them In straight sets. That the
victory was clean-cut one was demon-
strated by the fact that Mrs. Bailey and
Mrs. Betz won only two games in the
first set and three in the second.
In the semifinal round of the singles
the vigorous play of Miss Eeanora
Sears proved too much for Miss Mildred
Willard. Miss Sears covered the court
well and got in some remarkable re-
turns, and Miss willard did we'll to win
three games In each set. Mrs. Betz was
consoled for her defeat in the doubles
by defeating Miss Gertrude Ostheimer
in straight sets. Both sets were well
contested however. and it was only the
clever placing of Mrs. Betz that gave
her the victory, GA, GA. Only two
matches were played in the first round
of the mixed doubles, and both of them
were somewhat one-sided. Miss Mildred
Willard and H. B. Endicott proved too
clever for Miss Anne Townsend and
w. A. Lippincott, and defeated them in
straight sets, and Miss Sidney Franklin
and W, S. Thomson gained a very easy
victory. over Miss E. r. Porter and F.
c. Fearing, 81. 6-1.

Makes Valuable Gift to Schools

The Rexall Store has just in stalled very unique and valuable feature as a window display.
 This consists of a weekly Map Window Service showing inter estipg maps and illustrations. They advise us that these maps vii, show the leading events of whatever part of the world hap pens to be in the limelight. Just now, of course, the big interest is in Europe: so these maps will show the battle fronts in Europe; just where our American boys will be; together with pictures of interest in connection with same.
 These maps will be changed weekly and will show geograph. ically the progress of armies and other events of world interest. Special interest is going to be given to the sho.fng of the loca- tipn of our American boys in France.
 The Rexall Store has decided that after the maps have had their/turn in the window, they whl present them to the local hiah school, making a most valua- ble educational feature for the school; and Mr Martin is to be congratulated for furnishing our people this service. and more so because he is public spirited enough to save and present these maps to our public school.

has been almost a failure, 50 far as profit is concerned. There has been an abundance grown. but the prices have been discour aging One of the Fort Smith buyers is offering to take from one to 50 cars of No. l potatoes at 14cents per pound, sacked and loaded on cars, in car load lots. This emphasizes the necessity for the potato growers to orga-- nize local associations for the purpose of assem bling car lot shipments.
 The most profitable is the late potato crop, which is easily grown. and can be left in the ground until late in the fall. and will keep well after digging, and does not have to be rushed to market like the early crop. The greatest difficulty in growing the late potato crop is in getting a good stand. The best way to get a good stand is by the proper preparation of the seed bed and il the selection or treatment of the seed. The ground should be plowed deep and thoroughly disked and narrowed. so the soil will retain all the moisture pos sible. The blowing should be done immediately. The best seed to use is that of old pota- toes from last years crop that have been kept in cold storage. and there is an abundance of such potatoes on hand. If not available, then the next best thing is to select the small pota toes from your first crop and ship them to some nearby city and put them in cold storage un. til you are ready to plant. If that cannot be done then select your seed from the small pota- toes of your first crop and bury ing them deep in a long furrow leave them there until they. be- gin to sprout When ready to plant cut the potatoes in the af- ternoon and soak in water from 1 to 3 hours. Then put in sacks and pour water over them. Plant early the next morning and cover deep. The cold storage potatoes should be treated the same way and be planted as soon as taken out of cold storage. By follow ing these rules you will seldom fail to get good stand. Cold storage potatoes are far better for seed than any other kind, and last years potatoes are far better than this years. The late potatoes from this State find a ready market tor seed in Texas, Louisiana. and Southern Ala bama in the spring, if kept thru the winter, and always command 2 good price. The farmers of Arkansas have heretofore given too much attention to the early crop of potatoes and not enough attention to the late crop, which is in reality much more profita- ble, because the early crop will not keep. and must be sold when the market is full of potatoes and the price low. The late potatoes can be housed and kept until prices are better.
