KEEP UP BIG POTATO CROP
ADVISE U. s. SPECIALISTS

The normal acreage of Irish
and sweet potatoes should be
maintained in 1918 notwithstand-
ing the large crops In 1917, the
department Of agriculture be-
lieves. This Is especially true
In view Of the necessity Of re-
leasing more wheat for export.
Potatoes, both Irish and sweet,
are the most popular and most
generally used Of the perishable
stable crops. The department,
through It's extension and publ
cation activities, is encouraging
their greater use, especially the
use of the Irish potato, as a par
tlal substitute for wheat In
bread-maklng.
The yield per acre can be
made more certain by greater
attention TO the selection Of dis
ease-free potatoes Of good vari-
cites. by treatment of seed pota-
toes Immediately before plant
ing, and by the use of sprays to
prevent loss from blight.

HISTORIC ToLLeATE IS GONE
Emo Of Landmark In the Shenandoah
Valley Recalls an Interesting
Civil War story.

The razlng Of the Hillman tollgate
house takes away a historic landmark
In the lower Shenandoah valley. II
was constructed In 1870. before there
were railroads In this section, and 1t
was a part Of the thoroughfare from
Tennessee to Alexandria, Va, and
often 20 to 80 wagons could be seen
In line making the trip to and from
the boats at Alexandria.
The first toll was collected at gate
No. l by Simeon Hlllman, and he con-
tinued to collect toll until his death
In 1860. From 1860 to 1862 the gate
was kept by his widow. Charlotte Hill
man. when, on account of war eondi-
lions, the gate was abandoned until
1865. The house was struck by
shell just before the Battle of Kerns-
town.
1t was at this gate that Charlotte
Hillman held up General Sheridan and
his STAFF, The general paid the regular
toll for himself and his staff followed
his example.
But" said the general as he passed
through, II cannot vouch for my
army"
When the soldiers came up Mrs. Hill
man raised the POLE but stood at her
post all day long and kept tally and
after the war she sent the bill TO
Washington and 1t was promptly paid.
General Sheridan passed through
this gate again on his famous ride from
Winchester. Gen. Stonewall Jackson,
In his valley campaign, frequently
passed through 1t, always paying toll.

Do Stones Grown

To speak very correctly, only organic
things grow, though inorganic things,
money for instance. may increase In
size or quantity. Stones do not grow,
they happen. In some way or another
they have been Clipped off from rocks.
or hardened from clay or similar nod
ules Sometimes they have been rubbed
smooth, or partly SO, by friction. But
although they may be added to in some
rare instances by coatings of hardened
mud, they certainly do not and cannot
"grow," as do living things, by any
power within them.

TROTZKY REFUSES TO IN
TERFERE IN POGROMS.

Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevikl
Minister of Foreign Affairs, declar-
ed that he will do nothing to stop
the anti Jewish riots now occurring
in various parts of Russia. He said
that the pogroms were the result OF
the despair of the masses in the
present crisis and the only way to
prevent such outbreaks is to cause
the arrests of all food spectators
and all wealthy people. This is in
agreement with the answer he gave
few weeks ago to Jewish dele
cation that he, as an International
list, can see no reason why he should
defend the Jews particularly.
In Baku, the Jewish Self-Defense
Committee was able to prevent a
pogrom which was arranged by the
Black Hundreds together with the
many deserters from the army. In
this they were assisted by the sew
eral self-defense committees of 9TH
er nationalities, especially the Ar
menians. At Bieltzi, pogrom

Neil Primrose in Jewish Cemetery.

The body of Neil Primrose, the
youngest son of Lord Rosebury and
Lady Hannah Rothschild, who fell
recently in the Palestine campaign,
was buried in the Jewish cemetery
in Ramleh, on the road between
Jaffa and Jerusalem. This action
was probably taken in agreement
with the expressed desires of the
deceased, who has always expressed
his claim to being a member OF the
Jewish people and took intense in
terest in all Jewish movements. This
will still further endear the name of
the deceased to the great Jewish
masses, in whose behalf he fought
and for whose sake he gave up his
life. 1t will be remembered that at
the time when the question of the
establishment of a Jewish regiment
was discussed in England, Neil
Primrose expressed his desire to join
that regiment and thus identity him
self with the Jewish people.

he declared, will be the greatest
guarantee for world peace in the
future, since the Jews have always
been the most jealous advocates of
peace" The Courier de Italia, the
organ of the Vatican, says editorial
ly that the Pope has no objection
to the return of the Jews to Pales-
tine. The Vatican respects believers
of all faiths, but has no confidence
in freethinkers.
Professor Dellbruck, the famous
German economist, warned Ger
many against the rising friendship

that Jewish sympathies are of great
moment in the present war. He also
warns the Jews against putting too

1t would be best for them to retain
the friendship Of the Turkish people.
The Juedische Rundschau, the or
gan of the German Zionists, says:
"It is mistake to regard the British
assurance as bluff, for if Great Brit
ain succeeded in occupying Palestine
she would be Immediately obliged
to fulfill the promises given in the
declaration Moreover, it is impos
sible to doubt that Great Britain's
Allies have agreed to meet Zionist
wishes A final solution, however,
will only be possible at the peace

commenting on the statement, says:

standing, of course, that Palestine
