SWEET POTATOES

Now is a splendid time to put out
sweet potatoes and / trust that ev-
cry farmer will be sure to have a
y0od size patch. Every farm in the
county will grow this crop abundant
ly and every farmer knows how to
grow them. They are not only good
food for mar but are fine for hog
and cattle besides the large potatoes

ed in Grenada will insure US a cash
market for all we grow. On good
well prepared land it will be safe to
plant sweet potatoes as late as the
middle of July. 1t looks now as if
the corn crop is DING to be short
and a heavy crop of sweet potatoes
will be a trerntndous help this fall.

Leader of Stand Pat Republic

ADVOCATES DOCTRINE
OF LOOT BY WAR
Statement Shows That Plan Of
Republicans To Discredit

Paramount.

Washington, April 29.-Demands OF
Italy for the port of Fiume, denial Oh
which led to the withdrawal OF the
Italian plenipotentiaries from the
peace conference, were Upheld tonlght
by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts
Republican floor leader, in telegram
sent to Italian Societies Of Boston.
Senator Lodge declared that ltaly's
demands rested on the ground OF her
national safety and protection Where-
as reasons which had been advanced
for turning the port over to the Jugo
Slavs were purely commercial and
economic He asserted that mas
much as Italy had sacrificed a nall
million of her people and burdened
herself with heavy debts in aiding
Franco. England and the United
States to repel the German onset. ne
could not see how her request could
properly be refused.
The senator said he could not under
stand why arrangements had not
been made for satisfying 1talys de-
sire for military and naval control
over. the Adriatic and at the same
time providing the Jugo-Slavs with a
port through which they would have
access to the sea.
"In the discussions Of the terms of
peace" said Senator Lodge, II have
always declared that the region
known as Italia Irredenta and all ad-
Joining regions where Italian culture
and Italian population are dominant
should be returned to Italy and that
Italy should have military and naval
control Of the Adriatic not only for
her own protection but as an essen
tial barrier against any future attempt
of Germany to attack the rest of the
world as she did in the recent war. ]
have also said repeatedly that the
Jugo-S.avs ought to have access to
the Adriatic which I regard as eco
nomically essential to their indeDend-
ence.
From information given me by an
Italian deputation whom I saw last
spring in Washington, was assured
that Italy was entirely willing to
give portions of the Dalmatian coast
containing good ports to the S]av
populations Of that region. If this
be true, as have no doubt it is, can
rot see why this arrangement should
not have been made
Italy regards Fiune,' he added,

Paris. April 29.-(By the Associat-
ed Press)-Ambassador Page tele-
graphed from Rome today that he had
gathered from Premier Orlando in a
long conference Monday that the pre-
mier did not intend to return to Paris
for the signing Of the peace treaty.
The premier expressed regret that the
! time was so short before the arrival
of the Germans.
This was only one Of the disturbing
complications presented by the 1tal-
ian situation as the time approaches
! for the delivery of the peace treaty
to the Germans.
The Italian premier, the telegram
from Ambassador Page added, felt
| that his action either way would
have serious consequences, but it was
preferable to have trouble from
without Italy rather than from with
in Italy, because the present state OF
public feeling in Italy would not JUS
tify the signing of treaty which did
not include Italian aspirations.
Ambassador Page said he had
taken steps to have the Italian author
tiles suppress manifestations directed
against President Wilson. AS a re-
suit one of the principal demonstra-
tons in Rome was given up.
Should Premier Orlando not return
for the signing of the treaty, it would
give the situation more serious as
pect than the departure of the 1tal-
ian delegation as the allies would be
required to take final action without
the participation Of Italy. While there
is every desire to avoid this result,
the indications are that the allies will
proceed with the signing if Italy de-
cides to withhold participation.
The final treaty is virtually COM
pleted The men in charge of the
work say they have no further doubt
that they will be able to finish their
work by,Thursday or by such time as
delivery is made. The latest count
shows a total of $4,000 words in the
treaty.
An official summary of 10000
words has been made. 1t is in such
shape that it could be made public at
once but the intention is to hold it,
for publication throughout the world
at about the same time that the
treaty is delivered to the Germans.
The various governments are cabling

taneous release when authorization is
given by the conference.

t.Mr. President: I take the oppor-
