NEW YORK. Dec. 2e.-Dun's tomor- row will say:
 "A year that opened with doubts and misgivings as to economic departments to follow, now hears it's ending with the future still clouded, but with con- ditions having manifested for more stability than had been generally ex- pected. While establishments that have brought with them some problems even more formidable than those 4~of war times have necessarily caused incon- venience and unsettlement in business, yet the widespread and serious indus trial and mercantile reaction of which many interests had been apprehensive has not only failed to make it's appear ance. but 1919 ha sset new high levels in domestic commerce, and new low records in failures. These results, moreover, have been attained in spite of greater labor unrest than ever before known, and notwithstanding a persist ent interference with productive and distributive processes that has intensi- fled the shortages In many commod: ties. an dhas prevented transactions of magnitude that might otherwise have been consummated."

MIR. VINCENT AND COMMISSION GOVERNMENT

R VINCENT, Fusion candidate for the Democratic 1V1 ination for mayor, speaks with certainly about his attitude toward commission government. In The Times Friday he said that he would possible install mission government he nauguraed should he be chosen mayor of Bridgeport.
 Mir. Vincent could not install commission government speedily that but he could effect the transition within months.
 Assuming that he inaugurated the project the week office the first question could be submitted mOnths The charter being already prepared for it assumed that he would the charter which the approved by two to voe the submission the electorate could take place within another 90 day period and the whole transaction could be carried to completion well inside of months. speedy solution would however, require very enthusiastic effort and the period of eight to 10 months would probably be conservative guess time that would be required.
 The commission form of government would do away with partisan politics elections There would be Democratic Republican party local affairs Persons chosen the present charter would automatically be out office officers chosen under the charter.
 Commission government, which has very strong follow ing in Bridgeport would probably if had the strong support the chief executive It almost carried with the publican machine in power and in opposition.

potato may disintegrate into a black, { crumbly, decayed mass.
 When the Department of AgrfcuI-i ture agents were searching for the disease in Pennsylvania, the bewild- cred coal miners were much concern ed, thinking that this might be the cause of the dreaded flu" epidemic then raging. One Irish lady. with characteristic sense of humor. show ed all her neighbors one of her large diseased potatoes as a new variety of caulilower which grew under ground.
 The disease is a fungous disease and affects the potato only: a person night eat it without injury in the least, but the chances are that he wouldn't, for the wartv outgroyv- 17s are ordinarily cut off in peeIing. In fact, in the infected backward gardens in Pennsylvania, the worst spots were often right by the back door. where ihe potato peelings had been thrown. cut to the chickens. If the peelings had been cooked first. the disease would of course have been killed. and the potato peelings at the same time made more digestible.
 What effect has the disease on tbel potato plant? Sometimes the warn, outErOwths appear on the stems abozra ground, but generally the sole effect IS on the tubers, in severe caees causing them to turn into a black. crumoIy, decayed mass. The crop in some of the small gardens in Penn sNlVanla was practically a total loss While the vines might appear fafrlz, Lea-lHy and promising above ground, me disease might exist and be de- lected only at digging time
 How is the wart disease to he nra- vented! It is easier to prevent than is to control If it once gets into a. HeId it is hard to eradicate. There lore the United States Department of Agriculture, through the Plant Disease Survey and other cooperating organizations all over the country are cooperating in an effort to find The disease if it is present.
 Remember that the outgrovztI,s when young are wart-like. or iIxa small spongy cauliflowers attached to the potato tubers. Don't mistake the small round, solid little tubers which sometimes grow out from no- tato' especially from scabhy or badly diseased specimens, for the EIropean wart disease.
 With the many diseases we already nave and the serious decay which is unavoidable with certain weather conditions, it surely behooves every grower to watch out for this last no- tato menace and report it for invas- ugation if tubers at all suspicious a-a found. ''i .
