Sweet Potato
Possibilities,

We had thought until very recent
ly that the record made by the late
Esq. ]. H. Rhodos, who made over
100 bushels Of potatoes on a scant
1-16 of an acre of land, was the
limit, but Prof. j. 0. Brown, last
year beat that proposition of 720
bushels to the acre. Prof. Brown
put out 100 slips and made 10
bushels-now count the amount
per acre at that rate. II 100 slips
will make 10 bushels, how many
bushels will $500 plants make?
multiply the means $500 x 10
$4,000 and devide by the extreme
lO0-and you have $50 bushels TO
the acre.

Great Honor To
Salvation Army.

The American Salvation Army
came through ana out of this
country's experience Of nineteen
months in the World War with
flying colors and additional honors
added to its already good name.
Evangeline Booth, Commander Of
the Salvation Army in the United
States, says: When people ask me
to what | attributed our success
in the war, have only one an
swer to give--it' was our prepared
ness" Commander Booth goes on
to say that for fifty years the Sal
walton Army has known nothing
but war-for that half century
have only gone where there was no
peace, all the days and nights hav.
ing been spent with broken and
wounded men. The claim is made
the the Salvation Army has had no
more success now than it has ever
habitat it has done nothing new,
nothing different, but that the
world has had its eyes opened by a
great war.
All honor to the Salvation Army.
Ask any returned soldier and if he
knows anything at all of the Sal
walton Army, he will speak with
the deepest regard for the faithful
men and women who dared all
sorts Of dangers, and came out of
the war without a single charge

had cast their fortunes; with the

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, April H.
One. Of the lmost wonderful singie

Gen. Pershing cabled this news

to our entrance into the war we
were spending in the United States
$100.000.000 a year on new school

in no wise supplying the need.
Hundreds of thousands of children
in the lower grades were on half
time attendance, and millions at
tended schools in houses wholly un-
suited to school use, according
to modern standards. For the two
years Of our participation in the
war schoolhouse building almost
ceased, and there are now both the
need Of 1915 and the accumulated
need of the two years of the war.

Of the times because Of the unprece-
dented shifting of population. In
view Of the part which popular ed
ucation must play in the new era,
there can be little or no objection
to any expenditures for building
that may be necessary for the full
efficiency of our school system.
