PREFACE

The Light In the Clearing shone upon
many things and mostly upon those
which, above all others. have impassioned
and perpetuated the Spirit of America
and which. just now, seem to me TO be
worthy OF attention. / believe that spirit
TO be the very candle OF the Lord which,
In this dark and windy night Of time, has
fickered so that the souls of the faithful
have been afraid. But let us be OF good

Mrs. Sears has exhibited the potatoes to a number of friends, who have eX-
pressed the proper amount If surprise and qualification at the result of her
summers work.
The red is the Early Rose, familiar to every grower of spuds within the
last half century.
The white is what is known a s the Burbank potato, and is a clean.
skinned, very light variety that fully bears out the designation of white.
But for the blue potato Mrs. Sears does lot have any name She says that's
1t was called "just blue" to her when she got the tubers which she planted.
and that is all the name she knows for it. But 1t is a decided blue in color.

waste Of life when we consider that
tuberculosis is classed as a prevent.

loss OF life occurs almost entirely in
the ranks Of the young adult popula-

over have come to consider the con-

pressing health problem confronting
them. Every year the National Tu-
