TREAT SEED IRISH POTATOES
 BEFORE PLANTING THEM

Now that gardening and general spring planting is at hand short discussion of diseases of the Irish po- 1, tato should be worth while, especially ! in view of the fact that such diseases are now causing the loss of millions of dollars to potato growers where the crop is grown commercially. Some of these are infectious and will infect the soil to the extent that potatoes cannot be grown successfully for sev- eral years. .
 There are two classes of diseases to consider. First, we must recognize those which can be controlled by in- lection of the seed tubers. The most prevalent of these is to potato scab which pits the surface of the tuber with rough brownish scars As prac- tically all the troubles amenable to treatment of the seed are controlled by the same treatment we will now pass to the necessary treatment: Dis solve one ounces corrosive sublinrate in half gallon of hot water and add seven and one half gallons of cold water. Soak the potatoes in this solution for 30 minutes; then remove them and rinse in clean water. This solution being deadly poison should |abe kept away from children and all animals. Use the solution only once. A wooden or stone vessel should be used to make this solution as it cor rodes metal.
 Other diseases are to be watched for in cutting the potatoes for plant ing Use two knives with glass of
 water in which you have put table spoonful of farmaldehyde. Keep one knife in this glass and when you find a potato with any discoloration under the skin put the knife used in cutting
 the potato into the glass, using the ether knife until you find another such potato. Clip off the stem end of the potato first If dark or other discoloration is seen discard the entire potato and change knives. If you will follow these instructions and use only good, large seed potatoes you should have healthy, vigorous vines and potatoes in your garden this year.
 Other problems of fertilization and cultivation will be discussed later c. H. TOMAS,

WILL SEARCH WORLD
 FOR SCARLET RIDERS

Vancouver, G., Feb. 22.-The world is to be searched by officials of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police to locate former members of the Scar let Riders and bring them back to the fold
 When the European war broke out, the mounted police were not permit- ted to enlist as unit AS a conse- quence, some of the men disappear ed" and were not heard from until they distinguished themselves on the battlefields. Later unit of the ''mounties" was accepted for service. Many of Canada's famous patrol saw service during the closing months of the war.
 More than a mouth ago plans for re- organization of the organization were officially announced. The territory patrOlled is to be broadened and air, planes used in reaching regions far north of the last thin line ol clvliss ation.
 Investigation has just disclosed that some of the best known Scarlet Riders have not returned to Canada Some are in the Holy Land; others drifted to Africa, Australia and the Orient. Offi- ,cials believe that the call of. the old life will soon prove irresistible, but they also fear that some of the men will not have sufficient funds to re- turn to Canada by spring. Therefore, the government intends to send broad cast notices that the nation wants it's Scarlet Riders back, and will do it's share to bring them home.

CHAPTER WILL Be

CHARTER HAS ARRIVED AND
MEETING WILL BE HELD
NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT To
ELECT OFFICERS AND FORM
ULATE PLANS FOR oRGANl-
ZATION.
ns on tbe heodouarters of the

For the purpose of organizing
these who were in service during the
great struggle into a Palatka Post
of the American Legion, a meeting
will be held at the court house Fri
day evening at $3.50 o'clock. "A
charter for the Palatka Post has ar
s of Florida.
All soldiers, sailors. red cross
nurses or others actively enlisted IN
the military forces during the war;
are urged to be present. In addl-
tion to the organization of the post
it is important that some action be
taken on he question of bonus for
service men, so that report can
be made to the national convention
The national convention OF the
American Legion will be held at
Minneapolis on November 10, II and
10 at which time the one absorb
ing question of bonuses will be tax
en- up.
Thirty-six bonus bills have been in,
troduced in Congress to date. What
ever action Congress takes in regard
to these measures will depend very
largely, if not entirely, upon the ma
tional convention at Minneapolis
Among the things to be acted upor
here at the national convention vii
he the following: The establish
ment of the permanency of the Amer
lean Legion, and the announcement
of a future course along the lines
laid down at St. Louis and Paris
as artifed or modified bythemember'
of the organization. This will in
tvolve the election of permanent OF
ficers: the adoption of permanen
policies of organization, down
through the state branches and tn
local posts; methods of routine pro
cedure: membership questions OF el
igibility and transfer, and momen
clature of post, state and national OF
ficers; location of national heao
quarters, and other matters of o'
ganization detail now held in abey
, ance. The convention will have tn
, far-reaching task of declaring the Il
t gion's policy with regard to nations
a issues, in which the welfare of tn
country and the welfare of the gre'

war veterans are intermingled.
All of these great questions Will
have to be decided on a strictly non
political and non-partisan basis. The
act of Congress chartering the Amer
lean Legion provides that the legion
shall not promote the candicay OF
any one for public office.
The American Legion has been de-
clared by a newspaper editor to be
"the most important and potentially
powerful institution in the history OF
the republic" Active state branch
es have been established in every
state in the Union. Local posts have
been organized in more than five
thousand communities. When the
convention convenes in Minneapolis
on Nov. 10, the membership of the
American Legion will exceed one
million.
Other matters of serious impor
tance to both the country and eX
soldiers, that will come before tn
Minneapolis convention, will be; tn
future military policy of the Unite
States, educational facilities for eN
service men and women, the future o
war risk insurance, and soldiers
