Pittsburg Negro,
Bold and Versatile,
Is Freed From Pen

William Maxwell, a Pittsburg ne

thirty days in the Atlanta federal
prison for counterfeiting, was CIV
en- his release Tuesday, and was start
ed happily on his way home in a new
suit of clothes, with railroad tick
ct to Pitt, and ten dollars in real
money.
At the penitentiary Maxwell was
regarded as the boldest and most
versatile prisoner ever confined here.
He demonstrated both when he set
up small distillery in the prison
last summer and began to manufac-
ture moonshine at a rapid rate. This
was disclosed Tuesday when a depu-
ty marshal went to the prison to es-
cort Maxwell to the United States
commissioner to complete his dis
charge papers.
Maxwell smiled and admitted he
would have been set at liberty thir-
ty days earlier If he had not taken
a crack at the dry law during his
term Of Imprisonment.
"It looks mighty queer on the out
SIDE" said Maxwell at the federal
building Tuesday, one hour after he
had discarded the prison garb Of con-
vict No. 1888 and donned the dull
gray suit Of civilian clothing pre-
sented to him by Warden Zerbst.

gin life anew on the first of the new

Sweet Potatoes
Can Be Kept Easily;
Here's One Method

Editor of The Journal: In two re-

farmers who have grown the sweet
potato for commercial purposes
Unless a ready and profitable mar
ket can be obtained for perishable
crops like fruit and vegetables,
someone looses and encouragement
is sure to be experienced. To bank
the sweet potato for preservation Is
a mere subterfuge and often results
in disappointment. The curing
houses are better, but if they are
not managed scientifically or COR
rectly, serious loss follows.
Sweet potatoes can be preserved
in perfect condition if you will in
woke the aid of nature. What is that
you say? Leave the potatoes I'M
disturbed in the row in which they
are grown and just before winter sets

throw enough earth on the row to
will keep perfectly through the win
ter. 1t is necessary to grow them
in wide rows or dig every other row
if grown in the usual width rows.
This will give you enough earth to
cover perfectly the remaining rows.
When the warm trade winds Of
March begin to blow dig your po-
tatoes, assert and place in crates,
have your market ready and move
them out. Just keep from freezing
and hogs and you will be delighted
with the cheap and perfect manner
in which the potatoes are kept.

New Endurance Record
In Flight Attempted
By Two Aviators

MINEOLA, L. l., Dec. 21.-An at
tempt was made at Mitchell field to-
day by Lieutenant Ross C. Kirkpat-
rick and Max Goodnough, a mechani-
clan, to break the world endurance
flight record.
The army men started their flight
at 1880 a. M, in a ten-passenger Cur
tiss Eagle airplane. They hoped to
remain in the air 35 hours. The
present record, "a hours and ten
minutes. was made in England, in
1914.
The aviators, who were to alter
nate in driving through a system Of
dual control, planned to maintain an
average of 1000 feet Should repairs
become necessary they proposed to as
cend to 5000 feet and start glide.
From this height it would ordinari-
ly require Is or 20 minutes to reach
the ground, and it was believed re-
pairs could be made in that time.

cent flight to Nome, Alaska, and re-
