A popular tree at Spartansburg, s.

Two Rivals of the "spud."

Two new vegetables have been
propagated at the Missouri botanical
garden at st. Louis, it was announced
by DR.. George T. Moore, director Of the
garden.
One has been named the "arraca-
cha" and the other the "dasheen."
Both resemble the potato and are said
to be about equal in food value to 1t.
Doctor Moore explained the arraca-
cha, when cooked, is bit darker than
the sweet potato and tastes like the
parsnip. 1t is rapid grower, he said.
Dasheens, cooked in cream, taste
like caulif1ower, and when baked have
the flavor of a roasted chestnut. Doc
tor Moore amplified. They are related
to the Egyptian taro, commonly refer
red to as the elephant ear" Doctor
Moore said.
The announcement was made to del
egates who attended the convention Of
the American Association for the Ad
vancement of Science, which ended
recently.

WORLDS GREAT DEBT TO OIL
as Iluminant, Fuel and Lubricant, 1t

1t Is go years since the first Oil well

augurating the era of oil. The diScOv-
cry was at once recognized as possess
Ing great value, but there could have
been but a slight appreciation of the
mammoth proportions to which the in
dustry was destined to grow. Hailed
as an illuminant supplanting candles
and whale oil, the business has
widened beyond any possible dreams
Of those who were active in the early
days Of oil. The center Of the industry
has long since departed from the place
Of Its origin. The southwest and the
Pacific coast, almost unknown lands in
the infancy Of the business, now pro-
duce thousands of barrels to the orig
tnal oil regions one. Oil is still used
as an illuminant on millions Of farms
and In isolated places all over the
world, but that is no longer the chief
product of crude. Gasoline, at first
troublesome by-product, Is now the
main result sought. The millions of

into existence in, the past score OF
years would not have been possible
had we not had this desirable product
to provide an explosive to drive them.
Vast quantities of the crude product
are used to drive locomotives and
ships. The war might not have been
won had not the allies had access to
the fields of Mexico. and the United
States. And not only as fuel does the
greasy product enter into the worlds
commerce, but as lubricant it lessons
the friction Of bearings, from the sew
ing machines to steamships. The by
products even enter the realms of med
fcine, and while the limit would seem
to be reached in utilizing the waste
from the refneries, it is possible that
further subdivisions may yet increase
the number. The story of oil is ro-
nance that equals the tale Of steel,
yet it is an infant in point Of time COM
pared with the metal that has brought
such wealth to Pennsylvania.-Pitts

Berlin.-Mathias Erzberger, the min
lister of finance, was wounded by a
shot fired at him. Herr Erzberger was
shot as he was leaving the criminal
courts building after hearing in the
Helfferich libel suit. Only one shot
struck the minister, who was slightly
wounded in the shoulder His assail-
ant, who gave his name as Oltwig Won
Hirschfeld, was arrested.
Won Hirschfeld is a former cadet Of
ficer
The assailant of the finance minis
ter was seized by the police and taken
to a police station, where his name
was discovered He is 20 years old
and now is student living in suburb
Of Berlin with his parents. His ia
ther is bank official.
Herr Erzberger was engaged in con-
versation with his solicitor, DR.. Fried
lander, outside the criminal court
when his assailant, well-dressed
young man, approached and fired re-
volver at the finance minister.
Matthias Erzberger, for many years
leader of the German center party, is
one of the most prominent figures in
German public life During the war
he was a strong supporter of the gov
ernment in general, but because of his
activities with regard to the ReichStag
peace move in July, 1917, Dr. Kari
Helfferich, former vice chancellor, ac-
cused Herr Erzberger of high treason
He was a member of the German
armistice delegation sent to Marshal
Foch's headquarters and continued
acting for Germany in various negO-
tiatiOns over the armistice terms after
the truce had gone into effect. When
the peace treaty was submitted by the
allies he favored the signing of it by
Germany.
When the Bauer cabinet was formed
in June, 1919, Herr ErZberger was ap-
pointed vice premier and minister Of
finance
