The sweet potato may soon be a
much more common vegetable in our
markets than heretofore. Its season has
been restricted by the difficulty OF
keeping 1t for any length of time In
storage. Unlike the white potato, 1t
began to deteriorate as soon as 1t
came out of the ground.
This trouble is understood to have
been overcome by new methods Of
curing. and plants specially designed
for the storage of sweet potatoes have
recently been established at many
points in the South.
Improved and much sweeter varie-
ties have been developed, and cam
paign is being organized to promote
the marketing of better sweet pota-
toes on a greater scale all over the
country.
The sweet potato, of course, is not
really a potato at all, but a kind OF
yam. 1t is, like the so-called Irish"
potato, an American vegetable by
origin.

AGHOST" IN NO MANS LAND
Germans Thought They Were Listen
Ing to Unearthly Visitor, but II
Was Clever Propaganda.

The only direct propaganda raid for
which the American army had oppor-
tunity before the armistice was
planned and carried out on the Metz
front by Capt. h. e. Osann, an officer
Of Belgian descent who was familiar
with the German army, says Mr.. He
Der Blankenhorn in Harper's Maya
zine.
This is my funeral" Capt. Osann
said when he explained his scheme.
"All l want is 10000 leaflets. That
division is full of Alsace-Lorrainers
and l know the names of scores OF
men in 1t. Wen drop special leaflets
on them for a few days, and after
they have soaked in I'll take a patrol
some night and go up to their wire
and call, Don't shoot! I'm not going
to shoot. Is Fritz Schneider there? l
want to talk to him. Where is Willy
Lis6mapny : qs~"'
you'll get a prompt answer from
machine guns" I observed.
"Oh, yes, but only a burst or two"
Osann said. They'll miss, and there'n
be a pause, and I'll call more names.
If get somebody out there to argue
with, I'll send him back to bring his
whole battalio9 over"
We showered them with Osann's
leaflets in French and German, adj
dressed to Alsace-L orrainers- simple
statements Of what the victory of one
side or the other would mean to them.
Then on a quiet night Osann and
patrol of II stole along the railway
that ran into the enemy's lines before
Dampvitoux. Alone, he made his way
within 80 yards of an observation post
on the edge of a wired woods and
boldly set up his call. There was not
| even q shot. Aften ten minutes he
began again, 'Men Of the Sixty-First
regiment, listen!" Then the patrol be-
hind him began to hear voices; in the
Boche trench a cultural but earnest
discussion was going on.
i Again Osann shouted names he
knew; in the silence the whole patrol
could hear the footsteps Of man
walking along the railway track to-
ward Osann, but he ran back and
Osann had to come away.
A few days later we took prisoners
on that front, and every man had
copies of the Alsace-Lorraine leafiet
In his pockets. When we asked II
they had noticed anything recently in
No Mans land at night, they an
swered, "You mean the ghostT A
ghost, they said, had been heard CALI
ing soldiers by name. Their officers
had made a report of the ghost to the
KommandO.

have issued orders about it: Tin fu-
ture ghosts viii be met with five
rounds of NJ G. fire; angel with ten"

THE COTTON SITUATION

Little Rock, Sept. 17.-From 100
selected reports dated as of Septem-
her IS, from all parts of the state,
we find that from August 10 to
Seutember 10 the deterioration was
eopal almost to a calamity, caused
by too much rain, too much stalk,
and too much foliage and great &C
tiyix of pests, principally boil wee

late.
The average percentage condition
is 6l.3 as against 76 August 10.
Fruiting: For the period ~ per
cent report good; az per cent aver
age; % poor.
Shedding: But IL per cent report
little or no shedding. This includes
boil rotting. Much of the heavy
fruiting near the ground has been
lost because of too much wet and
too much shade.
Pests: But 35 per cent of Ar

the blow of the wrecker's hammer is
the victory hut in COblenz.
This hut was built to provide an
adequate eating place for the soldiers
coming in from the various bridge
heads. A corps of civilian workers
were kept busy preparing and serving
the food for the 1000 men who were
fed there each day. At first the en-
tire building was used as a cafeteria,
but when the most of the divisions
had gone home and the A. e. #. be-
came the A. r. G., half of the build
ing was converted into a wet canteen
for the service of light lunches, ice
cream. etc, and the other side was
still used as the cafeteria.
November 5, last year, a heavy snow
storm came near ending the career of
the hut. The weight of snow on the
roof was so great that the main pill
lars bnckled and distorted the floor to
such an extent that the authorities
questioned the ACCESSIBILITY of making
the necessary repairs. The demand
for a skating rink, however, was so In
sistent that after much discussion the
building was altered and the athletic
enthusiasts, as well as the skating en-
thusiasts used the building during
the winter.-From the Stars and
Stripes.

SHOULD NOT VACCINATE
IN NON-INFESTED AREAS

Owners of live stock in Arkansas
are advised, by the office of the
State Veterinarian, not to vaccinate
against anthrax unless it is known
that there is immediate danger from
the disease.
In some instances vaccination
against anthrax has been started in
the state where the disease did not
exist. This should not occur as the
vaccination does not give long i'm
munity and the careless and pro-
miscuous use of the anthrax spore
is apt to start the disease. An Ar
kansas state regulation prohibits the
use of the anthrax spore in areas
not known to be infested with the
disease.

A visitor to Stuttgart who had
spent some time in the coffee grow
ing sections of Brazil, found the
soil and climate conditions of the
Grand prairie similar to those of
Brazil and suggested that coffee
growing be tried in Arkansas. 1t
is not known whether the expert
ment will be tried. The coffee
plant is said to be of slow growth,
but yields abundantly when it is

The Most Welcome Tire
That Ever Came to Market
Men Who Appreciate S7erla0e Values Prefer The BunsUck

In every great tire factory, the
chief question is: How much can
we give for the money!" And the
product depends on the policy
adopted.
Every man who has become ac-
quainted with Brunswick Tires
knows that Brunswick standards
are again evident. This famous con-
Germ noted as leader in every
line it entered since 1s45-has once
more proved that its policy is right.
"A perfect tire is simply a matter
of knowledge and standards and
skill. No secrets nor patents pre-
vent making an ideal tire.
But standards come first. For In
tire making there is vast room for
skir1ping, for subtle economies, for
hidden shortcomings. Makers with
out the highest standards don't
build high-grade tires.
The Brunswick organization of
tire makers includes a brilliant staff
of technical experts. Not a man

among them has spent less than
20 years in handling rubber.
Each is master of his CRATE.
And the new ideas they bring to
the attention of Brunswick direc-
tors receive sincere consideration.
Every proved betterment is
adopted unanimously
The Brunswick Tire is a combi-
nation of acknowledged features
plus Brunswick standards of manu.
facture.
The result is a super-tire, the like
of which you have never known be-
fore. The kind of a tire you win
gladly join in welcoming.
Yet Brunswicks cost no more
than ike-type tires.
Try ONE Brunswick. We prom
Use surprise. And we feel certain
that you will want ALL Bruns-
wicks.
Then good tires will have a new
meaning to you.
