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 it.
Doctor Moore explained the arraca-
cha, when cooked, is bit darker than
the sweet potato and tastes like the
parsnip. 1t is a rapid grower, he said.
Dasheens, cooked in cream, taste
like caulifower, and when baked have
the flavor of a roasted chestnut. Doc
tor Moore amplifed. They are related
to the Egyptian taro, commonly refer
red to as the Elephant ear" Doctor
Moore said.
The announcement was made to DEL
esates who attended the convention OF
the American Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Science, which ended
recently.

SEEK FOR TRADE IN ARCTIC
Boston Capitalists Form Organization
Something Like the Famous
Hudson's Bay Company.

Word has just come out Of the North
Of rival to the Hudson's Bay COM
pany that has sprung up. 1t is an Or
ganization backed by Boston interests
and it's aim is to get a share Of the
trade that the "Ancient and Honorable
Association of Adventures" has mo-
nopolized for over century. Last
spring Capt. Louis Lane of Nome,
Alaska, was sent into the Arctic to es-
tablish string of % trading posts for
the Boston body.
The expedition went into the North
via Calgary, Alberta, with eight car
loads of goods, of an estimated value
of $240,000 In addition to this they
sent in a river power boat for opera
ton on the Mackenzie river. The yes
Sci was sent in sections and assembled
on the big river. The party worked
slowly down the river, canvassing and
exploring among the tribes and only
reached Fort Macpherson when winter
came. They will stay there until spring
opens the river and allows them to
proceed further. The company intends
locating it's posts by the pioneering
party, and will then keep them sup
piled by means of ships from Nome
during the short summer.

IndomitabIe CheerfuIneSS.

That a man can remain cheerful
though imprisoned for crime he did
not commit is proved by some of the
letters that Mr.. o. Henry wrote to his
little girl while he was serving his
unjust sentence. They are quoted in
the Boston Globe.
''Hello, Margaret!'': says one playful
missive. 'sDon't you remember me?
My name is Observation-Disclosures
pohokus. If you see star shoot and
say my name II times before it goes
out you will find diamond ring in the
track of the first blue cows foot you
see 20 down the road in snowstorm
while the red roses are blooming on
the tomato vines. Good-by! I've got
to take a ride on grasshopper."
Again he wrote: 81 hope your watch
runs all right. When you write again
be sure to look at it and tell me what
time it is, so I won't have to get up
and look at the clock And in. an
other note: ssBe careful when you are
on the street not to feed shucks to
strange dogs or pat snakes on the
head or shake hands with cats you
haven't been introduced to or stroke
the noses of electric car horses"

HERE TO REPRESENT PERU
Freder8co A. Pezet Is the First AM
bassador From That Country in
the United States.

Peru has been added to the list of
Latin-American states maintaining en-
bassies in Washington, states the New
York Tribune. The first ambassador,
FREDERICK A. Pezet, has arrived in this
country and the state department
seems inclined to annul for his benefit
Its famous Costa Rican 'hOuse rule"
to the effect that no diplomatic recog-
milton can be given to a Latin-Ameri-
can government coming into power
through revolution. President Leguia
assumed control in Lima by force last
year and exiled his predecessor, doing
so on the ground that he has been
elected president by the people for a
term to begin a few months later and
that the administration in Office was
planning to count him out. d..
Mr.. Pezet will be welcomed as the
representative of Peru, a state which
has always had the most friendly rela-
tions with the United States. He
served here formerly both as first Sec
retary of legation and as minister. He
knows this country thoroughly, speaks
English as we'll as he does Spanish
and enjoys in an exceptional degree
the esteem Of government and other
circles in Washington, in which he has
long been at home.

Since our soldiers in the early days
Of American occupation held their first

natives Of the islands have taken an
active interest in many forms Of ath-

was created that deep general in

Made Good Use Of Hairpin.

DR.. Arnold K. Henry of Dublin, who
was a surgeon with the British expedi-
tionary forces in France, relates in a
letter to the Lancet several instances
of using hairpin when called upon
to perform an operation without the
proper tools. In one case he horrifed
the mother superior Of a French con-
vent by using a common hairpin, bent
as retractor for an eyelid. In another
he extracted with it a foreign body
from the ear, which Swinging had fall
ed to remove. Once when he had to
perform tracheotomy on baby, With
no instrument but knife, he bor-
rowed hairpin. bent it, inserted it
into the wound in the throat and util-
ized the projecting ends as attach
ments for tapes around the neck.

WORLDS GREAT DEBT TO OIL
As iIluminant, Fuel and Lubricant, 1t
ls indispensable to the Prog
ress Of Mankind.

1t is 80 years since the first oil we'll
was drilled in Pennsylvania, thus in
augurating the era of oil. The dlScov-
cry was at once recognized as possess
ing great value, but there could nave
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 it's 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
inal 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 a
troublesome by-product, is now the
main result sought. The millions of
motor-driven vehicles that have come
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
icine, 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 a ro-
nance that equals the tale of steel,
vet it is an infant in point of time COM
pared with the metal that has brought
such wealth to Pennsylvania.-Pitts-
burgh Gazette-Times.
