Store Sweet Potatoes for High Prices.

| have had some experience in grow
ing sweet potatoes and l find that
they, like most other farm commodi-
ties, have their season for selling.
That is, there is season when the
demand is greater and the price bet
ter than at other seasons of the year.
This selling season runs from jan
uary / to April 1, and the grower who
undertakes to keep them until then
without a house built especially for
that purpose will find the loss from
rot too great for him to derive a
profit from growing them. And yet,
if they are properly cared for, there
is no other farm commodity that will
afford the grower better pay for his
labor than a crop of the right varie-
ties of sweet potatoes.
They are easily cultivated, will
yield from 125 to $50 bushels to the
acre, and sell at the proper season at
from $1.25 to s1.50 bushel, and
sometimes twice that price.
Sweet potatoes should never be dug
except when the ground is perfectly
dry. Avoid skinning, soaring and
breaking in digging and handling
them, and do not let them lie out in
the sunshine too long. The best plan
is to dig no more in the morning than
can be taken up in the afternoon.
The dirt should be brushed from the
potatoes and they should be stored
away in the potato house as they are
carried away from the field, so as to
avoid handling them too often. After
they are stored away in the house or
elsewhere they should not be dis
turbed until they have passed through
the sweat, which will take from Is to
90 days.
A perforated tube should pass
through the bins the long way, so
that fresh air can be given each small
division of the long bin, thus prevent
ing overheating anywhere in the build
ing. When the weather gets very
cold the tube can be stopped up.
One other essential is thermom- !
eter. Without this instrument it is
all guesswork. The atmosphere in
the house should be kept at about so
degrees through the winter and 80 to
100 degrees while the potato is going
through its sweat. The potatoes
should be kept perfectly dry and free
from dirt at all times.
If these simple rules are observed
in caring for the sweet potato crop,
the loss from rot will be very small
indeed.-D. "A. Walker, in The Pro-,
gressive Farmer.

Alaskan Attorney Sizes Up Political Situation in California and
 Washington While South

After having been at San Fran cisco, representing case before he t.ppelate Court, H. L. Faulkner, prlm- inent Alaskan attorney, returned here yesterday on the CitJ of @r1ttle.
 Mr. Faulkner, shIe in Califoriii4, Washington and Oregon found that part cf the cou.iltv con5aerab bl.. stirred up over politics lE WasLin ; ton he said the sentimen, seemed to be for no particular man as the Republican nominee for the n;csiden, but united against Hiram W. Johns )n. In California. everything was for Johnson. His opinion is that Will jam G. McAdoo will be the nominee of the Democratic convention.
 Asked today how the result of the Alaska primary election suited him MT. Faulkner said "The Alaskan nominations of Republicans, think, ore all good with the exception of that for the office of Attorney Gen eral. It is my opinion that that of flee should be abolished as the money expended is wasted"
 Mir Faulkner said he saw Earl C. Jameson. formerly of The Empire. Jameson has recovered from his ill- ness and is working for the Seattle Alaska Dispatch. Mrs. Faulkner is visiting in California and will re- turn here in about two weeks.

HAvE.DARK HAIR
 AND LOOK YOUNG
NOBODY GAN TELL WHEN YOU DARKEN GRAY. FADED HAIR
 WITH SAGE TEA

Grandmother kept her hair beau tifully darkened, glossy and attrae. tive with a brew of Sage Tea and 'ulphur. Whenever her hair took pn that dull, faded or streaked ap- pearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By
 skiing at any drug store for 'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound," you will get large bottle # this old-time recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients all ready to use, at very little cost This simple mixture can be depend ed upon to restore natural color and beauty to he hair.
 A well-known downtown drug ,ist says everybody uses Wyeth' s Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied its so easy to use, too. You simply dampen comb or soft brush and draw it through your bair,, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disap- pears after another application or two, it is restored to it's natural color and looks glossy. soft and beautiful. Advertisement.

-FOUR million men are under arms and
fighting in Europe and the near East.
All the powers who were involved in
the world war, except the United
States, are lighting on European or
Asiatic fronts The real ''scrap of
paper" today is the Versailles treaty
and the league of nations pact Eng
land, France, Italy and Japan are wag-
ing war to hold what they voted them
selves in territory and influence at the
peace conference. The United States
entered the great war under banner
inscribed ga war to end war-a war to
make the world safe for democracy;
but the peace treaty had written across
its field, "a peace to make imperialism
safe in the world" Things are not
going we'll over there, and the imper-
ialist nations are seeing red Austria
is asking to raise an army to fight Rus
STA; Hindenburg of Germany is promis-
ing to furnish an army of one million
Germans to stem the tide of the on
rushing bolshevik ocean of fighting
men. France and England are hurry
ing material by land and sea to supply
the hard pressed Polish army. With
notes and conferences the statesmen of
Europe are playing the game of diplo-
matte sharpers, while the internal af-
fairs in their respective homelands are
crying for their attention. The tangle
is hopeless, and European statesmen
are either too insincere or too incom-
petent to unravel it. In their confusion
and hypocrisy they throw the blame on
the q. S. for their troubles. They in
sinuate that by refusing to accept the
froo kx1 nd thn Of
covenant, and withdrawing our armies
from Europe, our nation has committed
the crime of refusing to defend the
loot of the imperialist powers. And
now they paint to us the most awful
they should fail to uphold the Infamous
contract written at Versailles. They
are trying by cajoling, promises, threats
and propaganda to tease and even to
brighten Uncle Sam into participation
with them in this present conflict. en-
deavoring at the same time to cover up
their own selfish aims by pointing their
fingers at our nation, accusing it of
selfshness, because it refuses to be
fooled or frightened into position
where it would have to fight their bat
ties. In defense of honor, to uphold
JuSClce ana HDeFIy, anu TO QeIenQ the
weak the United States will fight, and
fight without thought of it's own inter-
ests, but it will not fight to save ty-
ranies no matter of what sort, nor in
what plight these find themselves. Our
republic will not be the catspaw of the
European politicians to save their burn
ing chestnuts at this nor at any time.
We are not ''too proud to fight" but
we are too proud to fight on the side of
oppression and bad faith.

If THE coal mines and the railroads
are to continue under private owner
ship and operation they will have to do
better than they have been doing since
the government released its direction
of them. The present situation needs
no radical agitators to tell the people
that the private owners are failing mis-
erably in their task of supplying the
service needed. The mine owners and
the railroad corporations are daily sup
plying the country with arguments
against their efficiency patriotism and
spirit of fairness. The people need
coal and transportation, and they are
not getting it. They have right to
fair prices, but the worse the service,
the higher the cost. If the public can
not get the service under the present
management, and get it at fair price,
things may develop that will put pri-
vate control and ownership of utilities
of public nature decidedly on the de-
fensive.
