NOW BEING HARVESTED

The Colony has another big job on
its hands now, and will continue to
have TOT some time.
Ii IS sweet potato time" in COl5ny.
The work Of digging. picking. load-
ing. hauling. and unloading fifty acres
of sweet potatoes is the work in h nd.
The potatoes are being hauled to the
eyaporators. where they are beng
stored until needed.
In this manner the potatoes car be
kept over until spring without much
loss or expense.
A deal has been made whereby the
Colony trades carload Of sweet po-
tatoes for a carload Of Irish 'spulls.
and the Colony will have 10000
pounds Of "Paddys" to change oslts 10
once in while.
A sweet potato must be stored be-
fore frost, SO the necessity for quick
work will be apparent. They ri e
as high as 400 bushels per acre or
best land.

ENTERTAINMENT
SHORT AND SWEET

The entertainment at the Colony tie
ater Sunday night was one Of the
shortest on record. yet it was reporte /
good.
Fred Waters. who has just takea
charge Of the theater, told some funny
stories, (of which he is a veritable
storehouse) in his own funny way.
M. L. DeVine then acted the role
Of professor Of Esperanto in true
fashion, and many Of the root words
Of the easiest language to learn we're
explained by the professor on the
blackboard. Much interest was cre-
ated by his lesson.
The orchestra interspersed each
number with a suitable selection, also
playing an Introductory and closing
piece.
The sketch. "Gis Ia Revido' "a
comic Esperanto play in one act. cre-
ated much merriment because Of the
awkward situations when an American
travelling salesman got the suitcase Of
German lady Esperantist BY mistake
and could not understand each other.
The lesson Of the sketch was chat it
pays to learn Esperanto.

BRYAN SCORES DEM.
CONVENTION

Bryan declared that he knew moth
ing of any proposed conference of
Democrats to plan new Democratic
program.
The Democratic party is and has
been a progressive party" Bryan said.
THE San Francisco Convention did
not represent the rank and file of the
party. 1t was under a joint control
which had special interest other than
party platform.
This joint control represented three
things:
"Fmst-The vets who sought to
trade the constitution and ten com
mandments for beer with kick in it.
Second Wall Street.
Third-Idolators and office hold
ers."
'Under False Flag"
Bryan, explaining why he did moi
campaign for Governor Cox, said il
was because Cox and Harding evaded
the liquor question.
The vets were willing to concede
the Presidents platform for a candi-
date" he said in analyzing the causes
!of the Democrats defeat. "They
went before the country under false
flag.
Nov that defeat has overwhelmed
the Democratic party, its leaders must
plan for the next campaign by formu-
lating plans for protection Of the peo-
pit against exploitation.
In order that this may be worked
out at once, the treaty and the nation
part in the worlds peace must be set
tied at once so that the decks can be
cleared for world reform"

that could be spared went to help to
dig sweet potatoes. Comrade Kemp
is plowing them out and several Others
use forks to free them from the dirt,
while others pick them up and put
them IN crates; teams drive into the
field, pick up the crates Of potatoes
and haul them to the evaporator
where they are stored for drying and
safe keeping. This year we ate sweet
potatoes in August that were stores
away last fall. You potato growers
know that when digging time comes
the price goes down; you are forced
to sell, because you cannot keep them
through the winter; but after YOU
have sold your crop the price raises.
and later in the year you pay twice
as much for potatoes TO eat as YOU
sold yours for. Use the evaporator
and save your sweet potatoes. We
have room for 10000 bushels. Syn-
oground and Satnan finished the der
rick at the evapOrator and are now
building better foundation for the

tecting and the sun of Tammany broth
erhood dspelled the gathering clouds.
The Almiran Grand Jury decided to take
a wallop at the police system and brand
the Enright administration as snare
and a delusion. Did Mr.. Swami pro-
vide the Almirall Grand Jury with the
facts on which he based his characteri-
cation OF the Enrlght system as dirty,
rotten and unprincpled'? HE DID
NOT.
And then back in 1917 when the City
Clubs charges against District Attorney
Swami were being heard by George L.
Ingraham The Commissioner appointed
by Gov. Whitman to receive testimony !
Arthur Woods was then Police Commits
sioner and the late Guy Scull was hold
ing down the job Mr.. Lahey now graces.
The irascible Mr.. Swami suffered
cross-examination for some time during
that inquiry without giving vent to his
personal feelings. But finally, when
hard pressed. he burst out with a charge
that Mr.. Scull had assigned detectives,
who should have been criminal hunting,
to get the goods on the District Attor-
ney. Proof thereof would have meant
Mr.. Scull's removal But did Mr.. Swami
go further? Did he force Mr.. Sculrs re-
tiremert? HE DID NOT. Nothing
happened. Certainly 1t could not have
been because of any feeling of brother
hood between Mr.. Woods and Mr.. Swami.
And certainly there would have been no
Tammany tears had Mr.. Swami been
able to discredit the Mitchell administra-
ton by virtue OF exposing Irregularities
in the Police Department.
In the triangular foray between Mr..
Swami on one side and James A. Dele
hanty and Lucien S. Breckenridge on the
other (another phase of the inquiry into
the City Club charges), Henry G. Jessup,
for ten years police detective. testified
that Mr. Swami babe him go forth and
"get the goods on Breckenridge" through
one AL Wilson, a private detective. Jes-
sup said that Mr.. Swami had promised
him, through Assistant District Attorney
Markewich, to retract certain disparag-
ing bits of innuendo alleged TO have been
uttered by Swami against Jessup II the
latter would make good. Jessup says he
declined the mission.
The point, however, is that again noth-
ing happened. Mr.. Swami made no
great feature of 1t. The Police Depart
ment did not press the matter. 1t looked
like certain criminal charges. but -.
