English Dandies Played for High
Stakes in the Latter Part of

Almack's was one of the famous OLD
gambling clubs of London. 1t was at
its height in the latter part of the
Eighteenth century, and the play there
was enormous. 1t was not uncommon
for the losses in single night to
amount to upwards of 100000
The young men, dandies all, who in
tended to play set about the matter
with a great deal of ceremony. They
wore straw hats with wide brims,
flower and ribbon trimmed; the brims
intended to keep the light from their
ewes. and that the spectators might
not see their emotions they often wore
masks. They also often took of their
ruffies and silk or satin coats and wore

AT each players side was small
table that held their tea, wine cakes
and rolls of rouleaus or chips. MOST
of the players wore long curls, eye
glasses mounted on long sticks, were
perfumed, powdered and painted like
court ladies, and some of them even
affected a mincing ladylike walk. But
those who made the error Of thinking
them ladylike in their fighting ability

SWEET POTATO HOUSE.

We are not only assured of a twen-
ty thousand bushel house, but we
have in prospect Wells improved
system OF curing sweet potatoes. BY
this system n powerful fan drives q
current of air of not more than sew
enty five degrees through the pota-
toes in crates. They are better cured
than in the ordinary government
house and they are said to reach des-
tination at northern markets in prime
condition. l have copy of n letter
written by Mr.. Herbert Hoover while
in France saying he had received
some Texas yamS in fiEe condition.
These potatoes were taken from q
Wells curing house at Long View,
Texas, nine months before he re-
cciyed them. have seen many tes-
timonials stating that under this sys-
tenn OF curing, potatoes were free
from rot. had better flavor. and car
ried to distant markets better than
in the ordinary government house.
We are determined to give Dillon
the best potato curing house that
money can build We believe that we
are going to make a success of grow
ing and selling yams-pure Porto
Rico's. We wish every one desiring
t. ship potatoes to plant only one
variety-Porto Rico. II your seed
stock is not pure best get some GER
titled plants for immediate shipment.
Since large acreage is to be planted
do not wait on your neighbor eX-
pecting to get some vine cuttings free
of charge. Your neighbor may need
all vine cuttings available for himself
and tenants. Potatoes should be
planted before June the twentieth, so
as to allow them TO mature before
digging. Immature potatoes will not
keep it frost bitten. If we dig and
keep if frost bitten. If we did and
store twenty thousand bushels OF po-
tatoes in Dillon we need to begin dig
ging by October the fifteenth. If a
potato is mature broken or cut sur
face will dry into clean surface in
Il few hours. II immature the cut
surface will have q gum poured out
and when il dries there will remoin
a dark surface.
Vine cuttings can be planted as
late as July fifteenth with fair ex-
pectation of making slips for bed
ding. But if one expects to produce
from one to two hundred bushels OF
potatoes that will grade number one
and two-the only grades that should
ever be shipped-tlre planting should
be complete by June the twentieth.
Over sized potatoes known as jun
bo's and small potatoes can be used
on the farm for both man and beast.
We expect to provide crates so
each farmer can grade his own crop
IN the field and haul them to curing
house without further handling. We
expect to employ a competent man
to look after grading and storing the
crop We hope our potato expert can
visit each grower in this section by
October first. If you grow pure Porto
Rico stock using plenty of phosphates
and potash in your fertilizer to in
sure keeping qualities we will do our
best to cure them so as to reach mar
ket in the best condition.
