New sweet Potato
Ninety days from the planting OF
- Gins ]. P. Crumley, former Oh
Grand Island, was eating a new brand
= sweet potato that promises great
things in Florida.
Two years ago Mr.. Crumley plant
rumber of varieties Of sweet po-
tatoes ii a small patch, and from the
saed Of the product he has evolved q
swaet potato that is prolific, grows TO
large size, and is most delicious
cooked IN anf manner. 1t is firm, ex-
ceedingly sweet, and in his first crop
81 forty bushels there were no blem-
;sbas Samples left with 2. F. De-
push the agricultural agent, weigh
q axcess Of six pounds each, as firm
- Lad Mr.. DeBush is SO interested
IN the potato that he is to make q re-
cord of its inception and carry on ex-
,,orimenfs this season along with Mr..
crumley and furnish the data to the
state government. Mr.. Crumley has
named his sweet potato the New Gem
and hopes to have $4,000 or more
slips for distribution this year-Eus-

Why Quit the Hog Business?
Scores and scores of farmers thru
out Florida, as well as elsewhere, are
getting out of the hog and pork bust
ness, quitting, selling out for any
price and walking off. The feeling
seems to prevail among hogmen that,
unless they sell at once, their stock
and property will have gone even
further down the scale of values, and
that they have just simply go to get
out at once,
To those livestock men a warning
Il sounded. Already the number OF
hogs in Florida is less than it was
a year ago by $4,000, and in the Unit
ed States there were on January / a
reduction from January /, 1920, of s.
O7S,OOO hogs. Have we any indica-
ton of any such reduction in the
number Of people in Florida or the
United States? The cry Of the hum
cry and starving still comes from Ar
menia and Austria and Germany and
italy.
All of our people and the hordes
of Europe are not going to lose their
pork teeth just because fewer hogs
are raised. Rather, they are going

of Kansas City, which he visualized
in 1900 when he decided TO live there.
Since then he has organized the Kan

In every movement for the advance

During the World war he was given
the immense task of organizing the

service was not enough for him when
his country was involved in a war.

AFTER THE FAKE PROMOTERS
American Legion on Watch to Detect
and Expose Organizations Victim
ling Ex-service Men.

The harpies who prey on public
sympathy and the vampires who at
taeh themselves to every legitimate
and worthy campaign for the relief of
human distress. have been flying In
fiocks behind the trudging army OF job
hunting ex-serylee men. The police
courts are revealing the sordid opera
tfons of scores Of avaricious persons
who have been conducting money-ra' s.
ing campaigns on a get-rich-Quick ba-
SIS, on the pretense of assisting unem-
ployed World war veterans. Some of
these fiy-by-night promoters have
formed large organizations, using as
dupes veterans who are, themselves,
honest, but have been induced by ur-
gent need to grasp at the straw of q
Job which the swindler bangles before
them.
Behind a shield of pIausibility, the
promoter sends his money solicitors
out upon the public. Needless to say,
little Of the money raised actually is
used to assist the unemployed ex-

care TO see that his account books. If
he keeps any, never record the full
amounts which have been extracted
from the sympathetic public And If
he makes a pretense of accounting for
the way the money is expended, this
accounting is only a clever construc-
ton of falsities, intended to protect
the promoter, If he is made the SUBJ
Ject OF inquiry by public officials. The
system by which he operates precludes
honesty.
These swindlers often copy the
names and methods of organizations
which are legitimate and have repu-
table sponsors. The names the en-
ployment swindlers select for their or
CARNATIONS only too often inspire pub
lie confidence because they may easily
be confused with those of long-existing
public charitable societies. The Amer
lean Legion is constantly on the watch
TO detect, expose and prosecute organi-
cations victimizing ex-service men.
The public should come TO know that
any organization ostensibly for the
help Of unemployed veterans should be
regarded suspiciously If it does not

learned, prudent and circumspect;
of judgment, reliable and DELHI
crate, courageous and patriotic;
a speaker of great force and read
mess, he is magnificently endowed
with all the qualities necessary.
for the trying situation. 1t has.
been soemwhat surprising to me
that his worth has been overlook
ed up to this time. But in these
days of push, gall and cheek, it
is the immodest, assertive hustler
who usually gets there. Like all
men of real greatness, Mr.. Will
liams feels that honor and respon-
sibilities of the character above
described should come unsought;
and while he would not shun. any
duty that might be put upon him,
he is right in not entering a
scramble for it. Comparisons are
somewhat Odious, but | shall vent
ure the assertion that he is as
far above Richardson or Bailey
in the elements Of leadership,
learning and ability as the sun is
above the earth. / understand
that Mr.. Williams will not be a
candidate for this place (demo-
Gratis leader.) but / hope sim
cerely that the democrats may do
the wise thing and choose him"
Readers of the Record, who do

You may not be able to conceive
of the author, but it is none other
than Jas. K. Vardaman, and is Ia
ken from the Greenwood Common

John Sharp Williams, who was
