,t.' Nearly everybody knows what

rot Nearly everybody knows what the black rot is, it is a black spot or spots on the outside of the potato, ranging in size from as big as the end of your finger to covering half the potato. and deeper than the skin. Don't crate potatoes that show black rot. If you will follow these simple instructions, using your good common judgment in all the details we will have house full of sweet potatoes that will command the highest market price. I've been raising and market ing sweet potatoes for about years and can truthfully say that there is no work in the potato business that pays you as we'll as the careful dig ging, grading, handling, and crating.
 Don't risk "heling" up your pota- toes, sometimes they keep very we'll that way but more often half or all of them rot. The managers of the house have made the price of housing and curing just as cheap as they can get by with. The price of storage room for those who haven't any stock in the house is only 10c per bushel The cost of curing will be prorated and you will be charged only just what it cost to cure your potatoes.

NOTICE TO SWEET POTATO
 GROWERS

A few suggestions in digging, hand 1 ling, grading and crating:
 The harvesting time of our sweet
 potato crop is here and few sug-
 gestions may help to make this crop
 success. The curing house has
 rooms, therefore, we shall have three digging times. The first one will be the week of October the 17th to Fist. All who want to dig at this time come to the house early in the week and get your crates, taking out no more than you need, as they will be charged to you and credited when you bring them back. The other diggings will take place about ten days apart-notice of date will be published in the News.
 Please bear in mind that to dry po- tatoes successfully they must all be dried at the same time. If it is not convenient for you to dig them all at one time, dig what you can and don't dig any more till the next digging
 week. Handle your potatoes like you
 would apples. Even the outside skin
 knocked off will cause black spot
 just that big when dried. In picking them up after the blow, very good way is to put 3 rows together in different piles, a pile of small ones
 which will include all up to nearly as large as you can meet around with your thunb and forefinger, a pile of the best ones up to inches in diamet- CT at the biggest place and all above this size in another pile called the
 jumbos. Make your piles close en-
 ough together so you will not have to throw the potatoes far enough to skin them up. When you go to crat- ing you can further grade them for | this grading is very important Of
 course, leave out out the extra long
 and very bad shaped ones to feed the
 hogs. Fill your crates full In ord
 CT to do this lay your potatoes as
 much as you can, lengthwise of crate,
 close together and fill them full. The
 house will charge you just as much
 for curing crates 3-4 full as full ones.
 If they are not packed close you will
 not have a full crate when you get to
 the house. Look out for the black

HELD AS MURDER SUSPECTS
Death Probably Caused by Acute AL
 coholism, Says Coroner.

Los Angeles, Oct 9.-Al Stein, as sistant movie director, died early to- day after a big liquor party; two actresses are in jail on suspicion ot murder and three men are being sought.
 t Stein was assistant to Fred Fish back, director for the Century Film Corporation, who was one of the guests at the Fatty Arbuckle party in the St. Francis hotel, San Fran cisco, when Miss Virginia Rappe suf- fered the injury that took her life. The women under arrest are: Mrs. Jeanne Monroe and Miss Mildred Frances Bellwin, chorus girl, known as "Billy Deslys."

 The girls say Stein came home shortly before midnight with three men, that all had been drinking. The men remained less than 30 minutes. An hour later, they say, Stein rolled | from the bed in agony, gasping for breath, the pupils of his eyes dis tended.
 Under the pillow was dainty lavender and white handkerchief high ly scented. In the kitchen was bottle of moonshine half full.

 ress in Jefferson County.

Little Rock, Oct. Unsatisfactory progress is being made in the Arkan- sas Cotton Growers Cooperative As- sociation's campaign in Jefferson county, it was reported by Harry Tru- lock of Pine Bluff, Jefferson county chairman of the association, last night I Up to last night total of 10,O62 bales had been signed up, MT.

Trulock ex- pressed confidence that the quota will be reached.
 We're going to keep at work un- til we get it." he told MT. Brown. "It requires time. Naturally, before farmer signs a contract of this sort he wants to study the contract and to consider the matter carefully be- fore he signs. However, our work CTS found the farmers as whole dis tinctly favorable to the plan."
 Decidedly favorable reports have been received all week from the field Kayser of Weatherford, Tex, who will workers of the association. J. p. join the associations forces in the field, arrived yesterday.

Hubby Displays Fine
 Judgment In Not Halting

Texarkana, Oct 10.-Some excite ment was caused in the vicinity of the State National bank building late yesterday afternoon when a stranger identified as J. R. Walpole of Begoda, Red River county, Texas, ran at breakneck speed down an alley closely pursued by woman calling Halt, halt and when her call was not obeyed fired a shot at the re- treating figure from a revolver. The bullet went wild, however, but it had the effect of causing the man to re- lease his hold upon nine-year-old boy whom he was dragging along with him. The woman at once seized the boy, placed him in high-powered car which she had left standing near by, and sped away in the direction of New Boston.
 Investigation by the officers de- veloped that the woman is the wife of Walpole, who is suing him for di vorce, the couple having separated two weeks ago. Walpole had secured the boy yesterday and brought him here, and the two were sitting in front of the bank yesterday after noon, when Mrs. Walpole, accom- panied by her grown daughter by former marriage, discovered them.
 Mrs. Walpole dropped her pistol as soon as she was in possession of her boy, and the weapon was picked up by bystander and handed to policeman who arrived on scene just after she had driven away.

As to Money.

After asking where all the money has gone, as nobody seems to have any, a Canadian paper remarks, "An Englishman, once said that money was made round to go round. A Scotch man replied that 1t was made flat to pile up. The Scotchman's idea is all right in theory, but just now it is the individual that is flat, and the money isn't round"

Big Mexican
Volcano May
Erupt, Fear
Native Horror Put
To Rest by Findings
of Commission Of
Scientists

Mexico, City, March 15.- One
large, and several small. new era
ters have opened on Mount Popo-
catepetl from which gas and smoke
are pouring, but there is no i'm
mediate danger of a flow of lava,
according to the findings of the
special commission of scientists
appointed by the National Geologi-
cal institute. The commission has
Just returned to Mexico City with
it's report after undergoing severe
hardships in order to observe the
activities of the volcano. The eff
feet of the report has been to re-
move much of the fear of the in
habitants of nearby towns that a
great eruption was imminent.
Senior Francisco de P. TenOrlo,
one of the members of the commits
sion, in describing the trip up the
mountain, said:
I'VE started at Ameca Meca,
then went to AtliXco. There we
spent the night and the following
udy u uuStu up " OdH AIllOiliu uS
Los Ranchios. The next morning
we reached Santa Rita by llama
cas-. At all these points we in
stalled seismograph apparatus to
observe if there were any oscilla-
tions, but none was registered.
At Crater's Edge.
AFTER an arduous trip we reach
ed the very mouth of the crater.
We were able to remain there only
ten minutes because of the great
volume of smoke and gas being
emitted. This filled our eyes and
nOstrils and we were compelled to
PROSTATE ourselves in order to avoid
being overcome. During those ten
minutes we succeeded in filling
several receI>acles with particles
thrown out of the crater. These
we will carefully analyze to ascer-
tain the gaseous and other ele-
ments they contain.
New CT-aters Formed.
I'm our observations at the era
ter we discovered the new and
openings from which came
torrents of sulphurous gases. From
the side visible from Puebla we
discovered various secondary era
ters recently. developed and which
might in time become dangerous.
