FARMERS MAY BUY
CERTIFIED POTATOES
THROUGH UNIVERSITY

Orders for certified seed potatoes;
which will be purchased through the
Purdue extension department, if car
load can be disposed of, are pouring
into the county agents office, and he
stated Tuesday that he expected to
have enough soon for a carload. AL
ready 30 prospective potato growers
have ordered 200 bushels, with sew
eral parts of the county yet to be
heard from.
The potatoes, which are guaranteed
free from all diseases, may include
the Cobbler, Rural New Yorker and
Early Ohio varieties. Purdue authori
ties are very anxious to extend the
use of certified seed, as the yield can
be materially increased, the average
last year from certified seed being
So bushels per acre.
1.-THE potatoes will be held until
danger of freezing is past" said Mr.
Dolan Tuesday, land then shipped in
plenty of time for planting. Orders
may be sent in to me by telephone
postcard, or anyway, so that they
come in soon. | hope no one will
come in when planting time comes
| cannot hold the orders after mini
mum carload is made up, and any
who do not get orders in before tha1

NEW YORK. Feb. 14.-Supposedly
national heroes of the diamond, the
gridiron and the silver sheet do not
stand so high as might be supposed
with the high school and college stu
dents. This was learned today when
the Institute for Public Service made
public some results of a national
course at history test taken by more
than 100000 pupils.
Twenty thousand of the students
averaged only As percent on 10 ques-
tons about baseball, football and the
movies. OF 500 seniors, more of them
knew about DeValera, Lloyd George
BRAND and General Leonard Wood
than about which team won the
worlds series or what shining light
of the screen is starred in a current
popular picture. A majority of 500
girl seniors knew about Sim Feiners
than about Mile. Lenglan and Ruth
Lee.
One of the most interesting results
being analysed are the answers OF
81 New York seniors. Forty-three OF
them could not identify Charles G
Dawes, national budget director; SO
had no idea as to Myron T. Herrick's
identity: 20 were all at sea as con
Germs the identity of Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon, ten were unable tC

identify a photograph of Elihu Root
and 81 missed Henry Ford. Some OF
them thought Mile. Lenglen was a
French chemist and others identified
her as Japan's' representative at the
armament conference.
AS for Christy Mathewson, his pic
ture elected the answer that he was
the man who sold out the worlds ser
les in 1920 Asked the name of a
popular novel giving the details of a
small town, one student guessed
Robinson Crusoe" and 4S per cent OF
the seniors failed to think of Main
street." Thirty-five per cent of the
boys did not know who won the last
worlds series; so per cent did not
know Babe Ruths home run record
and seventy per cent of the girl sen.
iors did not know the name of the
only woman member of congress
Three of hundred high school sen.
iors could not identify Pershing and

niZe a picture of President Harding
After declaring it has cost between
S2,000,000 and 100000 in money
and time to educate 1000 high school
seniors, the report laments that $3.50
of them did not know the meaning OF
open shop; $50 of them could not
recognize picture of Elihu Root; 49C
did not know anything about H. G.
Wells"

SAYS U. s. ASSOCIATION
FOR IRISH RECOGNITION
NEED NOT EXIST NOW

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE reason
for the formation of the Irish Ameri-
can association for the recognition of
the Irish republic no longer exists,
in the opinion of Edward L. Doheny,
president of the association, who an
nounces he favors the Irish Free
State.
Mr.. Doheny had taken an active in
terest in the association, founded by
canon de Valera. He underworld the
recent 100000 Irish relief fund and
has been one of the largest individual
contributors in America to the Irish
cause Commenting on the recent ac-
ton of the executive committee of the
association in adopting a resolution
supporting de Valera's fight for abso-
lutte freedom, Mr. Doheny said:
81 don't think any man or group OF
men has the right to set themselves
up as representing the opinions of the
vast army of Irish sympathizers. l
have only just heard of that meeting.
The full executive body was not pres
ent at the meeting, nor was its pres
:, ident.
81 am in favor of the treaty and l
think the vast majority of 1rishmen
are. Give the new arrangement a
| chance In 20 or 80 years from now,
after a neighborly relation has devel
oped between Great Britain and Ire
| land, then it will be time to strike out
for the republic if people want il
! then"

WESTERN GOODS DO
NOT SMOKE, SAYS DEAN
fBy Associated Press)

BERKELEY, Calf, Feb. 14.-Smok-
ing has not become a habit, or even
a "condoned fad among women stu
dents of western universities, Miss
Olive Presler, president of the Assoc
lated Women Students of the Univers-
ity of California, commented on AS
sociated Press dispatches from middle
western university centers.
Miss Presler said she knew person
ally more than half of the 5000 WON
en- in the University of California and
that of that number she knew none
who ever had smoked. Smoking she
said, was not allowed in the sorority
houses or women's clubs, and the CO
eds code of honor forbade the prac-
tice.
"At the last conference of the Yves
tern Intercollegiate Association of
Women Students in Berkeley, frank
discussion of smoking was held" she
added, "and it was agreed that there
was nothing to be feared from smok.
ing among college women in the west. u
