Monster Sweet Potato Is
Grown bv a Terrell Farmer.

Mr.. G. F. Smith, well known Ter
rell county farmer living near Bron-
wood, has brought to The News Of
fee sweet potato weighing 14H
pounds. 1t is of the Porto Rico va
riety and is a freak of nature rather
grotesque in its formation, resembling
somewhat a boulder. The rich soil
produced such rapid growth the tuber
burst its jacket and presents ragged
LaDDearance.

WOODBRIDGE PARK
TO BE DEVELOPED

Yet another important section
centrally situated in Woodbridge,
changed hands this week, when
White & Hess, Inc took over Wood
bridge Park from the former owner,
Mrs. H. H. Schultz, Newark. The
new and promoters have
started putting the streets and the
development generally, in good
shape for early submission to the
public.
Woodbridge Park, the principal
th~oroughfare of which is Barron
avenue, extends almost to the Edgar
Railroad Station while its southern
boundary is Freeman street. 1t was
surveyed and divided into home sites
as early as 1897, but for some
known reason, was never offered for
public sale. The abnormal growth
of Woodbridge as a residential cen
ter during the past few years, has
called all the best vacant spaces into
requisition for building, and Wood
bridge Park, by reason of it's unusual
elevation, natural drainage and fine
view, is sure to be a popular local
ity for hundreds of new homes. The
territory presents a well finished ap-
pearance as shade trees which were
planted a score of years ago, have
now matured and line the streets of
the new development.
White & Hess. Inc, promise full
particulars and date of the opening
sale in next weeks advertising.

of Americans for iced water to
the "need for a sensation
which in one form or another
is universal" He further notes
"a prevalent disuse of alcoholic
drinks in America" and ex-
plains that "the sensation of
taste being ungratihed. the
sensation of temperature is as
Gar as possible substituted for
it." In the light of present
day couditicos the words Of

Woman Patriot Says q. s. Has
Been victimized by Com.

The Woman Patriot, a semi-monthly,
published here by women Of various
states who are vigorously opposing
all unconstitutional or radical legisla-
tion.' declares I'm its issue yesterday
that the movement for German relief
appropriation was originated by the
foreign committee Of the Communist In
ternational Workers Relief, with head
quarters at Berlin. on November l.
Asserting that II is in possession of
official unpublished communist docu-
ments from Berlin. the Woman Patriot
says that Klara Zetkin, the German
early in October and .is reported to
have aroused wild enthusiasm among
communist farmers and women's or
ganizations for an international drive
for German relief"
'The rapidity with which COM
munistS are able to put over one of
their great drives after 1t has been
authorized at Moscow" continues the
publication, "is demonstrated by the
fact that within five days after Klara
Zetkin's committee started this drive
in Berlin American newspapers were
deluged with propag aganda for German
relief appropriations and our State
Department was Issuing statements in
ment of Agriculture figures prove con-
clusively that Germany has just had
it's greatest harvest since the war"
The Woman Patriot concludes by
denominating the movement as a
three -cornered deal between foreign
communists. American grain specula-
tors and meat packers" and urges a
veto by the President If an approprIa-
