WAYCROSS, Aug. 1O.-Farmers
in the near vicinity Of WaycrOss
have not begun digging their sweet
potatoes, generally, but the pro-
duce wagons here and there
throughout the city show that a
few of the early planters are al
ready on the market.
1T is strange" said one farm
er from the A. J. Moran district
that the farmers have planted so
few potatoes this year. The acre
age in my section is the smallest

Mr., Moran stated several days
ago that his potato crop would be
the finest this year he has ever
had. When asked when he would
start digging, he said that he hat
ed to disturb the patch. "They are
looking splendid and l want to let
them grow right on for a while"
he said. Mr.. Moran is probably
the only producer in his section of
the county that is growing Dota-
toes for the market this year The
reason is attributed to the grow
ing of tobacco and other new
crops.

! self was not touched. 1t now ap-
pears certain however that contact
is necessary in order to produce
ivy poisoning.
Ivy poisoning says the Public
Health Service, may sometimes be
averted even after these plants
have been handled provided the ex-
posed parts are washed thoroughly
with soap, water and alcohol. This
washing must, however. be thor
ough, otherwise it will only tend to
spread the irritating poison.
The treatment of ivy poisoning is
simple and easily administered.
One of the best treatments is bath
ing with salt water. Sea water is
best if it is available. Another
good application consists of one
teaspoonful of boric acid in a quart
of hot water. The affected parts
should be bathed with warm water
every day or every two days and
carefully dried without rubbing.
Bathing should be followed by an
other application of boric acid. The
attack may subside in from four to
six days. The best advice to va
cationists is. study the poison oak,
the poison ivy and the poison su-
mac that YOU may distinguished
these plants from their neighbors.
Once you 're able to- recognize
them you can scrupulously avoid
them. Avoid the creeper with the
three divided leaves. Aveid the
small shrub with the broad leaves
like the oak. Give the sumac that
grows in swampy places a wide
berth. Persons who have suffered
from plant poisoning do not soon
forget the experience.

DANGER Of POISON
! IVY POINTED OUT
City Vacationists in Country
Should Learn to Identify Spe-
Cies From Harmless Kind

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1O.-The
poison ivy is perhaps the plant most
frequently encountered by the un-
suspecting city visitor to the coun-
try, says the Public Health Service.
Yet it may be easily distinguished
from other creeps by its three di-
vided leaves. The harmless creep
ers have five leaves. This one dis
tinguishing mark if borne in mind
will protect the vacationist from
poison ivy. Poison oak is a shrub
or small tree with broad leaves
very much resembling the leaves of
the oak tree.
The part of these plants to be
feared is the resinous sap. When
plant is injured this stick SAP
exudes. 1t comes in contact with
the skin and sets up an irritation
which is distinguished by is acute
character. This irritation fre-
quently begins between the fingers.
The symptoms Of ivy poisoning
are comparatively easy to recog-
nize A more or less mild attack
may be ushered in by burning
or itching of the skin. Within "a
hours after the skin is exposed to
the poison of the plant a red rash
appears. This is followed by more
or less swelling and itching, then
small blisters filled with serum
make their appearance. The parts
Of the body affected may swell to
enormous proportions.
At one time it was believed that
many person who had suffered
from attacks of ivy poisoning would
experience recurrence of the
attack if they passed through
wood or came into proximity with
the plant even though the ivy it.

and the kitten with the other,

The man with the peculiar eyes
came in languidly.

she stopped and glanced back over

"Are you going to be frightfully

curiously.

Pennington's eyes that were set
like an Oriental's on his youthful
countenance, disappeared behind
their diagonal Sits.

At the meeting held in the rooms
OF the chamber Of commerce yester-
day afternoon. it was decided to i'm
mediately start a drive for the $1,000
necessary TO start work on the hard
surfaced highway between Bozeman
anG Salesville. Several teams of
! canvassers were named and it is ex-
pected that the money viii be in by
Saturday night.
While this project has been on the
wind for some time, the necessary i'm
petus to put it across came from H.
w. Child Of the Yellowstone Park

formed the people of Bozeman that,
provisional with the completing of
the hard-surfaced road from Bozeman
TO the park, this city would be made

lOWstone park. commencing with the
season Of 1925. Mr.. Childs' announce
ment came after a conference be-
tween himself and H. E. Byram, pres
i6ent Of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.

trance to the park. the tourists being
taken from here to the Yellowstone in

Transportation company. In order
that these busses make scheduled
time, no matter what the weather, a
: hard-surfaced highway is needed
AS the road stands today, the high
way is permanently fixed from Sales
vile to the mouth of the canyon, and
. by the end of next season it will be
completed to the park line, much of

entire scheme is the road between

Smith TAKES"WILD"
OUT OF ROUNDUP
Activities of Sheriff's Force, Aided
by State and Federal Men, Make
Week Just Past the Cleanest in the
History of All ROundups

In the history of the Bozeman
Roundup for the past five years there
has never been a week of the big
show when the conduct Of the people
in Bozeman was so decent, so orderly
or so law-abiding as in the week Just
passed.The reason for this is easy to
find, the fact that the sheriff was on
to his job and the big per cent of
the boot-leggers and other. vendors
of the stuff prohibited by Mr.. Vol
stead were nabbed before they had
much chance to dispense or display
their wild" waters.
The sheriff's force was aided in
their work by both state and federal
enforcement men, but the main credit
should go to the local officers, for
these outside men have been here in
former years as we'll as this season.
AS a result Of the officers activity
a roodly haul of both alleged boot
leggers and moonshine was made and
a number of cases are pending in the
courts. Likewise, as a result of the
officers work, there were few or no
fights, no robbery, no crap games
on the streets, in fact the roundup,
while lacking none of the thrills in
the arena or legitimate good times,
was the cleanest ever staged in Boze-
man.
The following men were apprehend,
ed, charged and released on bail:
Chas. A. Huffine, arrested August
2, charged with selling and possessing
liquor. Pleaded not guilty, and was
released on $400 bail.

on $500 bail.
