consists Of large oval bearing the
word "one," surrounded by a sunrise

sign is a star, with picturesque rep
resentation of Erin" the most ancient
name for Ireland, and rays composed
of the words, Bank OF Ireland"

Tie lowly potato has at last been
given just recognition. Poets may sing
the praises Of pomegranates and trop-
ical fruits. but the potato now has a
monument erected In its honor. The
granite tablet, erected by farmers on a
piece of land in the Hartz mountains,
bears the inscription. Here was made
the first experiment In growing pota-
toes in 1877" The experiment was tried
Just 175 years ago. AT that time few
people consented to eat the food which

anything else to stave on hunger in
Germany. The cultivation OF potatoes
had started in Bohemia more than a
century before the experiment was
tried in Prussia.

ordered here for that day by

The presence of a destroyer for

that both army and navy will b.

While no plans have as ye'

In addition to the presence of
