PRICE OF POTATOES ST|RS HOUSEWIVES
LoVly Spud Threatens to Be.
 come Vain Vegetable

Housewives in this city as in every other community. have been astounded at the rapid rise In the price of potatoes In the various markets and the loWly spud has be- come such a luxury that only the wealthy can lay in a goodly supply during the present days, No re- lief from the high prices can be seen by dealers here or anywhere else until the eouthern crop Is put on the market.
 Wholesalers in this city are charg- ing prices ranging from S7.65 to $S for bags holding two bushels the medium and genera! price being $775 in most Of the wholesale houses in the city, This is an i'm menso jump over the prices of q few weeks ago and with retail prices for q peck at over dollar, with chances that this price will riso within the next faT weeks, makes for anything but pleasant thoughts for the wives and mothers whose duties make them the family cooks.
 Several reasons are being given out by the dealers for the rapid rise in the price Of spuds. The general explanation is that the Maine potato crop, given over for consVmp- tion as food, is practically eyha us,- ed. This does not mean that there are no more Maine potatoes, but in- dicates that the growers are holdine hack the remainder of their last years crop 10 use for seed during the coming season.
 Al this high price, even, tho wholesalers claim that they get no profit out Of handling potatoes un- l@ss they were to cut down the size Of their bags and they blame the rise on the Jobhers through whom the potatoes are distributed to the wholesalers. Ultimately, the house- wives and their families are the sufferers from the rise ill the mar. ket, With the retail price increas. ing almost g. q peck in the last few weeks and the forecast that the price will be even more prohihitive, there is a likelihood that potatoes will not be seen on many tables for some weeks to come.
 The southern potato crop Is ez- pacted within the next two or three 'Teaks and with these crops flooded , on the market, dealers expect the ! drop in price 10 he almost as swift IS the rise mas been.

THE TRUE NORTH,
 ALASKA FILM IS
 EXHIBITED IN NY.
ARTHUR Fl. YOUNG, HUNTER AND EXPLORER SHOWS PICTURE
 OF ALASKA HUNT
AT N. Y. GAME CONFERENCE
War To Be Declared on Weasels, Owls, HaWks-Destructive Ene-
 mics of Wild Game

The charge made by Dr. W. T. Hornaday in a statement to The New York Times, that many species of game were approaching the verge of extinction in the United States be- cause of alleged Government negli- gence and alleged overzealousness of manufacturers to sell hunting equipment,s will be one of the prin- cipal topics at the National Game Conference, which will be held at the Hotel Pennsylvania. Scientists and sportsmen, explorers, public officials and representatives of organizations for the protection of game of the United States, Canada and Mexico will attend the conference.
 Officials of the United States, Mex ico and Canada attending the con- 1 ference will hold a meeting in an ef- fort to reach an agreement for the protection of migratory birds in Lat in-America countries under treaties resembling the Migratory Bird Trea- ty between the United States and 1 Canada.
 The principal question to be debat- ed at the conference, which will con- tinue for two days, is What are the next steps to be taken relative to the preservation of Americas supply of wild fowl and game as an import ant part in the program of conserva- tion of our national resources?'
 To Combat Enemies of Game Means of combating hawks, owls, crows and weasels, which kill more game than is shot by the hunter ev- cry year, will be discussed Other topics relate to municipal forests and their value as game refugees; the quail and grouse situation: breeding and liberation of mallard ducks by individual sportsmen and farmers; introduction of exotic species of fowl and game in the various states and the results; commercial breeding of pheasants and ducks; methods of trapping and shipping the Hungarian partridge; the problem of taking care of the surplus game in certain res- stricted areas; cooperation between sportsmen and farmer, and a des- l crlption of the tremendous task re- gently undertaken by the Canadian Government in transferring thous- ads of buffalo and hundreds of miles to a new country. These will be among the many problems of inter- est to hunters and sportsmen to be discussed.
 A feature of the dinner will be the first large showing of "The True North,'' filmed in Alaska in 1924 by Arthur H. Young, hunter and explor- CT, showing a primitive bow-and-ar- row hunt of moose, mountain sheep, goats and the Alaskan brown bear on the Kenai Peninsula.

FOREIGN DEMAND CREATES A
 MILK INDUSTRY FOR CHINA

CHICAGO, Jan. 15. (P)-The for eign colony has given rise to a thriv- ing industry new to China-the milk business.
 Jersey cows have been imported and the water-buffalo, heretofore a mere beast of burden, has been success fully crossed with European breeds, said $. N. Au-Young, director-general or the Chinese bureau of economic information, who has been sojourning here.
 Chinese children for centuries have been weaned on softened rice and even today milk is drunk only by children of the wealthy classes and butter consumed only by the for eigners.
 "A large percentage of the milk used in the European concessions comes from the crossed-bred cows,' Au-Young declared. Tt is of fine quality; high in butter-fat content. But milk is still a luxury among the Chinese"

STRUGGLE FOR WOMEN IS FAME OF ALETTA JACOBS

THE HAGUE, Jan. 15. P-Equal- ity of the sexes in all social aspects has been the ideal of Aletta H. Jac- obs and largely thru her influence Dutchwomen have acquired much greater political and economic inde- pendence in the last thirty years. Dr. Jacobs name stands first among the prominent women of present-day Hol- land.
 When she was born nearly seven- ty-two years ago women did not count for much except as the wives of their husbands or the daughters of their fathers. Dutch universities did not dream of admitting women to their medical schools when Aletta made up her mind to become a doctor. At twenty five, however, she had gain ed degree of doctor of medicine from Groningen University and be- gan practice as the first woman phy- sician in The Netherlands.
 Since then, few international wo- mems congresses have been held without her conspicuous presence. Collaborating closely with Mrs. Car rie Chapman Catt, and in personal contact with all the feminist move ment leaders in Europe, Dr. Jacobs blazed the trail for women's rights and franchise in the face of full blast of sex prejudice.

TABLET TO MARK LAND GRANT ORIGINALLY GIVEN LAFAYETTE

TALLAHASSE, Fla, Jan. IA. (P- An acho of an historic incident was heard here when a report was submit ted to the legislature on preparations flor the placing of tablet at the southwest corner of a section of land granted by Congress to General La- fayette, in 1924.
 The property intersection is just outside Tallahassee, and is on the identical spot where a monument has been placed, marking the Florida me- ridian.
 According to historical data, Con- gress, on December 2S, 1924, "in con- sideration of services and sacrifices" ordered the paymentof $200,000 to General Lafayette, and a grant of land, 'in any of the unappropriated lands of the United States" General Lafayette, and his heirs, the latter sharing in the grant, chose a section in the mortimer npart of Florida, just east of Tallahassee.
 The tablet to be placed on the Lafayette grant is one of three to be affixed to the monument. The other two will be used in. connection with the meridian marking.
 The Lafayette grant has long since passed into the hands of private own CTS. There is natural monument to the distinguished French soldier still there, however It is Lake La fayette.
