Sweet Potatoes and Apples-Did
you ever try sweet potatoes and
apples together? First cook the
sweet potatoes in their skins in boil
ing sailed water for about Is min
utes. Pare. core, and slice the ap-
pies. Skin and slice the sweet po-
tatoes. Place alternate layers of
sweet potatoes and apples in but
tered baking dish, sprinkling each
layer with sugar and lots of butter.
Add little water, and bake until the
apples and potatoes are soft. Brown
sugar is liked by many people for
this combination.
Potato Not Particular-For pota-
to culture gravelly or sandy loan
soils, if well supplied with organic
matter, are in general the most de-
sirable. The potato, however, is not
so sensitive with respect to soil as
are some other crops. Under suit
able conditions satisfactory crop
sandy soil and medium heavy clay
soil, provided the heavy soil is well
drained and the light soil has good
moisture supply. Muck or peat soils
are also satisfactory if properly
drained and well supplied with avail
plant food. A reasonably good crop
may be expected from any soil out
side or blow sand and heavy clay,
provided the climatic conditions are
favorable and the soil is well sup
piled with organic matter and avail
able plant food.

would naturally mean, it is said, that
he is to be left out of the picture also
| as respects patronage.
1t is safe to say that any such at
tempt is foredoomed to failure and
bound to react on the "conspirators
in way they had hardly dreamed.
Rockne has too often and too con-
vincingly demonstrated his power
and his hold on considerable num-
Der of his fellow senators to be easily
relegated to the role of "goat."
The rules of the senate give the
power of appointing the committees
to the lieutenant governor as pre-
siding officer. 1t has come to be re-
garded as his inalienable right-but
it isn't. The state constitution does
not even mention the appointment of
committees as one of his powers or
duties.
The national house of representa-
tives some years ago took this power
away from the speaker and gave it
to a COMMITTEE on committees" If
Bill Nolan should attempt to be too
arbitrary in his committee assign
ments, there is always the possibility
that the senate may take the matter
out of his hands entirely.
The so-called regulars" have too
scant majority in the senate to
make it safe to try anything funny.
1t would require only four of five re-
calcitrant or rebellious regulars" to
form a coalition with the minority
that could absolutely control the
senate organization.
And it's just this that makes the
situation interesting-and probably
also the occasion for such a wad of
rumors going the rounds.

In checking over the official cleo
ton returns the other day for any
possible discrepancies from the I'M
official returns, I found that Justice
Homer B. Dibell had carried every
one of the 81 counties against his
opponent, w. H. Vanderburgh.
This is no doubt pleasing to Judge
Dibell himself-and deservedly So

but it also means that the voters of
Minnesota deserve to be congratulate
ed on their excellent judgment.
The result is all the more remark
able when it is borne in mind that
Judge Dibell did not leave his office
a single day to Campaign, and had
no campaign committee, while his
opponent made a personal canvass in
nearly every county.
