AMBITIOUS POTATOES
THAT GROW UPSTAIRS

Somebody page the spirit OF
Luther Burbank.
Something must be done to make
things behave. 1t is not enough
that the Iowa farmers start a pro
duce strike. Now the produce it.
self threatens a revolt. Already
Montana potatoes are refusing to
stay under ground. Next the butter
will walk out and the eggs crow
over its spunk.
Now this story is nothing read
in another newspaper, but tells of
something seen by three pairs of
eyes in The Herald office. VIM.
Mindeman, well known local farm
er and gardener brought in a tall
stalk of potato vine discovered in
his large potato field, while digging
some. did you eve see a freak?",
he asked as he took the lid off a
pasteboard box and took out the
stalk. Growing along nearly the
whole length of the stalk, at the
base of the leaves, were potatoes
small but of normal shape and
color early Triumph" potatoes.
There were, or had been, at least
a dozen, varying from the size of
a small hen egg to a large pea.
Mr.. Mindeman said there were
also potatoes on the roots of that
hill. But it is uncertain if there
were potatoes on the roots of that
particular stalk. There has been
some debate as to whether above
ground spuds would have any adj
vantage over the kind that are
content to stay downstairs, sum
mer and winter. The out-in-sight
sort would be pretty handy for
the bugs and the boes; but maybe
attachment could be put on the
combine to harvest them.

GIRLS" AND WOLVES
In SPECTACULAR BALL GAME

well coached parts quite cleverly.
The can throw, catch and run with
the best of the girls. But at bat
well. not so good. They waved
their clubs menaoingly and then
waited for a walk or tried to bunt.
Jaax, however, did get a Texas
Lacquer that put her on first. AS
for the other four members, al
ready named, they are fast, keen
players who have seen league ser
vice and not in a girls league,
either. Dougherty has binding
speed and a sharp break besides.
They overlooked no chances, made
no errors and ran bases like rab-
bits.
Wednesday they beat Glendive,

they started for Forsyth. The gate
at the game here was over 800 and
they tried hard to win the so in
stead of the 40 per cent. They

He May be Dumb, But
Not So Deaf as Posed

Last week a well dressed man
made the rounds of the business
places. Cards which he handed out
explained that he was deaf and
dumb and would be grateful-etc.
When he entered Judge Gordon's
office, the Judge was at his desk.
He saw the printed card in the
mans hand, but was not close
enough to read it. Assuming his
most dignified, judicial demeanor,
the Judge said: "You are in the
police court. Have you any bust
ness with the police magistrate?"
The man left Immediately.
The next day when mention was
made of the incident, the Judge
said: "We1l. good life, | never read
the card, but I was sure he heard
me. He went out Of that door like
a shot" The incident reminded the
Judge of a story:
"And how long have you been
deaf and dumb, my good man?'
It'll be eight years, coming De
cember," was the prompt reply.

Red Brandon, Wolf Point mana

the best aggregation he could. con-

over. The locals have been trim

afternoon the Dougherty-Fylnn-Mc-

1t was the most fun of any game
this season. A perfect Diamond

real life. with the suspense sus-
pended until the last ten seconds
of play in the last half of the
ninth. The first chapter did not
lack in spectacular action. In the
Wolves half jacob hit sharply but
was retired at first. George Loen-
dorf drove out a double. Then Oil
yer (Red) Brandon, himself, took
his stance at the port side of the
plate and awaited one of Dough

fence into the flying field. Gar

Brady. Two hits two runs, no er-
rors. So far as runs were concern

Miss Harrod a walk and she and
Brady, MoCollister and Flynn made
the circuit on hits and Dougherty's

score board until the second SEES

coming up for their last chance
to save themselves the humiliation
of defeat at the hands of Kansas
flappers, 4 to 2.
Neither the large crowd nor the
SKSL suspected the surprise fin

The plot was like this. jacob was

BIG FEATURES OF
HIGHLAND FAIR
ENTERTAINMENT, EXHIBITS
WILL PLEASE AND SUR
PRISE VISITORS

The directors of the Richland
County Fair are nothing if not up
to-date. They have secured the lat
est and most up-to-date offering
of the season in 1.-The Passing
Parade of 1892" a ballet of 16 beau
tiful girls.
Brilliant Show
Unlike the ordinary run OF revue
given on fair grounds, the Passing
Parade" is embellished with a com
plete scenic equipment and SO large
is this outfit, it takes a 20 foot bag
gage car to transport the properties
from fair to fair. Everything that
is used in the highest type theatre
is carried by the company, togeth-
er with electrical effects that turn
night into day and rival the u
in ~brilliancy.
Real Wedding
The third night of the engage
ment, September IA, is the occasion
for a legal wedding in which two
local people will be joined togeth-
er in wedlock, amid beautiful sur
s%oundings and the participation of
the entire cast of performers and
chorus. 1t will be a unique spec
tacle and well worth attending.
Culinary Dept
But one glimpse of the tempt
ing exhibit of bread, cake, cookies,
doughnuts, and pastry will convince
the most skeptical fair visitor that
woman has lost none of her skill
a cook, all modern arguments to
the contrary. Styles in cooking may
be changed, but the quality will be
found higher than ever.
Displays of canned goods will be
imposing. Canned meats, fruits, and
vegetables will be shown in wide
assortment. Supplementing the can
ming will be imposing rows of jars
and glasses of %iellies, jams, mar
malades, preserves, and pickles.
Interest in the art of drying veg
atables for later table use is in
creasing everywhere, as will be
proved by the interesting display
Of dried corn, peas, pumpkin and
beans, for which prizes are being
offered by this years fair.

.Tydings and Representative
Stephen w. Gambrill spoke
last night in three towns.
The rallies in Upper Marlboro,
Hyattsville and Mt. Rainier were
marked by TRADES against the
S"weak" Hoover administration.
- Two Choices
Governor Ritchie was introduced
at Upper Marlboro, not as Cover
nor Ritchie, but as Albert C.
Ritchie. United States of Amer
lea" He said:
"The people of the nation are
N faced with two choices: (D To
) re-elect Hoover on a platform
that cannot be interpreted; (2)
S To elect Roosevelt with his
) clear, courageous policies.
"The Republican battle cry
Of Don't change horses in mid

change horses or fall"
-. Prohibition Hit
Striking at the Hoover prohibi-
ton stand, Senator Tydings de-
Clared:
washington, with it's schools,
colleges and cultural facilities,
along with its lack of indus
trial element and political ma
chimes, Is an ideal city in

But, with all appointments,
even to the police force, under
HOOver's com m a n d, reports
show that, during the 10 years
following prohibition, drunken
ness among minors in the city
increased five times over the
10 years proceeding the act.
"Are we to have four more
years under the leadership of
the Great Engineer, who ran
his train backwards?"
Representative Gambrill told
his listeners that Republican
campaign speeches are bedtime
stories to make little children
laugh,
