The white potato is one Of the
great food plants which the new
world has supplied to the human
race. It probably equals in i'm
portance another new world pro-
duct, maize or Indian corn, and
ranks above the tomato
White potatoes are grown in al
most every part of Europe and the
new world, also In parts Of Asia,
Africa and Australia. In one year
the worlds crop amounts to about
10 billion bushels. That Is an
average Of almost four bushels for
every man, woman and child on
earth.
Potatoes make up an important
crop in Canada. In the past five
years the Canadian yield has aver
aged apout SO million bushels per
year. Most Of Canada's crop Is
needed for home use, but the fame
of Canadian potatoes has spread;
there are markets abroad which
take several million pounds Of seed
potatoes from Canada each year.

Question: I am uncertain as tc
the proper way Of referring to my
wife when I am among my men
acquaintance.
Answer: This Is q little out of
my line, for. am no social arbiter.
Still, in a way, your question has
to do with word usage. So here is
the proper form as the writer's OF
books ON etiquette have it.
First of all, a man should not
refer to his wife as Mrs. Blank
except when speaking to household
employees, or to his own business
temployes or strictly business asso-
ciates. Otherwise, a man should
refer to her as my wife" In the
case of their personal friends, he
should refer to his wife as Mary
A man should never refer to his
wife az "the miSsus, the madam,
the ball and chain, the little
woman" or refer to her BY any
such pet name as "Snookuns, Cud-
dies, Mamma, Baby, Dumping,
Sugarfoot, SWeetie." However, If
she is regularly known by . nick
name among neinbers of their own
social group, he may so refer to
her, as Ginger 8
A woman should not refer to- her
husband as 'Mr. Blank" or Doctor
Blank" except in speaking to house.
hold employees or strangers. Among
acquaintance my husband" is the
proper title. To close friends she
may refer to her husband as
John" ns
Both husbands and wives should
avoid the excessive use of endear-
ments,. such as sweetheart, darling
honey. =
In no event should ministers
wife refer to her husband as "Rev-
erend Blank" or, worse still, "the
Reverend" In speaking to house
hold employees or strangers, she
should say "Mr. Blank" Or, IL he
has any one Of the degrees Of doc
tor, she may properly refer to him
as Doctor Blank"

Contract Bridge

The question which is probably
put to bridge authorities most fire.
questly is: If the opponents bid a
small slam, and I am on lead,
should I lay down an ace and try
to get that trick home, or should
I make a different lead, holding the
ace in reserve?
It is impossible to give q blanket
answer to this question, because too
many imponderables are involved,
but it is pertinent to observe that
most players short of the expert
class are entirely too concerned
with the immediate trick and too
little concerned with future de-
ve.opn.ents. The plain fact is that
the lead of an ace against a slam
bid by intelligent opponents often
renders declarer's problem far
easier than it would have been on
a neutral lead. Let's look at case:
South dealer. Both sides vul-
nerable.

In the actual game West laid
down the diamond ace, and it was
all over-from that point on de-
clarer was in control, and, with the
diamond jack falling, his play was
the simplest routine.
Now let's see what would have
happened if West had not been in
such hurry to get a trick and, on
the sound analysis that the op-
ponent'S trumps were solid, had
opened his singleton trump. The
writer has no wish to imply that
South could not have made the
hand, anyway, but the point is that
he would have had a much tougher
assignment! His best play at the
second trick would be his singleton
diamond-and West should duck!
This would let South "steal' the
diamond trick, but it might also
very easily result in South's going
down. We repeat that he could then
fulfill the contract Gin more than
one way), but one thing is sure: He
would not find the hand a laydown,
as he did find it after the lead of

Two Men Admit
Stealing Chickens

Two of the four Columbus men
arrested in Columbus on charges
of chicken thefts in Union, Madi-
son and Franklin counties have
admitted stealing approximately
1000 chickens within a week,
Sheriff Walter Galloway said to-
day.
The men said their wholesale
hauls were made between January
18th and January oath, when they
were apprehended. The chickens
were sold to produce dealers.
Eliza Mattox and Millard Jordan
signed statements in the presence
of deputy sheriff Paul Stormont,
Franklin county; Sheriff Robert
Allison, Madison county, A. Mark
ley, also of Madison county, and
Sheriff Galloway.
It is expected that affidavits will
be filed in Union county against
these two, but not against John
and Cecil Buskirk, as it is not
known that they participated in
thefts in this area.
Sheriff Galloway said one of the
men stated that they had spe-
cial way of grabbing the chickens

before being put into a sack.

Council to Raise
Salaries Of Three

Marysville city council Thurs
day passed an ordinance calling
for a pay increase for the Mayor
and three other city officials
starting next year and approved
a zoning ordinance, prohibiting
trucks driving through the city
to use the side streets.
Other matters were discussed
by the members, including the
mutual aid fire agreement pact
with Milford Center in the inter-
ests of Civilian defense.
Increased pay for the Mayor,
clerk, treasurer and solicitor was
described as due to increased cost
of living as we'll as the added du-
ties being performed by each
member involved. The ordinance,
passed upon a suspension of rules
and effective Jan. l, 1852, sets the
new salaries as $1,000 a year for
Mayor and Clerks and $3.50 a
year for the treasurer and solici-
tor.
The ordinance, to prohibit
trucks travelling farther than the
city limits of Marysville to use
the side streets was also passed
under a suspension of rules.
Mayor C. L. Kingsmore announc-
ed that signs will be posted no

and that police have been re-
quested to notify the drivers by
word of mouth.

Traffic Para|ized By Ice Storm
Schools Closed
AS Buses Unable
To Get Through
Cars Skid in bitches:
Kids Find Ice Skating
Possible on Streets

An ice storm which struck
without warning during the night,
Saturday, had traffic in this area
virtually paralyzed Sunday.
Because side roads were i'm
passable and buses couldn't pos
sibly get through" Marysville
schools remained closed today.
Supt II. w. Carr said their re-
opening would depend on the
weather.
County Supt. Gale w. Baldwin
said he had been informed of only
two county schools York and
Byhalia, opening this morning.
The ice, resulting from a fine
rain which froze almost as fast
as it fell, covered everything -
streets, sidewalks, trees and auto
mobiles which were parked on
the streets.
A few motorists ventured forth
Sunday, but moved at a snail's
pace, rather than risk skidding.
Skating On Street
BY far the most popular and
convenient form of tranSporta-
tion-for those young enough to
stand it were sleds and ice
skates. A number of young peo-
pie were ice skating on the streets
a feat which has not been poss-
ible in Marysville since a similar
ice storm about 25 years ago. (
Sheriff Walter T. Galloway said
there were numerous instances of
cars skidding into bitches, but no
serious accidents were reported.
