THE SWEET POTA1
t substantial South G(
sweet potato, has arrived.'
Two years ago its meritne a food product was
recognized only in the immediate section in
which it was produced. The demand for in
creased food supplies caused the government to
give the swaet potato belated recognition and
after some effort on the part of Southern Con
gressmen and Senators it was made a part of the
army ration, under certain conditions. Then
th- government became interested because of
the great waste due to rot and hasty marketing
of the sweet potato crop, and devised means of
curing, besides giving assistance in marketing.
Now comes Manager Crane, of the local pack
ing plant of Armour and Company, and says that
sweet potatoes are second only to corn as a feed
for hogs, producing the hard meat required for
export. "Feed hogs on sweet potatoes, with a
small amount of peanuts from the time they are
pigs, and the meat should be in every way satis

Under recent orders the cocked hat was dis

uniforms, which will be sufficiently handsome
and chaste for any occasion, though they will
not be adorned with the big show of gold lace
prevailing for so long. The new order not only
