VERNON, GEORGIA. Gives Warning To Potato Growers Atlanta. —M. C. Gay, assistant mar keting investigator for the United States Dept., issued a warning to sweet potato growers and handlers calling their attention to the invasion of Georgia by a number of sweet po tato storage house systems, which, he charged, had been sold in other states under fraudulent representations. A similar warning, it was stated, will be sent out to all county agents by J. Phil Campbell of Athens, extension director. The government has made a thor ough investigation of ten companies handling sweet potato storage houses of the enforced air circulation type, Mr. Gay stated, and ha- found that none of the systems brought to the attention of the government is an ef ficient protection to the potato. He advised that no one should purchase or become interested in any system of this type without first making a thorough investigation and without advising with the department of agri culture or the nearest county agent. "These concerns," said Mr. Gay "maki elaborate claims for the effi ciency of their storage houses, and, in order to sell their products, have conducted a propaganda against the government system of storage houses. They have gone so far as to claim that their systems will cure any dis ease the sweet potato is heir to in forty-eight hours. To one familiar willi sweet potato storage, of course, such claims are readily recognized as impossible. “Many of the testimonials issued in regard to these patented systems, pra! ing their < fficieney and attack ing the government system, come from stockholders in the company. In the case of one such testimonial the government inspected the potatoes stored in the very hou e which was so highly recommended and found that between forty and forty-five per cent of the polatoes coming from this house had decayed. "Some of these companies are now trying to break into the Georgia ter ritory and I feel it my duty to issue a warning to all prospective buyers, advising them to invest no money in patented system without competent (advice and thorough investigation." Oil Inspection Case Postponed Atlanta. Hearing of the bill of the Texas Oil company, recently filed In the federal court for the northern district of Georgia’ for an Injunction to restrain the state from collecting o'! inspecting !'■ es has been postponed until April 17.

Tho dispatch adds that, while the outcry is exaggerated, there is some ground for it. The measures taken by the military commanders in many cases were unnecessary, revengeful and politicaly foolish. In many towns as soon as the agreement was reached to terminate the strike the workers retired to their strongholds, whereup- ; on officers of the government troops instituted inquiries, searched houses I and removed the workmen and their leaders who, in some cases, were court martialed and summarily shot. - •- BRITISH REVIVE THE CAT O' NINE TAILS TO ARREST CRIME London.—Because of the prevalence of petty crime British criminal courts are reviving punishment by whipping.

PLAN UNIQUE FOREST SYSTEM New Yorkers Aim to Make County One Continuous Park, and Have the Trees Pay Taxes. To make the loafing acre work is the plan of Otsego county, New York, which has started a campaign to plant a forest of 100 acres on the waste lands in each of tile 24 townships of that county. The plans, says the New York Times, are to develop a county system similar | to the city park plan, with its har monized system of connecting boule vards. The project involves the de velopment of a comprehensive highway system. The forests will he located so that they will serve as green nature sign- j hoards along the highways, to adver tise to the world that the county lias its own forests, owned, planted and maintained by the public for the fu ture generations. As the trees mature they will pro ! vide in the future an income which j will mean an actual cash return to j ! serve as an offset against taxation. | ; European towns often pay the cost of | i operation of their government from [ their forests, having no taxes, but this I requires a greater area of forest than ! is proposed for Otsego.

As a lubricant a drop or two will set things going which refused to go be fore. As a cleanser it can often be used with great advantage in place of soap and water.
