I *f $1 would change their requests. tL Tfce American Legion has been exert fagJts^ueace to have the relatives exceptional reasons, leave r the bo^es in the soil "their sacrifice r?)?s!ma4g.^cared."_-A?. we read ex-' tracts from a letter appearing in editorial column of The State of the 19th, written by Thomas Nelson Page, former ambassador to Italy, after having visited the American cemeteries in France we were more strongly convinced of the wisdom of the legion's stand. We wish to quote one paragraph of this letter. In speaking of the cemetery at Romange, where over 22,000 American boys lie, he says: "We were told that the bodies were to be exhumed. Standing there it seemed incredible. It seemed desecration to dig them up. It would be :li_ nrVin them lmpossiuie cuuiu uiwn. ?uv best see their present resting place. When General Lee was asked to lend his name to a plan to remove the Confederate dead from Gettysburg he replied that he had always felt that the fittest resting place for a soldier was tfie field of hoiior on which he had'nobly laid down his lite, we knew as we stood there that he was right." The gTQ'jf s of those who rest in France will not be forgotten by the ijegiori on Memorial day, May 30th.* rhe Paris post this year as last will hold memorial services in every American cemetery in France, and the graves of those who sleep far from tlie beaten track as jvell will have fcfceir * wreaths arid flags. In Great Britain, Belgiuiri, wherever American soldiers and sailors lie, their jraves will be tended by men of the legion. Tlie solemn obligation of the teg-ion in America to remember the comrades wuu icow ? x_ sized in a bulletin issued by national headquarters aslringffor funds for the decoration of A. E. F. graves, which willbe directed by the department of France. Tt is requested that each department raise a sura equal to ten" rents a member and that ?o post contribute less than $5.00. Post No. 24' iias already forwarded a contribution. I wonder how ' many veterans in this community who nave out. xuku with the legion have or Will contribute t6 this fund. Is it not true that the legion 'post is the' spokesman f&r the ex-servjce men of that community? rberfr are still a number of/men an dewberry who should join Past No; 24. if you don't like the'way it is rifti 'you , can come nearer changing its policies from the inside -tHa^:the. jutside.

SWEET POTATO SJORAGt r cHOUSE FOR NEWBBERRY Some time ago a movement was aunched by the Chamber of Commerce in cooperation with the county agent to buflcT a sweet potato storage house in Newbery. After ais:ussing the different phases of the proposition, Mr. W. S. Matthews, secretary of the chamber of com* i-:u: r 4-V,?, mercc, guaranteed me ouiiumg uj. house provided we would get 50 farmers fco $edge io plant an acre of potatoes each. Tr M. Mills, county was appointed a committee of one tov.?ecure the pledges. Through the cooperation of Wv S. Matthews, T. M. Seawell a.nd T. E. Keitt, pledges for more than 50 acres have been secured. While this assures the house, we shall be glad for more farBiers to plant potatoes for storage in this house. Just make application to the chamber of commerce to recorvn vnu storaere room and if you haven't the plants he will tell you where you canjget them. Potatoes banked in the old- way suffer an average loss -of about 50 per cent. Potatoes cured in the modern storage house, not more than 5 per cent. Potatoes banked the old way will not stand shipping. Potatoes cured in the storage house will ship well. The average yield of sweet potatoes per acre for this state is about 100 bushels. This yield can be doubled. A rich sandy loam soil is best suited for them. It should, not be extremely rieh. Bows should be 3 to 3 1-2 feet wide. Plants should be set about 16 inches apart. Apply 300 pounds acid phosphate, 300 pounds kainit and 200 pounds cotton seed meal per acre or 800 pounds of a 6-2-5 fertilizer. About 1U,UUU plants are rajuueu to set an acre. It is more economical to set about 2,000 plants early and set the remainedr from cuttings of the vines. The vine cuttings usually produce the smoothest and best potatoes and they are not so likely to be diseased. Nancy Halls and Porto Ricos have proven to be the best keepers and the best sellers. T. M.
