' PROUD OF 19-CENT TUBERS |
Pennsylvania Farmer Who Minimised '
Potato Coat, Produoee 8ome
Real Whoppers.
Doylestown, Pa.?Fanner Edward!
Chlttick of Plumstead township, who
raised 208 bushels of potatoes on an 1
acre of ground at 18 cents a bushel,
brought some real "taters" to the county
seat of Bucks, exhibiting "Mur- 1
phys" that averaged a pound each, to '
show what kind he raised?and they '
were whoppers.
Thirty-one potatoes filled a half- '
bushel basket heaping full. One after !
another a dozen were measured, and
they were fairly uniform In length.
Most of them measured six Inches >
ncross. They weighed about a pound ;
apiece, and Mr. Chlttick says he hud [
some that tipped the scales at one ai ?l j
three-quarters pounds.
Mr. Chlttick admits that he may
have been a little low In some of his
expense Items; but It was very little. !
Ho did nearly all the work himself,
and consequently the cost was less
than If he had to hire the kind of labor
most farmers must. The United
Stutes survey iigures, he says, show j
flint lie was not much too low on his I
labor cost. As for cutting potatoes, j
he says he cnn cut ten bushels with '
a knife In half a (lay; but he keeps
right down to business.

Hint Comes From London That New
Method of Warfare Brings
in Many.
London.?Under the title "A Londoner's
Dlnry" the Evening Standard
prints the following, which there Is
reason to believe is not lacking in substantial
truth:
"Some time ago I referred to the
rumors concerning 'docks full' of captured
submarines, and warned my readers
ngnlnst taking them too literally.
I am now in position to say that there
Is more substance than usual behind
the present gossip of successes aguinst
submarines.
"Whether anything has gone wrong
with the supply ships, or whether the ,
^lun crews dislike the task, the fact re- (
mains that there have been surrenders.
I understand too that the men of our
destroyers are elated at the results of
a certain new method of lighting submarines.
It would be Indiscreet to
give particulars, but no harm Is done
by stating that the great difficulty of
detecting the presence of a submarine
has been met with considerable success.
It Is, as Admiral Jelllcoe hinted,
only a matter of time."
Ducks Froze in Ice on Millpond.

Now York.?Edgar von Schmidt
Puull, n Prussian cavalry officer, who jfl
Ih on tho western frnnt him> vwllfon
for the German newspapers the fol- |H
lowing remarkable Incident which ho
ami Ills men witnessed recently: V
"Donnerwetter ? what a hellish jfl
noise! About me shells are bursting
and all around me is flie rat-tat-tat of
machine guns.
"It Is Just before dawn, and the fog ;
is so thick that one cun scarcely see a ,
yard ahead. All we know is that our |
troops during the night stormed and
captured the French village over yon- i
dcr. I want to see how our left wing '
Is situated, ami therefore ride to the ;
village where the enemy's bullets are
falling as thick ns hailstones during a
heavy thunderstorm. The fog continues
thick, buf It is not cold.
"I find a shelter where other cavalrymen
are taking a little rest and nt once 2ji
proceed to get some needed sleep myself,
ordering the lieutenant to rouse
me in case of necessity.
"Suddenly I am awakened by a pecollar,
uncomfortable silliness?as IS *B|
the ease often where a sleeper Is nwak- j
ened either by a sudden noise or the 1
cessation of noise. '
Baby in Battlefield. ^
"As I emerge from the dugout the
lieutenant winks nt me somewhat
clilcvously ami points directly' In front
of him. Carefully I raise my hend
over the top of the trench to eet a
View Of tilings.
"The sun had risen nnd the fog had
disappeared. In front of us is a
meadow, and there, midwny between
our trenches nnd those of the enemy,

lug on hands and knees, Is a little '
child, a baby. It appears perfectly
happy and contents, and seems to be
enjoying Itself. Not a sound Is to be
heard, not a shot Is fired. Every man
has become dumb from amazement.
"'A child has fallen from heuveni'
cries a soldier near me.
"Well, that Is about the case, for . j
where else could that child have come
from?
"Before my weary brain can summon
up any convincing reasons how that {
child got out there?whether some poor
mother lost It In the panic due to
the battle of the night before?a German
soldier Jumps out of the trench
and runs to where the child Is crawling
about. Absolute stillness prevails |
In the trenches, and only to our right,
from which this extraordinary sight is
hidden l?y a clump of trees, is the sounds
of gunfire beard.
Like Peaceful Island.
"And tlds spot, which all through the
night had beyn a veritable Inferno of
shot and shell, Is now like some peaceful
island or a cool, friendly oasis In
a burning desert. 1
"Over there In the enemy's trenches
we can see the helmets of the Frenchmen
as they peer over the edges. No
one Is any longer thinking of the enemy
or the war, or of danger. All eyes
are on the tall soldier and the child
which he is approaching. As he picks
up that little frightened, helpless hit
of humanity and fondly takes It In his
arms, a laugh, a low, friendly InugfC^'^^B
passes along our entire column. The
laugh Is Infectious, and we can feel I
how it is going along the ranks oyer
yonder. And suddenly?what, are they
going to shoot??no, on the contrary,
a great wave of applause with shouts
of 'Bravo!' from thousands of French
throats break the stillness. Then, as . ,
the soldier jumps hack Into our trench
with the child safely In his arms, our
ranks, too, burst Into a triumphant
shout which passes all along the line.
"Kven for some time after not a
shot Is tired. It Is as If we felt ahamed
of ourselves, and no one touched a
while that child was in our midst.
"When the tiring did start again it
was rather desultory and Indifferent,
and there was nothing dangerous
about it. That little child had worked
a wonderful change in the hearts of
both friend and foe- that morning."
