sP E I E mrnnttm *$%* A FOUR 154 POTATOES GROW FROM ONE LONE SEED: HAS ROMANTIC TOUCH Speaking about prolific potato crops, it would seem that W Gal areau of Nymore Is entitled to the prize belt for what he raised from one, what might be termed, "measly" little seed potato, for the patriotic spud produced 154 potatoes, 44 of which are as srewll or smaller than the parent, while others range up to 2x1% inches. The small potato seed which pro duced such wonderful results had quite a history and determination to see it through is whiat brought the incident to become public According to Mr Galfarneau, i,t was in 1917 that he sent to a seed hpuse and ordered from a" catalogue three packets of potato .seed and planted them, the crop being prac tically a fizzle on account of the dry weather and the frosts What seed was available from that crop, Mr. Galarneau replanted last spring, among them the one, lone, tiny ppud. which was described as of a compos ite of potatoes grown in the United States, Germany, Chili, Switzerland, France and Mexico, and Mr, Galar neau says he believes iit was that or something out of the ordinary. The potatoes and vine are still at the res idence and anyone is welcome to call after supper and take a look at them, and take a picture. For lack of a suitable name, Mr. Galarneau says is thinking of calling them the Bemidji Pioneers. That should insure a large circulation, at least MAJ.

Meaaf _*- ^^ffH-^tmkmm ssM THE OTHER FELLOW By GERALDINE UEE (Copyricht, 1(11, Western Newspaper Union "For an artistic prevaricator and rounder up of whimsical fiction, com mend as to Darby Wycherly," was the unanimous sentiment as to the leading characteristic of the assistant book keeper of Weston Company, Limited. Always, however, good-natured toler ance and approbation underlay the ex pression, for Darby was one of those whole-souled, accomodating geniuses whose great underlying motive in life is to help some other fellow out of a close corner. His ready wit stood as shield for many an overslept office attache, base ball enthusiast, and late night reveler. "Hip nerve appals me!" Jerome Wes ton the strict disciplinarian, was wont to say, "but somehow he mellows down the situation and holds the boys to a fab? average of good behavior." The brow4of the chief was stormy and menacing one morning as he called Darbv into his private office. ,i "W^cherly," he spoke sharply, "one tt my friends tells me he saw Vance in the city yesterday." "Sundayyesterday? Yes, sir" mum bled Darby slowly, trying to .gain time lo brace himself for the situation. "And you were with him. so none of your patent explanations! Vnnce is supposed to be 200 miles away on a monthly trip His coming home Is ir expense and waste of time. It cannot be tolerated. Vance will have to po." Dnrtv's face became mournful. He uttered a deep sigh. "Mr. Weston," he said, and met the nspicious eyes of his chief without itlnchlng, "there are moments in every life where'the call of love, of duty hushes that of business. I beg of you, sir. to look leniently upon the natural break of a man who for months has anticipated an Important family event, -and comes home on a hurrv call. Sir," and Darby was positively eloquent and pathftic"an addition to the iVonce fam'ly." "Ah," murmured Mr. Weston, His mion softened. He had no children of his own, though he longed for them. Darhy noted the effect he had pro duced Hts success emboldened him. "Str," he announced with ardor, "twins." "Lucky man!" commented Mr. Wes ton, thoroughly humanized. "A boy and a girl, respectively, twelM' and ten pounds, and, sir," con cluded Darby, platfng a fitting coping stone on the visionary edifice he had constiucted, "the boy Is to be named after you and the girl after Mrs. Weston." "I declare! I really appreciate the honor," said Mr. Weston greatly stirred up. "Here, Wycherly, see that some flowers are sent to Mrs Vance," and he extended a .$5 bill, "and tell her that as soon as Mrs Weston letuins to the city, we will both call upon her. I suppose Vance has gone back to his route?" "Oh, yes," unblushlngly acceded Dar by, "he knows the demands of busi ness Yes, indeed!" "When he returns," observed Mr. Weston, "he may expect a raise of salarj." Darby went to the florist's and pur chased the finest bouquet $5 would buy He Intimated to Mrs Vance that "the office" was awaiting "glad news," that all hands in its service were nnxious to congratulate Milton when he returned to their, midst filled with parental dignity. He was half minded to disclose his story to Mrs. Vance, but he fancied it might disturb his hostess, "I only hope she will do her best," soliloquized Darby. "Maybe Weston will forget all about it." A week went by. Mr. Weston again called Darby into his office. "Wycher- ly," he said, "I want you to get word to Mrs. Vance my wife and myself will call upon her tomorrow evening to see those two littlelittle darlings. Why, she almost wants to adopt them I" "Yes, sir, I will attend to it," prom ised Darby, and retired with a groan of dismay, which grew to wild ex cited .recklessness as an hour later there came a call for him on the tele phone. The voice at the other end of the wire was that of Milton Vance "I say Darby," he called, "got home last night. Want you to come up to the house soon as can. Glori ous news!" "Milton!" gasped Darby, "don't come near here, don't be seen by any of the boys till I get to you. Oh, thun-' der! what a mess! Say, I've queered both of us. Remember when you came home on the sly? Well, Weston found it out, called you down, and to square you I Jold him there were twins." "Ha' ha! Ho! ho!" the amazement of Darby sounded over the wire. "To make It worse, I declared there was a boy and a girl, one to be named Jerome, after him, the other Dorothy, after his wife, and he is tickled to death. He Is coming to see you with Mrs. Weston." "You wizard!" was shouted back in exultant tones. "JeromeDorothy! You jolly old prophet! You Incompar able old romaneer! That's easy." "What is?" questioned Darby. "Naming them. I got home last night on a hurry call. That brave lit tle woman! Two of themand such kldsl "You don't really meantwins?" faltered Darby. "I do And Darby nearly fainted from all 0 train and reaction, ONE-PIEOE FROCKS H1I I .M.l I .I.. Wool Jersey Popular Fabric for These Simple Gowns. Imported Models Are Being Shown fO* Early Fall Wear With a Large Cellar. Wool jersey continues to be exceed ingly popular for the one-piece frock Of utmost simplicity. Several of the very good looking imported models r. shown for early fall wear with, a large( collar which can be dropped about the neck, this arrangement being one which lends an air of distinction to its wear er in these collarless days, observes a fashion writer. It also gives an unde niable serviceable air to a type of frock which would formerly bave done duty as a spo. costume, but is now considered suitable for all kinds of formal wear. Navy blue wool Jersey enjoys scant favor as compared with blue serge, but there seems to be a decided vogue for black jersey, this material being surprisingly attractive. Invariably It is embroidered in bright colors or white, One smart black Jersey frock for early fall wear was embroidered bold ly in black and white chenille. The high collar and girdle were of knitted chenille in black and white. There was a crocheted border of white chenille around the tunic and white buttons fastened the blouse and tunic down the Side front. Another wool jersey frock war la beige and of monastic simplicity, its swathing collar being tied by a severe cord with* weighted ends. This inter* estlng col|ar and large patch pockets afforded tbe only note of relief to the severity of this model. Satin is very much used for the mid season frock and numerous smart new designs in black, gray and blue satin are appearing these days. A particularly smart model In taupe satin was seen recently. The gown Is fashioned pn Russian lines and has no trlmni'lng save for a narrow frill of white at the' neck* and sleeves. The blouse Is fastened-vt the left "side of the front with small round ^material buttons.
