LONDON, Oct. 21—“P_otatoes are going to be scarcer than ever they have been in our lifetime.” So says Mr. R.

A. Thompson,

a potato merchant of Epworth, near Don-

caster, who has completed a survey of the Yorkshire and

Lincolnshire crops.

In an interview he declared that 50 per cent. of the

"crops in England had been

ruined by flood and blight.

Therefore England was 2,000,000 tons short of potatoes.

The Ulster Ministry of Agricul- ture in the monthly notes, says of the Potato crcp-“The long spell of wet weather, the prolific growth of weeds, and the early attacks of blight have had a serious effect on potato crops. 0n dry soils the re- sults so far have been fairly good, but while the main crop has im. proved considerably since the end of July. it is not expected that the yield will reach average dimensions. Second earlies have given fairly 800d. yields, but the main crop gen- erally is in only fairqto poor con- dition.

Mr. Charles Waughp 72 years of age and a highly re- spected citizen of Summerside, lies in an unconscious con- dition in the Prince County Hospital, the victim of a reck- I less “hit and run” auto driver, whose identity at present is unknown. I

They were driving behind Mr. Waite’s racing stallion, “Bud Axworthy.” When fifty feet i éfroin the eastern approach to the concrete highway com- ' ling into Summerside their carriage was struck from be- i hind by a car travelling in the same direction. Mr. Waugh was thrown violently to the ground and rendered uncon- scious. Mr. Waite does not know whether he jumped or was thrown out, but he was uninjured. The wagon was completely demolished and the horse was painfully cut about the feet.

Five fundamental conditions for ending the Manchurian difficulty had been presented at Geneva to the Council of the League of Na- tions. Although press dispatches from blanking, Chinese capital, said Chinese vernacular newspapers re- ferred to the five conditions as “another 21 demands" similar to the famous terms laid down by Japan in 1915, which aroused such keen r ‘ "it in China, reports from Geneva indicated China might accept the five points in whole or part.

LONDON, Ont., Oct. 2l.—'I‘he curtain went down here today on the annual meeting of the Ontario Liberal Association. Delegates from all comers of the province return- ed to their homes tonight after deciding many questions pertinent to the affairs of the party.

A year's moratorium of mortgag- es on house properties and farm lands was suggested in a resolution which was passed by the meeting shortly before closing. It called up- on the Provincial Government to declare a debt holiday of twelve months, similar to that set up dur- ing the war. It would prevent fore-
