POTATOES FOR THE POOR

Welcome Relief Promised for Destitute Families in Hartford City, Ind. Hartford City, Ind.—On the suggestion of M. M. Weller, a prominent business man, the Magazine club of this city will put into .operation a plan which, it is believed, will afford welcome relief for many poor families in Hartford City next winter. The club will obtain permission from the owners of a number of vacant lots in the city to plant potatoes. It is believed that from 600 to 800 bushels can be raised in this manner during the summer. Next winter, when calls for help are received from destitute families, the potatoes will be distributed. Mr. Weller has agreed to donate the services of several teams and men and also to permit the club to use several lots owned by him.
