OUR ARIsToCRATIC POTATO

How dear to my heart are the

When fond recollections presents

The AK and the sawbuck, the great
cord OF piled wood
| looked at with horror-that !
must saw through.
The jam jars, the apples, the she'll
barks, the bacon
That hung in the cellar In slabs
long and thin
What wonderful dreams at this time
they awaken;
The old fall potatoes we dumped
in the bin.
The plain old potatoes,
The cheap fall potatoes.
The big smooth potatoes
We dumped in the bin.
We bought them by bushels-some
fifteen and twenty
Ana aau tnem Dolleu, pakeu,
creamed, sliced. diced, stewed,
fried.
The pies might be few, but the spuds
there were plenty
For all OF us boys and the neigh
bors beside.
We called them but spudsls'twas no
honor to be one:
And some called them murphies,
so common they were.
But now | take off my tall hat when
| see one,
And greet 1t with pleasure and al
ways say, Sir
The much-sought potato,
The ten-cent potato.
The high-priced potato,
always call Sir.
How old Farmer 81, with his boots
and tucked trousers.
Came creaking and signing upon
the highroad
With bushels of spuds that were
certainly rousers
For size. shape and flavor, and
sold the whole load
For three or four dollars; and Hod
Griggs. the grocer,
Gave 81 half in cash and he traded
the rest.
| bought me a dollars worth yes
terday. Oh. Sir
lost both OF them through a hole
In my vest.
The precious potato,
One-carrat potato.
Gem-studded potatod
And that is no Jest.

GIVES POTLATCH WORKERS
GOOD CHANCE TO BUY BONDS

B. T. Byrns, George Creighton and
Congressman Burton L. French visit
ed Potlatch yesterday in the interest
of the Liberty Loan campaign. Con-
gresham French addressed a mass
meeting and made a mastery argu-
ment in favor of the loan.
Potlatch is toeing the mark in the
Liberty Loan as she does in all pa
triotic movements. The Potlatch Lum-
Der company bank is making it easy
for the men employed there to pur-
chase Liberty bonds. The purchaser
is asked to pay 10 per cent of the
value of the bond in cash and the bank
agrees to carry the balance of 80 per
cent at 4 per cent interest, just what
the bond draws, until the final pay
ment is made.
On this plan many OF the men in the
employ are subscribing for bonds and
he total from that community prom
Ises to be wholly satisfactory.

expenditures for new equipment have
been made carefully and with the
greatest good to the greatest number

EDISON RETURNS
FROM SEA VOYAGE
MAY HAVE WORKED
OUT THE CURE FOR THE
U-BOAT.

ORANGE, N. J.-Thomas A. Edison
has spent the past 10 weeks on the
high seas striving to perfect some
means for defeating the submarine,
his laboratories announced today.
Edison issued stirring Liberty bond
appeal on his return home.
1t is believed that because Mr.. Edi-
son has returned home and that he
announced that his sea voyage is end
ed, and from the strict reticense con-
cerning his whereabouts, that the in
ventor has probably found his much
desired submarine weapon.
1t is understood that Edison's ex-
periments include the duplication, as
