dining car service, is TO be no more.
Hazen J. himslf breaks the news
to patrons and producers.
To the former he has sent an ap'
peal for approval Of the company's
adoption of this policy, in keeping
with the request of President Wilson
that food resources be conserved.
The "big baked potato" has been one
of the northwest's famous CASTRO
nomic institutions. 1t has been the
biggest and best meal for the money
ever offered on diner. The average
big baked potato has been bigger
than the biggest baked potato pat
ron's capacity, and therefore waste
has resulted. To eliminate this
waste the Northern Pacific hence.
forth will serve ordinary, run-o:the-
field baked potatoes.
Titus Explains.
After explaining the conditions to
the potato producer, Mr.. Titus says:
Il trust you will appreciate the spirit
in which this letter is sent you, and
it is being done with view to avoid
ing any disappointment on your part
in anticipating the usual demand by
us for such of these great big pota'
toes as you may be able to raise dur
ing the coming season and other sea-
sons during the continuance of the
war.
"In the meantime We will continue
to be in the market for the field'run
potatoes such as all other catering In,
situations will require, and we hope
that the extensive advertising the
Northern Pacific has given the pota-
to industry throughout the world will
have created such demand for the
western grown potato that you will
be encouraged to produce increasing
quantities year after year.
"Upon the resumption of normal
conditions we shall be glad to restore
the great big baked potato in oul
dining cars to the place It now
holds"

ACRE LOTS POPULAR


When it comes to exclusiveness, resi-.
dents of the rapidly developing eastern
section of the city have it all over
the nabobs of Quality Hill. Nothing
smaller than a block is considered a
fit building lot on the eastern frontier
of capitaldom From block the lots
run up to ten acres The new homes
being built are attractive bungalows
for the most part, with abundant
spaces for lawns, poultry parks and
gardens, and lots Of room for. the kid
dies to kick about in. A recent pur-
chaser is Lieutenant Fred Graham, who
has bought the block in Governor
Pierce's addition bounded by Nineteenth
and Twentieth streets, Broadway and
Thayer. Work will begin at once on

private property. To force a man
to give up his time or any other pri-

THE LITTLE PLOT.

Each little plot can add its ten or
more bushels of potatoes to the com
mon stock" urges an eastern unlVer3
sity writer on products.
OLord! what couldn't we do to the
war fiend If we'd only all get BUSY:
And we needn't count our potatoes IN
bushels, either.
Take out your pencil.
A plot of ground thirty by ten FEET
will hold Is hills of potatoes. Prop
erly irrigated and cultivated, when
labor will mean better health to you'
each hill should yield enough potatoes
for a meal for an ordinary family
Turn your figuring toward meals
not bushels Very good, you have po
tatoes for Is meals, potatoes once a
day for nearly two months and a
half.
How many little plots of land at
least 100 by 10 feet in this country
plots on which nothing has been rails
ed? Two million would he a ,eiy
conservative estimate, wouldn't it?
Say two, million 80 by u plots, each
with Is meals In it. One hundred
and fifty millions of meals! .,
Now, let's think over our potatoes
our millions of meals, a bit. ..,
They're all clear gain!
Your seed potatoes cost something.
But you cut out and plant the eyes,
and have the remainder of the pota-
toes for your table In both these mat
tiers there's some little direct money
cost !" But your outdoor work has saw
ed you doctor and druggist bills. 1t
has given you more charitable view
of your brother who has TO exist by
hard manual labor. You have learn
ed something new. You have discov-
cred that you can grow things one
of the most fascinating bits OF knowl'
edge of which the human mind is cap
able.
Our Is hills of potatoes are small
matter, comparatively. So is the
ant. Multiply the ant, and it will
clean from the earth all living things.
Nature so loves small things tina Va
and all other created things are but
arrangements of minute cells. Feed
ing the whole world until it bdrsts
with gorging is but matter of null
tiplication of our Is hills Of potatoes.
We have only to see and to do. We
have only to be more Chinese, and
not waste the land, the opportunity
and the strength that the Lord has
given US.
But we are a peculiar people, in
some respects. We're in such an al
mighty hurry to reach a destination
that often we never see and enjoy
the most beautiful spots along the
way. We push so hard for big re.
suits that we don't realize that all
bigness is but some sort of combina
ton of small nesses. We say thing
is small, rely upon the other fellow
to do it and so It's often never done.
The cry of all humanity is for more
food. We Americans are paying gold
dust prices for our simplest neces'
saries. We have all as to climate
fresh water, arabic land, tools and
man.power that's needed. Shall we
stupidity leave the problem for solu-
ton by the few? Or. shall millions
of us raise IS meals, or $500, accord
ing to our opportunity?
United we stand" surely means
much more than we've ever dug out
Of it.

self in the feeble character of counter
attacks as compared to the all but ir-
resistibfe drive a year ago. Assault
after assault has dashed itself to pieces
before the French and British trenches.
The revolt in the navy, these officers
said, was a more serious matter for
Germany. The sailors generally have
not been subjected to the battering of
the guns day after day, month after
month. They insisted that if there is
discomfort among the sailors with their
condition, it must be even greater in
the army.
As one possible explanation of the
navy revolt they pointed out that ever
since submarine wari1re was started by
the Germans the British have adopted
the consistent, policy of suppressing
information as to the fate of the sub
marines that went to the bottom by
their patrols. The policy was adopted
as deliberate method of breaking
down the morale of the submarine
crews.
Crews for the U-boats are understood
to be drafted from the high seas fleet
as needed, The big ships are practical
~ idle They have done little since the
North Sea fight but steam out to target
practice behind mine protected zones.
For the men of the ships there has been
little but the deadly routine of this
business varied only by calls for duty

that the man referred was John T.
Heating of Chicago and that Easement
did not know that he had been dead

He said that he had also spoken with
the sailor referred to and had repeated

his ship and in the navy.
Sailors and deputies were entitled
to do this, according to Deputy Vogt-
herr who declared it was incererct to

with them
Deputy Dittmann said that sailors

there was no talk of such a plan men
toned by Admiral Won Capelle
The admiral, again rising, denied
that he had accused the Independent
socialists of Matching plans and in
fluencing sailors and he added that he

the guilty parties had confessed to hav-

which included Deputies Vogtherr

was discussed and they had been told
that they were committing punishable
