POTATOES.

A few months ago potatoes were almost worth their weight in platinum. With their rise in price came new appreciation of their intrinsic value. We began to look upon the homely vegetable as a luxary. Every tuber was treasured. It was pared thin, or baked and the skin eaten, or boil ed in the jacket and that garment removed with scrupulous cere- many. How precious every dish of potatoes looked, whether mash ed, boiled, baked or fried. And how good they tasted. We have never realized how delicious mere potatoes co be.
 And now we're in danger of slipping back into our old indif- ference again. We're coming to feel once more that potatoes are unimportant-we can take them or let them alone. We can eat other things just as we'll. We can peel them as carelessly as we please. We can let them rot, if we like. It doesn' t matter much. Because once more potatoes are plentiful, and coming to be cheap.
 We have been blessed with a huge crop. Reliable estimates place the country's total yield at more than 467, 900, ,OOO bushels. Last year it was only 285, 900, 900, and the year before, 360, 0,O90, OOO. We have about a bushel more than usual for every man, woman and child.
 Wherefore we should eat pota- toes. not scorn them. There is no more wholesome food. And this plenty comes providentially at a time when we want to save all the non-perishable foodstuffs we can to keep our European al lies and comrades from starving. This bountiful crop, wisely used, will make our cereals go much farther, without imposing any privation on us.
 Remember how good those po- tatoes were last spring. Fill up the empty bins, and have them on the table-the potates not the bins-with unfailing regularity. Arizona Gazette.

THE GREAT WAR

J citizen between the ages of 21 and 31 shall report to the polling place in the voting precinct where he resides and there register. Heavy penalties will be enforced mon those who fail to comply. The object of this registration is not to conscript all men between these ages for immediate service. It is estimated that 10000, GOO are subject to registration. The Government must know at once what man power it has to de- pend upon. It must have means of discriminating, so as to know what men should be kept for ag- ricultural work or other occupa- tions, what men should be em- ployed in ship yards and muni- ton factories and what should undertake military and naval service.
 In August or September 500,- 900 men, or one in 20 of those who register, will be called to the colors and will begin to undergo training to make them effective soldiers. Later on others will be called, the number being de- termined by the duration of the war and it's magnitude.
 The Arkansas State Council of Defense urges all patriotic citi- zens and organizations in Arkan- sas to make arrangements at once to hold public meetings on June 5, and provide patriotic programs. The initiative may be taken by any individual or or ganlZatlOn.
 The Arkansas State Council of Defense at Little Rock will pre- pare within a few days and will send to any citizen who will re- quest it a pamphlet elaborating on the causes and objects of the war and what America must do to win 1t.
 We now call on all patriotic citizens to assist the registration committee of each county in per forming it's duties on June 5; iii urging men who are liable to registration to do their bit, /" and in making of registration day an occasion to show to the world that the blood of the patri- ots of the Revolution still throbs In the viens of American freemen.
 Other States will answer our country's call Let the people so conduct themselves that in the years to come no descendant ot ours shall ever have cause to feel ashamed of the star that represents us in the flag which the world has learned to honor as the emblem of liberty.
