A Taste Of the War.

News has reached this country
of the death of three American
soldiers killed IN action in the
trenches in France. The first to
fall was Private Merle D. Bay, Of
Glidden, Iowa, 81 years of age,
having enlisted last spring, land.
ed In France on the 9th of June,
and was killed when the Germans
made a raid on the trenches on
the 3 d of November. The two
others killed at the same time
we're Thomas F. Enrlght, Pitts
burg, and James B. Gresham,
Evansville, Ind.
In all, these three Americans
we're killed, five were wounded,
and twelve captured or missing.
Thisis the beginning. Fulton

whom, the first telegram will be
received telling of the death cf

Eat Plenty Of Potatoes.

Now that the country s
bumper potato crop is flowing in
to markets in an everincreasing
stream the wise housewife will
take advantage Of this cheap
source of starchy food and will
give the tubers a very important
place on the dinner table," say
home-economics specialists of
the United States Department
of Agriculture.
1t is we'll known that potatoes
are a nutritious and healthful
food, of which one may eat freely
without i'll effects. AS a matter
of fact say the department
specialists, there is something
more which can be said for the
potato, for the liberal consump-
tion of'them helps to supply the
body with alkaline salts which il
needs for normal health. Eat
more potatoes, for breakfast,
lunch, dinner or supper, there.

"Only Ten Billions More"

Some comfort is to be derived
from the statement of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury that money
is not being spent by the govern
ment so freely as had been ex-
pected and that "only ten billions
more" will be required for the
fiscal year ending June 30 next.
Up to date the government has
raised by loans and the issue of
short-term certificates about
So, 600, 100000, of which more
than $1,000, 100000 have been
loaned to the Allies. AS the
short certificates are to be re-
deemed during the year, this
will make the total war expen-
ses no more than $3.50 900, 600
from bonds and about $2,0OO,-
0O0,00 more from taxes, which
does not include considerably
more than a billion for ordinary
expenses raised by the usual
taxes.
Of the coming funds it is ex-
pected that So, 600, 900, 600 will be
raised by thrift certificates,
leaving So, 600, OOO,OO from bonds
but even that amount may not
be necessary, since toward the
end of the fiscal year short-term
certificates may be issued for
current expenses. If Congress
extends the life of these to two
or five years it is expected to
make it much easier to finance
the government.
1t seems likely that no more
than Sc, 900, 100000 will be ask
ed from regular bond issues, or
Just about what has been raised
already. This is not likely to
strain our resources. As the
money is always placed on
deposit in the reserve districts
were subscribed, there is nc
violent disturbance of the cur
rency situation and the govern.
ment is paying out money rapid
ly, so that it is kept in circulation
The next loan may be expected
somewhere about February and
is not likely to be for more thar
$4,000, 100000 1t is hoped that
West and South will subscribe
literally than formerly ard that
, a larger amount will be raised in
sums of $500 or less, The pres
