President Wilson Shows
Purpose of United States

in War
ssThe purposes of the United States
in this war are known to the whole
world-to every people to whom the
truth has been permitted to come.
They do not need to be stated again.
We seek no material advantage OF
any kind. We believe that the intol-
cradle wrongs done in this war by
the furious and brutal power OF the
imperial German government ought
to be repaired, but not at the expense
of the sovereignty of any people; ra-
Their vindication Of the sovereignty
of those that are weak and those that
are strong. Punitive damages, the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of empires, the estab-
lishment of selfish and exclusive eco
nomic leagues we deem inexpedient
and in the end worse than futile mo
proper basis for peace of any kind,
least of all for an enduring peace.
That must be based upon justice and
fairness and the common rights OF
mankind" President Wilson.

Warning Against irresponsible
Operators Given by
Markets Bureau

W1dIhclS DuACdu
Farmers or others shipping grain,
hay or feed are advised by the bureau
of markets to deal with no person Of
unknown responsibility. Some buy
ers will order products under a trans
action known as the shippers order
bill of lading." Some Of these buyers
order products shipped in the hope
that the price will go up in the mean
time and enable them to sell at profit
to local dealer. Some of these opera
ators have insufficient capital and the
goods may fall back on the shipper.
In one case man without financial
standing succeeded in purchasing
large shipments of hay and mill feed.
As there was no advance in price and
as he had no cash to meet the drafts
he held the goods several weeks in
the cars. Some We're on the track 20
days before unloading. The day the
department investigator was on the
ground this man had % cars on the
track, papers for IL more en- route
and number more still to be shipped.

and the relative cost per hundred ca
tories of the other material is shown.
The table shows IL articles are cheap
er than bread on the basis of calories
obtained for the money, two are of

disastrous, only one man out Of IL
engaged was killed, wounded, missing

While the publication of certain
fact might appear harmless to the
readers of a paper, it might be harm
full to the country's interests. The ar
rival of the first contingent in France
was announced by the press with seem

Potatoes on the American
Dinner Table Save Wheat
for the Men in France

The more potatoes you eat the less
bread you need at the same meal. On
an average one medium-sized potato
will supply about as much starch as
two medium-sized slices Of bread.
Therefore, those who make pota-
toes an important dish can safely cut
down on the amount Of light OF hot
bread, wheat mushes or macaroni.
Wherever potatoes are plentiful To-
cally, especially in the case OF the
early or summer varieties which do
not store well, housewives are urged
to use them plentifully as a substi-
tute for bread-and thereby furnish
wheat for the men in khaki in France.

sWith the World

We Fight"
Franklin X. Lane, secretary Of the
interior, shows cause of America and

america speaks for the world in
fighting Germany. Mark on the map
those countries which are Germany's
allies and you will mark but four,
running from the Baltic thru Austria
and Bulgaria to Turkey. All the other
nations the whole globe around are in
arms against her or are unable to
move. There is deep meaning in this.
We fight with the world for an honest
world in which nations keep their
word, for world in which nations do
not live by swagger or by threat, for
a world in which men think Of the
ways in which they can conquer the
common cruelties Of nature instead Of
inventing more horrible cruelties to
inflict upon the spirit and body Of a
man, for a world in which the ambition
or the philosophy Of a few shall not
