RESTAURANT OWNERS
APPROVE SEED PLAN
Scheme to Save Eyes of
Spuds Welcomed.

Blind potatoes" will presently be
the only sort for sale in Missoula
restaurants. Local cafe owners, al
most to a man, have received with en-
thusiasm a suggestion that all potato
eyes be cut out. saved and turned over
to farmers for planting. Secretary D.
d. Richards of the chamber of COM
merce made the suggestion. He re-
ceived several approving letters yes
terday from hotel and restaurant men,
Most of the replies brought requests
for instruction in potato binding
Richards turned the requests over to
0. b. Whipple, agricultural expert
for Montana State college. This is the
answer:
Use the little cup shaped knife made
Tor shaping the tiny potato balls
served with fish in most cafes. Cut
into the potato with this, going as
deep as you easily can. The eye thus
cut out. is exactly right for planting.

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS
WORK FOR WOUNDED
Several Groups Earnestly
Engaged in Making
Bandages.
IN NEED OF MONEY
Lack Of Proper Cloth Forces
Workers to Devise Meth
DDS Of Raising Funds.
IN NEED OF MONEY

Zeal for helping wounded soldiers in
the battlefields of Europe has enlisted
groups of high school girls in sym
pathetic service. There arc four of
these groups. meeting upon different
DAYS of the week to make bandagcs.
Miss Mildred Hines has been elected
leader Of one group, with Miss Burke
and Miss Downing to assist with IN
structions and suggestions. A second
group is led by Miss Mabel Simpkins,
with Miss Dyer and Miss Christensen
assisting. Miss Irma Wagner leads the
group that meets on Wednesdays and
Miss Book and Miss Chadwick are the
teachers helping. The fourth group
is led by Miss Lynetta Anderson and
assisted by Miss Wright and Miss Ro-
nan.
The pleasure of working As minutes
or longer upon these several days each
week for cause so vital, Is lessened
slightly by the difficulty in procuring
enough Of the right kind of cloth to
make bandages. The girls are making
plans to raise money. 1t has been
suggested that the seniors give them
at least $40 Of the funds raised by the
class for the customary senior carnival
or senior remembrance, which will be
this year devoted to larger patriotic
service.
The high school girls, whose organ
ization is named the High school Girls
Patriotic league, have planned also to
collect magazines and other lines of
reading matter to send to soldiers upon
guard duty along bridges and rail-
roads. This league in the Missoula
county high school is proud Of being
pioneer in the magazine to- soldier
field. 1t is hoped to enlarge this phase
Of helpfulness to notable degree.

General Joffre and the other members

pass from the railroad station to the
White House. said +. j. O'Brien of
the forest service who returned from a
detail in the national capital yester-
day. II was out early in order to get
a closeup view of the visitors, but
the crowds were so thick that after
waiting awhile, | decided to make 81
detour around the square to get nearer
to the main thoroughfare, if possible.
but this time l landed so far away
that l was unable to see anything at
all.
Besides the occasion of the arrival
of the French commission, the thing
about the capitol city that struck me
most" said Mr.. OBrcn. was the re
