London. May %. - The successes
against submarines have resulted in a
distinct Improvement in our food
situation" said Premier Lloyd George
to-day. in the House of Commons.
The Premier said more effective
blows had been dealt the submarines
during the last three weeks than in
any corresponding period of the war.
The shipping losses for May. the
Premier said, probably would show
reduction from the April figures.
In speaking of the success of the an
tisubmarine methods he said:

A Americans Help

I'VE owe a very considerable debt
of gratitude to the great American
people for the effective assistance they
have rendered and the craft they
have placed at our disposal. Now
that the American nation is in the
war ii is easier to make arrangements
for the protection of our mercantile
marine than it was before"
Mr.. Lloyd George asserted there
was no danger to the country from
starvation but that the utmost econ
omy of foodstuffs was still essential.
The submarine menace need cause
no fear that the war is going to- be
lost for that reason" he declared.
U-BOats Failure
''If it is true that the Germans are
depending mainly upon subma rine
warfare for success, / am able to
say they are doomed to dsappoint-
ment,' Mr.. Lloyd George continued.
The German submarine warfare is
destined to be the greatest miscalcu-
lation in the whole series of miscal-
culations of that hated empire"

BIG OPPORTUNITY
FOR BOYS and GIRLS

re
Applications for the various boys
and girls clubs are coming in slowly,
owing, no doubt, to the fact that nc
one has had sufficient time to give
these matters personal attention. 1t
is hoped, however, that the young peo-
pie over this county will realize t he
Importance Of this opportunity to do
patriotic service by helping even in
a small way by raising food products
Every indication at present points
to tremendous demand for food the
coming fall and winter. The millions
Of men and women thruout the world
who have been called away from pro-
ductive employment to fight in the
trenches, act as nurses, or work in
munitiOn factories, has greatly increas
ed the demand for food, and at the
same time lessened the number of pro-
ducers. This condition, together with
the unfavorable season last year, will
bring about grave situation unless
all hands aid in every possible way.
So it is up to the boys and girls to
get busy and raise chickens, pigs, or
perhaps best Of all, to raise plot
OF potatoes or tomatoes.
Last year Medina and Mahoning
counties had a great race for the
greatest number of entries and Medina
won out, but this year Mahoning al
ready has $50 entries, while Medina
has only about rs. Mahoning also
promises to have 300 entries before
June 1st.
Those who saw the display of pota-
toes exhibited by the boys Of the coun-
ty at Medina late in November, pro-
nounced it the best display they had
ever viewed, surprising that of the
State fair. 1t is hoped that this
years exhibit will be even better.
The following are the rules of the
tomato and potato contests:
Rules for Potato Contest
1. Any boy between 10 and 18 years
of age January l.. 1917, who lives or
attends school in the county may COM

2. Each boy must grow three
twentieths of an acre of potatoes.
8. This piece of ground must be di-
vided into three equal plots, one Of
which will receive no fertilizer
another plot will receive acid sulphate
and the third plot will receive acid
phosphate and Sulphate of Ammonia.
A. No commercial fertilizer is to be
used except that furnished by the
Barrett Company. This must be ap-
piled according to directions.
If manure is used it should be ap-
piled uniformly over all Of the plots.
5. The potatoes on each plot are to
be dug and weighed in the. presence

1917. =
