RECIPE FOR POTATO BREAD

E. L. Wagner. cook at Camp So,
makes delicious bread about two
thirds of the ingredients of which are
potatoes. Mr.. Wagner's recipe for
his bread follows:
ITO % pounds of dry mashed po-
tatoes, add four Magic yeast cakes
which have been placed in enough
luke warm water to disintegrate them.
Mix thoroughly with the potatoes.
Let stand for twelve hours. Add lard,
sugar. salt as usual. and knead into
enough white flour to make a very
stiff dough (Fourteen pounds of white
-four should be sufficient if the mini
mum amount of moisture has been
used in the potatoes and yeast) Let
rise to double its size. then knead into
loaves. Let rise and bake.
This should make SO pounds of
bread Anchorage Railroad Record.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, March 29.-The govern
ment has begun drastic retrenchments
in the managements of the railroads
which some of the old-time railroad
men declare may disrupt the business
organizations which the railroads have
built up thru years Of effort.
The latest move is to dismiss all
salaried attorneys connected with the
Rock Island system, All legal work to
be done hereafter for the Rock Island
will be compensated for on fee basis
This means that some high priced
lawyers will he dropped from the salary
list altho they may be retained to ham
Ole the legal business when necessary
on a fee basis
Thus far the new move dismissins
the salaried attorneys has been APP
piled only TO the Rock Island. The
purpose of this discrimination can only
be surmised thus far but the guess
here is that the government expects
TO try this out on one of the larger
systems first before extending it to
other systems.
Two of the leading Rock Island at
torneys in Iowa with headquarters in
Des Moines, Fred Sargent, formerly
Of Sioux City and Attorney Gamble,
who came here from Oklahoma, have
opened an office for the practice OF
law.
The railroads are also being re-
CURED thru government orders to do
away with freight business solicitors
largely, close down their downtown
ticket offices for the sale Of passenger
tickets, thus throwing out of employ
ment a large number of trained and
high saIaried men and men recognized
as particularly capable. 1t is the let
ting out of this class of men which
causes the question to be raised as TO
whether or not, when the time comes
that such men are again needed, they
can be had. They will have gone into
other lines OF business, it is pointed
out, and will have lost their skill as
we'll as their interest in the railroad
business.

LOAN QUOTA ST.. $50. 600
Iowa Given Apportionment in Third
Liberty Loan-Chicaeo District Alot-
ted $425, OC0, o0o-Town and cities to
Be Apportioned Rates.

Washington, March 29-Iowa's quota
in the third liberty loan is fixed at S7l,-
100000.
Subscription goals which each fed
eral reserve district will be expected
to reach or pass during the third lib
erty loan campaign opening April b
arranged today by the treasury give
the New York district 80 per cent OF
the 81. 900, 5000 loan total or $780,
000 0O0 as its share, the same as in the
second loan. The Chicago district Is
allotted Il 1-6 per cent Of $425, 900, 600,
and the Cleveland district 10 percent,
or $500 ocO 900.
In calculating the wealth and
general business conditions of various
districts, as the basis for the quotas, 1t
was found Boston had been given dis
proportionate share in the second loan,
and the districts percentage has been
reduced from l to 1S per cent. Cleve-
land, Minneapolis and San Francisco
were given the same proportions as IN
the second loan and other districts
were raised slightly.
The goals of each state county and
city will be determined by federal re-
serve district committees on the basis
of population, wealth, and business
conditions. These will be. announced
locally within a week or two.
