USE POTATOES

The American woman should
use potatoes and the -four substi-
tutes and let the French have the
wheat.
There we're 50,OOO,OOO bushels
of Irish potatoes in the United
States on April /. They are too
bulky to ship. They would sprout
and be spoiled for food before they
could reach a European port. Let
good Americans eat potatoes and
release wheat for the allies.
Wheat is the only known foun-
dation for the bakery loaf. No
body bakes the domestic bread in
Europe. Every village and town
has its bakery, which economies
time and fuel. Two or three bak-
ers with one oven can make 2,00C
loves of bread daily with a mini
lmum amount OF coal. Coal il
France is $1l0 and $l35 a ton.
They have a good supply of Goa
for this year. Bread has always
been half the food supply of the
French when they had plenty Of
sugar and dairy products, both Of
which are very scarce; hence the
added Importance Of bread. The
French have been using war bread
the past four years. They have
the other products for their bread.
Their need is wheat for the foun-
dation of their loaf.
One other phase of this question
also is important. So many of the
French women are working six
teen hours day either in the fields
or munition factories, some of
them taking care of manned SOL
diers or tubercular persons. And
they should not be asked to assume
the additional task of one or two
hours a day to cook rice or corn
bread.
The cry of the allies is Give
US bread" The $4,000, 900 women
in American, who are members of
the Food Administration, are SOL
diers of the commissary and must
be ready to change kitchen tactics
as food conditions change.

FRIDAY. NAY 10, 1918
THE TEST


There has been all along since
the war began much opposition in
this country to the war and to the
method pursued by the admins
tration 10 the conduct of the war.
This opposition sprang from two
or three sources. Germany had
real sympathizers in this country,
who did everything to discourage
the war and dishearten the people.
TIE German propaganda was
very steaihilly, but very success
fully conducted.
There was also a class Of politi-
clans and would-be political lead
ers who was afraid the party in
power would receive too much
honor if some hurtful charges were
not brought against the admins
tration. There has been much
criticism of the president and his
cabinet. We have people in this
county who could have done the
job much better. and they take
great delight in finding fault.
This spirit extended to the con-
gress of the United States.
A few days ago President Will
son put the blunt question to the
American people, will you CO.
operate or will you Obstruct9"
The president and his cabinet
are responsible for the conduct of
the war, and it is up to the people
to cooperate or obstruct. They
have doubtless made mistakes, who
whould not have made them, but
they, no doubt, have done as we'll
as could have been done under the
circumstances. 1t was a big task
they undertook, and they had to
overcome distractions that were
constantly being placed in their
way.
Whatever our preconcelYed IDEAS
may have been the time has come
when we must cooperate or be
placed as obstructionists. The
president has made this clear. And
it should be that way. We have
a job that is going to require the
entire man power of this country.
To refuse to help is to obstruct.
The passage of the sedition bill
by the senate last week by a vote
of AZ to 81 was fair test of that
body. While the majority is
largely with the president. yet the
obstructionists are there and they
can do hurt, just as obstructionists
can do elsewhere, and it is we'll to
know. them and be able to meet the
opposition.
Stand by those in authority and
by your help, sympathy and en-
couragement help win the war.
After victory comes there will be
plenty of time for politics and
criticism.

1t is very gratifying to see that
the American soldiers are acquit-
ting themselves with SO much
credit on~the battle front. This,
however, is no more than we ex-

honors will come to our soldier
boys.

DOES ADVERTISING PAy1

A recent report made by promi-
nent mercantile agency showed that
eighty-five per cent Of business fail
ures throughout the country are
among non advertisers.
What a percentage! There are the
cold, hard figures in black and white.
They are not compiled for the selling
talk Of some advertising agency, but
they should prove an edification to
hundreds of sleeping business men
who will insist that advertising does
not pay"
Advertising has developed into
such a tremendous power in all
branches of commercial life that the
very word may well be called syn
onmy of success.
Many men who are now spending
millions of dollars every year in add
vertising, started their career in the
back room of a low-rent factory
building. However, they we're
staunch believers in advertising, their
faith in national publicity never
wavered, and their success now veri-
fies the truth of their convictions.
Notwithstanding the obvious power
of advertising, there are still those
who believe their is a certain mys-
terious adroitness about it, only
known by a selected few-a secret
something that is beyond their COM
prehension. Such an idea is without
foundation. Advertising is merely
a business force that anyone may
apply by closely surveying the public
wants and then convincing the buyer
that you have the goods he needs.
Before advertising became the
greatest selling force in use, all sales
were made by personal solicitation.
But how many customers can a
salesman visit on an expenditure of
ten dollars? About ten, to say the
most. How many prospective buyers
can you reach with ten dollars worth
of postage stamps9 After deduct
ing fair cost for the printing of
your sales literature, we will say
about seven hundred. Which system
should bring the greater returnsY
We will place our money on the "ad-
vertising," and we will win ten times
out of ten.
No, men would not pay $4,000 for
a one-page ad, one time in one per-
iodical, if advertising didn't pay.
neither would they pay $4,000 in one
day for postage stapms. Neither
would they insist upon the best
grade of paper for their catalogs,
folders and letterheads-if resultant
orders did not justify it. They have
already proven the efficacy of this
so-called "extravagance," and found
it to be the most profitable invest
ment at their command.

HOW TO SAVE ON TWO
POUNDS OF SUGAR A MONTH

TIE following are seven ways for
daily sugar saving.
1. Use fresh fruits without
sugar.
2. Cook dried fruits without ad-
ditional sugar; they already contain
sugar.
3. Can more fruit without sugar !;
put up fewer jams and jelhes.
4. Use less sugar in tea and
coffee; you will soon learn to like
it better.
