PATRIOTIC DUTY
TO USE POTATOES
Tubers Plentiful and Should
Not Be Allowed to Go
TO Waste.

To eat potatoes is the best kind Of
local, home grown patriotism, says the
U. S. Food Administration. The rea-
son for the potato campaign in Wash
ington is that the food bins are heaped
with POTATOES as the answer of the
farmer to last years appeal for bump
er war crops.
1.-THE potato, grown through patriot
ism, should be eaten through patriot
ism," says Charles Hebberd. federal
food administrator for Washington.
with so many other things scarce,
potatoes, which are plentiful, should
not go to waste. And they will go
10 waste IL they are not eaten in the
next few weeks.
"The potato proved it was a true
American last year when the crops
we're called to the front for war serv-
ice. 1t enlisted in the front ranks Of
the food forces, with the result that
we have such q potato crop as was
never known In this country. Europe
does not need to share our potatoes.
They are too bulky to ship at this
time when ships must be saved for
troops and for the most essential and
concentrated foods. Therefore, the
best form of patriotism is to eat our
bumper crop and make it help save
wheat"

SHIP LOSSES ARE LESS.

Official French statistics on the
submarine warfare received in a dis
patch from France are the total loss
es of the allied and neutral ships, in
Guiding accidents at sea, were APP
proximately one half as great during
April, this year, as in April, 1917
In April last year 634,6S5 gross
tons were lost, while this April's fl
cures are 381 ,631.
Submarine attacks now are more
costly to the enemy, the dispatch
points out, owing to the fact that
the attacks are chiefly made with
torpedoes instead of gunfire, as was
the case before merchant ships were
adequately and efficiently armed.
Attention is also called to the fact
THAT each time the Germans have
made an offensive on land they have
made a corresponding effort with
their submarines.
Thus during the second half of
March the numbers and activities of
submarines increased. The first half
of April marked very distinct les
SEEMING, attributed to the counter Of
forts of the allies.

FOODS TASTE BETTER COOKED
TOBACCO TASTES BETTER
TOASTED

Since the day of the cav man, who
liked his meat raw, civilization has
learned lot about the scientific treat
ment of the things we eat.
Naturally none of US would now
prefer to have our meat raw, our POI
tatoes as they come from the ground
our coffee unroasted.
And naturally follows the great dis
covery recently made by The Ameri'
can Tobacco Co.-that tobacco tastes
better TOASTED
This wonderful new idea-siH.
like all great inventions-was 10
used in producing the famous LUCh
STRIKE Cigarette-made OF toasted
Burley tobacco.
Burley has mellow favor, entirely
different from the tobacco usually
used for cigarettes. 1t is pipe to-

Farewell.

areWeil.
At last our school term is over and
the final number of Breezes wishes
to bid farewell to those who may have
read its enthusiastic efforts to
portray a little of the school spirit
as left by the student body this year.
Yes, the Breezes have blown for
the last time, the cares and response
bilities of the editors have come to
an end. but it remains for the latter
to acknowledge with appreciation
their debt to all those who have aid
ed in publishing the school paper.
Many of the readers of the Breezes
have been kind enough to say that
they have enjoyed every issue this
year, but they also perhaps realize
that the editorial staff has had
very busy year with school work
and our little bit of war work. How
ever, we have attempted to do our
best. We hope that the Breezes of
next year will be able to blow with
even greater vim and steadiness than
they have this year. The manage
ment also takes this opportunity of
publicly thanking the members of
the faculty and the students for their
aid in furnishing material for the
so-called funny collum," however
unconsciously they may have per-
formed their services.
Now that it is all over Ito speak

paper editor) we will make our last
attempt to be friends with the print

ear of the office cat! kick the waste
paper basket into the corner; put
the key into the right hand drawer;
and then the coming members of the
editorial staff will be all ready to be-
gin with renewed energy next year.
With all confidence and conceit,
we predict that the work we leave
behind will grow and prosper, there
being two reasons on which we base
thtis prophecy. One of them is our
confidence in the future support of
the faculty, and the other in the
supporting spirit of the school. In
taking our leave we cordially wish
to one and all future happiness and
prosperity.

Junior-Senior Picnic.

By common consent it was decided
to dispense this year with the GUS
tomary banquet, and turn the big
event of the year into picnic. Satur-
day was a beautiful day and early
in the morning some 6 or 7 autoloads
might have been seen leaving the
schoolhouse, filled with jolly students
and teachers as we'll as countless
boxes and baskets laden with all
sorts of eats, not to mention 5 gallons
of ice cream Wenatchee Lake was
reached without incident. After ar
irving there groups left for different
parts of the lake to spend the morn
ing as they pleased, in fishing, walk
ing and rowing. But somehow
everyone returned to the head of the
lake at the dinner hour, where all
the good things were spread for the
hungry ones. The way everybody
helped themselves to salad, sand
witches, cookies, and so forth would
have caused Hoover to have thrown
up his hands in dismay had he been
there.
In the afternoon a party rowed
across the lake and made the climb
to Hidden Lake. The rest of the
crowd which numbered about 35
teachers and students amused them
selves in various ways till the eve
ming hour warned them that it was
time to go home which they did after
partaking of such of the feast as re-
manned, with the exception of some
of the ice cream of which the sophie
mores were kind enough to relieve
the upper classmen.

The Sophomore Picnic.


Last Saturday, much against the
wishes of some of the juniors the
sophomores spent the day at Lake
Wenatchee. At an early hour car
loads of Sophs could be seen leaving
town with colors flying.
The day was spent in rowing on the
lake in rowboats which the Juniors
very thotfully provided. After a
swell feed at 1 o'clock the Sophs did
not feel like rowing so they piled into
cars and motored up White river.
After that they made a trip to the
clubhouse. On their return to camp
they were ready to eat again, and so
with the help of the Juniors ice
cream which was thotlessly left I'M
guarded, they got rid of the remain
der of their lunch. Then with an
other row on the lake to top off a
glorious day they left for home a
very joyous but tired bunch.

Famous throughout the land"
This is the appreciation of Mrs.
Amanda L. Brown, expert in redemp-
ton of mutiiated money. paid by
John Burke, treasurer Of the United
States. Mrs. Brown died last Tuesday,
after forty-three years of exceptional
services to the government, aged
/ eighty-one years.
she served with great fidelity and
rare skill and Judgment says
Treasurer Burke, in notifying the
Secretary of the Treasury of Mrs.
Browns demise.
she was 4 great expert in the re-
demption of badly mutilated cur
rency and was famous throughout the
land. Her death is a distinct loss not
only on account of her invaluable
services. but by virtue OF the splendid
qualities that constitute true " oman

Received Only $500.
Mrs. Brown received only $1,000 Il
year, despite her expert knowledge.
She was recommended to office by
President Grant by Or. @. II. Tiffany
of the great jewelry house of Tiffany
and Company of New York and by
Maj. Gen. McDougal of civil war
fame.
She carried into her work ill re-
demption of badly mutilated currency
not only a sense of duty to her serv-
ice and the government, but also an
humanitarian sense of the hardship
entailed upon those who stood liable
TO loss from mishap to their earnings,
savings and securities.
AS an expert in the identification of
charred remains of currency she was
a benefactresS of many poor persons
everywhere in the United States who
had the misfortune to lose their prop
erty through fire. Their hearts were
often unexpectedly gladdened by re-
ceipt of brand-new money in return
for the fragments, almost unrecoG-
niZable they had recovered from
ashes that represented entire world
Iy possessions in ri;.Gy cases. This
was especially true of the victims of
the fire and earthquake in San Fran
