Weeks Food Fact


country such things as woman
clasping half starved child in her
arms while she gazed at the body of
her husband who had been torn from
their home and shot merely to carry
out the doctrine of terribleness, there
would not be single person in that
town who could sleep OF eat until he
or she had done something actual and
definite to help. We have that condi-
tion right with us not only in Belgium
but also in the Allied countries and
our part is to give these people the
food they must have. Things have
reached a point where we are either
definitely for or against. If we are
for these people who are giving all
they have in the world to keep the
TeutOn spirit from having it's way in
the world, then we will remember
them at every meal as definitely as if
we had the privilege of sharing with
them at our own tables.
The newest fighting corps in Mime
sofa is composed of potatriots. Its
purpose is to spud the kaiser and the
ranks are now open for enlistment.
The reason for effort right now to
increase potato consumption is that
the food bins are heaped with potatoes
as the result of an appeal to people
generally last year for increased potato
production and because of congested
railroad conditions last winter that
made distribution impossible.
Potatoes are one of the best wheat
saving foods, and with the absolute
necessity for reducing our wheat con-
sumption to the minimum and of elm
mating wheat from our diets entirely
if possible until after the next harvest.
there is nothing that we can turn to
with greater safety than the potato -
and it's here at your service.
',rhe potato has done it's bit by u.s."
said \. d. Wilson, federal food admin
istratOr for Minnesota. 1T is our duty
now to do our bit by the potato. The
potato, grown through patriotism
should be eaten through patriotism.
With limited supplies of so many other
food articles. potatoes which are
plentiful should not be permitted to go
to waste ..and they will go to waste if
the great quantity Of them in this
state are not used within the next few
weeks. So eat potatoes now is one Of
the best forms of patriotism. Wheat
is needed in the front line trench over
there let potatoes serve as the home
guard over here -
Food dealers Of the state hold a
point of strategic Importance in the
work of food saving. Once the food
articles pass over their counters and
into the consumers hands, they are lost
to the possibility of saving for ship
ment across the sea.
The food administration wants the
cooperation of the food dealers be-
cause of this fact, and because this is
war time and the dealers should realize
that in. the ordinary sense they are no
longer Independent concerns, they are
or should be in the service of the gov
ernment.
'"The kind Of cooperation most de-
sired," says the state food administra
ton, 'is not the kind that Obeys rules
and regulations because compelled to
do so, but because it is all opportunity
for service to the great cause. The
kind of service that means the most
to us is the volunteer service. In max
ing the worlds food supply go around,
we do not want to be compelled to re-
sort to conscription either with food

Washington, Dec. 6.-(Special
Telegram)-What Senator Hitch
cock failed to accomplish in reliev-
ing the potash industry of Nebraska
from serious if not irreparable loss
because of political fealty to his
party's principles, two republican
members of congress from the
Prairie state effected today in OBJ
tanning the promise of Vance Nc
ICormick, chairman of the war trade
board to ksue a notice to the coun-
try that the embargo on German
potash, growing out of the war. was
still effective and would continue so
until the protnulgation of peace.
Representatives Kinkaid and
Reavis with Edward Richardson of
the T. B. Hard potash plant at
Lakeside, Neb., had an interview
with Mr.. Mccormick today.
Chairman MeCormick's action to-
day effectively blocks the propa-
ganda which the fertilizer COM
panies have been spreading that
German potash would soon be COM
ing in and will compel them to use
the Nebraska product in their ferti-
lizer output for spring delivery.

Railway Commissioner Thorn.
as Hall Tells Bee Board
Expects to Make RuI-
ing in "Day or So"

A persistent rumor last night was
that the street car company was
using the strike as an emergency to
obtain a favorable ruling from the
state railway commission on its pc
tition for a seven-cent fare, and in
the event such ruling was made
might accede to some of the de-
mands made by the striking en-
ployes.
Chairman Tom Hail. of the rail-
road commission, was called over
the long distance telephone, late at
night, and questioned in regard to
the rumor.
He said: "The Omaha traction
officials have made no plea to that
effect and we would not consider
such a proposal in the event it were
made, for it would have no merit or
bearing.
ron account of press of other
business, which has occupied the
time of the commission, no ruling
has yet been reached but we hope
to give a decision within a day or
