SAVE THE POTATOES
SAYS FOOD ADMT'N

Orono. Me, April 26.-There are
two great reasons for the Potato
Week campaign in this State. Anril
y to May d. according to announce
ment made today by the Food Ad-
ministration.
~ Growers in 1917 produced a
great crop which in large part is un-
marketed on the coming of sprinp
IL TINS crop is not consumed rapidIv
and in larger proportion TO o,ber
ioods than is customary, millions of
bushels Of potatoes will rot unsold
before the next harvest. Such a
calamity could not fail to DISCOURAGE
potato growers who a year ago re-
sponded TO the appeal of the country
to be patriotic and increase food
production.
CD BY eating plenty Of potatoes
the people Of Maine can lower ma
terlally their consumption of vheat
products and thus comply with the
urgent request Of the Food Admins
tration to aid in reducing the national
consumption of wheat products to 5o
per cent.
Eat more potatoes" is the slogan
or Potato Week in this State and
during the week commencing Sun
Gay, April 2S, determined effort will
be made to secure increased con.
sumption OF potatoes in every mart
or Maine and in every other state in
the country. The cooperation Of all
agencies Of the potato trade, State
and local authorities, various organ
izauons and the press. has been en-
listed During the week and the
months to follow the great potato
crop OF America will be moved from
producing centers to points Of con-
sumption as rapidly as the nuh,;c
WIZ consume the delectable "spuda".

INSANE MAN
ASSAULTS
AGED COUPLE

Fairfield Center, Me, April 26-A man
said by officers to be violently insane
broke into a house at Fairfield Center
occupied by an aged and in1rm couple.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Gullifer. at 4 O'Clock
Friday morning and attacked and final
ly drove them out of doors. Mr.. Gulli-
fer is unable to walk without a crutc,l
and cane and the intruder seized the
heavy crutch and struck him over the
head, knocking him down and cutting a
cash in his forehead. He also knocked
Mrs. Gullifer down in the house and
escaped to the nearest neighbor's. Help
was summoned and the man met the
men at the door with chair, knocking
one of them down. 1t was necessary to
use violence to overcome him. Three
heavy blows on the head with a shovel
flnally subdued him and he was secure
ly bound and carried by auto to Fairfield
and placed in custody. He was appar-
emily about 60 years of age and gave
ms name as Lancaster, saying that his
father lives in Nassalboro.
Mrs. Gullifer, who is 50 years Of AGE.
has for years been the operator OF the
central office of the Farmers Telephone
and the intruder while in possession of
the house tore down the telephone kew
board, demolishing it and putting tho
line out of commission.
1t Is considered very fortunate that
the aged couple escaped with no mora
serious injury, but it was hard exna.
rience Tor them Neither of them has
walked to the neighbor's before for
many months.

up a bit; step beginning to lag and lose
its springiness; occasional touches of
pain in the back, feel tired without

In most cases these are the danger
signals to warn you that the kidneys
are not promptly doing their work of
throwing off the poisons that are al

The Revenue End

The loss of revenue" argument is
answered by Mr.. Ballinger in this
way:
The national revenue from beer is
ninety-one million dollars per year
and Tor all liquors was two hundred
eighty-four million last year.
1t is a poor revenue collector who
charges seven dollars to collect one.
but this is the way Uncle Sam farms
it out.
The local license tax paid to state
and county is no. sufficient to pay the
excess public cost of the almshouses.
asylums, hospitals. jails, courts, po-
lice. ETC.. made necessary by the
drink traffic.
One-half Of the almshouses, insane
asylums, orphan asylums, hospitals
and jails. also police courts, would be
closed because unnecessary in a few
years after the enactment OF national
prohibition.
Many Of them have already been
closed In dry states while in wet
states new ones are being erected.
Mr.. Ballinger touches, with ire
futable facts to hold his position, the
question of life and health. Of pa
triotism and good government, and
quotes governors Of many states,
points out the inevitable result of the
failure to adopt prohibition, shows
the remedy for present Ills and closes
with How to Get It."
Write your congressman to vote
for a law which will Immediately
stop the brewing Of beer and use the
foodstufts thus saved to feed the
starving millions.
Vote at primary for congressman

The Part Business Men Take.

At a recent conference of Kenne-
bee Journal editors it was remarked
that one Of the finest things revealed
by the demands OF, war conditions
was the patriotic response OF Ameri-
can business men, from big busi-
ness" down to the small retailer The
number of remarkable instances,
coming to light day after day, has
reached a surprising list. Into every
avenue of war work and support the
business man has entered with
trained and practical mind to help in
the movement for a safe and sane
world, for a cleaning up of the rub
bish that blocks the highway to
progress and moral stability.
At hand as a striking example, is
an outline of the plan of Philadel-
phia firm Of architects, Walter F.
Ballinger. who shows the way to
great relief for the nation in food, in
fuel, in transportation, in labor ef-
fciency, in increased power, in
reduced cost of construction. in has
tened winning Of the war. His plan
is not only practicable but its feasi-
bility cannot be denied. He points
first to:

6S Million Bushels

Sixty-eight million bushels at an
average Of As pounds per bushel
equals over three billion pounds
which would be sufficient for as many
one-pound loaves of bread annually
or divided by three hundred sixty
five days $1,000, 100000 pounds divided
by 3s5 days equals s,219.0oO loaves)
equals over eight million loaves of
bread per day. probably enough
bread for the armies at the front Of
the United States. France and Eng
land with considerable over, but not
enough for the starving people of
Belgium. Armenia and Syria.
IT drink were abolished, labor con-
ditions on farms as well as with farm
machinery, fertilizers and transporta-
tion, would be SO improved as to in
crease production at least five per
cent. This would add thirtyfo four
million bushels OF wheat or two hun
dred thirty-two million bushels of all
kinds Of grain.
