Quoting From Hoover.
Quoting from a statement by Her
bert Hoover, national food admins
traitor, he says:
Among the different foodstuffs,
none of them has been brought into
more prominence and Importance
than the poato. 1t has become the
bulwark of the agricultural defense
of Germany: 1t is becoming more and
more the basis of defense in every
country" ~
"The potato marketing of the Unit
ed Safes is one of our worst organ
lied industries. The percentage OF
loss between the producer and the
ultimate consumer is enormous. The
ebb end flow of production gives it
a fluctuating price from year to year
that stiles consumption On one hand,
destroys the habit of eating potatoes
and, on the other hand, produces
gluts in which the producer is
brought to total loss.'
Strong Endorsement.
DR.. H. E. Horton, government ag-
ricultural commission, says:
''In Europe, potato flour is used
regularly, and special cook books
are published for it's utilization in all
kinds of bakery goods. The immi-
grants from northern Europe, accus-
toned to the use of potato flour have
created a market for that commodity
in this country. In 1913 we import
ed 1e71O49S mounds of potato -four
and starch The war cut off the sup
ply, but the demand still exists and
there is an excellent chance to make
big money manufacturing potato flour
in this country from the potatoes now
almost a total loss"
It seems as though Bemidji was
destined to become the home of an
other thriving industry.

to advance toward Epernay and pinch

where it is fuctuating and local at
lacks are decreasing in power and in

East of Rheims, the Franco-Ameri-
cans have completely stopped the
Germans south Of the Marine. From
Chateau Thierry, eastward to the
junction with French and Americans,
they are holding like stone wall.
Thus far the Germans have failed
to attain any detectives they had
planned.
There is just the barest possibility
that instead of using reserves in an
apparently fruitless effort to take
Epernay, the Germans will attempt
another gamble and attack the Brit
ish in the Somme and Ancre where
the Boche artillery is active, but Brit
ish artillery is alert and in the mean
time the allied reserves are growing.
