Thursday Potato
Buying Day"
Consumers Urged To Purchase In
Quantities Once A Week.

Columbia, Mo-, Feb. Al. E. Mum
ford, federal food administrator for
Missouri, has designated Thursday of
each week as Potato buying day" in
this state. Consumers are urged to
buy potatoes in quantities on this
day. More potatoes. less white bread,
r . wheat can be released to our
soldiers lin France and our associates
in the war. Dean Mumford says:
"The U. S. Food Administration
has given its approval of potato
buying day" in Missouri. The supply
of potatoes this year is 9o,000,000
bushels in excess of the normal re-
quirement. The present price is one
half of the price year ago. In con-
trast to this reduction in potatoes,
the increased price of other foods
has advanced about thirty per cent.
To encourage use of potatoes the Fed
eral Food Administrator for Mo. has
fixed Thursday of each week as buy
ing day and urges consumers to buy
in quantity on this day. In case Thurs
day should be inconvenient for the
merchant, each merchant is request
ed to name day that would be
most convenient to himself and his
customers. 1t is recommended that
purchasers buy by weight"
If you raised the taters, Mr.. Farm
er, of course you are not called on
to observe potato buying day.. You
are fixed all right.

Figures collected by the Canadian
Hospital service indicate that if your
boy goes to war he has 2 chances out
of 80 of losing his life. He runs
only one chance in 500 OF losing a
limb and less of losing an eye. Nine
ty per cent of the wounded recover
The surprising conclusion is reached
that this war is less destructive OF
life than the wars of the past.
