Tan1a Boy Receives
Scrap Book Which
Is Compiled Here

The old, old truth that, in these
times, the world is small indeed. finds
new vcrification in that scrap book
made for army hospitals found its
way into the hands of former Tama
county boy. who now is a soldier sick
in the hospital of Camp Shelby. near
Hattiesburg, Miss. An interesting letter
has came to Mrs. Joseph Whitacre,
thanking her and her daughter, Doris,
the latter aged Q, for two scrap books
which they made, and which especially
attracted the attention of the soldier.
He is Albert E. Harden, Battery A.,
Fourth Field artillery. who enlisted at
the familN's present home in Crooks
ton. Mimi. but who was born and
reared in Columbia township, Tama
county, and lived four miles south Of
Tama.
The soldier wrote from the base
hospital: Yesterday we received at
the hospital number of copies of diff
ferent magazines and books. Among
them were many scrap books. and l
was attracted by two which were
compiled by YOU and your daughter.
l wish to thank YOU for your bother
and for your appreciation shown us
soldier boys who are so far from home
and old friends. / especially wish to
commend your daughter for her work,
as l believe it to be very fine for a
little girl of her age.
Y was especially attracted by the
address given on the, scrap books. as
l was born and reared within twenty
miles Of Mr~shalltown, and my folks
relatives still live there. My BIRTH
place was in Columbia township,
Tama. county, and l lived about four
miles south of Tama. We have. how
ever. lived in Crookston for over six
years, and have grown to know that
place as home, but we will always re-
member the people of central Iowa as
people Of excellent merits and those
who can be depended upon for loyal
support to our government and every
move it makes"
The soldier wrote that he. was con-
valescent from an attack of sickness
and expected soon to be on regular
duty again. In closing he adds this
praise for war relief work. Il wish to
say that there is a single thousht
among the men in uniform and that is
the highest respect and thanks for the
Red Cross and Y. NJ. C. A. for the
work they are doing for the men in
the training camps and hospitals"

known. 10 nave been received here re-
garding the scrap books made for SOL

Eat Potatoes;
They Will Spoil,
and Sdve Wheat

Five hundred ninety-two families
saved 5,025 cups. or fifty-two sacks of
flour: twenty-five families used no
wheat at all, ten used an excess Of
FIVE and three-quarters sacks. 376 said
they were saving, but gave no definite
amounts: and five refused to save
wheat at all. This is the summary Of
the effort to save wheat by the use Of
potatoes, from April to 10, as made
to Mrs. Mary Gregg, home demonstra-
ton agent.
AS there are approximately 5000
families in this county, only ne-sixth
Of the number sent in reports.
Mrs. Gregg suggests even tho
the potato drive" is over that we can
not afford to reduce onr consumption
of potatoes. We still have millions Of
bushels of potatoes, and they won't be
good two months from now: SO to con-
serve both wheat and potatoes, eat
potatoes now.
No able bodied true American will
object to potatoes as substitute at
the noon or evening meal. Let us do
this cheerfully for the time is not far
distant when we must sacrifice, wheth-
er we will or no.
a few recipes for potato substitutes:
Pittsburgh Potatoes One quart
cooked potatoes cut in cubes, one-haif
pound cheese. one onion. cut UP fine,
two cups white sauce. thickened with
barley or rice -four. one teaspoon SAT-.
Place layer Of potatoes and onion in
baking dish. Make white sauce. and
while hot stir in the grated cheese.
Pour over the potatoes. Place in mod
crate oven for twenty to twenty five
minutes.
Potato Fish Loaf-One pint mashed
potato. one cup cooked fish, two tea
spoons salt, two eggs, one-half cup
milk, two tablespoons fat, salt and
pepper. Beat the entire mixture to-
| gether and place in IA creased pan.
Place in pan of hot water and bake in
moderate oven until frm.- This is inn
! proved by serving With tomato sauce.

SUFFICIENT SUGAR FOR CAN.
MING PURPOSES.
BUY WHAT is NEEDED AND
RETURN WHAT is UNUSED
Determines Not to Re-
strict Needs During Canning Season,
But Will Continue to Maintain Pres.
ent Limit Of Five and Ten Pounds
For General Purposes.

Iowa housewives will be able to get
all the sugar they actually need for
canning and preserving purposes.
They will be asked to sign a certifi-
cate as to the amount they require,

to return whatever part Of the supply
they do not use for canning and pre-
serving.
Such was the information contained

bot from State Administrator J. F..
Deems. at Burlington. The state ad-
ministrator has boon authorized by
the federal food administration at
Washington to issue blank certificates
to retail grocers, who will require the
signatures of purchasers.
The administration will maintain
the present limit on sugar purchases
for general purposes, five pounds for
consumers in the cities, and ten
pounds, for consumers in the country,
but the certificates will enable those
desiring additional sugar for canning
ana preserving to secure it upon
agreement that they Will return such
parts of purchases so made as are not
used for the purposes for which they
bought IL
Washington has advised admins
traitor Deems that we must have
strict economy, and if necessary even
slight shortages now rather than have
any shortage whatsoever when the
canning season is at hand" Retail
dealers therefore are instructed to
maintain the prescribed limits of sales
o. sugar to the five and ten pound
limits except when the certificates are
signed for the use Of sugar for can
ming exclusively.
