EAT MORE POTATOES
Increased Use Will Bring About
Saving Of Grain.
Agricultural Department Suggests Tu-
bers Be Given More Prominent
Place In Luncheons.

: Washington.-The eating Of moro
potatoes for supper. or for luncheon.
II the family is accustomed to have din
ner at night, is suggestion Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture, In order that the tremendous crop
Of tubers produced in the United
States this year may be utilized as
fully as possible and spoilage avoided.
Such Increased use should, at the same
time, bring about saving of grain,
since one common result Of eating
more potatoes is the eating Of less
wheat bread, which IL q reasonable
suggestion when one remembers that
both Of them are used as q source OF
starch In the diet. This reduction In
grain consumption Is desirable, the de-
partment points out, and there Is great
need of grain for shipment to our sol
diers and to the soldiers and civilians
of other countries enSaged With rs In
the war against Germany
The use Of more potatoes for lunch
con should be simple matter, In the
opinion Of specialists Of the depart
ment Of agriculture, since practically
all Americans like potatoes and since
there are numerous ways In which the
tubers may be prepared to avoid a
sameness In the diet. Potatoes, even
in their simplest forms-baked and
boiled-make good luncheon dishes.
They may also be used for making
variety Of dishes, such as creamed
and escaIloped potatoes, with or with
out cheese; stuffed potatoes, potato
croquettes. and so on. Combination
dishes, such as hash. stews, meat pies
with potato crust, and so on, In which
considerable amount Of potato IL
used with other foods, may constitute
practically an entire luncheon, being
hearty enough to serve for the purpose
with little salad or fruit or sweets.

HOPE TO GET NITRATE =

Mr.. W. K. Bethune, chairman of
committee that is. handling Govern

assured in long-distance phone con-

has charge of the shipments received
at Wilmington that the 588 tons al
lotted to Robson from shipment re-
centlyreceived at Wilmington would
be shipped today and tomorrow if
the necessary labor to handle it could
be obtained in Wilmington. It is al
together question of labor now. The
shipment from which this allotment
was made was received some days ago
and since that time two more ship
loads have reached Wilmington How
much Robson will receive from these
additional shipments has not yet been
determined.
This 588 tons is approximately Is
per cent of the amount ordered by
Robson county farmers. Mr.. Be

ROAD TO FRANCE; WILL BE
KEPT OPEN. -
U-Boats Will Not Stop Steady Stream
of Men and Supplies to Europe.

American naval forces in European
waters are not being weakened in con-
sequence of the operations of Ger
man submarines off the American
coast and the ocean highway for the
movement of troops to Europe will be
kept open, Secretary Daniels says in
a cablegram published Sunday by the
London Times. The message follows
II. the activities of German subma-
rines off the American coast have not
in any way changed the policy of this
government. The road to France will
be kept open for the transportation Of
our troops and the delivery of NUM-
tions and food supplies for our forces
and those of our allies. There is be-
irg no weakening of our naval. forces
IN European waters as result of
the new activity necessitated on our
own coast.
"The country has remained calm
in the face Of Gernlany's attempt to
bring frightfulness to our doors, In
fact, this enemy effort has stimulated
recruiting and strengthened the deter
mination of our people to use every
resource to defeat the enemy"

CREEK ROAD TO BE BRIDGED
Mrs. Edmund Has Agreed For $1,000
To Let Mill Go-Bridge Will
Be Built Soon.

Mr.. ]. I. Townsend, member Of
the county road board, advises The

with Mrs. L. A. Edmund to let the
Edmund mill go down and the road
will be bridged where the dam broke
some months ago. The mill is on the
Creek road, which is a part Of the
Wilmington-C Charlotte highway. Mrs.
Edmund agreed to let the mill go for
$1,000 and tie road board will pay
$3.50 Of this amount ard the citizens
living about the pond agreed to pay
$3.50 Of the $1,000. It is estimated
that it would cost around $1,000 to
fill in the dam where it broke. 1t
will cost much less to build bridge
and then there will be no more dan
ger of the dam breaking.
The bridge will be built before the

ANOTHER SHIP SUNK.
German Submarine Sunk American
Ssesner.s7 Miles On. Maryland
Coast Saturday.

The American steamer Pinar del
Rio was sunk by a German submarine
70 miles off the coast of Maryland
Saturday morning. One Of her boats
wit, the captain and II members of
the crew were reported by Wash
ington dispatch last night as missing
another with 16 men has landed on the
Virginia coast.
A brief dispatch to the Navy De-
partment last night announcing the
sinking did not say whether the ship
was shelled CIR torpedoed. Hope is
held that the missing boat either has
been picked up by passing vessel or
will turn up at some point along tie
coast.
Until last night the raiders had Lot
been reported as showing themselves
since the Norwegian steamer Vinland
was sunk off the Virginia capes las'
Wednesday evening.
All sinkings reported to the Navy
Department since the submarines left
the New Jersey coast district last
Sunday have occurred off the coasts
of Maryland and Virginia with sew
eral of them due east OF Cape Henry
This indicates that the U-boats are
operating over a very limited area
probably of not more than few hun
dred square miles, but in a very I'M
portant shipping lane.
Since it became known that the sub
marines were in this area naval ane
air forces have concentrated their ef
forts there. The task of bagging thu
sea wolves even in so limited an ares
is not an easy one as the vessels cal
submerge and lie on the bottom unit
