HAND SEVERELY

Washington, April 20.-The third
Liberty loan campaign will be half
over today, and indications are that
half of the 100000, 900 minimum
total will be subscribed. This record,
although better than the first or sec
ond loan, does not satisfy treasury Of
ficials entirely, because they actually
are aiming at a $4,000, 100000 loan
with 10000, 100000 subscribers.
The total reported tonight to head
quarters here was 1924, 714:2 5O, an
addition of $114,979,350 within the
last day, covering subscriptions re-
ceived at banks together with the in
itial five per cent payment up to the

POTATO CAMPAIGN

The foregoing is the slogan of the
Federal Food Administration for
North Dakota in announcing cam
paign for increased use of potatoes
in all sections of North Dakota where
potatoes are to be had in Large
amounts or are really available.
"The best thing we can offer the
people of some sections Of North Da-
kota to help the country save the
wheat is potatoes" says the Food Ad-
ministration.
Potatoes are an acceptable substi-
tute for bread. Ireland has been saw
ed from starvation time and again by
the potato. Americans are already
familiar with this valuable tuber and
can increase their use of the potato
with little trouble and at almost no
sacrifice of appetite, certainly no sac
rifice of nutritive value.
ut is sa idthat pound of baked
potatoes is equal in nutritive value
to seven ounces of bread. Join the
Wheat Savers League Use the per-
ishable potato as wheat and bread
substitute.
"In the present food crisis all GER
eals are precious; they will keep and
the potatoes will not. AS an emer-
gency measure, increase the use of po-
tatoes.
AT the present time potatoes are
the cheapest food to be had in some
sections Of North Dakota. This is
Especially true in the Red River VAL
ley and the entire western tier of
counties Of the state.
because Of a lack of transporta-
ton at the critical moment a large
part of the potatoes in Northern Min
nesota, raised for seed, and usually
sold in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska
and other states where seed potatoes
are difficult to raise, were not shipped
to those states this year. It is now
too late to use them for seed in these
states and here are large quantities
available in Northern Minnesota at
unusually low prices.
The Federal Food Administration
will endeavor to get transportation
for these potatoes to points in North
Dakota where they are needed. Many
sections of the state, however, are
well supplied and in those sections
county and local food administrators,
city officials, county agents, women's
clubs, hotels, stores and all available
agencies are asked to join in a great
campaign to increase the use of the
lowly spud, so that these potatoes
which are so plentiful will not be
wasted to the end that wheat may be
saved for our boys at the front anc
our associates in the war.
