Potatoes for Patriotism.

By eating potatoes instead OF wheat
the people Of tia United States can
help win the war. We have not
enough wheat for the Allies and our
selves. We have an abundance of po-
tatoes. Wheat flour is a concentrated
food and therefore good for shipping;
potatoes are bulky and are conse-
quently not suited for limited shipping
space, nor are the Allies so short Of
potatoes as of wheat Next to cereals,
potatoes have been In this country
the mainstay of starchy foud, which
supplies energy.
The more potatoes we eat, the less
wheat we need. A medium-sized poI
tato, weighing about 312 ounces, sup
plies about as much starch as two
small slices of wheat bread one-half
inch thick. In other respects also,
the potato measures up well with
wheat bread and even has the advant-
age over 1t in supplying certain salts
which the body needs to counteract
the acidity resulting from the use Of
such foods as cereals, meat and eggs.
By exercising her ingenuity the house
wife can prepare potatoes in many
different attractive ways, thus increas-
ing their proportion in the family diet
and conserving wheat and oths sta
pies needed for shipment abroad. An
important use Of potatoes, also, is in
the mixing of breads, in which mash
ed potatoes up to fully ten per cent
may be used without detracting from
its appearance or taste; In fact, many
persons hold that potatoes properly
mixed in bread, improves both appear
ance and flavor.

Here and There

The menace from forest fires is be-
coming manifested at an unusually
early date this year, one fire last
week having burned over 1000 acres
near LaPine in Northern klamath.
The fire started Thursday, and burned
for three days. 1t is said to have
burned over a larger territory than
any fire in that district for many
years. Forest rangers were secured
from Bend, and it was finally con-
trolled on Saturday. Some buildings
were destroyed and the residents in
other places saved their homes by
fighting the flames.
AS the timber in that district is
mostly jack pine, the damage from
the burned over area is not large

SOME REASONS WHY
WHEAT MUST Be SAVED
"A Man Cannot Think, Work or Fight
When He 10 Hungry"-We Must
Feed Our Soldiers.

Teeu Our soldiers.
I'VE hava the preservation Of the
world on our hands. Every single
living human being In this republic,
from ocean to ocean, should make it
his or her special purpose to save
food"
These are the words of E. F, Cullen,
personal representative Of Herbert c.
Hoover, in a recent address.
Men will resist any power but the
power of starvation" said Mr.. Cullen.
Hunger in the final analysis, is the
only force that can weaken a nation
and demoralize an army Food is
strength, and without perpetual sup
ply of strength, the world can stand
in danger Of tottering, weakening and
falling into utter chaos. A man can
not think, work or fight if he is hun
cry.
"The allies today are practically
wholly dependent upon the United
States for food. Upon this nation
rests the responsibility OF preserving
the world from Prussianism. This is
the task of the people of this nation
to produce and save food enough to
keep steady stream of essential sup
plies moving towards the front so
long as 1t shall be necessary to wage
this war If at any time we fail in
this, we must inevitably 90 down, with
the allies, to defeat. This is no ex-
aggeration, but serious fact. It is
the purpose of the United States Food
Administration to bring the realiza-
tion of this fact home to every Ameri-
can man, woman and child, and to en-
list the individual aid of our hundred
million people in producing and saw
ing food The Food Administration
is not asking you to eat less; 1t only
urges that you substitute one nutri-
tious food for another equally nutri-
tious food, thus saving the vital sta
pies needed by our armies and the
armies and peoples or the allies. We
must, during the next three months,
save wheat especially Our surplus
has already been shipped abroad, and
hundred million bushels more are
needed. When you eat a slice of bread
less, omit the crackers with your soup,
or otherwise conserve on wheat prod
ucts, you are contributing towards the
hundred million bushels needed over
there by our fighting men and the
exhausted people of Bagiam, France
and England who have for more than
three years been bearing the brunt of
this war, which is our war Keep this
in mind, and bring it before the minds
of your thoughtless friends and neigh
bors."

Holland had its second bullion"
robbery Thursday night when some
unknown party entered the smoke
house of Jeff Winner, who resides
near that place, and stole 200 pounds
of hams and bacon, says the Grants
Pass Courier. With meat as high as
it is, Mr.. Winner says that his loss is
greater than that of r. Boswell and
son, who a week ago were held up
and robbed of $4,000 worth of gold
bullion about three miles from the
Winner home. The thieves in this
case, however, showed sense of JUS
tice by leaving Just half of the 400
pounds which we're in the house at
the time. MIR. Winner has not offered
reward of $500 for the arrest of
the criminals, but swears vengeance
if he ever gets his hands on them.

The Port Oxford wharf company is
going to repair the wharf here and
work upon it will start shortly. 1t is
planned to have it ready to handle
shipments in the very near future and
then as opportunity offers 1t will be
enlarged, says the Port Oxford Trib-
une. Most of the approach is in good
condition and some of the wharf is
still standing, but it will be remem-
bered that the outer end Of the struc-
ture was pulled down by the steamer
Bandon two years ago. The reason 1t
was not repaired ere this was because
of a pending settlement between the
steamer owners and the wharf COM
pany. This settlement has just been
made and it is understood the local
company received in the neighbor-
hood of $500 for the damage done
by the steamer.
