SURPLUS OF POTATOES.
Food Administration May Ask People
to Eat Them Thrice Daily.

Surplus supplies of potatoes in such
quantities as to cause genuine alarm
among Food Administration officials
exist throughout the country accord
ing to statements made here. An ap-
peal to the American people to eat
"spuds" three times q day is in con-
temptation by food officials, and may
be announced later this week as a
means OF preventing heavy waste.
Under the impetus of the grow 4
garden nj ovement last spring, the
greatest potato crop in the history Of
the country was produced. Consump-
ton of potatoes during the fall and
winter was much less than in other
years, resulting in large quantities
remaining in warehouses.

DON'T CHANGE DELEGATION.

In an editorial in which it asks why
should there be demand for change
in the Virginia congressional represen-
tation, the Times Dispatch, of Rich
mond says:
For the sake of state as we'll as ma
tional security. and one without the
other is impossible, it will he we'll If
Virginia puts the soft pedal on any
proposed congressional campaigns
within its borders this fall. Some one
viii, homely philosophy has said that
it is not wise to change horses while
crossing a stream. That ancient illus
tratiou applies as well to politics as
10 ali other human affairs. and it Is
particularly applicable now while the
country is engaged in the mlghtleS2
war Of all ages and the very existence
of its free institutions is threatened by
g dominant foreign foe. In some
states conditions similar to those IN
Virginia may not exist. If they do
not and changes N congressional del
egations are believed necessary to the
public welfare they should be made.
IIe"e no change is needed.
Commanding position in the nation
al House of Representative has been
achieved by Virginia largely through
the policy of sending competent men
70 Washington and keeping them
there until, through that ability which
can be gained only by experience. they
become able to assume leadership i"
nation as well as party. Result of that
wise political policy is reflected in Vir-
sinia's present delegation. It's mem
hers occupy the choicest and most i'm
po-tant committee positions. they have
been tried and found not wanting in
the country's gravest crises. and now
when they speak they compel the na-
lions attention. They are now and have
been since the outbreak of war fore

change in any of the Virginia dis
tricts? So far as public sentiment
can be gagged there is no such de-
mand. Voters in the various districts
apparently are well satisfied with the
able manner in which tn
are being represented, and they are
gratified that their representatives
have been carrying their full share OF
the burdens now upon Congress. Z II
is believed that a vast majority o
them will frown upon any attempt to
stir up political turmoil now while
undivided attention of the people
should be centered upon war activi-
ties. This is no time for any person
to seek qualification of personal po-
litical ambitions, and any one so per-
severing undoubtedly will be defeated
at the hands of the electorate.

SHOULD ORGANIZE TO
PROTECT GRAIN FIELDS

The most effective means OF sub
DUNG grain field fire is through
cooperative organization between
the farmers and the citizens of the
nearest town. Organize community
fire zones embracing agricultural
areas within a radius of ten miles
Of the nearest town or settlement.
Once organized by a mass meeting
OF citizens and farmers, the rest is
easy.
Establish a code Of signals and
alarms. Enlist volunteer automo-
biles in the service Assemble fire
fighting equipment, such as water
tight barrels, old sacks, quilts, etc,
ot some convenient location. When
the alarm is sounded equipment and
volunteer fighters can be loaded into
the autos and hastily transported to
the scene Of the fire. Every farmer
should have barrels, buckets, sacks,
blankets, etc, always on hand; plow
always ready with doubletrees, clev-

cautionary measure against fires, as
well as an effective means of con-
trolling the same, he should plow

scr men who have Joined the colors
Some of them, VINO, having shown
extraordinary capacity, having earn
cd completeness and retired, have Ia
ken up new jobs and new RESPONSE
bilities at the suggestion of their
government If these men are not
TO break down under the strain they
must give some time each day to
keeping fit.
There must be about 5000, 900 wo.
men who would be benefited like
wise by setting apart some part OF
each day for work to keep fit.
Recognizing the need as well as
the advantage, the senior service
corps is being organized. About the
only requirement is that the appli-
cant shall be a male, over 40 years
of age, able TO stand the amount of
work given as shown by physical
examination and willing to devote
three hours week to training. AS
will be seen later, the work is not
hard and person with a moderately
good heart, fair arteries and a blood
pressure not too high can pass, proyi-
dp1 hn 10 l.,
Ten minutes day is spent in set
ting up exercises and this is followed
by a fifteen minute hike. Some of
the instructions for the hike are:
Walk ordinary pace adapted to the
slowest man, the first day mile on
level. On the first day let every
ore walk as natural as possible. In
crease this the second day to a mile
and a quarter, and moderate pace,
on q level. Third day, increase to n
mile and q half, and for the last
quarter mile have the squad assume
more erect positions, head up, chin
in, chest out. Fourth day, if posi-
tle, pick out a moderate rise, not
real hill climb. Fifth day, two miles
moderate pace; a moderate rise and
walking the last quarter mile in
erect position, head up, chin, in,
u
chest out. Sixth day, same distance,
but increase pace a very little, not
enough to cause struggling. Seventh
day, same distance; again increasing
the pace slightly; follow o route that
necassitatcs moderate climbing.
During the second week the length |
IF the walk need not be increased,
ut there ahculd be more hill work
and the men should be required to
hold themselves straighter as they
walk. During this week the men car
~ one inch iron rods cut in three
loot lengths and weighing about s
pounds. Half the men carry these
bars the first half of the distance,
hen transfer them to the other men,
ncrs, who carry them the remainder
If the distance. For part of the dis
-ance the bars are carried in the
lsnd. During the Other part they
carry them by placing the bars
across the back with the elbows be-
lind them. When the bars are car
led in the latter position the shoul-
lers are thrown back and the chest
S thrown out.
During the subsequent weeks, the
jpeed may be increased somewhat
md the amount of hill climbing in
-reased. After the third week, drill
ing-that IS, maTching-can be en-
