EAT PLENTY POTATOES.

The government urgently requests
all people to make potatoes princi-
pie article of diet. Three times day
is not too many and they should be
eaten abundantly. The reason is:
Potatoes are many and unless con-
sumed will spoil By eating potatoes
Ca nourishing and delicious food less
meat and cereals will be used. The
nation is short on cereals and long
on potatoes. Unless the latter are
eaten soon they will spoil anyhow.
We are short on wheat and wheat will
keep indefinitely. Fill up on potatoes
cut down on other things. Be pat
riotic.

the patriotism of the American

difference to the man who can buy
a bond, If you are able to buy n
Liberty Bond, do it now. Show
your faith in the American govern.
ment and prove your interest in
winning the war.
Don't let the sun 90 down to.

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS
Here Is A New Ruling That Affects
All Wheat Growers.

Hamp Williams federal food ad-
ministrator for Arkansas, in re.
sponse to numerous inquiries rel
ative to wheat held by farmers, has
made the following special ruling;
Farmers who grow wheat will be
permitted to retain enough and
have 1t ground into flour to last
them until the next harvest.
They will also be permitted to
retain enough for their own seed
purposes
In the event, after retaining
enoueh for personal consumption
and teel purposes, provided the
surplus is not too great, they will
be permitted to sell their wheat to
farmers who have not wheat for
seed purposes, They must first sat
isly their County Food Administra'
tor that such sales are for seed pur >
poses. I'VE prefer that surplus
wheat be kept In the community In
which II was grown and that every
loducement be made to Oct larger
wheat crops, In every instance,
however farmers with wheat should
set In touch with their County
Food Administrators, who will ae-
si,t them In every way possible,
Farmers who take wheat to the
mill for flour for their own con.
sumption should, not at any time
take home from the mill more than
a thirty days oupply Of -four. The
mill will have a record Of the wheat
eround and the -four the farmer ia
entitled to, but he should limit hie
amount Of flour from the wheat he
Grew to thirty daye supply, and at
the end Of the month Get another
