understood by intelligent people as

met college graduate recently who
thought that Roumania had always
been a part of Russia, like Ukraine
or Siberia, Sergeant-Pilot Harold E.
Wright, Lafayette Flying corps,
writes in the Saturday Evening
Post.
While a guest at a tea-and-little-
cakes party the week 1 returned
from the front l happened to men,
ton, in speaking of war experiences,
that "the French are using great
many Spads at the front"
One woman wanted to know what
Spads were and before l could reply
her dearest chum proudly snapped
out: "Why, don't you know what
Spads are? They are those new
gas masks the men wear in the
trenches. Why don't you read the
papers?"
Of course I explained that Spad
happens to be very fast, very pow
erful airplane, which can attain and
maintain speed of better than 1876
miles an hour; whereat they mar
veled, wide eyed.
Another woman wanted to know
where no mans land was-on the

to a crowd of newspaper men in

GRAIN SHIPMENTS GET PREFER.

Acting on orders from Director Gem
eral McAdoo the Northern Pacific rail-
way has notified agents, traffic rep
resentatives and operating officials
along the system to give preference
and priority to shipments of grain
from Minnesota, North Dakota and
Montana points. This action was tax
en- to relieve the need of supplies be-
ing hurried to allied countries in Eu-
rope
The orders issued to Northern Pa
cific representatives took effect Febru-.
airy 9Th, and will be in force until res
cinded. The movement of grain over,
this road will take precedence over
every commodity except less than car
load lots of paper and paper pulp and
fuel and fuel oil. The cooperation
OF commercial clubs, shippers and far
mers to aid in prompt loading of cars
is urged in instructions sent to various
points along the line.
Box cars in the East are being hur-.
ried to grain markets along the North
ern Pacific to aid in the grain move
ment, according to message from the
director general.

SAVE The POTATO BY
MAKING USE Of n
To Eat Them as Often as Posi-
Bile Is Duty Of Every Man,
Woman and Child.

The estimated surplus Of the 1917
potato yield is about 9O,OO0,0OO BUSH
els. In patriotic response to the var
emergency appeal there was over
100000 more acres in potatoes in 1917
than In 1916.
To take care of this banner crop so
that not one bushel goes to waste
should be the patriotic duty of both
farmer and business man. To serve
them in us many different ways as pos
sible should be the wartime tactics of
every housewife. And to eat them as
often as is wholesome Is the duty of
every man. woman and child who has
volunteered in the work of the United
States food administration.
Tor by just that much will products

transported, be released to the army

The voting showeda two-thirds ma.
jority In favor Of executing the SEN
tence, whereupOn the condemned man
expressed dissatisfaction as to the &C
curacy of the voting and demanded a
formal division of the house. Thus TIRE
matter was carried to the prison court
yard, and the uyes and noes were re-
quested to line up on opposite sides Of
the gates. The result was still the
same, but when they looked around for
the secretary, who was also the con-
demned prisoner, he was nowhere to
be seen.
It was explained that he had voted
by marching out ut the gate and had
failed to return.
After some discussion the meeting
decided that the disappearance Of the
prisoner had disposed Of any necessity
of f. 'ther discussing question No. /,
and that there remained before the
meeting only question No. 2, namely,
the fate in store for the executioner.
This time the vote was unanimous
and the following resolution was
passed:
"In consequence Of the fact that the
revolutionary people on February %
to March IL gnined its freedom, not in
order to. down ci liberty; also in con-
sequence Of the .act that Executioner
