New England Uses Substitutes
Extensively

A milling concern of Brattleboro,
VT, writing to the Northwestern
Miller states: 1--WE are surprised
how early New England has adapted
itself to coarse-grain products, prac-
tically eliminating wheat products.
Of course, if this continues for two
or three years, demand for wheat
flour will be much less and mills in
order to I'll full time must keep
their coarse.grain product ma
Chimes"
In addition, this firm stated that
bakers are increasing the amount of
substitutes, realizing the difficulty
in obtaining wheat -four, and at the
same time the urgent necessity that
this product be shipped abroad. This
firms stock of wheat -four in ware
houses in past years has varied from
5000 to $1,000 barrels on hand;
since the first of January their stock
had not exceeded. 300 barrels at any
one time and the majority of the
time has been much less.

How Potato Flour is Made

The pioneer marketer of the old
Oregon trail, Ezra Meeker, is not
satisfied with the laurels he obtained
in the earlier days and he is now
again serving his country by pioneer
Ing in the manufacture of potato
flour.
Potato flour is not a new product
to Mr.. Meeker, for he manufactured
this product for the Alaska trade
years ago. Mr.. Meeker fecently
stated that a plant for handling po-
tatoes can be constructed for a few
hundred dollars from material OBJ
tainable anywhere in this section,
which is in the extreme Northwest.
"a ton of potatoes" says Mr..
Meeker, Twill produce 500 pounds of
-four" The process he describes is
simple and inexpensive. First the
potatoes are washed clean and then
sliced with the peellngs on and
dropped Immediately into clean
water to prevent discoloration and
to rinse them; then as soon as prac-
ticable they r either parboiled or
steamed from.S to 10 minutes-long
enough to cook the starch-when
the slices lose their Opaque appear
ice and become transparent. The
cooked slices are then transferred to
a drier and for the first few hours
subjected to a current of hot air not
greater than 100 degrees F., after
which the temperature is gradually
increased to 10 degrees but no
greater.
The drying process is continued
until the slices are brittle, though it
is immaterial il a few here and there
are not thoroughly dried. When
taken off the kiln, the dried product
is placed in a compact pile in a dry
room and handled over daily for
three or four days until the pile
"evens up" after which they are
ready for the mill to grind them into
potato meal or flour.
A revolving washer-a long box
partially emerged in pile of water
can be cheaply built to easily wash 6
ton of potatoes an hour. An ordi
nary root cutter, which may be pur'
chased for $50 or less, will answer tc
slice the potatoes, but it is likely
that a more desirable machine fol
slicing may be found on the market
The average mill will cost from $15C
to 1925 and up, but at present cannot
be obtained on short notice.
Mr.. Meeker mentions one potato.
-four plant at Yakima, WASH, that
is producing Is to 80 barrels OF
-four a day. In April this flour
J was selling for $21 a barrel.

nor, the over-sensitive News, feels a
sort of crouch is conveyed. Yer.
monters are glad to praise Judge
Darling's work and fully recognize
his ability but at the same time they
may not feel that he is the best man
for governor. 1t is apparent the
Crouch" could be more justly
credited the News because all men
do not think as it does. The News is
an able champion of Judge Darling,
and the Herald takes no exceptions
to its attitude but its o~ver.zealous
support is hardly fair to the Judge,
and may reach that point where it
would be necessary to say deliver
him from his friends"
There is no need of looking for a
candidate for Secretary of State
providing Frederick G. Fleetwood
will accept the nomination. His
former service was one of the best in
the history of the state. This record
was ably followed by Guy W. Bailey,
and now that Mr.. Fleetwood is
again ably carrying out this work,
the Herald believes the people
of Vermont will urgently call him to
continue in this work.
Two Essex County boys have given
their lives on the battlefelds of
France. Corporal Walter G. Moore
and Private Allen R. Moore of Fitz-
dale. These brothers have patrioti-
cally given their all-met the su-
preme test-and their sacrifice for
liberty and justice will go down in
history with the states most hon.
ored sons. They were heroes-they
saw their duty, the need of humanity,
and CALAMITY, bravely fought the
fight and made the sacrifice for the
freedom of the world and the safety
of humanity. And the mother in
that home-oh, how the American
hearts ache for the mothers whose
son rest in the sacred soil of France
has made the greatest gift to her
country in sending forth these two
noble sons that through the sacrifice
such as theirs peace and freedom
might be vouchsafed the world.
Sorrow rests upon that home, and
sadness will ever cast a shadow about
its hearthstone. But the mothers
understand most fully the spirit
of sacrifice and there will rise that
abiding peace, sanctified and made
holy by the greatness of the gift and
the blessings that will come to fu-
ture generations.

The Whip, The Worlds Biggest
Motion Picture
The picture par excellence, the supreme
offering Of 6lmdom, is "The Whip the
screen version of the famous play that
ran for three years in London and for
over two seasons in New York City
when it was produced by William A.
Brady.
Afterward the play had a run of two
years in Australias. land a career without
precedent in every part Of the England
speaking world. 1t was translated into
French, Russian, German and other tom
CUES and always with enormous success.
1t was so vast in it's equipment of
scenes and effects that it could be pro-
dueed in only three or four theatres in all
America-such as the Manhattan Opera
House, New York, the Auditorium,
Chicago, etc. For this reason it has been
seen by less than ten per cent of the
theatre patrons of the Uuited States.
Its V~astness Increased
This vastness has been immeasurably
increased by the resource of motion
picture art. Given such advantages of
original magnitude, 1.-The Whip" offered
a rarely inviting subject for perturbation
at the hands of Maurice Tourneur.
Tremendous effects have been secured, as
for instance, the gigantic train wreck in
which a whole train was smashed to bits
at a huge cost for the sole purpose of
securing one scene for this picture.
The story is of the race track and the
intrigue revolving around a famous race
horse named The Whip. This intrigue
involves an i]mpecunious gentleman
and his adventures partner, a handsome
young man in love with the charming
daughter of the horse-loving Judge who
owns The Whip, the Jockey who rides
and idollzes the horse, and the ~unsopbisti-
Gated and pretty sister Of the jockey.
TheWOrId's Biggest Screen Play
Big race scenes, wonderful hunting
scenes, the best train wreck and the most
thrilling automobile accident ever seen in

combined with a powerful and attention
riveting story make this the worlds big
