POTATOES INSTEAD
 WHEAT.

Use of potatoes to save wheat is demanded by the present situ- ation because greater quantities of wheat must be conserved for the use of the American forces and the allied armies in Europe, and also because an unusually large supply of potatoes remains in the hands of the growers. Great quantities of these will go to waste unless they are used even more freely and in a great CT variety of ways than is cus- tomary in American families.
 With the basic price of wheat fixed as at present, flour is $13.7O a barrel, or 2 cents a pound. If, then, potatoes can be obtained at $1.20 a bushel, which is cents a pound, it is an economy as well as a war service to use potatoes as a substitute for flour in bread making. Even at 8 cents q pound the potatoes cost no more than four.
 Ways to use potatoes in place of four for various uses, par ticularly in bread making, are shown by carefully worked out recipes in publications of the United States department of agriculture. Some of these recipes are given here.

The appointment of Albert J. Stone, vice president of the Erie rail- road, to the position of assistant to the regional director of Eastern railroads was announced by Regional Director A. H. Smith. MT. Stone has been ac- lively engaged under MT. Smith ever since the roads passed into government control.

He studied stenography at night, and became the storekeeper and shop clerk at Hornell. After this his rise was rapid, and he went to New York as chief clerk to the vice president and general manager, Daniel Willard, who at that time was with the Erie. le Erie was when he served as a gen. d Hudson company for two years He al manager, and rose through success sident in charge of the operation and 4.

CHOSEN TO LOOT THE UKRAINE

Now that Germany has made peace with the Ukraine, the most productive and useful section of the Russian em- pire, she turns her hungry eyes upon the Ukrainian food 1arders and asks but two questions: "How much have you got?" and "How soon can we get it?" Already some of the most eff cient economists of kaiserdom have been directed to find the answers quickly. Chief among them is Dr. Clemens Delbruck, ex-minister of the interior.
 Delbruck's will be the task of To- eating the precious wheat quarries in the great black earth region, of garner ing the stores, of hauling them by right or might out of Russia into Germany. It is his assignment to make of the Ukraine a vast reservoir of supplies from which great and endless streams of food can be kept flowing over the borders of the central powers.

WARNS OF GERMAN CUNNING

Isaac F. Marcosson, journalist, financial expert, historian of ''big busi- ness," war writer, is very busy helping stamp out the plague of German prop aganda. He has learned through per sonal investigation how German propa- ganda has been and is being ''put over" in Europe, and he issues a warning against the similar insidious methods that are being employed in this coun- try. His campaign at the present mo- ment is taking the form of speech making.
 Some of his most interesting pres ent disclosures relate to German eff forts in Spain. In a speech delivered in New York last week he declared:
 "Wherever there is water right for sale in Spain today a German is the first one to bid for it. With factory sites it is the same. If you could lift the roofs from many warehouses in Spain today you'd find them full of resources which the kaiser has mohi.

WHEAT SAVING IS
 URGENT SERVICE
Potatoes in Storage Will Surely
 Waste Unless Used More Freely.
MAKE SUPERIOR SUBSTITUTE
War-HeIping Housewife Is Constantly on Lookout for New Recipes for Bread and Cakes Requiring
 Less White Flour.

Every war-helping housewife, now that greater efforts must be made to save wheat, is on the lookout for new recipes for breads and cakes that re- quire less white four or none at all. Perhaps these recipes will help her solve the problem of the wheatless meals. Many good quick breads can be made from other Hours or meals and, If used often, constitute a great saving of wheat four.
 Try this buckwheat breakfast cake. All measurements in this and the fol- lowing recipes are level:
 BucIoN~heat Breakfast Cake. cupfuls buckwheat cupfuls sour milk. flour. 1 teaspoonful soda. x cupful shortening. 1z teaspoonful salt. Mix and bake in a flat pan so that the "cake" is about one and one-half inches thick when done. Cut in squares and serve hot like corn bread.
 Here is a good muffin made from cornmeal and rye:

Mix dry ingredients and add to liquid. Mix we'll and bake in greased muffin molds thirty to thirty-f1ve min utes. These muffins are very good without the molasses and raisins.
 If desired, an amount of grated raw potato equal to the amount of mashed potato called for may be used, but the resulting bread is darker and has a more marked potato flavor than when cooked potatoes are used.
 Try this recipe for tea biscuits. Mo- tice that the liquid is less than is the case when all flour is used, because of the water the mashed potato con- tains:
 Potato Biscuit.

 ing powder. Liquid sufficient to
 mix.
 Sift together twice the flour, salt and baking powder. Cut or rub into this the cold shortening. In the same way rub into this four mixture the mashed potato. Finally, add just enough cold liquid to make the mass cling together. Do not knead. Place on houred board, roll until one-half inch thick, and cut Into rounds. Place these in lightly foured biscuit tins and bake fifteen to twenty minutes in a moderately hot oven. Bake all potato breads more slowly than those made with flour alone.
 It is not necessary to go without cakes entirely these days in order to save wheat. The three recipes below use no white flour.

Underground BASIN
/ Of 100000 ACRE FEET

Phoenix, Ariz., Nov. 30.-The
drilling, of the first of wells that tap
an underground reservoir of 100000
acre feet of water, which. hydrolo-
gists say. lies under the Salt River
valley, has been started by the Salt
River Valley Waters Users associa-
tion. Three well rigs have been set
up in the vicinity of Mesa and the
other two are to be started soon.
The Salt River valley farmers
voted last August to spend 100000
for the construction Of from 40 to
60 pumping plants to develop water
to be used as an auxiliary to the
supply from the Roosevelt reservoir.
The wells are expected to serve a
double purpose. supplying water for
irrigation and serving as a drainage
system to carry off the underground
flow that has threatenedyto submerge
parts of the rich valley land.

the surrender of the entire German

open because continuation of the

number of French and British lives
and he could not have it on his con-
science to sacrifice one life after II

Members OF the association say
that all the influenza epidemics
since 1879 have been recurrent for
from two to three years after the
initial outbreak. For this reason
leading authorities feel convinced
that the visitation OF 1918 will be
repeated in 1919 and probably In
1920. Also II is pointed out that In
previous epidemics the second and
third outbreaks have been more vir
ulent and attended by higher NOR

ifestations.
