the fact that they did not want to
even think Of avoiding their duty.
The Coloners spirit of Americanism
will stand the highest tests to which
1t can be put and will probably live
in Americans long after the spirit OF
some of his pacifist brethren has
passed away.
Which makes US think. perhaps II
the Kaiser hadn't felt that the spirit
Of pacifism was growing by leaps and
bounds in this country he wouldn't
have been so eager to enter a war
which meant the ultimate precipita-
tion OF all the really great nations Of
the earth into the fray against him.
The Kaiser unquestionably took ad-
vantage of the spirit of pacifism in
this nation-and thought that with US
in an apathetic state, IL not actually
committed TO a policy of utter help
lesness. he would be able to run
over the balance Of the world and GER
tainly so. II he could effect an alli-
ance with Japan. But all of this we
will leave 10 the historians to specu-
late on-only we hope none OF them
will forget 1t.

The Potato Situation in 1918.
w. J. Spillman.


There is grave danger that the
acreage Of potatoes planted this
spring will be wholly inadequate for
our needs.
Beginning with 1900, there was
moderately large crop for that peri
cd. The average farm price that
year was about AZ cents, which is
lower than it has ever been since:
This low price resulted in a small
crop the next year, SO small, in fact,
that it was entirely inadequate to
supply the needs of the country. This
shortage in production made the
farm price of potatoes very high in
the fall of 1901. At planting time in
the spring of 1902, this high price
caused an enormous increase in the
acreage planted. The crop was good
and as result the price fell below
SO cents a bushel the following fall.
This low price made a small crop
the next year, which in turn made a
high price. This high price made an
enormously large crop in 1904, with
an extremely low price. This low
price madea very small crop the next
year, and so on, alternating years of
over production and under-produc-
ton, with only three Interruptions
during this entire period of 10 sea-
sons.
The first interruption comes in
1908. In 1907 the crop was small
one and the price rather high. This
led to large planting the next
spring, but the season of 1908 was
very unfavorable and the resulting
crop was far smaller than the small
crop of the year before, so that in
the fall and winter of 1908 potatoes
were very high priced. This high
price made an enormous crop in 1909
The sequence was interrupted in 1911
and again in 1916, in both cases from
the same cause as in 1908.
The present situation is as follows:
We have on hand the largest crop
ever produced. While the price on
December 1, shown on the chart was
very high, the price to the farmer at
the present time, as shown by pro-
ducing centers was nowhere higher
than rs cents. Under such condi-
tons the farmers of the United
States have never planted a sufficient
acreage of potatoes. It is impor
tant that these facts be brought to
the. attention of potato growers with
view to securing an adequate plant
ing for this year.

NOTES

The prospects are that home
in Orleans county before the! first of
July. Seven communities are al
ready organized and it is to be hoped
that all the communities of Orleans
county may be organized within the
near future.
Order your spray materials early
to be sure of securing them. Many a
potato field was injured last year be-
cause spray materials were not Sc
cured early.

Whale as Food.

In the fifteenth century the whale
was frequently brought into requisi-
ton for gastronomic purposes. It was
found on the English royal table as
well as on that of the lord mayor of
London. The cook either roasted it
end served it up on the spit, or boiled
it and sent it in with peas; the tongue
and the tail were favorite parts.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what Won
wash it with
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is
very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which IS pure and en-
tirely greaselessl, is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else You can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly iriure the hair
Simply mois;en your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two -teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich,
creamy. lather. and cIeanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The Iather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust dirt. dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky. bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsified cocoarut oil
