AN AMERICAN PRO.
DUCT.

The reason for potato campaign
is that the food bins are hsaped with
potatoes as the answer of the farmer
to last years appeal for the bumper
war crops. The potato, grown
through patriotism, should be eaten
through patriotism. With so many
other things scarce, potatoes, which
are plentiful, should not go to waste.
And they will go to waste if they
are not eaten in the next few weeks.
TO eat potatoes is the best kind of
local, home patriotism.
Potatoes are strictly made-in
American product. They grew on
this continent when the Mohawks and
Cherokees ruled it with a tomahawk.
They were the gift of America to
Europe, and Europe has gone US one
better. England, France, Germany.
Belgium have made the potato nat
uralized citizen, while Ireland, God
bless her, has almost made it Pa
iron Saint along with st. Patrick him
self.
In spite Of it's adoption in other
countries, however, the potato proved
it was true America last year when
the crops were called to the front for
war service. 1t enlisted in the front
ranks of the food forces, with the re-
suit that we have such potato crop
as was naver known in this country.
Europe does not need to 81
potatoes. They are too bulky to
ship at this time when ships must be
saved for troops and for the most es-
santial and concentrated foods. There
fore, the best form of patriotism is to
eat our humper crop and make it help
save wheat. The potato has done its
"bit' by us. Shall we do our "bit''
by it? It's good soldier. Help it
fight the Kaiser.
