THIS is potato WEEK"

"Have another potato" will be
the principal invitation every host
ess will give her guests during the
present week. "Potato Week" be-
gan Sunday, and every Kentucky
family will be expected to serve the
tubers three times a day for seven
days.
The object of 'Potato Week" is
to save wheat. No one eats bread
and potatoes at the same time. For
this one week, though, every Ken
tuckian will be expected to do with
out wheat products altogether if
he possibly can. Federal Food Ad-
ministrator f. M. Sackett, esti-
mates it is possible to save 10000
barrels of flour.

KILL USELESS DOGS AND CATS

Next to chickens, dogs are the
most inveterate enemies of the home
gardener. The Department of Ag-
riculture believes that in the pres
ent emergency every dog should
either have a good excuse for his
existence or else cease to exist. A
medium sized dog consumes as
much food as a human being, and
the vast majority of them serve no
useful purpose. For the support of
INDECENT dogs and cats we are
spending millions which we can not
afford. Every state should have a
law compelling all dogs and cats to
be registered and putting a heavy
tax upon them. The enforcement of
such law would soon result in the
elimination of superauous dogs and
cats.
