WISH

Wherever there is sickness

Whe1 ever there is poverty
May Santa Claus bring wealth.
Wherever che is weeping
May tears to smiles give way,
Wherever sadness hovers

To every heart that's aching
May peace and comfort come,
And may an outlook rosy
Supplant each outlook glum.

Soon reunited be,
And everyone find gladness

THURSDAY POTATO DAY
Consumers Are Urged to Purchase
Them in Quantity Once
Week

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Feb. 6. - F. B.
Mumford, federal food administrator
for Missouri, has designated Thursday
of each week as "Potato Buying Day
in this state. Consumers are urged to
buy potatoes in quantity on this day.
By the use of more potatoes and less
white bread, more wheat can be re-
leased to our soldiers in France and
our associates in the war. The follow
ing announcement in regard to "Po-
tato Buying Day" was made recently
by Dean Mumford:
"The United States food admin
istration has given its approval of a
The supply of potatoes this year is
90,000,000 bushels in excess of the
normal requirement. The present
price of potatoes is about one-half of
the price one year ago. In contrast
to this reduction in the price of pota-
toes, the increased price of other food
commodities has advanced about thirty
per cent. In order, therefore, to en-
courage the consumption of potatoes,
the federal food administrator for
Missouri has fixed Thursday of each
week as Potato Buying Day. and
urges all consumers to buy potatoes in
quantity on this day. In case Thurs
day should be inconvenient for the
merchant, each merchant is requested
to name day that would be most con-
venient to himself and his customers.
In buying potatoes it is recommended
that purchaser buy by weight"

WISCONSIN GOVERNOR ASKS
TRIAL FOR LA TOILETTE

WATERFOWL, Wis, Feb. 6. =
Gov. E. L. Phillips, addressing mass
meeting here last night, said that if
Senator La Toilette has committed an
offense against the Government the
United States Senate should expel
him. If, on the other hand, it is
found in an unbiased investigation he
has done nothing that disqualifies
him as a senator or patriotic citizen,
the United States should say so and
the public trial of La Toilette should
end.
"If / was Senator La Follette's po-
litical or personal friend" said Phil
lipp, 81 would advise him to insist up
on immediate disposition of the case
that has been brought against him in
the Senate, and, if he retains his seat
or not, he should resign and come
back to the State and ask the people
for reelection.
"There is no better way to deter
mine whether he represents the will
of the people of the State"
