Are Not Interested.

Ccrtaldo, little Italian mountain
town near Florence is chiefly noted
as the probable birthplace and the in
dubitable home of one BoccacciO, an
author much read by learned savants,
because he was in some sort the foun-
der of modern literature, giver Of
ideas to Shakespeare and the Eliza
bethanS, forerunner of the short story
writer of today, and, as such, respOn-
sible for the American magazine. Ger
taldo is mildly c0nJciOus of the honor
of being the home Of Boccaccio, but
they are not excited about the fact
there, writes correspondent. They
have named hill after him and a
street, and they show you his house,
and there is q statue supposed to re-
semble him down by the railroad sta
ton, but celebrity five centuries old
is hardly good enough to constitute
the principal industry of city, even
a city as small as Certaldo. They are
grateful for what tourist traffic Boo
caccio brings in, but they are a farm
ing folk, particularly interested in the
raising of onions.

The food administration is
asking the people of the United
States to use more potatoes as a
wheat saving measure. Why !!
Because we have somewhere be-
tween thirty and seventy millions
surplus bushels Of table potatoes
that must be consumed between
now and the next crop in this
country. Not only must this ex-
cess be saved as food but more
wheat must be sent to our asso-
ciates in the war and baked po-
tato which saves slice Of bread
is real soldier. Both are rich
IN the starch that keeps up
energy. A m orleans eat only
about two and one-half bushels
of potatoes per person per year.
The English and the French eat
more than three times as many.
Use potatoes. There are few
new" ways in which they can
be cooked but little Improvement
over the old ways is needed.

doctrine of nOnresistance. They are
the followers of Kaspar won SchWenk-

the sixteenth century. He was an AT

views differed greatly from those OF
Luther. He did not found church us
it was inconsistent with his principles,
but after his death his followers held
meetings and different congregations
came into existence in various parts OF
Germany, particularly in Silesia. They
suffered much persecution and many
left their homes. In 1874 81 families
emigrated from Silesia to Pen1syl-

Canes of Early DAYS.

The cane of early American history,
like that of biblical times, was part
OF the repertory of the leaders of the
church. 1t was the principal badge OF
the deacon. The cane was about FIVE
feet long. One end was embellished
with big knob. the other with feath-
ers When the small boy rebelled
against the straight-back pew, he got
a rap on the head with the unchar
liable end of the cane. If the head of
the family got to dreaming about hi
old English home and the cozy little
nest in one of the shires, the turkeys
plumage on the deacOn's cane feath
cred the sleeper into life again.

RED CROSS NEWS

The Northern Division Of the
American Red Cross exceeded It's
quota in the Christmas member
ship drive. This was the an
nouncement made on the day at
ter Christmas by John Leslie, d.
vision chairman Of the member
ship drive committee.
Just how much the quota will
be exceeded, Mr.. Leslie declared
it would be impossible to say I'M
til returns were in from all Min
nesota towns. The quota was
exceeded, according to the re-
ported figures without counting
returns from Minnesota outside of
the three large cities of Minnea-
polls, st. Paul and Duluth.
Complete returns eport d
from South Dakota give that
state membership Of 10000,
North Dakota repored member
ship Of 166,200 and Montana
100000, total for the states of
the division exclusive of Mime
sofa of 100000.
The original quota set for the
division was $4,000, divided as
follows: Minnesota, 100000
Montana, $4,000, North Dakota,
$4,000, and South Dakota 49,
000, and South Dakota $4,000.
Thus if Minnesota had falle1
to $4,000 members the division
would still have maintained its
quota. However, complete re
