coherent exclamation he held out his

FRENCH POTATOES
TAKEN BY GERMANY
ONE OF SERIOUS LOSSES OF
SPRING OFFENSIVE WAS IN
POTATO LANDS.

One Of Frances greatest losses in
the enemy's spring offensive has been
$4,000 acres of land planted with pota-
toes by her soldiers behind the lines.
Germany announces this capture to
the German people with rs much ac-
claim as II each one Of these acres had
been gun, for Germany does not have
to be told the value Of potatoes. She
herself has reduced potato production
to such a science that with less than
one-tenth our area she produces five
times as many potatoes as we do in
the United States!
Nevertheless, with this immense po-
tato supply, she doles out her potatoes
to her people, afraid that they will
waste this valuable vegetable If she
allows them to have too many at q
time on hand.
Potatoes vs.. Bread.
Last winter in Berlin the potato ra-
ton per week per capita was pounds
1O1s ounces. Until the possibility of
getting rich wheat supplies from Rus
STA opened up, there. was considerable
agitation throughout Germany for a
larger potato ration, for the German
hausfrau knew If she could put plenty
Of potatoes on her table her family
would never miss the lack Of bread
In recent potato bulletin gotten out
by the English food ministry the fol-
lowing suggestion and recipes are CIV
en- to the patriotic English housewife.
They are equally applicable, however,
to American housewives who are pa
trtotically making potatoes figure more
prominently on their tables than ever
before in order, to do with less bread.
Never Peel spuds.
"Potatoes," this English potato bull
letin warns, SHOULD never be peeled
before cooking. Everyone who peels a
potato today is doing an unpatriotic
thing in wasting the nations food and
is directly helping the U-boats to
starve us out
THE best part Of the potato lies
next to the skin and even thin peel
ing wastes three to four ounces In
every pound. Potatoes should, there
fore Except for such dishes as Irish
stew always be boiled in their skins.
If baked in their jackets layer Of the
best part sticks to the skin, and Is usu-
ally wasted"
The bulletin also urges the English
housewife who must put up lunches for
her children or husband to eat away
from home to use cold cooked potatoes
IN her sandwiches in place Of bread.
The following is one Of the most
popular recipes taken from this Eng
lish potat6bulretin:
~ lbs. cold cooked o.. marss,+n.
Potatoes . OF. grated cheese
Ia PINT milk Salt and pepper
Mash the potatoes and NIX Il the Cheese Put
the margarine and milk into q saucepan and
heat. Then mi! thoroughly with the potatoes.
Season with salt and pepper and place large
spoontuls Of the mixture in separate piles. ike
drop cakes on creased tin. Bake In a quick
oven 10 to Is minutes or till a golden color.

New Shell Bursts In Air.

A French army man has invented
a shell which, when fred from q rs
caliber cannon, will explode in the air
instead Of having to come In contact
with something before bursting. The
invention was devised by Command
ant Malandin Of the general STAFF Of
Paris. 1t is said that the new shell
increases the range Of effectiveness
in aiming at the enemy's fortress or
in the field Of battle. French artillery
authorities state that the new inven-
ton practically doubles the value of
the 75-caliber cannon. The missile
will undoubtedly be standardized and
used by all Of the French army men.

O'Reilly's hesitation became an EN-
barrassed silence. He tried to laugh
it OF.
"There is; otherwise I'd stay right
here and tell my penurious friends to
whistle for their profits. It seems I'm
cursed with fatal beauty. You may
have noticed IT? No? Well, perhaps
it's magnificent business ability that
I have. Anyhow, the president Of my
company has a notion that I'd make
him a good son-in-law."

And at her tone O'Reilly hurried on
"These rich men have the most alb
surd ideas. suppose I'll have to-"
"Then you are in love, senor?"
The young man nodded vigorously.
"Indeed am-with the sweetest girl
in Cuba. That's the whole trouble.
That's why I'm hurrying home to re.
sign before Tn fired" Not daring to
look too long or too deeply into Rosa
varona's eyes until she had taken in
the whole truth, he waited, staring at
his feet. .'I'm sort of glad 1t has come
to a showdown and can speak ont.
I'm hoping she'll miss me-" After a
moment he ventured, "Will sheer
will you, Rosa?'
"? Miss your" Rosa lifted her
brows in pretended amazement. 'sYou

men, was white and worried. For a

briskly and, after shaking hands with
O'Reilly, left the two lovers to say fare
well as best suited them.
But for once O'Reilly's ready tongue
was silent. The laughter was gone
from his blue eyes when he turned to
the girl at his side.

BREED THEATRE
Harold Lockwood in Lend Me Your Name, a Rapid Fire Farce Comedy, RepIete With PerpIexing Situations, Feature Today.

Harold Lockwood plays a dual role in Lend Me Your Name the Metro all- star serial picture which is featured at the Breed theatre today. Lend Me Your Name begins when the Earl of Gilleigh is advised of the coming from Europe of his domineering wife, So- phronia, and to escape her he arranges 10 trade identities with his double, Warren Ellis, second story man. The complications start with the arrival of Sophronia and are further devel- oped when the Earl and his double meet the same girl, Rosalind, who is played by the stars leading lady, Pau line Curley. As the Earl is married and Ellis is single, the manner of each towards the girl is widely con- trasted and general confusion results. Pearl White and Antonio Moreno are also seen in that thrilling photodrama The House of Hate. A new Mack Sennett comedy titled Tanning Target Center, featuring Polly Moran and Ben Turpin and the Burton Holmes tra- vel series make up the remainder of the bill for today.

 Mir. and Mrs. Arthur Rainey of Will limantic spent the Fourth with MT. and Mrs. Harry Denman.
 Homer Neal, IT., left Saturday on a business trip through the south and middle west, expecting to return about the middle of September.
 Held Annual Meeting.
 At a meeting of the Get-Together club held last week the following were elected to office for the next six months: President, J. K. Edwards, vice president, Fred Service; treasur- CT, Frank Dafranek; secretary, Thom- as Wondrasek. The club voted to close the hall during July and August
 Liberty Stamp Pledges.
 The war savings stamp drive for the town of Wilmington, resulted in 436 pledges, covering 63S persons, amount ing to S12,1723T This amount is in- creased by about $500 worth of stamps previously sold. The showing is most creditable to the town in view of the hundreds of thousands of dol lars already subscribed for Liberty bonds, Red Cross, Y. M. c. A. and all other drives to hasten the end of the war.
 The success of the campaign is largely due to the committee, George P. Bugbee, Ed. Burdick, Charles c. Dimock. Charles Pobuda, Rev. Chas. A. Parker, Homer Teal, Jr., Arthur T. Spicer, Mrs. Fred Colburn. Mrs. Anna Mather. Mrs. Walter Colburn and John Arnold Houchens of Hartford who generously offered his services for
