EAT MORE POTATOES
AND SAVE THE Wheat

At the present price potatoes are
cheap food. Unless the average
consumption increases, many million
bushels will be wasted or consumed
at lower feeding value by stock.
Every additional bushel used for hui
man food lessents the demand for
wheat flour. Potatoes grown and
eaten in Cook county aid in the food
conservation movement by eliminats
ing unnecessary transportation sof
food ,stuffs. And the money paid I'D
the local grower adds so much to the
financial resources of the county.
The U. S. Department of Agricult-
ure Circular No. 106, entitled "Use
Potatoes to Save Wheat" contains a
number of tested recipes for the use
of potatoes in breads, biscuits, cakes,
cookies, and other ways. Get copy
of the circular from Mrs. Ed. Tof-
tey or County Agent VIM. Clinch.

LAST CHANGES FOR MEN
REACHING II TO ENLIST

Final action has been taken by
Congress on the amended draft bill,
requiring all men who have attained
the age of 81 years since June S,
1917 to register on that date this
year. The bill is now in the hands
of President Wilson and only awaits
his signature, BEFORE action will be
begun by Provost Marshall General
General Crowder to have the men
classified, and made available for
service. The general belief is that
100000 additional Class 1 men will
be available after the next registra-
tion.
Voluntary enlistments for men
who come under the new draft will
stop with their registration. Excel
lent opportunities are open for
number of them at the present time
in various branches--of the service.
High school boys, with knowledge
of gas engines and manual training
experience are particularly desirable
for further training and the War
Department has already made plans
specialized work.

ABOUT CONSERVING

Don't howl about food regulations
in this country. The Swiss people
are allowed one pound Of sugar per
month, per person and only one-fifth
of a pound of butter per month.
The potato. has enlisted in war
service. 1t makes a good soldier.
Eat it--unifor mand all.
The, consumption Of wheat -four is
now not to exceed one and .one-half
pounds per person each week. If the
housewives can do with even less, so
much more to lessen the hui! Ger OF
every man, woman, and child in the
allied countries of Europe.
To eat potatoes is the best kind of
local, home grown patriotism.
We owe it to the boys at the front

DECORATION DAY

May 3oth is Decoration Day. The
Day should be appropriately observ-
ed, first by. rendering prayer in be-
half Of the suffering soldiers now on
the battle front. Every citizen
should compose himself for few
moments and solemnly think Of the
present raging war as his war; then
calmly let your thoughts comprehend
the vastness Of the horror and the
unrelenting suffering that human be-
ings are obliged to bear. Secondly,
the day should be duly observed in
the way of decorating and trimming
up the graves Of the dead. Let the
day not be forgotten or spent in
vain. 3z Il. =4. .1 n L
