 Friday is to be potato day in Rhode island, and today every patri- otic person in the state is asked to eat potatoes in as large a quantity as possible, and to go without wheat in any form, making potatoes take the place of wheat. Food Administrator Coates says there are two reasons for this. One is that the people should do everything possible to conserve wheat, and they should also do what they can to dispose of the large quantity of potatoes.
 Frank w. Coy. chairman of the traf- fic committee of the Westerly Board of Trade, has been asked to take the initiative in the effort to have the troop train from Providence bearing selectiVe service young men to Camp Upton, on Saturday of next week, to make a stop at Westerly.

The laborers employed in the high way department of the town of West erly are on a strike as their demand for increased pay was denied. They ask for an increase of from $S to $3.30 day and their car fares besides. That the highway commissioners will &C., cede to the demand is only a matter of Q, short while. as there is work that must be done and no other laborers are available. Just as soon as this strike is settled and the men return to work, the commissioners will un- doubtedly yield to the public demand for improved conditions in Dixon square. The new macadam road was not completed when winter weather set in and the work was suspended Since then the loose rocks on the sur face have been raked from the road bed to the gutter, which is now filled with these ragged rocks that have proven to be disastrous to automobile tires. It is the plan of the commits sioners to complete this roadway just as soon as arrangements can be made with the tarvia company in Brockton, that put the heated material on the finished portion, direct from the motor truck that brought it from the shoe town. The commissioner is anxious to have this work finished be- fore the summer season is at its height and there is congestion of au- tomobiles in the square
 It has been suggested by those doin" business on the square that it would be good idea, for the 1aborers to rake this loose material from the gutter, shovel it into the town carts and take it away. for use elsewhere. ie aiy lot of +, at present and could be used to ad- vantage in repair work in some other section of the town.
