Uncle Harry Tells About the March

a most unusual and inspiring cere-
mony. The Liberty Bell at Indepen-

independence OF 6J,O0O,OOO people, while
the representatives Of these people and
great crowd OF philadelphians cheer
ed the peals Of the big bell to the

Burbank's Liberty Wheat
Gives Promise That Bread
Is to Be More Abundant

AS Luther Burbank has not been in
the habit of indulging in baseless sem
Sations, the announcement from Santa
Rosa that, after eleven years of ex-
perimentatiOn, he has evolved a wheat
plant which will yield an average OF
forty bushels to the acre of grain
possessing a high percentage of glu-
ten becomes news of first importance,
asserts a writer in the New York
World.
Although the wheat crop of the
United States is greater than that of
any other nation, the average yield to
the acre has always been compare
lively small. Some years ago it did
not exceed twelve bushels. Taking
into account what Mr.. Burbank has
done in the matter of potatoes, apples
and plums, to say nothing of flowers,
miracles, we may easily accept at face
value whatever he has to say in re-
gard to cereals.
Wheat flour has become so vital as
a food of civilization that strenuous
efforts have been made to extend the
acreage and by more careful methods
of tillage to increase the average prod
uct. Thus far, however, in spite of
agitation and instruction, such results
as have been gained must be attrib-
uted more to favorable seasons than
to intensified cultivation. What a
wizard of horticulture has achieved in
the wonderful climate of California
may not be repeated by everybody else
under less favorable conditions, but
his discovery is full OF promise that
some day the bread of the world is to
be more abundant. The man who wins
that triumph will be entitled to stand
in the front rank of those who are to
conquer the earth for liberty and de-
| mocracy.

British Food Experts Tell
How Potato Butter Is Made

Butter, which formerly was an exclu-
sive product Of the COW, will in future
be made from nuts and potatoes. The
latest substitute to compete with the
bovine nectar of the meadow and the
silo has been announced by the con-
servation department of the United
States food administration to be pota-
TO butter.
From the home of the 'magna char
ia" comes a recommendation by the
British ministry of food that potato
butter can be made for ten cents a
pound. Here is the modus operandi:
"Peel the potatoes. Boil until they
fall to pieces and become fioury. Rub
them through fine sieve into warm
ed basin. To IA ounces Of potatoes
add two ounces of butter or marga-
rine and one tablespoonful Of salt.
Stir until smooth. Mold into rolls.
Keep in a cool place. Use butter col
oriDg to improve the appearance. If
intended to be kept more than q few
days, use butter preservative."

Produce Food, MIR.
Town Man
Get Blistered and q Clean
Conscience
prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)

Speaking of food-how much Of
what you eat do you help to produce
by your own work? Farms need labor.
The difficulty is not an insufficiency
of actual man power. There are plenty
of men to supply the farms with help.
But that man power is applied to
other things and the farms will not be
adequately supplied with help unless
men turn temporarily from their pres
emf business or employment and work
on farms in their county during the
rush periods of cultivation and har-
vest
If we were not at war you might feel
free to disregard this as your per-
sonal duty. But we are at war; this
is a war need, and you are not free
to disregard it.
1t is the duty of every strong man
of farm experience or of farm apti-
tude, who is not now engaged in work
of war value, and not engaged in work
to which his personal attention is con-
stantly Indispensable, to go to farms
I'm the agricultural territory adjacent
to his town when farm labor needs are
urgent and help produce the food
crops which are essential to war win
ming.
You eat every day. Some mans
hard work produced that food. Our
soldiers in France must eat and some
body's hard work must produce that
food. If you are so situated that you
can help produce this food it is your
duty to do so.
Get in touch with the county agent
of the United States department of
agriculture and the state agricultural
college or write the state agricultural
college if you cannot get in personal
touch with nearby farmers who need
help. Lay off your present job or get
away from your present business for
a few days or a few weeks as you
are needed. You'll lose money and
weight. You'll gain blisters, sore
muscles and a clear conscience.

BRINGING THE WAR HOME

Now that Germany has extended her
policy of frightfulness and brought
her U-boat warfare to the coasts OF
this country, there should no longer
be any American unwilling or unpre
pared to do his utmost to settle, once
for all, this diabolical and fendish
power.
If Germany had deliberately sought
for a method which would do more
to stir this country and bring it to its
senses and to resolution to gather
all it's strength, she>could have found
no better means than to have sent her
submarine to prey off of the ships of
our coast. The sinkiog of American
vessels almost within sight of our
coast line, by German submarines is.
or ought to be, sufficient proof to any
American that we are not safe from
the ravages of war even though we
are removed 5000 miles from the con.
f1ict.
The presence of German submarines
off our coast is positive challenge to
every American. President Wilson's
proclamation calling for enlistments in
the War Savings army on or before
June 2Sth offers the opportunity for a
good rousing American answer to that
German challenge. The National War
Savings committee wants to know
what kind of an answer the people Of
Kentucky are going to give to this
latest German atrocity.

Ask yourself this question: What
am l doing toward helping my coun-
try win the war;" If you are not do
ing something don't you think you are
a very lukewarm American?
The Government doesn't ask very
much of you. 1t merely asks you to
do without unnecessary things and in.
vest your money saved thereby in So
curities. You can buy War Savings
Stamps and assist the Nation.
Remember that every time you buy
a War Savings Stamp, which is re
deemable in gold in 1928, you are nr

THRIFT VALUABLE
IN PEACE TIMES

While the success of the War
Savings campaign is a necessity as
a measure of war, it is just as i'm
portant as a peace measure. The
person who invests in War Saw
ings Stamps does not merely felp
win the war, but he exercises
creditable and profitable foresight.
If the present War Savings cam
paign should fail, it would greatly
cheer the kaiser and his Potsdam

reason why it must succeed. That
is why every loyal Kentuckian must
enlist in the army of savers.
