Some War Economies.

There is probably nothing that
seems so useless in the eyes Of the
average person as an Irish potato
which has begun to rot, but the de-
partment of agriculture in its wartime
experiments has discovered that starch
can be made from a decayed potato
just as well. if not better, than from
a good one, and so the surplus stock
Of the farmer or dealer need no longer
be thrown away or wasted.
In like fashion chemists seeking
methods to avoid worldwide food
shortages have found that sugar cam
not only be made fBom beets. but
from sweet potatoes as well. The
farmer himself can make good sirup
from his sweet potatoes by boiling
them until they can be mashed in the
water to thick. mushy liquid. To this
ground malt is added and the result.
after properly cooking for about an
hour, is thick sirup, which is strained
Though cloth and used for any sort
of sWeetening.

Unique in the annals Of war loan
history is the case of A. F. Moon, Jr.:
cashier of the Gainesville Bank, Car
tersviIle, Va. He has already secured
subscriptions for the entire allotmen'
Of his bank. This is the first bani
in the Fifth Federal Reserve District
which has made such record, so far
as is known.

town, county, state and nation" de.
clared Mr.. Moon. AT the close Of the
Fourth Liberty Loan campaign. l
thought it would be a good idea to
keep the ball rolling, SO instead OF
stopping / went straight ahead and
continued getting subscriptions for the
Fifth Loan. Our bank sold $4,000 OF
the Fourth issue, which is more than
double it's quota, and was so much
encouraged over that record that de.
cided to start right to work on the
Fifth Loan.
CUP to date, we have subscriptions
for more than $4,000 Victory Bonds,
but we are not through yet and ex-
pect to go right ahead and try to
double this if possible. The argument
I used was simply that the Victory
Loan was needed by my Government
and that it was up to every man to
finish the Job by paying the bills for
a victory which would have been
cheap at double the price"
Mr.. Moon said he didn't know much
about the terms, interest rates OF
other details of the Victory Loan and
didn't care, going on the assumption
that the loan would be good PROPOSE

TRY
To OBTAIN BONDS

Rer rts are widespread that some
owners of Liberty Bonds have sold
them at prices lower than their mar
ket value. Investigations show that
shrewd spectators are active in try
ing to induce people to part with their
government securities. Many OF them
are offering to take Liberty bonds in
exchange for other so-called "securl-
ty". which promises higher rate of
interest than Liberty Bonds.
II is pointed out by treasury Off
Gals that Liberty Bonds are worth
every dollar paid for them. One evi-
dence Of their value is the eagerness
Of the speculator to get possession OF

worth. The Liberty Bond owner does
NOT know the value Of the "stock" or
"bond" he is offered in exchange for

the entire resources of the United
States which makes them worth their
fa,e value. The person who ex-
e. anges them for some other kind OF

BRED GREAT men
italian City of Florence May
Claim High Honor.
Birthplace of Many Of Those VINO
Rank, in intellectual Ability and
Achievement, Far Above tho
Rest Of Mankind.

AT first thought enc would be apt
to claim for London. the great metrop-
oils. the honor of having given birth
to the greatest number Of the worlds
geniuses.
Among other great Londoners the
following might be cited: Francis Ba-
con, philosopher and essayist; Spen-
ser, JonSon, Milton and Keats, world
known and honored poets; Hogarth.
Turner. Watts. MillaiS and Holman
Hunt, artists whose achievements are
acclaimed by all the world Of taste;
Fox. Pitt and BeacOnsfield. statesmen
who have Influenced the building OF
empire; Daniel Defoe. the novelist;
Faraday and Huxley, the scientists.
and many others. All these would
stand in the very front ranks Of great
ness. some Of them. like Milton and
Bacon, towering above their fellow
men like mountain peaks among mole
hills.
The Frenchman would undoubtedly
stand up for the claims Of Paris, quot
ing long list Of poets and painters
and novelists and statesmen to justify
his boast.
The Italian would probably put the
question: "How far back may we 90
in this quest? For If ancient Rome is
to be added to the record of the more
modern city. where will you find her
equal?"
Then Athens would lift up her clas-
sic voice in protest, and quote a long
list of her sons who have formed the
models Of all subsequent time in art
and poetry and philosophy and archi-
lecture.
But there is another competitor
which can beat them all in this COM
bat. Compared with London or Paris.
or even Rome, 1t is small place.
The city is Firenze-Florence-the
native city of Savonarola, Of Fra An
gelico. Of Donatello. of Botticelli, OF
Leonardo da Vinci. Of the mighty Nj
chael Angelo. the glory Of his age and
of all succeeding ages; Florence. the
city of Boccaccio. the father Of novel
lists; of Machiavelli, whose very name
is a proverb, and of the famous Me-
dici; yes. and lastly, Florence the city
Of Dante, the first both in time and
position of this glorious galaxy OF
stars Of the first magnitude.
How such small place ever gave
birth to SO many mighty sons Of
genius is one of the standing puzzles
Of heredity and environment and edu-
cation. Why does not Glasgow breed
geniuses? Nobody knows. During a
period of two hundred years Florence
was forcing bed for supreme achieve
ment. During that time the little city
broke all records, ancient and mod
ern. and it is hard to see where her
competitor is to spring from who shall
take away her crown Of laurels.
