FURTHERMO r E hereby
designate Sunday, September
Fourteenth, as College Sunday,
and respectfully urge the minis
ters of all churches in the State
of Arizona to devote at least one
sermon on. that day to the cause
of college education. And 1

no less than the secular affairs

upon higher education. Just
now the financial rewards seem
to go in disproportionate meas

are passing out of the era of
Brute Force (which we have
fought in a winning war to end,
and we are entering into an era
when knowledge and trained in
telligence and right conduct are
to be of increasing influence
among men and nations. The
Church and College are proper
partners in preparing for the
New Era.
Our own State supports a Uni
versity, with Colleges of Agri-
culture, Mines and Engineering,
and Letters, Arts and Sciences
and l would urge upon our peo-
pie the duty o fmaking use of
this excellent and growing in
stitution for the training of their
sons and daughters.

tue of the authority vested in me

Toasted Potatoes Regarded
Good Substitute for Bread
Skins Add to the Flavor

The United States this year, II mp
pears, will have to feed practically
oil of Europe. Every suggestion for
conservation of food and variation in
preparation Is welcome and an arti.
Gle In Good Housekeeping has special
value In this connection. To quote:
ut Is plainly Il patriotic duty to use
potatoes ms n bread substitute. The
nearest approach to conventional meth
DDS of cooking potatoes for n bread
substitute Is, OF course, n perfectly
baked potato, but n perfectly baked
potato Is rare ms n day In June.
Even a perfectly baked potato
served at the psychological moment
does not give that subtle sense OF
bread function TINT the piece OF bread
or tonst, held In hand affords.
"Prepare good-slzed potatoes as II
10 bake, being more sc%rupulously care
full than usual to scrub and cleanse
the skin carefully and remove all bad
spots. Cut he perfectly clcansed po-
tato lengthwlse into slices one-fourth
OF an inch thick. Put the slices loose
ly into n wire basket or steamer and
steam until they are properly tenn
pered'-that is, until they are In part
hut not completely cooked. II they are
completely cooked by the steam, they
nre OF no particular value as a bread
substitute. As n rule, about ten min
utes' steamIng Is adequate. After this
initial steaming, dry the slices well
between clean towels and tonst as you
would slices OF bread, or put them in
a wire basket or perforated pan and
bake In n very hot oven until the slices
nro dellcately Drowned on both sides.
Sprinkle lightly with salt. Serve MS
you would toast. The skins can be re-
moved before serving or while eat
ing, but II one Is n connoisseur, n real
disciple Of Eplcurus, with as much love
OF flavor and conservation ms a boy or
animal, he viii eat the toasted slices
