HELP SAVE THE WHEAT
Forty-Nine Ways to Serve the
Irish Spud Try Them
County Food Admr., Chas. E.
is starting the potato campaign
in order to save all wheat pos
sible, He will encourage mer
chants to put in window displays,
and get things moving all along
the line. Here is bis potato arti
cle, sent him by the U. S. Food
Administration :
The human engine is a mar
velous and complicated piece of
mechanism. And like an engine
made of iron and steel it must be
kept supplied with lubricants ns
well as propelling fuel. The so
called root vegetables do not
supply to the body the encrgy
furuishing properties of meats
or fats, but they do supply what
is of equal value, certain alkaline
properties to counteract the acid
effect of meat, eggs and cereals.
Among the vegetables known
as roots and tubers are potatoes,
both sweet and Irish, onions,
rutabagas, turnips, beets, pars
nips, ecle riac, artichokes, etc.
None of these contain protein
to any appreciable amount, but
they do contain carbohydrates
(which translated merely means
starch and sugar) and mineral
matter.
'II in potato is known primarily
as a starchy food. And since
starch is easily and thoroughly
iligesUd by the average individ
ual, and since the edible portion
of a potato represents 18.1 per
cent, of carbohydrates, most of
which is starch, the potato is
safe and same as a part of our
dally diet.
Resides, it is plentiful and not
high in price compared with oth
er foods. With an estimated ex
cess of "0,000.000 bushels for
this year's yield potatoes should
b cheaper than they have been.
And it becomes the patriotic du
ty of all good Americans to cat
prodigally of them in order to
save other things for needs
across the seas.
Potatoes have long been such
au integral part of the dinner
diet that we do not tire of them.
Nor in there any need of monot
ony in serving them. The story
is told of a cook in a girls'
boarding school who served
boiled potatoes for (i days in suc
cession . Then the housekeeper
delivered au ultimatum.
"There are just ID ways of
serving potatoes," she declared,
"and I don't want to sec boiled
potatoes on the table again until
you have exhausted the other 48
ways."
And there is a sequel to that
story. For now more than one
hundred ways of serving pota
toes have been devised, accord
ing to Bulletin No. 4tS8 of the
United States Department of
Agriculture.
The amount of mineral matter
contained in the potato varies
with its stage of growth, but
these soluble salts are always
near the skin so that to retain
them the skin should be pared
off very carefully and closely or,
better still, it should be kept on
and eaten.
One way of using up some of
the surplus potato supply is by
making potato bread. Many old
fashioned bread makers still
cling to potato yeast, and since
the potato is so rich in starch,
less wheat flour is necessary in
order to form a stiff dough. 1 he
bread made from potato flour is
somewhat darker in color nnd
more moist than that made from
the wheat flour; but by using it
as an admixture, at least, it
would contribute much to the
conservation of wheat.
The reason for a potato cam
paign is that the food bins are
heaped with potatoes as the an
swer of the farmer to last year's
appeal for the bumper crops
The potato, grown through pa
triotism, should be eaten through
patriotism. With so many other
thing scarce, potatoes, which
are plentiful, should not go to
waste. And they will go to
waste if they are not eaten in the
next few weeeks. To eat pota
toes is the best kind of local,
home-grown patriotism.
In spite of its adoption in oth
er countries, however, the pota
to proved it was n true American
last year when the crops were
called to the front for war ser
vice . It enlisted in the front
ranks of the food forces, with the
result that we have such a pota
to erop as was never known In
this country. Europe does not
need to share our potatoes.
They are too bulky to ship at
this time when ships must be
saved for troops and for the most
essential and concentrated foods.
Therefore, the best form of pa
triotism Is to cat our bumper
erop and make it help save
wheat.
The potato has done its "bit"
by us. Shall we riot do our "bit"
by it? It's a good soldier.
Help it fight the Kaiser.

In a statement issued by Port
land Chamber of Commerce cov
ering shipbuilding in the Oregon
District, it is shown that where
there were six wooden Shipbuild
ing plants Dec. 10, 1910, there
are now 17 and the number of
employees in both steel and
wooden yards has increased from
4200 at that time to 25000 men.
The monthly payment roll was
$302,400 in December, 191 C, and
now is placed at $2,754,000. It
is set forth 18 steel ships have
been launched of 180,400 tons,
while there are 94 vessels on the
ways against 11 the bitter part
of 1916. The combined tonnage
of vessels building then was 48,
000 and those being worked on
now is 370,000 tons.
The total amount represented
in contracts has climbed in the '
same period from $22,250,000
to $155,300,000. This is the;
strongest argument to show why :
everything possible should be :
done to encourage shipbuilding
in Oregon."
