' food values, tempting to the appetite,

witnoui pauing upon tne paiate.
; ,W. B. Ayer, federal food admlnlstra-
i tor for Oregon, this mornlngexpressed
' himself as being very glad that the po
. : tato has won national recognition, and
; that its- merits are being urged from
i headquarters at "Washington.
:!For some months," said Mr. Ayer,
"our local offloe has been calling atten-
tlon to' the Importance of the potato as
' m conservation food, and urging the
-..,. people of Oregon to eat mbre, not only
- for conservation purposes, but for the
, reason that support should be given the
' Nbducer. It is an obvious fact that if
the, producer does not find a ready mar
: kt and a fair price for his product he
will soon cease to be a producer.
"The food administration last spring
called upon the farmers everywhere to
' grow capacity crops of vegetables, es
, peclally potatoes, and the response was
splendid. In justice to the farmer who
so patriotically responded, the public
should buy these products, and particu
larly ths. potatoes, n generous quanti
ties and , be willing to pay prices that
will give: the producer a fair profit and
encourage him to plant for heavy crops
this year. I hope that the people of
Oregon will take this potato drive seri
ously, and that they will not only have
potatoes n tne table every, day,

iorxy-iinn neia artillery, stationed at)
Camp Kearny, to return to his regiment
following the holidays, police officers of
the country and government secret serv
ice agents have been notified to pick
him up as a deserter.
' Two things are said to be responsible
for ths action of the officer : First, a
muddled up condition of his financial
affairs, and second, women. '
King was at one time one of the most
popular officers of the regiment. Ho
first enlisted In the old Utah cavalry
and served with that regiment at the
border, where he won . appointment as
first' sergeant. When the cavalry was
transferred to-the artillery division and
the men moved to Camp Kearney, King
was made captain. He was a leader In
athletics and coach of the Utah football
team until he disappeared.
He is said to have borrowed money
from enlisted men and brother- officers
and also contracted debts in San Diego
for amounts running Into three figures.
A San Diego girl is said to have posed
as his wife. King was called upon to

Hot on Trail of
One Danny Cupid
Statistics for 1917 show that Cupid
Is not without grave competition. Al
most 50 per cent of the total of mar
riage licenses granted in Multnomah
county were offset by new divorce
suits filed. More weddings featured
ths year than ever before, but there
were more divorce suits also.
Compiled figures show 1044 couples
seeking divorce, with an increase of
272 over 1916, and 2294 seeking mar
riage, an increase of 520.
Cupid gained' the upper hand in
the month of June, when all records
In the history of the country were
broken with 278 marriages. Close on
her heels comes December with 273
couples mated. - These two months
were also the slowest of the 13 for
divorce suits. A hot comeback was
staged In September, however, when
all divorce records were smashed by
105 suits filed.
