Mrs, H. H. Hurst last week sent
| Federal food administrator Ayer at
; Portland two sample loaves of bread in
! which potatoes were used as a substi-
| tute for flour. One loaf was composed
i flour 50 per cent and potatoes 50 pei
: cent; the other was one third potatoes
[ and two-thirds flour. Both these were
I sampled by the writer, and were in no
way inferior to bread made in the usual
way—being white, moist and of excel­

LETTERS FROM FRANCE
Ira W, White writes, from France
That the first mail was greeted like a
}
birthday. He says, "W e are getting
along fine. We are.getting along fine.
We have good barracks, plenty of fuel
and Veats.", Trie weather is mild and
very home like. We have made some
moves since we landed and are ? long
way from that part, but we like the
weather much better as it was very
cold then. I am having a great time
learning French, but am getting some
ot it.”
His brother Victor also writes, under
the date of January 25, saying that he
rind Ira are not now at the same place.
He says, further, “ 1 came near being
home-sick yesterday. It was a beauti­
ful day, just like one'’ of those bright
sunshiny days in Oregon. It has taken
a little more time than I thought to
g st out of the hospital. I have been
up and around for two weeks, but you
see we are welt taken cai e of and are
not turned loose till we are fine and
well,”
Both the White boys are now ser­
geants. and are making progress to­
ward further promotion.
Mrs. Ida Miller and Mrs. Percy Cat­
lett were visitors in Salem this week.

L.M.FeIts Drowned
Small Boat Accidentally Overturns
While Crossing the Willamette.
Attempts to Rescue Fail.
L. M. Felts, one of the best knpwn
citizens of the Butteville section, was
drowned Tuesday afternoon about three
o’clock while crossing the Willamette,
from his home to Butteville. While It
is not clearly known what caused the
accident, it is probable that the small
row boat in which Mr. Felts was cross­
ing struck the cable that ran from the
gravel barge to the shore. The cable,
rising and falling in the water, cap­
sized the boat and threw Mr. Felts in­
to the cold, swift current. He 9iezed
the cable and shouted for help. The
men on the gravel dredge rushed to
their launch, and pift out to help him.
A life preserver thrown him fell just
short and floated away. A rope fell
scarcely an arm ’s length from the
struggling man, as the cold and his eb­
bing strength forced him to loose his
hold. He sank to rise no more. The
body has not been recovered.

We have just received a shipment of the most
beautiful WOOL dress goods that can be obtained in
America. We contracted for these goods long ago,
but could not get them until now. We bought be­
fore the remarkable advance in wool prices and will
sell them at extremely low prices for remarkably
high values. When these goods are sold, it is very
improbable that more like them can be .secured at
any price. Don’t overlook this opportunity.

Mrs. Hurst believes there is no reas­
on why potatoes cannot be used as a
flour substitute, instead of the y resent
high-priced substitutes prescribed by
tte food administration, thus saving
riti immense sum and at the same time
furnishing a way of disposing of the
great potato surplus. 1
Baked or boiled potatoes, mashed
or put through ricer, can be substituted
for one-third the wheat flour In any
standard recipe for tasking wheat
bread, biscuits, pancakes, waffles,
doughtnuts, pie crusts, etc. When po­
tatoes are used, a little less liquid
may be required In the mixing.
The use of potatoes in bread is eco­
nomical at any time. It is patriotic at
this time; it utilizes waste potatoes;
sayes wheat and other grain which
can be exported; saves corn, barley
and oats which can be used to produce
meats and fats for ouri soldiers; gives
ns white, moist and wholesome bread
for every m eal; does hot require ex­
tra work for the housewife, nor change
the usual custom and practices of the
home; means two and one-third wheat­
less days a week, ten ¡wheatless days
a month, four wheatless months a
rear.
Last season the farmers of the
United States produced about 440,000,-
000 bushels of potatoes. About. 100,-
000,000 bushels of this crop were small,
Irregular, unmarketable potatoes.
One hundred million bushels of
small potatoes will save 100,000,000
bushels of wheat. About 80 per cent
of the annual' potato crop in the United
States consists of small potatoes which
are unmarketable, made little use of,
practically wasted, almost a total Toss
to the country. T he'sm all potatoes
can be substituted for one-third the
wheat flour used In making bread. Po­
tato bread is better bread in every
way than bread made entirely of wheat
or a combination of wheat and other
m ln a
Potatoes are grown in evfry section
of the country, found in every home,
are a universal food. Every family
can produce them. Potatoes are an
abundant crop in the-United States;
the possibilities of Increasing the to­
tal yield in this country cannot be
estimated. Potatoes are a perishable
crop—cannot be exported to foreign
countries, cannot be carried over from
one season to another. The potatoes
we grow In this country we must use
at home. The nature of potato starch
is so nearly the same as wheat flour
that there is no difficulty in using this
combination in breqd making.
