"To put the matter bluntly, - the whole world Is up against a nasty thing, fsmlllar to the people of India, called Famine.” It -is a good thing for us to that melancholy statement soak into our consciousness. Then we’ll do what we can, every one of us, to save the World from famine. Some folks say that they are tired of healing about "starvation" and "food shortage," and similar unpleas ant things. they reflect la lit Rhondda's statement, these tired ones (ragsrtd cbhhgrtheftnuntua*.

EAT THIS BIG CROP “Eat more Dotatoeto* With that slogan the Food Admin istration has inaugurated a national campaign to encourage the free mar keting and consumption of potatoes. It has enlisted the cooperation of all agencies of the potato trade, state and local authorities, various organi zations, and the press. During the next few months . tbe great potato crop of America will be moved from producing centers to points of con sumption as rapidly as the public will consume the delectable “spuds.” There are two. great reasons tor do ing ‘this: • (1) American growers in 1917 pro duced a great crop which In large part Is unmarketed on the coming of spring. Bad weather conditions was the cause; but if this crop is not con sumed rapidly and in larger propor tion to other foods than is customary, millions of bushels of potatoes will not be sold before the next harvest Such a calamity could not fall to dis courage potato growers who a year ago responded to the appeal of the country to be patriotic and increase * cd production. (1). By eating plenty of potatoes, Americans can lower materially their consumption of wheat products and thus comply with the urgent request of the Food Administration to cut the national consumption of wheat products by 10%.

When you read about the submarines, doesn't it occur to you that they must be exceptionally powered? And when you sit absorbed in an account of a big motor-car race meet, doesn’t it seem that there is no limit to what a good gasoline engine can do? The engine that gives the airplano the speed and flexibility of a bird; the submarine its wonderful going power; and the racing- car its rush-like speed of the wind, is built on the simplest princi ple of power-application possible. It works just like a hammer hit ting a nail squarely on the head. It is known as the valvc-in-head type of motor. - , - - > The Chevrolet Motor Company uses this type of motor in every one of their cars; that is why the CHEVROLET has such a re markable record, for low upkeep and mechanical efficiency. The whole secret of this wonderful type of motor is told in • new booklet just issued by the Chevrolet Motor Company entitled: "Squarely on the Head.” It's the first real inside story of i the valvc-in-hcnd motor. If you want to know just why such remarkable feats, as yqu read of in your daily newspaper, are possible in the airplane, sub marine, racing-car and CHEVROLET, you can get the whole story by devoting a few really interesting moments to reading this booklet * - ; t ’ ' If you do that you will know also why thousands have found in the CHEVROLET itself the answer to “Why a CHEVROLET?” Ford & Calhoun No Job Too Small For, The Blggsst ‘ Of Men r - The American V.

To an indeterminate number of Red Tri angle men “over there" gaa and shell- Are and mud and actual battle are a grim reality—a part of tbe day** work. A personal letter of absorbing Inter est was lately received from Mr. Ralph Harblson, president of the Pittsburgh T. M. C. A. and a well known business man of that city, who has been In France .on a special Y. ; M. C. A Mis sion. The Letter “Casualties had occurred among our. soldiers lost before we arrived st our Tillage," the letter reads, "and we were ordered to get under cover of oar de suite. After a supper of chocolate, war bcaad, and canned beet, the ilx of us see. rotaries were ordered to the cellar of the 'T,' together with fifty soldiers who happened to be in the old shell-torn building, as the boche were beginning again to shell the town. We took can dles, a big basketful of canteen sup- flies, to last us In case' we should have 0 be dug out later, overcoats and blan kets. We fitted our gas masks on to be sure they were working well, and then settled down—or tried to—In the dungeon. We expected to have to stay nil night, but In an hour a sentry call ed, ‘All out,’ and up we gladly went The rest of the evening we spent ui ■tain in one of the rdbsonably who! rooms, with piano and songs sad sto ries and the ever-present and wonder ful canteen, at which I took my turn. "Needless to say. .1 slept none that night with all the bang and noise out side, bnt nobody does. I’m told, the lint night The night before I got ■boat two hours of dozing with a stiff nock, sitting up in a crowded night train, but strange to any, I never felt the lack of it for a minute. "We were op the next morning at une bonne heure, and after breakfast at the officers’ mess Clarke and started off for-the trenches, each of us ladqned with about fifty pounds of eanteen supplies besides our helmet, gas masks, carried at all times at ■alsrt*,’ etc. "For two hours we pursued a tor tuous way among the various lines of tranches and connecting trenches, stopping frequently to dispense our popular wares among the boys, some repairing the trenches, tome building new ones, some on sentry duty, some sleeping In the dugouts, some man ning guns and watching for German beads. "As we entered the front-line trenches, we suddenly ran lpto Secre tary Daker and accompanying officers. 1 stepped aside ns well as J dould. sa inted and said, ‘Good morning, Mr. Secretary.' Aa they passed 1 heard ono of the officers say to the Socre- tary, ’You see, Mr. Secretary, the *’Y’’ men are right up in the front-line trenches with the boye.’ "Time was flying, and wo knew there were still more soldiers farther on who would be glad to seo us. Soon we r ntered ‘No Man's Land’ by means of a ’tench, a land which we had aeon from the rear lines ini the dis tance an hour earlier, all uprooted nn.1 lorn and desolate, and after some min utes we crawled, hot and winded, Into ■’shell holo—the fuithormost listening- poet in our lines — and found six sol diers on tuard, all very much alert. They gave us a warm welcome, and wc conducted our communications in low whlrpera. for there were three German snipers In three different di rections only seventy-five feet away. “Needless to any, our gunnysacks were empty when-tie came out We hurried back to the sign of the Red Triangle In the village, drank a cap of hbt chocolate, aad started In again in another direction. “We watched the explosions getting closer and closer, each cnc preceded by the wOlrdest kind of a wall and whine through the air, and then dor- log a let-up we rushed across tbe open and Into tbe dngouts In an embank ment, wbere our second pack of. aap- pllas disappeared. "Two of the secretaries bad been gassed the day before wo arrived at this place, and one slightly wounded by shrapnel, while others were break ing under the physical strain and need ed relief. I’m sure we will hear of fatalities soon, bnt since my expert-, once In the trenches I don't oak the question any more — 'Is it worth while?’ Never was such an opportun ity given to man to serve his fellow- men aa this.

Nearly 167,000 Nei »w in tl Next to the aggregate number of subscribers perhaps the most striking feature of the Third Liberty Loan was the support given it by the farm ing and rural populations of the coun try, according to n statement by the Treasury Department. Not only did the farmers purchase liberally of the bonds, but the rural communities as a rule were more prompt in complet ing their quotas of the loan than the larger cities. More than 20,000 communities in the United States sub scribed or oversubscribed their quotas, many of them on the first day of the campaign. ’ The majority of these were not cities, but country districts. Germany has found out that the “will to win.the war” isn’t monopo lized by the military mosters of the Central Powers, anyway! Life Was a Misery Mrs. F. M.
