This is the question that the Food Administration is asking of every per son in South Carolina. Hapsburg Liebs says that the home ly Irish potato has cut, is cutting and will continue to cut almost as great a figure in this world war as the sub marine. In Germany, it is said, potatoes have been planted even between tle ties of railroad tracks. Potatoes have kept the people of Germany alive. Probably Germany wonld have caved in oxcept for the potato. The argumient is put forth by the Food Administration that if the po tato will work for Germany, it will likewise work against Germany; and considering that food will win the war, there Is n oarticle of food that may be prer".red in so many ways t.s the potato llaiptist .
