CONSERVE WHEAT.
We must conserve wheat. We
have already exported the whole of
the surplus of the 1917 harvest, over
and above the normal demands of
our population. Therefore, all ex
ports'of wheat from now iorwara
are limited entirely to the saving
made by the American people in
their consumption of wheat and
wheat products.
) The United States Food Admin'
istration is planning a consistent
campaign to increase the use of Irish
potatoes. Grocers will be urged
to inaugurate a "potato day" each
week, selecting whatever day is slack
in deliveries and making a special
for potatoes delievered on that day.
Housewives will be asked to buy
potatoes, a week's supply, on each
potato day. The Administration!
wishes to place the Irish potato every
day itt\the year on every table in
America.
The Food Administration declares
that it is necessary right now as a
war measure for everybody to eat
potatoes and also to purchase them
' in fairly regular quantities week by
week, so that distribution will be
equal everywhere for the next five
nv ;* months, relivine railroad con
gestion and enabling grower^ and
distributors to handle; potatoes at
the most reasonable prices and to
furnish encouragement for product
tion of a larger crop this spring.
The Department of Agriculture
is working to improve potato growing
methods and to increase our
crops. The cooperation of the consumer
and the grocer are needed
more now than ever before. Every
'American family is urged to buy
and to eat potatoes freely through
the ftinter and into the summer. Hotels
and restaurants are being asked
to serve potatoes liberally.
Cooperating with the Department
of Agriculture, the Food Administration
has taken definite * measures
to stabilize the potato industry, both
as to production and as to distribution.
Standard grades and the system
of sale by the hundredweight
basis have already been introduced.
The potato today is plentiful,
V cheap and the best substitute for
food staples we are being asked to
save for the Allies, the Army and
the Navy. It furnishes nourishment
balk, mineral salts and a corrective
alkalinity in the diet.
Germany plants more than twice
as many potatoes as the United
States. Germany gets more than
twice as many bushels per acre, and
e?ta three times- as manv DOta
toes. Germany's wise use of potatoes
helps her to hold out against
the Allies.
If we are going to win this war
we must fight Germany man for
man; she! If or shell; potato for po*
tato. The Food Administn. lion declares
we raise too few potatoes on
too great an acreage. If our yielu3
per acre was as great as Germany's
the State of New York alone, or
Michigan, or Wisconsin, or Minnesota,
might raise all the potatoes we
eat We eat too few potatoes because
the quality is not good. We
speculate in potatoes from year to
year?farmer, jobber, retailer, everybody.
That makes fluctuation in
price, for which we dearly pay.
"HUMAN HEARTS."
"Human Hearts" with many seasons
of success to its credit, will be
the attraction for the Opera House,
Jan. 23, 1918, and will eive seekers i
after popular amusement an opportunity
to laugh, and cry and applaud
the many pathetic and laughable
scenes of the grand old play. The
scene of Tom Logan's cross roads
blacksmith shop, the interior of the
Little Rock, Arkansas, prison, and
the cottage on the - Logan Farm
with its bush of rose3 at the corner
are all pretty stage pictures and
will be produced in an exeellcnt
manner. The company 'that is
playing the piece this season is said
to be the best seen in it for several
seasons and much more cortt^Jy has
been added to it, giving it more
light and shade than heretofore, a
bright comedy vein running through
the piece from first to last.

WELLS FARGO VET
PASSES TIP ALONG
"GET TANLAC," A FRIEND TOLD
ME, SAYS PALMER.
For 28 years, more than a quarter
of a century, F. E. Palmer of No.
7, Elizabeth St., Binghampton, N.
Y., has been a valued employee of
the Wells Fargo Express Company,
and a man with a record like that
has of course, proved his ability
and integrity beyond question.
This is the sort of man whose endorsement
is worth a great deal and
it is a matter of pride that men of
this calibre endorse Tanlac.
"I feel just like a good friend
felt for me?I want to help the
other fellow who may be suffering,"
Mr. Palmer said, and that is the
spirit which moves such men and women.
They want others to share
their good fortune.
"For the last six years I have felt
myself slipping from the path of
health," he continued. "Indigestion
and catarrh had attacked me. - My
appetite became poor, my food did
not taste right and I would suffer
after eating. I grew nervous and
was getting run down. I, did not!
feel well and would gfet up feeling
achy and dull. ( knew it would not
do for me to keep on that way.
'Get Tanlac,' a friend told me, and
I took his tip. Now I am a different
man, I don't have to fight off
worries and little ills. I am entire<
ly well of my troubles. I don't feel
any more indigestion and my catarrh
has disappeared. I can eat
anything without fear of it hurting
me. My sleep could not'be better.
Tazilac has done the work for me
and I give my statement . now to
others. Get on the Tanlac Special
and start for Wellville, I tell them.?'
For themselves, the well known
men and women who endorse Tanlac
would not talk, > but the bond ; of
sympathy between such people is
strong. Once relieved themselves,
the:?' want others to know of this
new reconstructive, system purifier
and stomach tonic which, because
of :its recprd, is called the Master
Medicine. /' . '>

YOUNG FROM YOUNGTOWN.
/ _____
Mr. J. A. Young, of the Troy section
of McCormick County, was in
the city on Wednesday. Efce called
on the Press and Banner people, and
told us that the bad weather extended
as far as his section and
that people were having a hard tfme
keeping warm. He is a son of the
late Samuel Young, of his section,
and is busy seeing that the Young
generation keeps on the map. He
is the father of eleven children himself,
while his brother, S. T. Young,
is the father of twelve, and his sister
who married Mr. A. W^ Young,
has ten. In a few years you will be
able to find old Youngs, young
Youngs, middle-aged Youngs, and
any other kfnd of a Young you are
looking for if the Lord-continues to
bless these good people.
Four of Mr.. Young's neighbors
sent in their subscriptions to The
Press and Banner by him. They
are starting the new year right by
preparing to keep up with the. country.
ANNUAL REPORT T
STATE WAREHOUSE
In the annual report prepared by
W. (J. Smith, State warehouse commissioner,
it is shown that the department
was operated during the
year just closed at a total cost of
$9,992.51, which leaves a balance
from the appropriation of $7.49. The
warehouse system now ha3 cash and
accrued storage more then $10,
000.
There are 204 warehouses in the
system and Mr. Smith makes a number
of recommendations for the development
of the plan to its highest
stage of usefulness. Grading and
stapling has been one of the chief
efforts of Mr. Smith and no part he
had in the war last year meant more
to the success of the system than the
public grading feature. Growing of
big boll cotton generally is recommended
and the organization of marketing
associations among the farmers
is suggested.?Th? State.
