Tbe fîre brigade of Orono was calied and were there in ten minutes. They put tbe fîre out but tbere is smoke and water damage to tbat room, of course. Tbey believe it was caused by the dryer althougb it was flot in operation. Tbe f ire brigade deserve coni- mendation for tbeir speed. The experts tell us potatoes do flot make you fat. It's tbe butter or gravy you put on them that puts on the pounds. Potatoes are one of our cheapest foods, buy theni by tbe bushel from tbe growers now, at rock bottom prices. Tben boil tbem or roast tbem. Boil tbem for ten minutes tben put tbem in tbe oven and roast tbem. Make a eut in tbe bot roasted potato and put a piece of cheddar cbeese in it on eaeb plate, aiways leave tbe skins on. Last year we bougbt six busbel from Mr. Reg Eliiott and neyer had one bad potato. Tbe iast ones were as firm and good as tbe first.
