Potatoes and Patriotism Our supreme patriotic duty today housewife to serve potatoes. IS YOUR LOT CLEAN? Organization Leaders to Appeal to Villagers to Remove Refuse A second appeal has gone out to every resident of Winnetka to assist in giving the Village a thorough Spring Tkis time the Village Improve- ment association, th: Council and the Woman's club unite in an appeal for the co-operation of the Villagers removing dump heaps and rubbish piles from vacant lots and back yards. The appeal, which will be sent to every taxpayer, is in essence as follows: At this season of the year when no snow covers unsightly rubbish and the foliage is still too undeveloped to be a screen to hide the dump heaps, the un- attractive appcjrance of our village, in dire need of a muni- cipal housecleaning, is brought to the attention of the most unobserving. .It is plain to be seen in the early Spring we can no longer rely upon Nature to "clean-up". in at a + 3 a ctics , . tatoes are to be put into practically) oe manure or other decaying ma every dish that comes on the table. | terial which would furnish them with | Mashed potatoes takes the place of | I I | the flaky crust of the meat pie.

There is foundation in fact for the injunction to eat potatoes. Their starch .may replace a portion of the bread which is normally consumed. They do lend themselves to a variety of uses which extents their attrac- tiveness thany times. over that of any other vegetable. They are to be | had from nearby sources and so ob- viate the long haul which puts such stress upon our crippled and strained | | transportation facilities. But these are all virtues which the | to breed flies. potato possessed all during the win- ter. been no new ways of preparing them "for the table developed; no new methods of substituting them for wheat flour have been devised. There is evidently quite another reason for the hue and cry about the potato, a reason which is suggested in the an- nouncement that there are millions of bushels of potatoes in Wisconsin alone which will be wasted unless there is created a sufficient demand for them before the new crop comes into the market. It is these millions of bushels which tell the tale of holding back from the market the supply which should have been kept constant all winter, but was deliberately withheld because a store would have too abundant meant a lowered price. This points to a manipulation which is, from the business point of view, legitimate in normal times, but, when the country is at war, it becomes as reprehensible as any other form of hoarding. The patriotic portion of the public will not, of course, be influenced by the fact that the present agitation in favor of the use of the potato reacts to the immediate benefit of the hoar- der and so serves to encourage a re- sumption of his tactics in another season. But the public is not even mainly patriotic to this extent and those who can afford to pay the price for the new potatoes imported from the south will fail to respond in any large measure to the recommenda- tion of the Food Administration that the new potato be shunned and the whole attention of the housewife be given to the using of the old potato in every way and upon every possible occasion. §--$--$--§--$--8--8$--$--8 .

PRESENT ONE-ACT PLAYS FOR BARLOW-BROWN AID One of the largest social events of the season will be the benefit per- formance to be given at the Winnet- ka Woman's club on Wednesday evening, May 8. The Kenilworth Players of Kenilworth, under the management of Mrs. John Nash Ott, and the direction of Oliver Hinsdell, will present three one-act plays, entitled "The Florist Shop", "Lone- somelike" and "The Latest Cure for Insanity". The proceeds will be de- voted to the fund for Dr. Alice Bar- low-Brown and the War fund of the Winnetka Woman's club.

Every public-spirited citizen, after cleaning up his own back yard, should help to clean up the vacant property in his neigh- borhood. ..People in every locality are familiar with the dump heaps which appear over night on vacant property by means of some unknown agency. In the days when Winnetka had no dump heap of its own, there might be some excuse for such shiftlessness, but now with free refuse disposal, and an Z official dump on West Willow = street, there isn't the slightest shadow of extenuating circumstance for the committ- ing of such a nuisance. While we undoubtedly will continue to have a few of such con- scienceless householders, and it is' hoped that there will be some remedy applied to their conduct; this appeal is to the great body of loyal and public spirited citizens, who though in no wise responsible for these conditions will do their part in our - municipal housecleaning which aims to make the village not only sanitary but beautiful as well. If you have vacant lots in your neighborhood that have been used as dumps get the neighbors together and ar- range for the removal of this refuse. Make your municipal housecleaning as thorough as that in your own back yard. We are all interested. Village Improvement Associa- tion, Village Council, and Win- netka Woman's Club.

Enjoy Island Life | | | | Earl d'Arcy Pens Letter to Local Draft Board, expressing Appreciation | North shore boys who, two weeks | ago, left for ' Portland, Maine, to enter the service in the United | States Coast Artillery and Defense, are enjoying life at Fort McKinley, | Htuated on an island three miles | from the main land just off shore | from Portland. Earl d'Arcy, a Wilmette boy in the contingent, recently penned a laconic note to the members of the local draft board in which heexpressed the sentiments of the fellow members of the group. It reads: Fort McKinley, Portland, Me. | Mr. Pope. Dear Sir:-- We arrived safely this morning on a little island about three miles out of Portland and we all think it is grand. We had a fine trip and en- joyed it very much, Yours truly, Earl d,Arcy. Safe and Lend The very best friend that you own Is coming today or tomorrow, To ask for a bit of a loan Of all you can gather and borrow. You know what he's wanting it for; You aren't too fond of the Kaiser; You know he'll repay it and more-- So lend it, and don't be a miser! Your friend is your Uncle Sam, Who saves you from being a martyr; You know he's as mild as a lamb, 3ut when he must fight, he's a Tartar! There's billions that have to be spent To make him a two-fisted hitter; You know he'll return every cent-- Then aid him, don't be a quitter! Oh, buy every bond that you can! Don't question and haggle and palter Your Uncle's a generous man, And safe as the Rock of Gibraltar. He's asking no more than his due; He needs every soul for his backer; He's working and fighting for you-- Then help him, and don't be a slacker! Arthur Guiterman, in Life.
