R N e = P, PLEDGE YOUR YEAR A. W. Aamodt, county agricul- tural agent, has given to'the Pioneer an- article on the making of potato flour in the home, which should be ‘of- interest to many people in Bel- trami county. It is am inexpensive method and the flour can be used in nearly all kinds of baking. The ar- ticle is as follows: The amouinit of potatoes used to a very great extent measures -the patriotism that an American citizen may have. We are now confronting with a very large surplus of pota- toes which is very apt to become a gliit on the market. The car short- age and the fact that it is a bulky product makes it a_very hard com- modity to move rapidly, neither can it be moved to a distant market. It is for that reason that all bread- makers who use potatoes freely in making bread are performing a great patriotic duty toward conserving the nation’s wheat supply. ‘When making potato flour in the home one can use all the small po- tatoes which are fairly smooth and Jarge enough so that the peeling can be readily removed or the larger po- tatoes may be used if necessary ra- ther than allow them to be wasted on account of the lack of market. When' making dried riced pota- toes one should first wash the pota- toes thoroughly. and boil them until they are tender. Second. drain off water and re- move peelings. Third, press through a potato 'ricer or a screen or other container, the ‘| describe developments. .+ (By United Press) With the British. in Flanders, { April 29.—The French in the Kem- mel region were heavily shelled all of last night.

Do not put the potdtoes on too thick. Fourth, dry in¥a ;slow oven three or four hours or uhtil the entire mass is perfectly -crisp. ‘When thoroughly dry, the product may. be packed in tin or glass con- tainers and kept indefinitely. Dried riced potatoes have many uses, such as for making mashed po- tatoes or potato cakes by ‘soaking them up in three times its volume of boiling milk or water and season- ing to taste, or they can be readily made into flour by grinding the flour used as a partial substitute for wheat flour, in making bread. The home made flour is prepared by running the riced potato through a coffee mill, or any sort of a small mill that will grind it to @ meal or flour. If no grinder is at hand, a rolling pin and board may be used. This potato flour may be stored in tin or glass containers or may be used up as in bread making, twenty per cent of the wheat flour may be replaced by this potato flour. The loaf that results will be lower than a loaf made entirely of wheat flour but the flavor is rich and the bread nutritious. This method of making flour bread is followed by replacing up to one-fifth of the guantity of wheat flonr. In this case it is necessary to add somewhat more liquid than is required in making bread entirely of wheat flour. The loaf will not rise, quite so high as one made from (Continued on Page Four) e e e e RIE YOUR MONEY AND MAKE THE LIGHT - - For Germany (By United Press) Washington, April 29.—Germany will send an ultimatum” to Russia demanding that Russia release all healthy German prisoners and keep all invalid Germans.

Testifying regarding statements made on the stand by cne of the de- fendants, C. Merrill Rogers, who was the paper’s business manzger, Creel said that he told Rogers relative to the Jjune, 1977, issue that trere was no law which gave him the authority to pass on the contents; that it wos for the department of inctice to de- termine whether its character was objeciionable. Some months before America cn- tered the war, Creel said, he himself had contributed an article to The Masses. Because of his acquaintance with Max Eastman, former editor of The Masses, and one of the defend- ants, and ‘because he held him and the.-other editors in high -regard, Creel said he had been anxious to have them assume a proper attitude toward America’s war program. As the witness passed the table where the defendants were sitting, Max Eastman rose and shook hands with Creel and the two walked to the door, where they talked for a few minutes before Creel departed.
