People hu_we. in' the meantime been educated “to cut tlfe high cost of living, by eating fewer potatoes during the time they were being sold for $5.00 ang 36.20 a . bushel, and now that they are almost 'a “‘drg” on the market folks have become acustomed to eating . substitutes and mneed to bé re-educated to eating «gpuds,”. as of old. - ; molrne th: spr,ing farmers were urged. to plant pota- toes, here as well as all over the Umte’d States. It Jooked like a good “bet” and th?y did. In 1:n0§t potato growing regions crops were go'od. Thls is especially true of Northern Minnesota, but right now the market is low. Too lowin fact to make i to sell potatoesi v i & m’f‘fi least ipfaiiner should get for a Ifu:hel of good potatoes is $1. They are an economnf:ll food at this price. If town folk in Northern Minnesota have not yet purchased their winter’s supply, they should do so now, and be willing to pay a dollar for good winter keeping spuds. 2 Thete is'no product today from which you, can obtain so- much- palatable food value as potatoes - &t $1 per bushel, and you should not hesitate to fl-y it. It is admitted that they are worth it and it is also necessary to the man who grows ‘hem that he should get that much. The biégest asset Northern®Minnesota has today (bar none) is the potato Farmer. He is a true asset in every sense of the word. He causes more dollars to “roll” into this section than is “rolled” _in from any other source.. He has been encouraged . to grow potatoes. Now that he has grown them every effort should be made to secure for him a profitable market. If we are eating fewer potatoes than we formerly did, it is our duty to eat more.

Youwll find that that’s exactly what it -will do, “ cut the H."C. L. It is not only a.palatable food, + but a food which helps save the present waste of greases in ‘meats.” Meat served without ‘potatoes means_a waste of oils and greases, ‘which. is made into gravy, only when served with potatoes. The rore potatoes you eat the less you'll eat of other foods, and.when' you can buy sound, -smooth, scabless, mealy potatoes grown in Northern Min- ; n‘mta (the natural potato growing country), for $1 per bushel, you’re a “chump” if you don’t stock your cellar to the limit and eat “spuds” thxjée times a‘day and for lunch at night before you-go to bed. Next year you will expect the farmers to grow . more potatoes. They haié already established "an " ‘enviable record as potato growers and have made Northern Minnesota the recognized belt for the - best spuds in the world. Let us do what we can to hold . this ‘established reputation; by not omly eating all the “‘spuds’> we can, but by urging others to ‘do the same. ‘Make it a state wide, yes, natjpn “‘wide. campaign' ,s0 ‘that the healthy, ‘mealy, body " building, Northern Minensota grown: potafo will be * in demand to the four corners of the globe. —_ % FILLED WITH WISDOM. It is refreshing, in the midst of the onward rush of today for wealth, even at the expense of national ideals, to find a nationally prominent business man who has the courage to ‘“speak right out in meet- ing,” and as a warning voice in a wilderness, tell X “his fellow men what he honestly believes is neces- sary to ward ‘off the crash that inevitably will come if present greed and selfishriess-is not checked. Roger W. Babson, who has made a life study of economic problems and has gathered innumerable results in the form of statistics from many lines ' ‘of industry, bg"ought about I?y different methods of 3 operation, says -this: . “It seems to me that the only cure, the only thing that will stave off.the crash, will be some sort of religious revival that will get men into a different - point of view. We must have something that will make men substitute faith for fear, production for selfishness; something whereby our minds may be * focused upon making things instead of upon a di- vision of things. The great need of.the hour is " more religion, more emphasis on service, more on making rather than on purchasing, more on being < rather than on simply getting by. “Some time ago I put-a question to the president of Argentina, as to why South America is back- - “ward as compared with North America, although settled rst. He answered: ‘South. America was settled first. He answered: ‘South America was gold, with only a vision of gold; but North America was settled by the Pilgrim fathers, .who came with a vision of God and a desire to serve him.’ Let us not kick down the ladder by which we have climbed up.” o, e The perspiration from an average person is said to'be 2% pounds daily.
