And what we want to do is to advise you that you should
buy them at the earliest possible moment, for uot only are
the clothes going to be higher in prices, but the quality will
not be the same when the new clothes are received from the
manufacturers.
THIS IB WHY WB ADVISE YOU HOW
It is because we are well supplied with the old 'piality cloth-
es, shoes, underwear, shirt*. blouses, in fact everything that
Boys and (Jirls wear, (to to your regular shopping store ami
see what they have on hand, the Manufacturers themselves
pannot get the materials from Mills, therefore cannot supply
the stores with the goods bought for this coming season.
WB PRXPA&BD FOR EVENTUALITY
Ami the Panhandle people will later ou thank is for having
had such foresight, for we have the obi standard tputhn
goods to offer you only, no substitutes of any kind, and the

ht 1848 millions of mam* wom-
an and children immigrated
from Ireland to America because
of the famine, caused by a fail-
are of the potato crop and unfor-
tunate economic conditions in
the Green lale.
Wa have ia Texaa today 2.0M,-
000 peundg, or fifty carloads, of
potatoea that are rotting, whan
Belgians starve.
The French speak of the po-
tato aa "The Apple of the
Earth," and the French hold a
view toward their fruit trees
and their garden plants which
should be the proper relation-
ship between man and the fine
things which nature has blessed
him with. A potato is not some-
thing to be cast aside because it
is abundant; but a fine, splen-
did, God-given ration, and al-
ways regarded as such.
We have in Texaa today 2,000,-
000 pounda, or fifty carioada, of
potatoes that era rotting, when
French women and children
atarve.
"We don't like to think of the
Kaiser setting the pace," says
Administrator Peden," but after
the Byng drive against Cambrai
he found time to issue a medal
commemorating the bringing of
the potato from America to Eu-
rope.
"I want the jobber to play up
his potatoes; I want the retailer
to make potatoes his lead for the
next month. I want the hotels
and restaurants to put the po-
tato on their menus at the small-
est margin of profit, and I want
every patriotic household to
make a potato serve where for-
merly a slice of bread was used.
We must not waste our abund-
ance. It would be unpardonable
when France, England, Italy and
Belgium are in need."
"We have in Texas today
2,000,000 pounds, or fifty car-
loads. of potatoea that are rot-
ting, when England, Italy, Bel-
gium and France are even cut-
ting down their ration of bread
for the men who stand between
America and despotism."
I will welcome letters from
every man, woman and child in
Texas who will promise to eat
hereafter a potato instead of a
slice of bread; and the citizen
who will do this in the name of
Freedom need no honor roll—
their name is already there in-
scribed. E. A. PEDEN.

Potatoes are nourishing, pal-
atable and well liked by ail of us.
The more we eat the more wheat
we can ship to the soldiers on
the front and the famishing peo-
ple of the Allies.—Peden.
Several hotels and restaurants
hi London have adopted the plan
of giving baked potatoes free
with each meal, provided no
bread is served the customer.
The Texas division of the United
States Food Administration has
ted that this plan be tried
tela, restaurants and public
eating houses in Texas as a
wheat conaervatioa measure.—
There arc two distinct clauses of
wheat producers la Texas- those ta

have been In the habit of raising wheat
for commercial purposes, aad those ia

more farmers in a position to produce

"it is the policy of the Food Admin-
istration. state* Administrator Peden.
to have all farmers, wherever possi-
ble. plant sufficient wheat for their
own consumption and those dependent
upon them. It there is any other Ua-
pressioa it should tie corrected at
ones
"The public nay rest aesnred that
the United Statee Food Administration
win ao everything It possibly caa tar
the farmer producing wheat for home
■ ot.-i.uil""-n. and the only reason they
v.. re restricted in the use of wheat las!
ear was that K.e crop was no short
that it was absolutely necessary to get
every grain of wheat to the mills in
order that this government could take
care of the obligations in the army,
navv and allied countries.
"Because of the fact that there would
be a considerable waate aad spoilage
