SHOULD USE PERISHABLE FOODS FIRST
(IW United Statea Cable)
WASHINGTON, July fj.—Herbert Hoover has issued
a bulletin asking people to use all of the vegetables and
perishable foods available where they are produced in
preference to non-perishable staples. He says:
“The primary aim is to see that the people of this
country eat a sufficient quantity of food, but not an excess,
and that they stop waste. It is also to reduce the consump
tion of staples so that a large amount may be set free for
export to the allies.
“We wish to urge in particular the free use of vege
tables and perishable foods where they are produced, to
encourage the preservation of perishable and semi-perish
able fruits, vegetables, and other foods, to substitute other
corals to a large extent for wheat, and to reduce materially
the consumption of meat.”
TANKER LOSES
IN SUB DUEL
Crew Takes to Boats in the Midst
of Blazing Oil—Four Lives
Lost.
WASHINGTON, June 15, (By Mail)
—The American tank steamer Moreni,
4,045 tons gross, owned by the Stand
ard Oil, was sunk by a German sub
marine, near Gibraltar, June 12, after
a running fight of two hours. Four of
the crew lost their lives.
The story is told in this statement,
by the state department.
“The vessel was fired upon first
f>om an estimated distance of 8,000
yards at 4 o’clock. The steamer, which
was armed and carried a gun crow,
returned the shots and attempted to
escape. There was a light breeze and
smooth sea. The submarine was hard
ly visible. After 150 shots in reply to
some 200 shots fired by the submarine,
the crew abandoned the vessel, which
was all ablaze, taking to the lifeboats
in a fiery sea.
“An officer, Edward Cunningham, of
Brooklyn, was drowned while escaping
to a boat. Wireless Operator G. Cur
ran, jr., of New York, died of heart
failure in the lifeboat and one seaman,
E. Moustner, was injured by gunfire
and died in a lifeboat. Fireman A.
Geeisen also died of wounds. These
last year were treated by the surgeon
of the submarine.
“The German submarine captain
congratulated the American captain
upon the splendid fight he had made.
Half an hour after the vessel was
sunk the crew was picked up by a
passing steamer. Forty-three of the
crew of forty-seven were landed. Six
of these were slightly hurt and placed
in a hospital. All the gunners were
saved.”

BETTER THAN
PROSPECTING
Potatoes Over $100.00 Per Ton Offer
Fine Chance to Develop Hip
Pay Streak
JUNEAU.—One of the most extra
ordinary results of the war is that the
world-famed gold paystreaks of the
Klondyke have sunk into insignificance
beside the potato paystreaks which are
now being developed in that district,
in a letter to his daughter in Juneau
nom Dawson City, Rev. F. L. Forbes
states that potatoes are now selling
there for one hundred and twenty dol
lars a ton. Chicken Billie, a rancher
of the neighborhood, has taken out a
spud “ciump” which he has stored in
his bins and which have a total value
of four thousand dollars, or more than
could be taken by ordinary placer
methods from any claim in the dis
trict in an equal period or with an
equal amount of labor. Mr. Forbes is
making a trip down the Yukon.—Dis
patch.
Potatoes are selling around $110 per
ton here, and if you want new pota
toes the present price is somewhere
about $1G0 per ton
It is time this fall to get ground in
shape for a record breaking crop next
year. Better do that than go pros
pecting.
