Eat Potatoes Now and Save Wheat for Troops
Wartime call urges Ohio residents over six to eat three extra potatoes daily and cut bread by three slices to move surplus. If 5 million people participate, potato consumption would rise by over 3.28 million pounds daily and bread savings reach 1.25 million loaves. Potatoes spoil if unused and waste would hurt farmers and future supply.

Defenseless Mennonite Church Members Support Third Liberty Loan
Defenseless Mennonite church members in Wauseon Ohio commit to full financial support for the Third Liberty Loan through representatives of the War Loan committee of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. Religious scruples prevent bond purchases for war, but the plan allows co operation with the community and national proceeds. The effort receives church and national sanction and aims to be widely adopted. Also noted is Dr. O C Standish being approved for Y M C A war work and six local men leaving for military service in the May 1918 mobilization with assignments to Camp Green Leaf and related postings.
