SPUDS UTILIZED
AS PENWIPERS
Hotels Over Country Con
sume Vast Quantities of
Them for This Purpose.
That close to a, million dollars worth
of the niticn's best Irish potato crop
r.ever sees the inside of a human stom
ach is a unique fact attested by a pe
culiar condition existing among Char
lotte hotels, as well as hotels all over
the country.
The majority of Charlotte hotei3 vse
close to a dozea Irish potatoes a week
for pen wirfrs. These potatoes are us
ually the largest and "best looking"
spuds in the week's collection. Two of
them are placed in small retainers by
the register in each hotel that uses
them, and into t?.e poor innocent vege-
table goes the dripping pen of the au-
tographer hundreas of times each day
and night. Each time a black stain of
ink is left into the weak tummy of the
chagrined spud and the pen emerges as
clean aa the insides of the pocket book
of. the average shopper after the Christ
mas holidays. As soon as the back of
Mr. Spud is punctured beyond all re
pair he is turned over on his side and
speared in that part of his anatomy".
As) soon as his eyes have been ja:n:red
cut he is considered a "has teen' arid is
given a sad funeral in the ash can.
And possibly he isn't buried at all.
Perhaps he wiggles his, way back td his
comrades by son e accident .and lends
coloring to a sizzling bowl of egetalle
soup. Who can say that he has not
devoured the very ink with which some
telebrity signed l is name? Possibly
some day in the past your , soup was
saturated with the signature of WJpod
iow Wilson. Or it might have been
Edison, Kipling, Pershing any of the
famed boys. Wha an honor it would
be to have consumed such great ink.
While cooling a bowl of broth, who can
say that he has not blown into a spoon
ful of stew in which swam the very
fluid witn which J. P, Morgan signed a
check for half a million bones?
What volumes of interest could be
written if every spud could teil its tale!
And what a feeling of honor must come
to the potato that finds himself in the
pen rack instead of the chef s dishpan!
What matters if one is stabbed to the
gills as long: as he is speared by Mar
shal Foch, the Tiger of France, or
Lloyd George, the premier of England?
It is estimated that during the war
the big potatoe;! averaged about six
cents a piece. At this rate practically
four dollars a month .was expended, by
each hotel for martyred spuds. Assum
ing that $16 a month was expended for
such pen wipers alone in Charlotte,
which is in the neighborhood of truth,
tho annual expenditure would be about
S200 :i year. With such expense in
curred by hotels throughout the entire
country that ao maltreat Mr. Spud, the
f nal total of costs for this vegetable,
which is not put on the account book,
would probably reach into the millions.
It 'may be hard to squeeze blood out ot
a turnip, but it in safe to say that it is
an easy matter to squeeze ink out of
many a'potato.
FIRST METHODIST PROTESTANT.
Sunday morning the pastor of the
First Methodist Protestant church will
preach from the subject, "The Coming
of The King.". Beginning at 7:30 p. m.,
the beautiful Christmas program,
"Training For Service," will be ren
