Boys at Camp Cody Follow
Series Scores on Electric
Scoreboard.

Camp Cody, Deming, N. NJ, Oct. II.
-.,M~innesotans in camp are following
tho world baseball series as closely as
are their fellows back at Fort SHELL
Ing. An electric score board has been
erected here and the men gather
around it and follow the plays with
just as much or more interest as do
the boys back home.
The camp is still troubled over its
economics. The placing of a 5 cent toll
on every message between Deming and
Camp Cody by the telephone company,
to go into effect x week, is not
popular. There is talk Of using order
lies for all communications.
There is also continued complaint
that ONE of the merchants of Dem
ing are pushing prices beyond the
reasonable limit. The camp may re-
taliate by posting a list Of merchants
who ~overcharge.
The new base hospital liz practically
complete. and Lieutenant Colonel r.

SPY DIRECTOR

DR.. Albert, After Reported
Dropping Millions in Spec

New York, Oct. 11.-Money a
trusted to Dr.. Heinrich Albert. former
imperial German privy chancellor, for
the payment Of German spies and 9TH
er propagandists in this country, is
said. to have been gambled away in
speculation In New York and Chicago.
DR.. Albert, who, with Count Won
Barnstorn, directed Germany's D

the handling of $50, 900, 900. With
this fund he was expected to place
spies. buy newspapers, lecturers and
other molders of public opinion and
prevent the shipment OF munitions to
the allies. 4.

The answer IL that we should not
only feed corn but should eat corn.
sByFeating more corn and less wheat
we will:
Save money!
Benefit our health!
Help win the war!
Corn meal, even at the present I'M
p~recedented prices, is the cheapest
food, nutritive values considered,
found in a government survey Of SO
fopd staples.
There Is twice as much nutrittve
value in q dollars worth of corn
meal, at prevailing prices, as in a
dollars worth Of wheat bread. In
fact. the same nutriment contained
in dollars worth Of bread can be
had in corn meal for just 47.4 n
BY substituting corn bread, corn
cakes, corn mullins or fried mush
Tor wheat bread, at least once each
day, the housewives of America could
perform one Of the greatest works
OF the q With absolutely no hard
ship but, instead, with actual beneht
to ourselves, we would release more
than 100, 000,0 900 bushels Of additional
wheat to our allies, who despite all
that we can other wise do to supply
their requirements for breadstuffs.
. H1uSL 0Ai5L ol u 46iuA NASs
But why, some ask, should we not
eat the wheat ourselves and send the
corn abroad?
In France, England and Belgium
virtually all baking is done in public
baEeshops. Corn bread Is essentially
!. a home product; it cannot a~ccetpably
be prepared and sold over the
bakers counter. 1t would be
impossible, in the midst Of war, to
make over the home baking facilities
Of these nations. We must adjust
our supplies to meet their facilities
for proper handling.
Then, too, because of its additional
richness, corn meal does not keep
as we'll as flour and is not as suitable
for overseas export. At home We con-
sumo The meal as it is produced. Corn
meal sent to Europe would deteriorate
\ and grow rancid, while wheat flour
keeps.
Upon the success Of our substitu-
ton of corn meal for flour will de-
pend very largely the question of
whether the United States is to meet
the. first essential demand upon hcr
by her allies-which Is a demand
that we provide them with sufficient
food so they nay continue the aght.

His retirement the virtual
end of opposition to CONSUMPTION.
For a quarter of a century Sir
Wilfrid was the leader of the Liberal
party. He carried election after cleo
ton and dominated Dominion policies
and politics. For Is years, 1%S96-1911,
he was premier, the practical ruler of
Canada. Then he was acclaimed the
one colonial statesman of interna-
tional significance anywhere in the
world. He taught the Dominion to
think nationally, to look upon Canada
less as a dependency than as a sister
nation with other dominions forming
a great empire.
He won for Canada a real treaty
making power. Independent of the
government in London.

the tragedy of the city is that it sep

McNutt has made numerous interest

a unique garden which he planted and
cultivated while a resident of Val

The garden was one of the show
spots of the city. Only 40 by 80 feet,
it was made to produce over $50 worth
of foodstuffs and at the same time be
a thing of beauty. This was done by
constant interplanting, preserving Il
continuous growth of vigorous greens.
The aesthetics were secured by
screening an ugly alley and some tum-
bledown fences and barns by three
rows of sunfowers along two sides of
the garden. AS the picture shows,
these attained to almost the stature of
trees, being nearly sixteen feet high
At the same time these served as poles
for Kentucky Wonder beans.
