What Do You Think OF 1t?

The National Association of White
Corn Millers is sending out big posters
ir an endeavo9 to arouse the public to
the food situation. We reprint below a
part OF one of those:
THE PEOPLE WANT FOOD---NOT
WHISKEY
The prices of Beef, Pork and Milk
are directly dependent upon the price
o. corn. And the price of corn is con-
trolled by tn, inflated prospective price
at which the L. s. Government is expect
{ to buy all the whiskey in the country.
High priced corn means higher priced
meat. or no meat at all for many people.
High priced corn means higher priced
milk or worse---a milk fam ;ne-whch
means intense suffering or death to
thousands of babies. Even now dairy
men in adjoining states are disposing of
their cattle rather than pay the excess
sive price Of dairy feed. To raise the
price Of milk they would be considered
'unpatriotic," so they are choosing the
easy way. What shall we have-food
on whisl<cy? Shall the public pay dou
BE the prce for the necessities of life
while the corn hoarders and the dis
tille"s sit back and gamble with the ma
TONS snews of war? This is the story
in a nutshell. The vital needs of 100,
600, 600 Americans ard millions of our
Al es are being sacrificed by the greed
and unpa triotic acts Of these food pira-
tes. The people cannot. must not. and
will not be forced to stand it, Quick
q iS America with
plenty of food is no better off than the
warning nations of Europe. They have
food regulation and no food. We
have the food land no regula ton.

FIRST STEAMERS ON LAKES
The Ontario and the Frontenac.
Launched 10t Years Ago, Were
Constructed In 1915.

The first steamboats, on the Great
Lakes were launched 101 years ago on
Lake Ontario. Two craft operated by
steam were constructed in 1916 on the
shores of the latter lake, one being
the Ontario, built at Sacketts Harbor,
N. Y, and the other the Frontenac,
which was launched at Jamestown,
Canada, on September 7, 1916. The
Frontenac was one of the finest steam-
boats fl1loat at that time. It cost $780,
900, and was Of 700-tons burden, its
length Of deck being 40 feet. The
Frontenac was placed in operation 100
years ago, making three round trips
each month from Kingston to York and
Niagara. Capt. James Mckenzie, who
had had experience in the British navy,
was placed In command. The From
tenac was in service on Lake Ontario
for ten years, and soon had several
rivals for the lake trade.
A fare Of $15 was charged from
Kingston to Niagara for flrst-class pas
sengers, but deck passengers were cnr-
ried for 1915 head. The freight rate
was "a shllIlngs per barrel bulk"
The first steamship on Lake Erie
was the Walk-ln-the-Water which was
LAUNCHED at Black Rock, near Buffalo,
In 1918.

How to Keep Your ErIends.

II Is almost impossible to be genuine
ly friendly with person who insists
on being too close to you, on knowing
oil your thoughts feelings and affairs,
and on claiming your time and atten-
ton on the excuse OF affection alone.
The bonds Of true friendship must
be easy and Its demands must be for
something real and vital. The woman
who calls on you perpetually because
she has taken sudden fancy to you Is
a blind and selfish egotist, In mild
way. Her calls may interrupt your
work and bore you intensely, but If you
are polite and courteous person you
bear with her until she directs her at
tentlon elsewhere. She will probably
tell the new friend that you are livery
unresponsive." Some women clutch at
every new acquaintance and then COM
plain that they have so few friends.
The reason Is that friendship Is not
built on trivlaltles and whlms, but by
giving such valuable things rs true con-
slderation, real interest and manifest
Ing decent reserve as to the other
persons confidence and nOnconfidlngs.

"DaX Of the QeadO

The French probably borrowed their
reverentlal festival Of "the Day Of the
Dead" from the japanese. In Nippon
the day Is one Of grave solemnlty. In
Nagasaki the annual Bon Matsurl, In
the mldweek of July, was this year
favored with Ideal weather, and as
there was no moon, the lluminntlons
on the hills were seen to great nd
vantage. The cemeteries were thronged
with the relatives OF the departed
which means that on the second and
third nights saturday and Sunday n
very large proportion OF the inhabl-
tants Of the city congregated In the
burial places. The fireworks dis
plays were not up to the average Of
previous years because the war has
greatly increased the cost. From nine
o'clock to midnight on Sunday eve
ming the streets leading to Ohato were
crowded with tiny professions OF
floats and spectators. The Nagasah
Press lmagines the cost Of this festival
greatly exceeds that Of the O'Suwa
festival In the autumn and the Kite
festival. Probably the lanterns dis
played over the tombs are used from
year to year.

Rats Sworn Enemles Of Birds.

The number Of useful insect-eatlng
birds nesting on the ground or In low

kinds Of injury done by these PERM

such nests located IN the neighborhood
Of buildings have been raided by rats.
