Beware OF the ApoIogIst

Throughout the United States you
will find in almost every community
what is politely termed the "Apolo-
gist," or in other words the man or
woman who Is more or less pro-Ger-
man, and who tries, to a certain ex-
tent, to excuse or make excuse, for
the dastardly uncalled for barbarious
crimes that have and are now being
committed by the Kaiser and his
bunch of heathens. And while ac-
tual proof OF these heinous crimes
has been made. still you run into
this so-called class Of apologists, who
are willing and do say that there
must have been some good cause for
the terrible crimes that have been
committed on mankind.
Some place In the Good Book 1t
says: "If you are not for me, you are
against me-" Just so with this class
of apologists and 1t is high time that
the different states of the Union were
forming societies to deal with this
class of people. We are In war and
war to a finish, and the very idea Of
having people enjoying the most Won
derful prosperity and freedom that
exists in this great United States,
and at the same time trying, as 1t
were, in way to thwart and block
the plans of this great government
of ours, to maintain and uphold the
dignity and honor of our government,
has come to the all important ques-
ton: ARE you A TRUE AMERI-
CAN CITIZEN?" II you are not you
had better return to the country from
whence you came, as this great Unit
ed States has no use for, nor will not
tolerate, any but true American cit
liens.
To the readers or this article we
would suggest that you appoint your
self committee of one to at all times
be on the watch and report any IT.
regularities along this line that you
may see or hear of to your local offl'
GERS, who in turn will report the
same to the federal authorities.

War Recipes
(By Isabel Gordon Curtis)

(By Isabel Gordon Curtis)
The views of Isabel Gordon Curtis,
who is well known in every American
household through her long service
In solving the cooking problems for
the readers of Good Housekeeping,
Golfers, Delineator and Success
Magazine, are in complete harmony
with the Food Administration upon
the all important Bread.
That Mrs. Curtis is a firm believer
In the use of corn pone is certain.
While writing on the topic of "Bak-
ing Powder Breads. she says:
Indian corn is native of the new
world and is one of the chief sources
OF national wealth. 1t is so common
ly used as an article OF food, both
In an unripe state. as green corn.
and as dry grain, crushed or ground
as hominy. or as corn meal, and cook
ed in various forms that 1T may al
most be regarded as the national food
Of America. In addition to corn meal
mush. the we'll known hasty pudding
OF our grandmothers, It forms the
basis of many of the appetizing mod
ern breakfast foods. In New Eng
land 1t takes the form best known
as the Rhode Island Johnny Cake.
In the South 1t forms the celebrated
Hoe Cake or Corn Pone. In all parts
of the country corn meal bread. muf-
fins and batter cakes are cooked and
served according to a great variety
of recipes. The following has been
selected as typical of the various corn
meal breads in use in different parts
of the United States as recorded by
the foremost writer's on cookery This
selection has been made with great
care and is believed to be one OF the
most complete and satisfactory in ex-
istence."

tions are made by the Bureau Of
Markets, United States Department
Of Agriculture:
Provide Supply OF Hay
Feeders Of stock In the northwest
ern part of the United States would
do we'll to anticipate their require
ments Of hay as early as possible for
the coming winter and spring The
nearest source Of supplies should be
located and arrangement made to
have hay shipped in during the fall
and early winter. A stock sufficient
to carry their animals through at
least part of the winter should be
provided before the hay supply of
their immediate territory is exhaust
ed.
Fall Baling
Throughout the Northwest, where
practically all hay is stacked In the
open. large percentage of the crop
remaining In stacks through the win
tsr and spring is spoiled and be-
comes worthless so far as baling and
shipping to markets is concerned. If
this hay is baled in the fall and early
winter after the rush of other fall
work is past, when 1t will be found
to be in a dry condition, many thou
sands of tons can be saved In the
hay-producing sections for shipment
to other localities.
Save Straw
In sections where It appears thers
may be a shortage of forage. straw
stacks-especially of oat straw
should not be burned Well-preserv-
ed oat straw makes excellent rough
age for stock. and any straw is worth
preserving in localities where the hay
crop is short OF which are adjacent
to sections where a shortage OF for
age exists. Throughout the grain
belt straw should be saved both for
feed and for fertilizer.
Poultry by Post
At this time of the year farmers
should try to find customers to whom
dressed chickens and turkeys can be
shipped by parcel post. Many farm
ers have established a business in
marketing various products direct
| by parcel post OF express, by obtain
ing customers for poultry to be ship
ped at Thanksgiving time, and SO
pleasing the customers with the poul-
try furnished that they proceeded to
obtain other products Of the farm
direct from the producer.
Corrugated paper-board cartons or
deep market baskets are suitable con-
tainers for shipping dressed poultry
The fowls should be wrapped In
parchment paper. then in plenty OF
wrapping paper or newspaper, after
which the whole package is placed in
the carton or basket. The shipment
should be thoroughly chilled before
being shipped. and the parcel should
be marked "Perishable.
Farmers should bear in mind that
only good fowls dressed and packed
carefully will be satisfactory to Gus
toners. Success in selling direct to
consumers often depends on wheth'
er the consumer is pleased with the
first shipment of produce.

HOURLESS IN SHAPE
Great Colt Works in Sensa- tiOnal Manner at Laurel Track Favored to Beat Omar Khayyam.

Laurel, Md, Oct. 17.-August Bel mont's great colt Hourless worked sensational mile and furlong hero yesterday in preparation for his match race with Wilfred Viau's champion Omar Khayyam tomorrow.
 Ridden by a lad who weighs at least 125 pounds, the brown son Of Nogofol and Hour Glass II, stepped the distance under a stout pull in 1:521-4. He sped the first quarter in 23 2-5, the half in AZ, six furlongs in 1:12 2-5 and the mile in 1:38 2-5. Throughout the final furlong Sam Hildretht signalled the rider to ease the colt up, but Hourless was full of running and pulling hard on the bit, and it was with much difficulty that the lad brought him to a stop after the nine furlong journey.
 It was the opinion of a majority of experts that Hourless could have trav- eled one mile and hIf at the same terrific rate of speed. So impressive was the trial that many horsemen are of the opinion that he will defeat MT. Viau's golden chestnut over the one mile and a quarter route on Thursday.

LEONARD VS. BRITT0N

Lightweight Champion Tackles Tough
 Bird Friday Night-Jacl& Has Met
 the Best of Them.
 New York, Oct. 17.-Jack Britton was 32 years of age last Sunday. Of those thirty-two years he has spent fourteen years in the ring. The rec ord books only chronicle Britton's ring doings since 1905, but it was two years previous to that when he first crawled through the ropes.
 Most little men of the ring, feather weights, lightweights and welter- weights, have been at the crest when between 20 and 25 years of age. Few of them amounted to much after passing the 2S year old mark.
 Britton, who three times fought the great Packey Mcfarland has met Willie Ritchie, Matty Baldwin, Eddie Hanlon, Joe Yelling, Leach Cross, Charlie White and other great light weights and has given battle to Mike Glover, Soldier Bartfeld, Silent Mar tin. Leo Houck. Frank Laughery, Kid Lewis and Mike O'Dowd among the welters and middleweights, today ,af- ter fourteen years service in the ring, finds himself physically little impaired.
 Yet of all the ring stars Britton has given battle to in his long career he never, with the possible exception of McFarland has met as dangerous and masterly an opponent as Benny Leon- ard, the lightweight king, whom he faces in the ring on Friday night. True Leonard will give away a little weight four or five pounds-but that is nothing considering the advantages that Benny possesses in youth, strength, consummate boxing skill and cleverness.

BARRY TO KEEP HIS JOB.

 Displacing Red Sox Leader.

Boston, Mass, Oct. Histories that Jack Barry would be displaced as manager of the Red Sox and that the present owners were ready to sell out their holdings were denied yesterday by H. H. Frazee. president of the Boston club A report had been circulated that Dick Hoblitzell would take Barry's place.
 Barry can remain manager of the Red Sox as long as he likes to hold the job," said FraZee. II fully rec oRnize the ability of Hoblitzell, but never for moment did l entertain any idea of appointing him in Barry's place. As for my selling out, all l can say is that I am in baseball to stay. Boston has treated us right and I hope to own the club for quite some time to come.'
