From the Kansas City Times.
The government has asked us to

help save the wheat for the soldiers
who are going to fight for US. It's
good suggestion.
This whole country was pioneered
on cornbread. The Pilgrim Fathers
almost lived on it Corn was the
first crop planted in all the virgin
soil as it was settled from the At
lantic out across the Alleghenies up
on the broad prairies to the Rockies
and beyond. Corn was a crop that
would grow even in the uncleared
forests of the middle west. Tho pio-
needs used to deaden the trees by
girding and drop corn in hills In the
unplowed soil and get a first crop
that way.
Sturdy men were reared on corn.
bread and venison.
But in these days cornbread has
fallen into disuse in the cities partly
because wheat has been so chesp, and
partly because women have forgotten
how to make palatable corn bread.
Let the cooking experts get busy
now and tell US again how to make
cornbread like grandma used to
make"

A MOTHER LAID TO REST

The funeral services of Mrs. Ellen
C. Perkins, mother Of F. C. Perkins,
was held from the home of her son
at o'clock this afternoon, conducted
by Rev. w. N. Courtice of the Pres
bgyterian church. Interment was at
Greenmount cemetery.
The events of the lives of us all
center around our mothers. From
earliest recollection until death parts
US, the love that mother increasingly
bestows upon her children hangs like
a sacred halo over our memories. No
sacrifice, no toll, no pain is too much
for mother to endure for her chill
dren. In honor or dishoner, we know
that someone in the world loves us;
someone believes we are all right;
someone understands US. That one is
Mother.
Filled with years of usefulness,
honored and beloved by large circle
of relatives and friends, Ellen C.
Perkins, at the ripe age of 80, takes
up the pure spiritual consciousness
of existence in the world beyond the
grave. We know not what is ahead
from day to day in this life. We on
ly know that over us all must be the
loving God, who never fails to give
His children every good thing, both
in this world and in the one to come.
And of all Gods children, surely a
mother who has fulfilled His COM
mandments deserves the highest and
best rewards of Righteousness.
The large assemblage that gather
ed to do honor to her memory is a
tribute that gives satisfaction in the
hour Of sourrow. Beautiful flowers
covered the bier and the soft voices
of loved ones sang the hymns she
liked to hear. Carefully, the form of
the departed mother was borne to its
last resting place under the protect
ing shadow Of the mountains she
adored, and it may truly be said,
"She has entered into her rest"
Services were held in the following
order:
Song-"Saved by Grace"
Prayer.
Reading of the 46th and 91st Psalms
by Rev. Courtice, the latter Psalm
being an especial favorite Of the
deceased lady. and the last one
read by her.
Solo, By Rev. Lint-"Will They Miss
Me When Pm Cone"
Remarks-Rev. Courtice.
Song-"Lead, Kindly Light"
Prayer and Benediction.
The pail bearers were Isaac Cher
ry, Williams Dobbins, F. r. Graham,
j. w. Green, Geo. Weaver and T. T.
Bowman. The choir was assisted by
Rev. Limit, Mrs. Harry McDevitt and
Mr.. and Mrs. Harris.
Among the many and beautiful
floral offerings were noted: a pillow
from her children, crescent from
the Mission Circle of the Presbyter-
ian church, pillow from the Bar
Association, a wreath from Mrs.
Kroeger. beautiful bouquets from
Mrs. J. A. Scouton, Mr.. and Mrs.
