The Starkville news., 1917-03-16

It is the privilege of every man to
make his own hell after his own ideas,
but with less than half the energy he
really could construct very fair imi-
tation of heaven.-Selected!
The Starkville news., 1917-03-16
Do It Now

If with pleasure you are viewing any
work man is doing, -
If you like him or you love him, tell
him now.
Don't withhold your appreciation, till
the parson makes Grafton
And he lies with snowy lilies Ger his
brow;
For no matter how you shout it, he
won't really care about it;
He won't know how many teardrops
you have shed;
If you think some praise is due him,
now is the time to slip it to him,
For he cannot read his tombstone
when he's dead. =.
More than fame and more than money
is the comment kind and sunny,
And the hearty, warm approval of a
friend,
For it gives to life SAVIOR and it makes
you stronger, braver,
And it gives you heart and spirit to
the end;
If he earns your praise-bestow it; if
you like him, let him know it;
Let the words of true encourage
ment be said;
Do not wait until life is over and he's
underneath the clover,
For he cannot read his tombstone
when he's dead.

USE GRAIN As FOOD
ADVOCATED BY WEBB
Member OF House Would Take Cereals
Now Used in Liquor Making to
Feed Hungry.

Representative Webb. of North
Carolina, chairman of the judiciary
committee of the national house, and
one of the best known prohibition
leaders OF the country. has been
studying the legal aspects of the pro-
the food supply. In an interview he
said:
Il cannot see how the men in the
larger cities who usually are the chief
opponents of prohibition can argue
that the grain used In making whis-
key should not be ground into meal
TO feed the hungry mouths in their
districts. If there is any way to do
so | would like to Sc every grain OF
corn Or wheat now used in the manu-
facture of liquors he turned into meals
for the sustenance of the people
Whiskey offers a stimulation that re-
suits In hunger. Why not eliminate
II and satis< natural hunger"
There is wide difference of opin-
ion as to the amount of grain m
nually devoted to alcohol. The presi-
dent of the Kansas Agricultural coll
lege quotes figures running as high
as s00.000,000 bushels. while the off,
cial report of the bureau of internal
revenue gives less than 200. 900, 900
Whatever the figures may be. the loss
This grain ii turned into other chan
nels could furnish food for millions
OF people and would unquestionab1y
greatly augment the meat supply
within short period of time.
The distillers in the hope OF get
ing under cover are making two
propositions: One is to turn their dis
tillerieS over to the government To
manufacture alcohol for munitions
during the war. This they would do
as patriotic measure" in the hope
of divertng the trend of public senti-
ment away from the subject OF prohi-
bition. The National Liquor Dealers
association proposes to increase the
tax TO $50 on all whiskey now In
bond and to put a still higher tax ON
new production. This they claim will
restrict production. The people, how
ever. are growing more insstent in
their demand that this waste of grain
by brewers and distillers cease, and
prohibition as preparedness meas
ure is becoming more live issue each
day in Washington.

|O|STILlEaS MENACE TO
SUPPLY OF FOOD
Miller ard Baker Declare Grains Co
ing Into Liquors Arc Wasted and
should be Saved.

That the liquor makers are menac-
ing the grain supply in the United
States and that the government should
stop the use of grains for liquors and
thus conserve the food supply was
declared by George c. Shane, prom.
inent Minnesota miller, and Louis j.
kolb, head of the great kolb bakers
in terviews given the Philadelphia
North American.
Grain which the nation needs for
food and medicines is going iuvc
liquor by the thousands OF bushels
these men said. They questioned the
quality of patriotism manifested by
the distilIcrs and brewers and by
those wealthy citizens who are buying
up and boarding large quantities OF
food supplies.
Messrs Shane and kolb declared
that unless drastic measures are take5,
by the government to husband the
wheat supply of the nation and pre-
vent it from being wasted by the ave-
tillers and boarded by the rich, the
country will be without white -four
before the spring crop is harvested in
the fall.
Booze or bread, said they, is the
issue that has been put squarely up
to the people and the government of
the United States by the partial fail
ure of the winter wheat crop and the
shortage of labor for the planting OF
spring wheat.
Passing all arguments aga.nss
booze as a destroyer of health ~na
homes" said Mr.. kolb. the best
thing that can be said for 1t is that IL
is a luxury. As such there is abso-
lutely no comparison between the
value Of grain in rum and bread to
the nation.
Small Food Value.
IF there is any food value in rum
1t Is but minute percentage Of that
in bread. Therefore. the nation is
faced with the simple question of de-
Gliding whether 1t wants to run shor,
OF one of it's most valuable staples OF
food or do without a luxury during
the life OF the war.
Very little wheat in used by the
distillers, but they consume millions
liable now for the making of bread
In this city tPhliadelphia) the per-
centage of rye bread consumed is only
about per cent but in New York
and some other large cities il runs as
high as 20 and IS per cent. While
the shortage - threatened consumers
can prevent the using up OF all the
wheat by using rye bread occa SION
ally
In addition to the argument
against the use of millions OF bushels
Of grain in whiskey from the view
point of the food supply. il should also
be remembered that alcohol is OF
value in medical work, to the arts
and To munition making While the
nation is in need of these things,
grain is wasted that goes into luxu-
ries when IL could be utilized in some
thing of real benefit TO the country"
