BREAD OF ALL NATIONS.

Although wheat -four is the most
important material used in bread
making, it is by no means the only
one. Graham, rye, barley and oat-
meal fours are all commonly used,
and less commonly, barley, buckwheat,
rice and maize meal.
The earliest form of bread was pre-
pared from acorns and beechnuts. In
Southern Europe meal of various
species of millet is used. In India
and China, durra and other cereal is
also baked into cakes, and in South
America meal of the tapioca plant is
used
The art of bread making has kept
pace with the advance of civilization.
1t is a curious fact that the more per-
feet the system of bread making, the
higher has been the grade of civili-
zation. In this late century the coin
cidence is established by the Uniyer-
sal Bread Maker, featured in connec-
tion with the Universal Kitchen Eff
cheney Contest, which will be conduct
ed by Fountains, April 9th to 14th.

European conflict and through an ag-

Does it sound reasonable that having
conquered all Europe Germany would
allow the richest Country in the world
to go unchallenged when she so sorely
needed money with which to re-estab-
lish herself and pay the losses Great
ed by the war?
Far from it! Should Germany win
the European war she would consider
it her duty to conquer the United
States too if she could.
Germany is not the only nation with
whom the United States could posi-
bly, become involved in future years.
The preparedness program was not
started to cope with the situation
which just at present confronts the
United States but to cope with un-
known situations in the future. 1t
was not launched to protect this
Country from Germany but to guard
it against all aggressive powers who
might wish to invade the sacred rights
of America.
The present situation only lays
stress upon the necessity Of prepared
ness. Are you going to help prepare
your Country to take care Of herself? ?
Are you going to help to protect pos
terity? Are you going to help keep

BANQUET WILL
BE HELD LATER
General Disappointment Expressed
That Greenwood Boys Could Not
Return Home.

Arrangements had been completed
yesterday afternoon for the banquet
to be given the Greenwood boys from
| the border in honor of their return
home and much disappointment was
felt because the boys were ordered
held in Federal service at Jackson and
could not get here.
The fact that the boys were ordered
to be held in Federal service was not
Learned here until four o'clock yes
terday afternoon. The order did not
reach jackson until afternoon. When
lit was received the regiment had been
mustered out and many Of the boys
had started for home. They are all
being recalled to Jackson by wire.
/ Mr.. Joe Stein, proprietor of the Ho-
tel Irving, where the banquet was to
have been served, had decorated his
place very elaborately for the occa-
sion and the work of preparing the
actual dishes for the tables had been
begun when the message saying that
the boys could not come arrived here
Mr.. Stein very patriotically refused
any payment for the trouble and ex-
pense he had gone to to prepare the
banquet.
| The banquet has been postponed
until future date. Those who so
literally contributed toward the fund
for that purpose have agreed to keep
the money in one sum until such time
as it can be used as planned.
