Just Corn.

There should be no danger of
American starvation with a corn
crop of 1901, O8S,O bushels,
which is the greatest corn crop
In history. 1t is true that Amer
lean corn, or maize, as it is call
ed overseas, will not serve the
needs of our allies, for they are
not accustomed to it as a food.
But our own people can eat it
and thrive on it, and with this
enormous product available for
home consumption they should
use corn instead of wheat where
ever possible. AS a matter of
fact corn is a most nutritious
and wholesome food. There is
nothing palateble, in truth, than
well-baked corn bread or "pone,"
while johnny.ca constitutes
one of the most delectabie items
of the American bill of fare. It
is true that the quality of corn
TODD is largely in the cooking,
yet there are many recipes for
its preparation thai are easily
followed, and while some may
think that the baking of "pone"
is the work of genius, a very
little experience will suffice to
turn out toothsOme trays of
''spoonbread," on which any
family can thrive happily. We
must use this immense corn crop
to the best advantage, and the
Food Administration is render
ing the people valuable service.
in urging the substitution of
corn for wheat at the family ia.
BILE 1t should, however, make:
sure of the utilization of this
crop by bringing the price of
corn meal down from it's present
height, at which great numbers
of people find it impossible to use
it instead of ordinary wheat
flour.

JUDGE BEN g. LINDSEY.


Much interest will center ia the com
ing Of Judge Ben 3. Lindsey to this
city. Judge Lindsey's marvellous fight
against political powers in Colorado
and the farreaching results of his work
among and for delinquent youth have
brought him into the public eye as but
few other men in this country have
been.
The subject of his lecture is ''The
Misfortunes of Mickey lecture
which is as entertaining as the title
would indicate. In addition to enter
tanning the patrons of the course, the
Lyceum committee which brings Judge
Lindsey to a community does the COM
munity even a higher service than to
entertain. Judge Lindsey has a mes
sage, and that message has to do with
the most important individual in all
the wOrld-the boy.
He tells of the incident in his judi
,cial career that turned his attention to
the boy. Seven or eight years ago the

SET Judge Lindsey 70 thinking, the re-
suit being the present juvenile system
in the state of Colorado that is des-
tined to become national.
In his lecture he touches many
phases of the problems of the day re-
lating to the youth. he believes that
parents should be held responsible for
the welfare of their children. He also
saws that business men should learn
the facts of the cause Of crime and
that no business will ever succeed
when it puts money above heart and
conscience. Children are the victims
Of individualism in thousands of in
stances.

Germany's Great Military Power.

The lamentabIe, and yet remar-
kable thing about this war is the
superhumism military power of
Germany.
Nothing of consequence has
ever been accomplished by any
of the other Central Powers.
1t was a German Army that
overran Belgium and Northern
France and was barely stopped
at the Marne.
1t was a German army that
crushed Serbia in 1915 and dealt
the same fate to Roumania the
following fall and winter.
1t is German officers that are
now commanding Turkish sold
iers. and who made the Darda--
nelles campaign a failure.
1t is German troops who drove
invaders from Austria and are
now winning decisive victories
in Italy.
1t was German soldiers who
virtually put Russia out Of the
war in the spring offensive Of
1915, and it was German soldiers
who two months ago captured
Riga and menaced Petrograd.
Austria Hungary is powerless
without Germany; Bulgaria and
Turkey not only depend Upon
German manpower, but upon
German mil litary strategy and
leadership.
Germany is in reality the Cen
trail Power and it is the desper-
ate autocracy that must be crush
