The Alton Democrat comments that
Iowa farmers would do well to tind
some fertilizer which would enable
them to produce an old time crop Oh
wheat of about thirty bushels an acre.
1T would pay handsomely AYERS the
Democrat, eff the wheat fertility of the
soil could be restored thru the use OF
some process, altho it cost us as much
as IS per acre.
This paper figures that the great
state Of Iowa ought to treat its soldier

remarks the Logan, Observer. If we
can spend 100000 Of the states GOOD
money for hog barn to be used one

SENATORS RENEW ATTACK
ON JULIUS ROSENWALD
Chairman Of Committee on Sup
plies Is Arraigned for His "At-
titude Toward Congress"

julius Rosenwald Of Chicago, chair
the Council of National Defense. came
yesterday afternoon along with other
members OF the advisory committees
of the council. Senator Reed Of Mis-
souri, again led in the attack. and
the Senate a law enacted in 1868 de-
signed to prevent persons from act
ing as government agents in making
contracts where they were personally
interested. which he. and Senator Reed
also, insisted would cover the members
of the council and its committees.
This law is as follows
No officer or agent Of any banking
or other commercial corporation. no
member of any trading firm or person
directly or indirectly interested in the
pecuniary profits or contracts of any
such corporation or firm shall be EN-
ployed or shall act as an officer or
agent of the United States for tho
transaction OF business with such cor
poratton or firm, and every officer or
agent or member or person SO inter-
ested shall be Imprisoned not more
than two years and fined not more
than $4,000 nor less than $780,"
Senator Reed read from the act Gre
ating the council Of national defense
to show that the members and the
advisory committees were no moro nor
less than government agents, and that
they were subject to the law cited.
A dispatch from Fort Sheridan, ILL.,,
was read. in which 1t was stated that
Mr.. Rosenwald had told the men in
training there for commissions in the
Officers Reserve Corps that the coun-
Gil of national defense would go right
ahead awarding contracts for the gov
eminent. despite the attitude of Con-
gress toward the council. Mr.. Rosen-
valid was quoted as saying that Con-
gress seemed to be proceeding on the
theory that nobody is honest except
its own members" The council, he
said. would continue to make contracts
until 1t was legislated out Of existence
or its personnel was changed by the
President
Senator Rssd bitterly arraigned Mr..
Rosenwald for his attitude toward
Congress.
Predicting that scandals would fol-
low in tho trail Of the proposed food
control bill and the work Of the council
of national defense, Senator Townsend
Of Michigan warned that II tho people
discovered that members of the ad-
visory committees were fleeing the
government they would be given short
shrift.

He didn't want any one about. He
wanted to get off by himself. That
was because his pride was hurt quite

to be by himself and sulk. Yes SIR
that's just the word-sulk.
So he crawled off by himself. and
his brothers and sisters soon left him
alone When his mother returned he
wouldn't come out. For one reason he
was because he was disobedient that
he had got in such trouble. For sec
ond reason he was still sulky. He
didn't want to be seen by any one He
wanted just to keep by himself and
pity himself. He knew that he had
done wrong. He knew that he had
been silly to boast as he had. He knew
that he had been very fortunate to es-

wounds was no more than he deserved.

ready to do that yet.
So he stayed by himself and sulked
and sulked and sulked. He could hear
his brothers and sisters having good
time and this made him sulk all the
more. His mother made him come out,
where she could look him over and see
lust how much he was hurt. When
she saw that it really wasn't serious
she told him just what one of his
brothers had told him-that it served
him just right. She said that he ought
to be thankful that he had escaped
with his life and that she hoped this
would be lesson to him. She licked
the wounds very tenderly. which is

Meadows always treat wounds, and
then she paid no more attention to him.

SO complacently conscious that they

OF course, corn Is made into several
tempting breakfast cereals now, among
them the fakes that are eaten cold.
Hominy, too, is corn product that is
good as a breakfast cereal. Then, of
course, there are the numerous sorts
of corn bread and mullins. Hominy.
too, can be made into delicious mullins
and it can also be used much like corn
for a breakfast bread baked in sheets.
Rice may be used for a breakfast
cereal 1t may also be used in mullins
and pancakes.
Rye bread is delicious in tho form
of toast, and in this guise rye can be
made to take its place among the
breakfast cereals. Rye mullins, too. are
quite worth making and eating.
Buckwheat, as we all know, Is an
old breakfast standby in the form of
pancakes. But 1t is equally useful for
mullins. and buckwheat mullins have a
delicious flavor quite their own. They
are especially delicious served with
honey.
So, If you want to Join tho no-wheat-
for-breakfast brigade gather together
some wheatless receipts for cereals
mullins. toast and hot cakes, and see
how tempting you can make these
patriotic repasts.
