one day to put into good condition the
place where our loved ones lie and
where we may lie ourselves sometime ?
We don't take very much pride in Elm
wood cemetery. Why? The location
is splendid and it is well laid out. 1t
is just because large portion of it is
allowed to run wild and no care what
ever is given it. Some lots are raised,

uneven. Could we remedy all this and
make our cemetery an ideal spot by
having clean up day over there?

LEARN THE VALUE OF CORN

palatablc Dishes.

Now that the great food-raising
urge is in full swing general attention
should be directed especially to the
subject of food values matter to
which Americans in their abundance
have given little thought. Take for
instance the single article of corn.
In the southern states 1t is used in
variety of ways for human consump-
uon-as hominy, as Cornmeal mush,
as johnny cake" or corn pone," in
puddings, mixed in other foods and
otherwise. Ii is the standby of the
southern cook, just as wheat flour is
the reliance Of the northern house
wife In the north corn is regarded
Cnicfly as excellent for fattening
swine, for feeding to chickens and is
generally thought of as animal rather
than as human fodder.
In this time OF economy in food
using, northerners will do well to give
consideration to the claims OF corn.
IL contains the starchy elements
needed. 1t is healthful, 1t it palat-
able 1t is usable in almost endless
variety of ways and it can be made
easily procurable. The gardener can
plant II freely In his garden, cure ii
in his attic and grind it to meal in
his own coffee mill. The farmer can
plant II in fields where winter wheat
and oats have failed. He will do wisely
and well to plant a tremendous acre
