SEC. OF WAR BAKER
REPUDlAlES REPORT
Another War Lie Nailed That he
ARMY Doesn't Need Sweaters

Secretary OF War Baker found it
necessary Saturday to nail another
war lie.7 when he issued state
ment repudiating the circulation of
statements TO the effect that the Army
does not want any more sweaters. He
said that these garments were cordi-
ally welcomed by the men and by the
War Department.
Secretary Bakers statement fol-
lows:
AN apparent misunderstanding has
arisen in some quarters regarding the
attitude Of the War Department to-
ward the knitting of sweaters and
comforts for our soldiers. The De-
partment has in no sense discouraged
the furnishing of such garments
through the American Red Cross and
is appreviative of the spirit which
prompts American women in their
knitting for the troops. II is true
that sweater is not included in the
regular equipment of the Army, and
it is not regarded as an absolutely es-
sential garment However, knitted
sweater is a garment OF great serv-
iceability and constitutes a welcome
addition to a soldiers equipment, par
ticularly when the soldier is on duty
in the rigor Gus winter climate of
France. While the department itself
has not officially called upon any or
ganiation to supply sweaters, certain
divisions of the Army have made such
acquisitions and have been gratified
that the supply was available. The
work of American women who desire
to add this comfortable article to the
clothing supplied the soldier by the
War Department is worthy of encour-
agement."

Happiness is something that is not

Quire other things. 1t is not some
thing entirely separate from ourselves

Delightful Corn Bread More
Appetizing Southern Style

Once a woman in a hospital who
had everything shee needed to eat got
tired of it all, as sick people will do.
E. little girl, who had an old-fashioned
North Carolina mother, came to see
the sick woman, wanted to bring her
something to eat. She shook her head
Urtil sudden memory flashed over
her. "Oh, / know what it is l want
la piece of your mothers corn bread
tuttered hotw But, though she prom
ised faithfully, it never came. Per-
haps they were ashamed to send such
ia humble little gift. Humble, but the
Ione thing that was wanted. Once, on
the cars during long journey, rich
cid woman, who had been across the
United States five times, and across
Ito Europe eight times, was talking to
ia little Southern woman. She spoke
of corn bread and begged for recipe
like they made it in the South. The
little woman told her she wished it
were possible for her to bake her
some, but that all the telling she
could do would not effect the baking of
corn pone as it is in the South. The
cooks there can tell by running their
hands through the meal whether to
make it up "battery" or more solid.
The old time mills, run by water and
grainding the meal by means of
large rocks, do not heat the meal and
ruin the natural flavor. There is no
real SO good, so satisfying. When
the wall went up over the land that
pellagra was caused by eating corn
bread, the people of the South smiled
,derisively. Why, their ancestors ate
lit before them! They could cite in
stances. They never believed that.
Not they of the countryside. Even
now, I doubt the verdict of the wise
ores that this disease is caused by
the Southerners' diet, because l have
known of cases among the poor and
among the most comfortably situated
class, and have known that they had
the best to eat that the market af-
forded in the way of fresh meats, etc.
Speaking of meats, we have eaten no
fresh meat for some time. We rather
pride ourselves on the fact. Wonder
iii our children's children will think we
were generation of animal-eating
cannibals.

PREACHER HIRES
CONVICTED ONE
FOR ATTORNEY
(By United Press)

Sacramento, May 11.-That Rev,
Madison Slaughter, who was sent to
San Quentin prison for his alleged
relations with 15-year-old Gertrude
Lamson, a member Of his congrega-
ton in Chico, is penniless and there
fore sought the gratuitous services OF
fellow prisoner, former prominent
attorney, in his fight for liberty, is
revealed in Slaughter's petition for a
hearing in the state supreme court,
following the Third District Court
of Appeals decision against the con-
victed preacher.
Soon after going to prison Slaugh-
ter dismissed his Chico attorneys and
it was suspected that George D. Col
lins, a lawyer serving twenty years
in San Quentin for perjury, was con-
Quoting his appeal. Judge Burnett,
who wrote the Third District courts
decision, stated "the briefs were un-
doubtedly prepared by former as
tute member of the bar now sojourn-
ing in San Quentin"
In the petition to the supreme court,
filed this week, Justice Burnett's as
sertion draws this reply from Slaugh-
ter's convict-lawyer:
at is entirely irrelevant who pre-
pared the petitioners briefs and equal
ly irrelevant whether the culprit does
or does not sojourn in San Quentin.
The INDECENT circumstances Of the pc
titioner have compelled him to seek
the generous assistance Of one who
has always gratuitously given his
services to the cause of the defense
less, the prosecuted and the oppressed"
Quotations from the Bible relating
to charity are then set forth in the
petition. 1t is declared in the appeal
that Slaughter has been .reviled, Will
fled and prosecuted because of his
fight against vice and liquor. The
contention is made that the appellate
court erred in practically all of its
rulings.

TREAS0NAbLEl REMARKS
ARE BEING PUNISHED
-~oNr1NrrND FROM Paan oNml

eH0NTINTrED FROM PAGH ONN1
"This country is at war and the
government demands unquestioned and
undivided loyalty from every one of
her citizens. Military necessity makes
it mandatory that ever7 person who
fails to refuses to give such undivided
and unquestionable allegiance shall be
considered as disloyal. Disloyalty, in
turn, is considered treason. In war
time treason may be punished with
death.
"Unfortunately it has been neces-
sary to deprive a few persons of
their liberty because of unwise acts
and utterances. More than 100 such
persons, taken into custsdy in this
state, are now being detained because
Of their failure to observe that degree
|of loyalty to their country which a
condition of war demands. Quite a
few instances also have been reported
to the State Council of Defense where
N persons have been sentenced to long
terms in Jail for reasonable language
In other instances offenders in this
respect have escaped with warning.
"The State Council of Defense
urges upon every person in Califor-
mia the necessity of being loyal both
in act and word at this time. True
patriotism means not only loyalty to
flag and country, but to the president
and the heads of our government.
Every person should give this kind of
loyalty.
"In the words of Governor Steph
ems Immediately following declaration
OF war, it is also time for 'kindli-
ness, friendliness and bioad-spirited-

against this that we fight.

of heavy Jail sentence teing imposed

reported from Santa RosS, where Dis

At Vandeheuval Residence

Just such an ideally perfect day

"What is so rare as day in June 2"
was yesterdays May Day in Impe-

under the capable direction of Mrs.
L. B. Talbot, will be recorded in the
history of the Woman's Ten Thousand
Club as perfect day. in every sense
OF the word.
AS was stated by the president,
Mrs. Griswold, it was day for
"hridging over" the clasping of the
hands of the old time members with
the new. That the meeting should
lie held at the home of charter men,
bers of the club (Which organization
is now past eight years old) but en-
phasized the bringing together of the
cd and the new.
1t was a day when all nature smiled
and a more beautiful setting for a
May Day party could not be found
than the Vandenheuvel home, four
miles west of Ell Centro, on the High
way. It's beautiful spacious lawn, with
its great hedge of roses and other
vines, together with the charming hos
pitality of the hostesses-Mrs. Van
denheuvel and her daughters, Miss
June, Mrs. May Hill and Mrs. Ray
Balcom-leaving memory that will
ever be treasured by those fortunate
enough to be present.
The spacious vine-covered screen
porch of the home was converted into
an audience room that easily accom-
r1odated the 120 guests, and inter
mingled with the songs of the birds
and the fragrance of the flowers was
given a musical program of rare eX-
cellence, the following new members
teing contributors: Piano solo, Men

Erzinger; vocal solo, "Voices of the
Woods" Rubenstein melody, Mrs. E.

"May Morning." Mrs. c. E. Fox.
Mrs. Talbot in a graceful little
speech, introducing Mrs. ]. F. Sey-
mour, Jr., as the clubs "siver- tongued
orator." called upon her to give the
address of welcome to this years adj
cition to the membership of the club.
Mrs. Seymour fittingly expressed the
kindly feeling and interest of the club
toward the new members, pointing out
to the mthat the very life of the or
ganization depended upon the new
ideas and strength which they were

come was given by Mrs. NJ. G. But
