EAT MORE CORN.
The Most Effective Substitute
for Wheat at Our Disposal

Ordinarily the quantity of
corn produced in the United
States is from three to four
times the quantity Of wheat,
but only a very small portion of
the crop-from 5 to 10 per cent
has been used for human
food. This amount may be es-
timated in normal times at about
20O,00O,000 bushels a year. Not
over 5 per cent has been ex-
ported in peace times. A rela-
lively slight increase in the corn
acreage, therefore, will place
many millions of bushels more
of human food at the disposal
of the world without interfering
in any way with the feed needed
for the support of livestock.
In the past, with an abun-
dance Of grain of other kinds,
corn has not been in great de-
mand for human consumption.
But with other grains no longer
abundant, circumstances will
compel more general recognition
of the value of corn as human
food. The department is urging
strongly the wider use of corn
in the diet. It is the best substi-
tute for wheat that we have and
can be utilized in breads, mushes
and a variety Of other ways. We
should make every effort to avail
ourselves of it.

The Why of
SeIf-SaCrifiiCe

A young man writes the Star
of some of the perplexities that
have arisen in his mind over pro-
blems growing out of the war.
He had come to the conclusion
that there is reasonable basis
for our morals. The saying,
Honesty is the best policy" for
instance, he had felt had been
The Redwood gazette., 1917-06-06

There was a time when a man
owned his wife. But now the
best you can do is to lease one
until she wants to be released.
When a girl with a rosebud
mouth has been eating onions
you forget all about the roses.
No matter how many funerals
a man attends, he can't realize
that he will be dead some day.

by the experience of man
kind. In the long run honesty
is the best policy, and so are tht
other virtues. But he has begur
to question the correctness of his
theory.
.How can you account, he
says, for the self-sacrifice
that is daily sending men to
their death on the western
front? Leaving out the con-
solatsonE Of religion, if a
man is to give up his life
how is he to find a reason
able basis for his action? Or
rather, can't a man refuse
to take the risk and find a
perfectly reasonable excuse?
Can't he say, 'The best pol
icy for me is the policy
that keeps me alive and
comfortable?" And come to
think of it, on a purely reas-
enable basis, wouldn't we
be impelled to get along
fairly selfishly, not going to
an extreme, perhaps, but
looking out for No. II"
This difficulty often has a
risen before. Men were con
stantly confronted by acts O
noblest self-sacrifice which the.
were puzzled to find a reason
able theory to explain. Appar
emily people were made so the.
deliberately chose to regard 9th

out of it. The Christian mart
yrs, for instance, found higher
satisfaction in going to the lions
than in renouncing their faith.
LESS striking examples were
plentiful. The world was full
of men and women who had
chosen hardship on behalf Of 9TH
ers rather than selfish ease.
They evidently like to do it. But
why?
The thing was a puzzle until
observation and reflection had
disclosed what a social being
man is. If it were possible to
put baby on a deserted island
and let him grow up without
human companionship he would
be an animal and nothing more.
You think Of yourself as sort
of isolated thing but you are
wrong. The self is a social prod
uct.
That being the case the nor
NAL human being has interests
outside himself. AS his concerns
broaden, his feelings of what
hsi enlarging self needs keeps
pace. So his altusism is
merely an attempt to work out
his own largest purposes. He
would not be satisfied to consid-
er merely his own interests, be-
cause his deepest interests in
clude other people.
! Coningsby Dawson, the noted
novelist, decided it was his duty
to get into the war, and against
! the advice of his friends he sailed
for France and went into the
trenches. Good Housekeeping
prints a letter from him that has
a passage bearing on this discus
sion. He writes:
Here are apparently
quite ordinary chaps--chaps
who washed, liked theatres,
loved kidiies, sweethearts
! had a zest for life-they re
bankrupt of all pleasures ex-
cept the supreme pleasure
of knowing that they're
doing the ordinary and the
! finest things of which they
are capable. There are mil
/ lions to whom the mere con-
i sciousness of doing their
duty has brought a hitherto
inexperienced peace Of mind.
For myself, l was never
happier than l am at pres
ent; there a novel zip ad-
ded to life by the daily rush
and the knowledge that at
last you're doing some
thing into which no trace
of selfishness enters. One

concern that matters is how
and not when you die
! In word, the realization that
] their own personality was as
wide as humanity and that their
aims and purposes included the
whole race, was a source Of sup.
! RENE satisfaction. The fighters

State Superintendent of Public In struction Bond Issues First Motif. cation on Subject Yesterday 10 Teachers.

In order that further emphasis be given the importance of observing
 'meatless" and "whea,1ess" days every Tuesday and Wednesday, re spectively. the food administration of the state, in charge Of Hamp Will l Hams, is about to launch through the city and country schools a campaign that, it is predicted will have a great effect and bring the desired results. This subject was taken mp in Lit tie Rock the latter part Of the week with State Superintendent of Public Instruction J. l.. Bond by Walter M. l lebel. who is now associated with Mir. | Williams in this work for the govern ment, and a policy outlined that will | be inaugurated immediately after the school children of the state return to their studies following the holiday va cation.
 It Is the intention of State Super intendent Bond to provide every city and country teacher with data fron the food administration showing the necessity for "meaJless" and wheat
 
 plain things thoroughly to the pupils The following week they will be asked co write essays on the subjects or de liver OratiOns. as the case may be They also Will be asked to make report as to what their parents think of the proposition and how many of their homes are observing these days requested by the government,
 Every pupil in the state participat- ing in this feature will receive the official button Of the food administra- ton, making them part Of the co operative force of this organization The taking of this campaign to the public schools is being done at the request of officials at ashington, who realize the importance of enlist ing the attention of the school chil- l dren in the "meatless" and wheat | less days movements. for they know ] they will carry the doctrine of this | conservation into their respective homes. A record will alo he kept of the result, which will be forwarded | 10 the government.

 more than glad to cooperate. re-
 gard The movement as a most al

 that information into the home aud, II firmly believe, once the campaign
 is under way, that greater results taan
 ever will be obtained for the govern

AMERICAN PRESIDEHT
 INTER-ALL COUNCIL
THE COUNCIL INCLUDES ONE REPRESENTATIVE OF EACH
 OF THE PRINCIPAL ALLIES

l Washington Dec. 15.-OTganization in London today of the inter allieA council by election of Assistant Sec retary Crosby of the treasury as president, was regarded by officials as
 marking the fruition of the plan ad- vanced by Secretary McAdoo soon after the United States entered the war for binding the allies into an economic unit
 Another phase of the American plan was carried out months ago by the creation of an allied purhasing com by Bernard Baruch The inter- allied council will consider such questions as the most effective use of credits advanced by the United States to her allies, priority of the allies material needs which can be supplied fin this country and in general way the pooling of economic resources to make the war more efficient
 As head of the council, which in cludes one representative from each Ol tue pIlnClpdi dllleS, MI NIOSDy VIII not vote except in tied disputes and consequently will hold the balance of power for the United States. His selection will necessitate his remain ing in London or Paris indefinitely, probably for the period of the war.
 q am greatly pleased said Sec retarv McAdoo tonight that such an honor as the selection of Mir. Crosby to the presidency of the inter allied council should come to the United States and the treasury department.
 Tt is very gratifying also to know tlat tLc plans for the conference have been Ccrsummated. AS a result of the organization of the council l am confident that we shal get more ef- fective use of the credits which tho uatcd States now is extending to the allies
 "A very distinguished honor has been conferred on Mir. Crosby l know of no man, who, by reason of his abil- ity, loyalty and general knowledge of the situation, is more competent to discharge those duties of the council"

Any community can have these fresh air classes.
 The nucleus for a fund to start such classes can be raised this Christmas by tho sale of Red Cross Christmas seals.
