The highest cash price ever paid
for corn On any regular market was
obtained on the Chicago board of trade
Tuesday when it reached $1.13h q
bushel. May corn also touched the
record price of $1.12B bushel. Rail-

hogs, short crop last year, excessive
export demand and domestic con-
sumption all contributed to the adj
vance.

VELVET BEANS
GOOD FOR FOOD

There has been much discussion
regarding the velvet bean as a food
possibility, based on varied expert
ences. Miss Agnes Ellen Harris o.
the University Of Florida extension
division submits this information,
which comes from Mrs. Classcn who
has tried them.
81 have tried two kinds, the COM
mon notified velvet bean and the Chi
nese variety, and have proved to my
satisfaction that they arc perfectly
Wholesome when eaten in the same
quantity as other beans, such as lima.
kidney or navy. They cause no di-
Ccstjve disturbance, which NAV be
partly due to the way l prepare
them.
"Tho skin of these beans is very
coarse and heavy. | understand that
with any kind Of beans it is the skin
that causes trouble: So the first thing
| do is to get rid of the skins on the
velvet beans. | soak them for twenty
four hours, bring them to q boil. and
then add a teaspoOnful of soda to a
cup of dried beans. I then rinse them
in cold water and the skins will be
so loose they will slip off easily. They
can be removed quite rapidly.
Il have made three kinds of soup
with these beans which have been
very satisfactory; a soup with milk.
one with tomatoes, and the third was
made by cooking the beans with a
ham bone, just like the old-fashioned
navy bean soup. I have also made
good bean croquettes and bean souf-
file. They make a fine combination
! for all sorts of things. but they must
always be combined with something
Of a high flavor because they are
lacking in that respect.
Il bought my beans at a mill anC
hulled them myself. At least hall
were bad because they had been eX-
posed to the weather. but even Their
when I weighed the good beans
found they had cost me but two cents
a pound. which is cheap enough il
these days Of high living costs"
Velvet beans are grown in great
quantities in Florida and if they car
be used for human food they will fiji
an important place in the family ra
ton.

attaches. In the first place there is the ma
terial the obvious advantage. But greater
still is the spiritual significance of the will
ingness of Our women who have plenty, to
get out in the field and dig that others may
be fed. 1t is in accordance with the proud
est traditions of the south, for whose he
roes, men and women, no sacrifice was too
great, no toll to heavy, if it was for Tie
Cause!
Not yet is our need as bitter as it was in
the sixties, when our grandmothers were
driven to self-Support by actual starvation,
but there is no telling what sacrifice the
future will call forth; there is no telling
what denials we at home may have to make
that the men fighting for freedom may be
fed, and that we are preparing so early,

WORTHY OF ENCOURAGEMENT.

The lack OF encouragement which the
ladies of the econmc branch of the Home
Defense League are receiving in their agri-
cultural work, is matter of deep regret
Something like a month ago they vol
unteered for municipal farming on quite
an extensive scale, the produce to be used
in relieving possible distress. due to the
food shortage, which will be keen this win
. ter, or for other worthy purposes, and
asked only little assistance in the form of
blowing and the actual potato slips-sweet
potatoes being the crop for which they
planned. The ladies obligated themselves
to do all the planting and the subsequent
hoe work
One club here gave FIVE dollars, with
which the blowing was done, and there the
matter has rested. Repeated appeals have
been made for potato slips, but neither
these nor the money to purchase them
have been forthcoming.
AS barely a month remains for the most
profitable planting, we are printing in an
other column list of growers who have
potato slips for sale, in the hope that some
far-sighted people may order supply for

League, or send their donation direct to
Mrs. Walker Ingraham the chairman. who
will do the purchasing.

PERSHING IN PARIS.

Ii words fail to describe the material and
mechanical battle front. how much more
inadequate they are in attempting to por-
tray the spiritual outburst that welcomed
Pershing to Paris.
We read of shout thtt became CON
tiuous roar as the American leader &C
companied by Jofre and followed by his
staff, emerged from the train. of police
with difficulty clearing the way for the
autos, OF widows filled with frantic, cheer
ing throngs, OF old women fighting to leap
upon the running board of Pershing's car
for a closer view, of young girls throwing
flowers, bought from their scanty earn
ings, upon the astounded officers.
But beyond a series Of pleasing mental
pictures, what does the description mean
to us?
Our grandparents who stood siege and
were finally relieved when they were at the
last gasp, will understand; we may know
something of the tremendous JOY when Our
men come marching home, victorious, but
even that emotion will not equal the graft
tude, hope, almost worship, with which
France receives her deliverers.

Hunah! How'S This
Cincinnati authority says Germs
dry up and Ilft out
with fingers.

Hospital records show that every
time you cut a corn you invite lock-
jaw or blood poison, which is needless,
says a Cincinnati authority, who tells
you that a quarter ounce of a drug
called freezone can be obtained at lit
tie cost from the drug store but is
sufficient to nd ones feet Of every
hard or soft corn or callous.
You simply apply q few drops of
freezone on tender, aching corn and
soreness is instantly relieved. Short
ly the entire corn can be lifted out,
root and all, without pain.
This drug is sticky but dries at once
and is claimed to just shrivel up any
corn without inflaming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or skin.
If your wife wears high heels she
will be glad to know of this.-AdY.

GERMANY'S GREAT PREPARA-
TIONS.

A1rplanes are primarily OftenSive-their
purpose IS to direct gunhre against the
enemy's positions. Announcement that
Germany is planning to put $500 airplanes
on the battle line next spring, therefore in
dlcates artillery preparation OH supreme
scale and should disillusion those who have
been predicting a speedy crumbling of the
kalser'S power.
During the first two years Of the war,
when Germany was overrunning our allies
territory, we were told, time and again,
that military success could not be measured
by the acre. Now that the Germans have
evacuated over a thousand square miles OF
territory in northern France and are yield
ing to the pressure in Belgium, we should
not forget this
Germany, fighting on the defensive, With
her supplies most cConomicallv grouped
behind her own lines, has necessarily sui

port munitions and men thousands Of
miles, conquer the Alps and brave the dan
gers of the sea
That is why Germany is so strong
relatively stronger than her enemies. and
lighting something approaching equal
terms, although tremendously outnum-
bcrcd; that is why Our task of reducing
Germany is such formidable one
1t matters not how far back the German
lines are pushed, or how fast. Germany
will not be conquered until Germany is
exhausted.
To the development of the airpIanc ser
vice, America and Our allies are now direct
ing particular attention. so that there is
every reason to believe Germanv's swarms
will be overwhelmed and her guns blinded
AS with Germany so with America the dc
velOpmcnt of aviation means a correspond
ing development OF artillery, and of course,
infantry
The world will see some great things
when next the sunbeams put to flight the
winters snow. when flowers throw their
spring-time mantle across the battle front,
when birds sing their nesting song. It will
see an American army beyond all cXpccta-
tons; it will see cannon almost wheel to
wheel behind our lines; it will see battles
in the air on an unprecedented scale. and
unbelievable mining operations This may
be the end of Germany, but it may be lust
the first of the great crushing drives that
will be necessary before autoCracv is finally
