corn was at times the sole ration OF

Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now, however. the cereal
is reaching the millers and consumers.
In tile meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
a Today there are approximately ~
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by Ave bush

Corn has become the nations main

Corn meal is finding greatly increas-

many OF the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent corn meal with wheat
flour to make leavened bread. This

III the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
Corn bread-using corn meal entire,

than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound OF

wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America is associ-

Hayakawa is featured as member of

''The Secret Game" is an entertain

are successful hunts for codes which

Rations.


Just DOING of; Mr.. Lance Corporal
butted in.
In Tommy's eyes lance corporal is
one degree below a private. In the
corporal's eyes he is one degree above
general.
He ordered me to go with him and
help him draw the next days rations.
also told me to take my waterproof.
Every evening, from each platoon or
machine-gun section. a lance corporal
and private 60 to the quartermaster
sergeant at the company stores and
draw rations for the following day.
The quarter" as the quartermaster
sergeant is called. receives daily from
the orderly room Captains off1ce) q
slip showing the number Of men en-
titled to rations. so there is no chance
of putting anything over on him. Many
arguments take place between the
@'quarter" and the platoon noncom, but
the former always wins out. Tommy
says the Quarter" got his job because
he was burglar in civil life.
Then spread the Waterproof sheet
on the ground, while the quartermas-
ter's batman dumped the rations on it.
The corporal was smoking flag. I
carried the rations back to the billet.
The corporal was still smoking flag.

CHAPTER W.-continued.

After dinner I tried to wash out
the dixie with cold water and rag,
and learned another maxim of the
trenches-''1t can't be DONE" slyly
watched one of the older men from
another section, and was Mortified to
see him throw into his dixie four or
five double handfuls of mud. Then he
poured in some water, and with his
hands secured the dixie inside and out.
I thought he was taking an awful risk.
Surprising the cook should have seen
him! After half an hour Of unsuc-
cessful efforts returned my dixie to
the cook shack, being careful to put on
the cover, and returned to the billet.
Pretty soon the cook poked his head
in the door and shouted: "Hey, Yank,
come out here and clean your dixie!"
I protested that had wasted half
hour on it already, and had used up
my only remaining shirt in the at
tempt. With look of disdain he ex-
claimed: BLOW me, your shirt! Why
in - didn't you use mud?"
Without word in reply got busy
with the mud, and soon my dixie was
bright and shining.
Most of the afternoon was spent by
the men writing letters home. I used
my spare time to chop wood for the
cook and go with the quartermaster to
draw coal. I got back just in time to
issue our third meal, which consisted
of hot tea. rinsed out my dixie and
returned it to the cookhouse, and went
back to the billet with an exlilarated
feeling that my days labor was done.
I had fallen asleep on the straw when
once again the cook appeared in the
door Of the billet with: "Blime me, you
Yanks are lazy. Who in a-goin' to
draw the water for the mornin' tea?
Do you think I'm a-goin' to? Well,
I'm not" and he left. filled the dixie
with water from an old squeaking we'll,
and once again lay down in the straw.
Sioux County pioneer. (Fort Yates, Sioux County, N.D.) 1914-1929, 1918-04-11

How envied him. But when the issue
commenced my envy died. and real
lied that the first requisite of nom
commissioned officer on active service
is diplomacy. There were 10 men in
our section, and they soon formed a
semicircle around us after the corporal
had called out. "Rations up"
The quartermaster sergeant had
given a slip to the corporal on which
was written list Of the rations. Sit
ting on the floor, using a wooden box
as table, the issue commenced. On
the left Of the corporal the rations
were piled. They consisted of the fol-
lowing:
Six loaves Of fresh bread, each loaf
Of different size, perhaps one out of
the six being as fiat as pancake, the
result of an army service corps man
placing box of bully beef on 1t dur
ing transportation.
Three tins of jam, one apple and the
other two plum.
Seventeen Bermuda onions, all diff
ferent sizes.
A piece of cheese in the shape Of q
wedge.
Two one-pound tins of butter.
A handful Of raisins.
A tin Of biscuits, or as Tommy calls
them "jaw breakers"
A bottle Of mustard pickles.
The "bully beef" spuds. condensed
milk, fresh meat, bacon and "Macono-
chic rations" "a can filed with meat,
vegetables and greasy water), had been
turned over to the company cook to
make stew for next days dinner. He
also received the tea, sugar, salt, pep.
per and -four.
Scratching his head. the corporal
studied the slip issued to him by the
quarter. Then in slow, mystifled
voice he read out, ''No. 1 section, IL
men. Bread, loaves, six" He looked
puzzled and soliloquized in musine
voice:
"Six loaves, nineteen men. Let's see
that's three in a loaf for fifteen men
we'll, to make It even, four Of you'll
have to muck In on one loaf"
The four that got stuck made howl
but to no avail. The bread was dished
out. Pretty soon from a far corner OF
the billet, three indignant Tommies &c
costed the corporal with:
"What do you call this, loaf OF
bread? Looks more like snipine
plate"
The corporal answered:
"Well, don't blame me, didn't bake
It; somebody's got to get it, SO shut
up until I dish out these blinkin' "a
tions."
Then the corporal started on the
jam.
Jam. three tins-apple one, plum
two. Nineteen men, three tins. Siz
in tin makes twelve men for two tins
seven in the remaining tin"
He passed around the jam, and
there was another riot. Some didn't
like apple. while others who received
plum were partial to apple. After 8
while differences were adjusted anG
the issue went on.
| Bermuda onions. seventeen"
The corporal avoided q row by say
ing that he did not want an onion, ant
said they make your breath smell, 81
guessed would do without one too
The corporal looked his gratitude.
