CORN WILL WIN
DEM0CRACY'SW WAR
Americas Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to
Market.
NAINSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat Of the United States
Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
ened Europe.

---.vrI~u7s great corn crop, exceSss
ing 3.0O0,0O00OO bushels, will save tho
worlds food situation, officials of the
United States food administration be-
lieve.
Corn is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
1t contains all the elements needed to
keep the body In state of health and
when used according to the scores Of
tried recipes, especially when COM
biBed with an added portion of oil or
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In
dian warriors in colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days at a
time, and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration Of
the Continental soldiers.
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 the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe
Today there are approximately 80
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by five BUSH
els than in former years.
Corn has become the nations main
stay In the crisis of war.

American colonists from famine on
many occasions. just as 1t served as
staple food during the War Of the Rev

Corn has again come to the front in
the nations battle with autocracy.
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
kind of a mixture is worked and baked
in the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
Corn bread-using corn meal entire

"CUFFER Little Children to come unto me- de-
~ clared the compassionate Christ.
But never since He dwelt in flesh upon the earth
have there been many Little Children in need OF
compassion now.
There are the Little Children" who have gone to
France for you and me and for Christendom and by
going have given their all. Can you do less? Shall
you keep from your boy your neighbours boy that
which is symbolic of the Compassionate One by neg
lecting the call of the Red Cross Mother?
Then there the uncounted Little Children"
of allies who have fallen wounded and i'll in de-
tense of their home fires. Who but the Red Cross
Mother r:i know the suffering, the anguish, of the
SHELTON thirst-strcken soldier who lies upon the
ghost!y bed of No Mans Land? Will you deny him
the lte-giving cup?
Think also of the Little Children" of devastated
lands Some are Little Children" in size and tender
years Others, alas, mature in stature and age
but none the less Little Children" in their helpless
ness-their abject need. Can in our plenty with
hold from them the bare bread of existence? Can
we still our inner voice with the thought that others
will bear burden when in heart we must
know that there others?
The Red Cross helps one who does not need
help hundred times than we need the money
Therefore, let give, give until we feel it, give until
it pinches. Then and only then shall know that
we have indeed offered the Little Children" Of the
war the tender compassion of a nation.

almost anything that he may have for

Probably the most valuable part of the
Red Cross canteen service work is the
effect Of the smile and cheer from the
women who are In charge. Soldiers
write frequently such messages as the
following, indicating their apprecia-

work:
"The Red Cross of Chicago met us
with coffee, sandwiches and post cards.

ing the same. Chicago sure is big

There are now more than 500 Of
these Red Cross canteens or refresh
ment units located at the important
railroad centers In the United States.
Every commander of troop train has
list Of these canteens, so that he can
call upon the Red Gross for this serv-
ice at these stations en- route.

ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL,

A general idea of the quantity of
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July l, 1914, to
January l, 1913, is given by figures
just announced by the U. S. Food Ad-
ministration. In that period the Unit
ed States has furnished complete year.
ly rations for 57,1OO,933 people. In
addition there was enough extra pro-
TEN to supply this portion of the diet
for q. 194570 additional men.
The total export of wheat and wheat
-four to the three principal allies il
equivalent to about 1874, 000, 900 bushels.
Pork exports for the 31s years amount
ed to almost 100000, 900 pounds. Elk
ports of fresh beef totaled AZ, 4S4, 400
pounds. The. amount of food exported
to Russia Is negligible compared VITA
that sent to the western allies.

The Herald would like to see law
enacted to abolish that title of adj
dress to pre- siding judges of His
Honor" and require all courts to in
struct their audiences to that effect
that it has been banned in the in
terest OF ripper democracy in our
country like BE it enacted bv the
Legislature" was recently changed to
BE it enacted BY THE PEOPLE in the
forefront of each bill in our state leg
islature. The title His Honor is
a relic of the days of royalty handed
down through the decades in which
we have gotten away from dukes and
barons, counts and baronets, and
while England still clings to her
Lords, let America do away with
these old acclusions and sweep such
expressions of obeisance out of the
mouths of free people. We can
Still render sufficient respect and
maintain the dignity of a court by

pie title of Judge" in the court

1T is standing accepted truelsm
by religionists, that every meeting
which person attends makes them
better or worse. Either draws them
closer TO God or drives them farther
off by showing them clearer their
guilty distance from the Savior.
Even SO it can also be written of a
sitting of Circuit court which is to
enforce the criminal law of a county
Either the county is benefited for
the observance of law and order or
else criminals are encouraged by
their class in some way having
slipped through the meshes of the
law and gone un whipt of Justice for
their misdeeds, and become en-
boldened to commit crimes hitherto
FROM which they have been re
strained from fear of the LAWS
heavy hand descending upon them.
So as each court term make its his
tory in this respect as crime deter
rent or else crime encourager,-ln
that way will it be judged bv the sell
dom unfalteriug judgment of the cit
izenship of the county IN which it
has sat. The Herald has heard a
great many expressions about this
court along the lines in which we
write. We have not time nor space
to give the several views expressed
but are merely opening up the SUBJ
ject as it has been opened to us, to
show that it is matter for careful
reflection to decide if our criminal
laws are being enforced as they
should be by the courts in session
and we are not throwing off on any
BODY; or charging u dereliction OF du
ty but merely pointing to the need of
consideration at this point and call
ing attention to condition of the
inquiry of the public mind or atten-
ton to such consideration.

Red Cross played in this stupendous
tragedy will go down In the history of

ing properties to
take the place of
those we are denying ourselves.
Milk and its products contain GER
tain growth stimulating body building
properties not found in any other
foods. The wise use of fluid milk
should be encouraged, especially for
children. By SO doing the child may
be given the most nourishment 1t may
receive by using the products which
are generally available throughout the
country.
The increase in milk production in
this country Is quite marked during
the last year 1t Is not food which ia
being exported In increasing quantities
and the condensing factories are not
consuming any more milk than they
did previous to 1917.
The care with which the American
people are conserving animal life, par
ticularly the heifer calves, is an indi.
cation that the milk production will
continue to increase In this country
for some time to come. and it is the
desire of the Food Administrator that
the people pay particular attention ia
the consumption of milk and its pro
ducts. For the purpose of stimulating
growth, butter fats and other constit.
uents of milk have no substitutes
Therefore, parents owe to themselves
and their families the duty of provid-
ing the requisite amount of milk, but.
ter, cheese and other dairy products.
In spite of the shortage of milk in
Germany. that country has at all haa
ards maintained the milk rations OF
the children and In the hospitals, even
though to do so the adult population
has had to forego largely its use. In
the safety first health campaign II
must be remembered that it should
be children first.
Mississippi has remarkable oppor.
tunity to produce more milk, as the
pastures and forage are unequalIed in
any other state in the Union. A little
care in providing COW will produce
= great deal of food for the family.
