Mrs. Anna Gradin, mother of Private

public memorial in honor of her hero

able to public memorial service if it
is generally preferred although the
clergyman already had planned men,
orial services to be held in the First

Mrs. Gradin is Frustrated by her
grief today and was not in a condition

Whether the services are held at
Private SpetZ's former church or in

that there will be general union OF
patriotic Bismarck citizens in honor
of their soldier dead. The Capital |

The people OF this town, who a few

extended their hospitality in the last
few days to nearly 500 men from the

Calgarian was torpedoed in the late
afternoon not far from the place where
the Tuscania met her doom.
The ships bell had just sounded 4

parched corn alone for many days at a

In the meantime the nations surplus

Today there are approximately 30
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity Is greater by five bush

Corn has become the nations maip-

Corn has again come to the front In
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
ed use In the making OF ordinary white
bread. Hundreds of housewives and
many Of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent. corn meal with wheat

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
ly--is gaining a greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound OF
wheat saved In America means a pound
| of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America Is associ-
ated In the war.
There are a score Of corn products
that today possess unusual importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet

MADE.IN.GERMANY lies
CIRCULATED IN CANADA

Canada Is also having trouble with
Made-in Germany lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation ac-
cording to an official statement re-
ceived from the Canadian food con-
troller by the United States food ad-
ministration.
The stories bothering Canada are
of the same general character as those
the United States food administra-
tor recently denounced In this coun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
housewives stocks Of home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti-
mates that when the people listen to
end pass on such stories, each one
has the power Of destruction that lies
In a battalion Of soldiers.
"Stories without even a vestige of
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement.
"Nor have they come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously In
different parts of the country and In
| each instance have been calculated to
arouse public indignation.
"They are insidious, subtle, persist
emit. Bit by bit they dissipate public
| trust, the great essential In the work
Of food control.
ut lies with every individual to for
bear from criticism; to refrain from
| passing on the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
| to cooperate in work which Is going
to mean more than the majority OF
people yet realize"

BRITISH government
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program In
England. II Is true that the English
man buys q loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but 1t Is poorer
bread, and the British government Is
paying s200,000,000 a year toward the
cost of II.
All the grain grown In Great Brit
ain Is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This is
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at a price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf OF four pounds
to sell at Is cents. the two pound loaf
at 8 cents and the n pound loaf at 8
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger ex-
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
16 cents.

NEED BIC HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depicted live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Eve,
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their hocks and
herds In order to meet Europe's tre-
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
aftsrward.
The United States food admins
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown a disposition to
cooperate with the government In In
creasing the nations supply Of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9th
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle In the Invaded
territory - approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But In England-where 100000
acres of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain ields-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One of the
reasons apparently Is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
s17.76 per 100 pounds October, $17.2S
November and December, $18.0S jan
larry, $14.40. The effect of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as o as possible.
In France the number Of cattle as
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the a
Where France had 14,807 900 head of
cattle In 1913, she now has only ~
341 900, a decrease Of 1915 per cent.
And France is today producing only
one gallon OF milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because OF the lack Of necessary feed.
Close study Of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Adj
ministration that the future problem
of America lies largely In the produc-
ton of meat producing animals and
! dairy products rather than In the pro-
! duction OF cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.

FACE the FACTS
u. S. FOOD ADMINISTRATION

7 EFT us face the facts. The war situation is critical.
l. Unless the Allies fight as they never yet have
fought, defeat threatens. hungry men cannot ngnt
at their best; nor hungry nations. France, England,
and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them.
Wheat sayinss-They must have wheat. It is the
best food to fight on. 1t is the easiest to ship. we
alone can spare it to them. By saving just a little
less than a quarter of what we ate last year-we can
support those who are fighting our battles. And we
can do it without stinting ourselves. We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn of Plenty-Corn is that food. There's a
surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the
hour of our need. 1t has given US corn in such bounty
as was never known before. Tons of corn. Train.
loads of corn. Five hundred million bushels over and
learn to appreciate it. Was ever patriotic duty made
so easy? And so clear?
Americas Own Food-Corn! It is the true American
food The Indians, hardest lest Of Of races ICE lived n on it,
continent. For a great section OF our country It
has blong cen the staff of life. How well the South
fought on it. history tells. Now it can help America
win a world war.
Learn something-Corn 1t isn't one food. It's a
dozen. It's a cereal. It's a vegetable. It's a bread.
It's a dessert. It's nutritious; more food value in it,
dollar for dollar, than meat or eggs or most other
vegetables. It's good to eat; how good you don't
know until you've had corn-bread properly cooked.
Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic.
Corn. Infinite v.riety-How much do you know about
corn? About how good it is? About the many
delicious ways of cooking it? And what you miss
by not knowing more about it? Here are q few
of its uses.
There are at least fifty ways to use corn meal to
make good dishes for dinner, supper. lunch or break
fast. Here are some suggestions:
HOT BREADS DESSERTS
Boston brown bread. Corn-meal molasses cake.
Hoecake. Apple corn bread.
Mullins. Dumplings.

over term of years, tho question Is
whether there is capacity in tho German
capital to meet this, save by production
of goods which would compete with the

alternatives would appear TO be whether
as a result Of her commitments to pay

such competition and production Of
