CORRAL THE MAVERICKS

Out in the western COW country this
is the season of the roundup, when
the mavericks-calves and yearlings
and occasionally older outlaw animals
that haven't yet felt the sting of the
iron-are corralled and branded. It
is the busy season on the range. In
cidentally ii is season of holiday, of
rough riding and roping, time When
the cow-puncher's abilities are
brought most keenly to the test.
And very soon we will be in the
midst of the roundup season of Uncle
Sans Fourth Liberty Loan.
For there is a tremendous lot of
mavericks roaming around loose on
Uncle's Sans range-folks who
haven't yet invested in a Liberty
Bond.
Corral them, fellows! Round them
upl
This isn't a time when Uncle Sam
can afford to let anyone escape play
ing his part in the great game of
world liberation. 1t isn't time when
any red blooded man or woman cares
to be listed as failing in his duty. 1t
isn't a time when one can look the
world in the face and play false to his
country and his protectors at the
front. -
Now is 1t time when anyone with
the least spark of loyalty in his make
up will long resist the comnelling ar
gument that may be made in behalf of
a Liberty Bond.
And there is n big list of non-in-
vestors to be interviewed; folks who
from one reason or another haven't
bought.
It's up to us to corral them.

"GLASS" IN BREAD

When the use of wheat substitutes
in bakers bread became general CON
siderable agitation was aroused by re-
ports that consumers were finding
ground glass in bread. From time to
time such reports are likely to persist
owing to the fact that the same condi-
tons will probably continue. In view
Of this 1t is of considerable interest
to review the bulletin published by
the Indiana State Council of Defense
under the supervision of DR.. II. e,
Barnard explaining just why these
erroneous reports were circulated.
This bulletin says that almost with
out exception authorities have been
unable to verify the rumors of glass
in bread, and in endeavoring to eX-
plain this exhaustive Investigations
and experiments were made. The bull
letin says: e,
Corn flour under the miscroscope
shows many hard, flinty pieces of the
endosperm GERM, which have very
CLASSY appearance. When baked in
quick oven some of these particles re-
tain their glasslike appearance,
though in the ordinary PROCESS of
baking this appearance is lost. This
is the explanation given by experts
employed by the International Union
of Baker and Confectionery Workers,
"In bran fiours a nervous person
might easilyl fancy that particles of
the hard outer husk were glass. An
dextrine sometimes solidifes into a
hard, transparent mass, which might
be mistaken for glass.
'SThe natural conclusion is that
most of the people who reported hav-
ing found glass in their bread were
deceived by the appearance of the
new materials"

 I played around a great church build ing that was going up in country town. One day I asked the contract or how long it would be before the building would be complete. He re-
 piled that it would require about ten
 years to complete it, on account of the church's lack of immediate funds. Just across the public square a huge stone front building for hardware firm was being completed. Now here was congregation of about four hun dred good, honest church people who could not raise enough money to build their edifce, while within few hum dred yards were three wellknown sin ners who had raised an amount equal to the cost of the church, and had their building delivered to them com. plete in every detail in three months.

Mexicans Celebrate
 The residents of Morenci were awak ened at an early hour Monday morn ing to the strains of the Mexican National Anthem, the occasion being the Mexican National Independence Day, September 18th. A parade led by the Mexican Boys Band formed at the A. c. hospital and marched along the new road to the old rink and from the rink to the plaza. On the plaza a large platform and band stand had been erected which was very neatly decorated with the Am- erican and Mexican colors. Here the boys band gave concert which lasted until about 11:30. On account of the needs of the United States for copper, the managers could not de clare holiday on this day, and all mines worked as usual, only small percentage of the men not showing up for work.
 The real celebration started at S:S0 in the afternoon, when all the miners came off shift. The program consis- ted of music, speeches and singing which lasted until about ten o'clock ted of music, speeches and singing, in the evening. The platform was then cleared of all chairs and benches and "baile" was put on. The large platform being too small for all who wished to dance, the Morenci Club was thrown open and the overflow from the main dance, danced In the Club auditorium and reading room. The usual fights and disturbances at tending an affair of this kind were ab- sent and very good order prevailed throughout the day and evening of the celebration.

Almost any hour of the night this variety of in- struments is keeping up a continual flow of would-be music.
