Our Country Calls

There was never a bushel of grain
stored in an elevator but that was
first stored in the soil. Man lifts
it into the elevator, but God first
placed it in the land. Elevators
have limited capacities. The ware
houses of the soil are endless. All
the Creator asks of man is that he
intelligently take it and provident.
ly use it. Having peopled the
world, He laid by provision for
the world. Not for men to grasp
and hold, but to be gathered for
the people of the world. Man
may own land, but not contrary to
His purpose, nor to withhold from
the nation in the hour of the ma
tons need. AS proprietors of land
we are but trustees of that which
the land contains. When man
kind needs it, when our country
calls for it, cur first duty is to pro-
vide it. Surely the time is here
when we should respond, Loyalty
to our country and faithfully to
Him, to duty so sacred. Marve-
lous are the ways of divine law.
There is plenty for all in the un-
seen stores of the land. There lies
victory for our country and liber-
ty. The pillow is the key OF the
gate leading to it. Our country
calls. What shall the answer be ?

CORN WILL WIN

Americas Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to

Surplus Wheat Of the Unltsd States
Has Seen Sent to Famine Threat

Americas great corn crop, exceed
ing 5000. O00. 900 bushels, will save the
worlds food situation, officials Of the
United States food administration b.
lieve.
Corn is the nations best food cereal.
housewives are beginning to realize.
1t contains all the elements needed to
keep the body In q state Of health and
when used according to the scores Of
tried recipes, especially when com
bined 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
11ne, and at Valley Forge parched
corn vas at times the sole ration Of
~ DETRIMENTAL 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 %
bushels Of corn for every American.
This quantity IL greater by I'VE BUSH
els than In former years.
Corn has become the nations main
stay In the crisis Of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American colonists from famine on
many occasions, just as it served as Q
staple food during the War of the Rev
olution and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come to the front In
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
Cd 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
-four to make leavened bread. This
kind Of q mixture IL worked and baked
In the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
Corn bread-using corn meal entire
H|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
ening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use in the kitchen instead Of
granulated sugar Is one of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn oil, excellent for frying and for
every other purpose filed by salad oils,

LILIES OF PEACE

LILIES OF PEACE
o! beautiful Easter lilies that open
your hearts today
In the dusk of the proud cathedral,
or the village chapel gray,
I look on your creamy petals and
your buds of pearl and snow,
And think of the sitting trenches
Der the wide Atlantic's flow,
Where the Soldiers wounded and
weary, mistaken and unshorn
Crouched like beasts in their bur-
rows, wake to the Easter morn.
And their only Easter anthem is the
rumbling cannon wheel,
And in place of Easter lilies are rows
of cruel steel,
| think of the ruined alters with
broken debris strewn,
The roofless walls that totter agape
to sun and moon,
The bells in the battered towers that
hang so sad and still,
The silent pipes of the organs, the
darkness and the chill,
The empty allies and the silence where
ono the music poured,
In a silver flood of gladness to greet
the risen Lord.
And kneeling among the lilies fra
grant and pure and fair.
The white and wonderous lilies,
I breathe an Easter prayer.
Lord of the Easter morning, in thy
compassion great,
Bind up the bleeding nations and
cleanse their souls of HATE.
To Europe's war-worn people their
ravaged homes restore.
And bid the fields of battle grow
bright with flowers once more;
And let these Easter lilies that glo-
riously unfold,
Beneath the painted windows of
saints in blue and gold,
From snow capped Fujiama to purple
isles of Greece
Bear through the world a message
of everlasting peace.

SOCIETY. CLUBS, LODGES, CHURCHES
Here and There Over the State


Where Terror Reigned Supreme
Every patriotic woman and girl
who has attended the lectures deliv-
cred from time to time in this CITY
by men and women from the front
and all those who read the articles
relating the horrible German methods
Of war, are not true blue Ameri-
cans if they permit pro-German talk
in their presence, or hearing of such
do not investigate and report same
Immediately.
1t is inconceivable how any en-
lightened woman or girl can be a
German sympathizer after hearing Of
! the revolving and barbarous crimes
committed by the German soldiers
in some instances to horrible to pub
fish. Women, girls and babes have
been the victims. :
Never before in the history of all
the world have such fiendish crimes
been committed by human beings.
In recalling the events do not forget
the hundreds of babes and little
children that have been murdered
and manned for life by these des-
picable inhuman creatures. Remen-
Der too that if the Kaiser and his
armies ever get to this country they
will likewise deal with us. 1t is well
for every woman and girl to bear this
fact in mind.
Germany's mania in this war for
destruction has been so thorough that
every thing in the path of its armies
has been completely destroyed. En-
tire cities and prosperous villages
have passed into oblivion. Not ven
a tree remains to tell of the terror
that reigned supreme in the unfor-
tunate regions.
All that now remains of the once
beautiful country of Belgium is q
wilderness, composed mainly OF
great mounds of earth, ashes, rocks
wire, iron and empty shells, inter-
laced by deep, shifting trenches. 1t
does not seem possible that human
beings can ever dwell again in such
a place, or that bright flowers will
ever grow on the fields of destruction
and battle. where countless tears
have been shed and helpless mothers
and little children have been murder
ed, where the very ruins reflect the
pain of human woe and the air itself
will hold the memory of human suf-
fering.
Don't Ask About 1t
The editor of the Des Moines
Swastika says:
"We have cut off our whiskers.
it happened last week. Here's why.
A long haired gezaboo approached
us and asked us what church we
were pastor Of Now we have been
mistaken for a CRATER. a lawyer, a
doctor and even a newspaper mas,
but never before had we been mis-
taken for a preacher. Out of defe-
renee to the cloth we cut off the
whiskers. So don't ask us about it.
We are going to do without whisk-
ers.
