GRANDEUR OF LIFE

The best thing a man can do with
his life is to give it to a great cause,
says a noble writer. Of course, the
proposition involves the breaking Of
heartstrings, but that usually attends
a great cause. 1t is too big a matter
for the mind to tackle. eff a man
dies shall he live again." does not
solve the problem. The whole solu-
ton is in the soul, which can only
hope, aspire and feel the spirit, as it
leads far out from life, and it is the
grandeur of a man that he can fall
back upon the confidence that these
ideals create. In these perilous times
there is no sense in discussing disbe-
lief or the trust of the soul for better
things farther on. The grandeur of
life is in the mystery of eternity and
faith in loving God who. will solve
the mystery by and by. The more
practical thing of the day is to think
on these things and make them a part
of the duty that presses upon us all.
They belong to the religion of hero
ism," as Coningsby Dawson calls it.

BREAD IN FRENCH REVOLU-
TON

Thus said Madame de Bourrienne,
writing in 1895, says the Northwest
ern Miller:
cat this time we saw him (Napole-
on) almost every day. He frequently
came to dine was us. AS there was a
scarcity of bread, and sometimes only
two ounces a head daily were distrib-
uted in the section, it was customary
to request ones guests to bring their
own bread, as it could not be procured
for money.

GERARD ON GERMANY

elf the allied line on the Marine
should break and give way to the
German onslaught, warfare would be
brought to American Shores" was the
declaration of James w. Gerard, in
an address the other day.
''In 1915, Admiral Won Tirpitz an
nounced that within two months after
the Inauguration OF unrestricted sub
marine warfare, England would be
starved into submission, Germany
would take over the entire British
navy, man it with German sailors and
sail for America; and from that rich,
fat coward would be collected the
wealth to pay for all the expenses of
the war;" continued Mr.. Gerard.
Americans didn't realize the atti
tude of Germany toward this country,
said Mr.. Gerard. They had been
lulled to a false sense of security by
the German propaganda which has
been instilled in them through their
own textbooks in the schools, through
the newspapers and other sources. for
the past twenty-five years, to make
the Germans in America forget why

The Joys of Boyhood

It's swimming time in Savinaw, and
gaily | will go
To get blister on my back, a stone
bruise on my toe;
A million chiggers, more or less, and
woodticks, on my hide;
And crack my head upon a rock when

And then at last I'll don my buds, and
toward the sunset roam,
To get whipping for my fun when |
at length reach home.

USE OF VICTORY
FLOUR is URGED

The use Of Victory Mixed Flour
now is being urged by the oklahoma
food administration as a result Of u
new wheat conservation program
which has been outlined by Herbert
Hoover in message to G. b. Ames,
federal food administrator for Okla
homa.
Among other things the new rules
which went into effect September T.,
abolishes the $3.50 rule OF selling -four
and wheat substitutes, do away with
the sixpound per person limit Oh flour
purchases and dispense with wheat
less meals and wheatless days
In place Of the $3.50 rule there now
is an 5000 regulation, which requires
the purchase OF 20 per cent OF cereals
other than wheat IN the buying of
white -four Preferably this should be
done through the marketing Of q
mixed flour which will be available for
household use
is desired to insure a supply OF
ready mixed hours on the market, and
70 have millers and dealers of all kinds
encourage the use and sale OF thia
-four so that the country may be on
mixed flour basis without the neces-
stiy Of retailers making combination
seles OF -four and substitutes.
All such mixed fours made accord
ing to the following regulations should
be labeled Victory Mixed Flour" and
are to be labeled with the ingredients
in order of their proportion The fiours
so mixed must be milled in accordance
with the standards Of the United
States food administration No
"Alixed Flours' (except pancake
fiours) shall be made or manufactured
except in the exact proportions as out
lined below:
Mixed Wheat and Barley Flour shall
be in the proportion of@four pounds of
wheat to one pound Of barley Aoar.
Mixed Wheat and Corn Flour shalll
contain the proportion of four bounds
of wheat -four t. one pound Of corn
hour
Mixed Wheat, Barley and Corn
Flour shall contain the proportions Of !
eight pounds wheat -four to one pound /
barley and ono pound corn -four.
Mixed Wheat and Rye Flour shall
contain the proportion Of three pounds |
of wheat -four and not less than two
pounds of rye flour.
Whole Wheat, Entire Wheat, or
Graham Flour or Meal shall contain at
least IS per cent OF the wheat berry.
All these Victory Flours" may be
sold without substitutes, but at no
greater price than the miller, whole,
saler or retail dealer than in the case
Of standard wheat -four.
While the six-pound limit has been |
done away with. it should be carried |
in mind that the rule against boarding
still is in effect. This allows no pur /
chase of more than a thirty y-day's food |
supply to be made and this rule will |
be enforced rigidly, according to
