FACE the FACTS

T EFT face the facts. The situation is critical.
- Unless the Allies fight as they never yet have
fought defeat threatens Hungry men cannot fight
at their best; nor hungry nations. France, England,
and Italy going hungry unless we feed them.
Wheat Savings-They must have wheat. It is the
best food to fight 1t is the easiest to ship: We
less than quarter of what we ate last year-we
support those who fighting our battles. And we
can do it without stnting ourselves we have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn of Plenty-Corn is that food. There's
surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the
hour of need 1t has given us corn in such bounty
as was known before. Tons of corn. Train
loads of corn. Five hundred million bushels over and
above our regular needs All we have to do is to
learn appreciate it. Was patriotic duty made
easy? And so clear?
America. Own Food-Cornl It is the true American
food. The Indians hardest of races, lived it.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered q
has bong cen the staff of life. How Well the South
fought on it, history tells. Now it can help America
win a world
Learn Somethng-Corn 1t isn't food It's a
dozen. It's a cereal. It's vegetable. It's a bread
It's dessert It's nutritious; food value in it,
vegetables it's good to eat; how good you don't
Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic.
Corn's Infinite Variety-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 few

Several hundred of these tanks led
the counter offensive from the Viii
lers-Gotterets forest in July, which
marked what appears to have been
the turning point Of the war.
They broke through the enemy's
lines, destroying his machine guns
sections, overcoming strong centers
of resistance and spreading panic and
generalization in the Germans ranks.
Wherever the infantry was pre-
coded by the "charsed ASSENT as the
French call them, the advance was
three miles day.
1t was there same French light
tanks" which preceded the Aemicans
in their advance upon Juvigny and
Terny on the scissors plateau. One
of them, manned by lieutenant,
killed more than 200 Germans on the
plateau.
Documents that have come into the
hands of the French staff show that
the Germans are greatly worried by
the tight tanks and are studiously
coaching their men in methods of de-
Tense against them.
The light cars have the advantage
Of greater speed and Of being more
easily handled than the heavier tanks
They require a crew of only two men,

blood to poison the entire system.
