MAKING MEATLESS
DAYS PERMANENT.

In the meatless menu there is q fer
tile field for developing new and nour-
ishing dishes. according to e. H. Niles,
writing In the Hotel Gazette, who be-
lieves that the present shortage of
meat and fats will not end with the
coming Of peace, but may grow more
acute and continue for FIVE or six
years, thus making 1t worth while to
develop menus Of grain, vegetables
and fish on q more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods, or may be
served In very small portions as a fla
voring for other food. In making up
meatless menus this author finds our

MADE.IN- GERMANY LIES
CIRCULATED IN CANADA

Canada Is also having trouble with
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
the United States food administra-
tor recently denounced In this coun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
bIueing 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
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power of destruction that lies
in 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
ent. 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"

CORN WILL Win
DEM0CRACY'SW WAR
Americas Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to
Market.
MAlNSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat Of the United States
Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
ened Europe.

Americas great corn crop, exceed
ing 3,OOO,OOO,OOO bushels, will save the
worlds food situation, officials of the
United States food administration be-
lieve.
Corn Is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
1t contains all the elements needed to
keep the body in 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 a
time, and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration of
the Continental 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 30
bushels OF corn for every American
This quantity is greater by five 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
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-
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
flour to make leavened bread. This
kind of 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 greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound of
wheat saved in America means 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
granulated sugar is one Of the leading
products made from corn.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

Now that the government has
the railroads of the country, the
attention of the public Is leaping
forward to the possible contingency
Of government ownership. Already
the management Of the roads have
conceded that this would probably
come, and express themselves as
desiring such an outcome.
There are many of the American
people who believe that the govern
ment must eventually control all
public utilities. Most people. how
ever, require to be shown, and
will watch with keen interest the
results Of the present move. II
the government can demonstrate its
ability to bring order out of the
present chaos of transportation
conditions, it will go long way
toward convincing the doubling
Thomases among us, and the step
from government control to gov
ernment ownership may be short
one and easily taken.
There are a number of features
of the present control which, ii
successfully worked out, will clear
ly demonstrate the ability Of the
government to handle the huge
problem. Foremost among these is
the matter of labor. For a num-
Der Of years now the operatives
have been consolidating their craft
organizations and of late have pre-
sented almost solid front to the
management, so that any demand
of theirs inevitably assumed the
aspect OF threat. And threat
from them, the management knew
to be fraught with grave danger.
1t will be interesting to watch
the progress of the government In
handling this huge army OF thor
oughly organized workers. The
railroads themselve have failed in
the task; can Uncle Sam succeed?
When President Wilson pro-
claimed the roads under govern
ment control, there was pending
before the management demand
from the men for something like
40 per cent raise OF wages. This
the roads have promptly shifted to
the shoulders of the government.
Will the demand be granted; and
If not, will the men have the
nerve to press their demand? 1t
this transpires, what will he the
governments action?
Government policy in other lines
of control has not been at all ia
vorable to labor organizations. For
some time now the railroad heads
have contended that the demands
of the men were unreasonable.
Uncle Sam is a liberal paymaster.
but should his view coincide with
that of the management, the men
may find that their attitude in the
past has been a large factor In
shifting them from the frying pan
into the fire.

PHILIP FIREMEN SET the PACE.
LOCAL Department FIRST TO C0NTRI-
Butte TO FIRE FIGHTERS FUND --GlvEA.
SPECIL MENTION BY n. Y. PAPER.

The Philip Volunteer Fire De-
partment may feel proud of the
fact that their donation sent to
the New York headquarters for
the relief of fatherless French
boys and girls, was the first to
be received and home boys have
set the pace for all the depart
ments in the United States. The
matter was given special men
ton in the Fireman's Herald, a
paper published in New York, a
portion of which is reproduced
below:
This charity not only saves
little boys and girls from being
thrown on the world after they
have suffered the trouble and
misfortune of losing their father
in the noblest of causes; it does
more, it saves the "home," makes
not merely the children but the
widowed mother happy, and as
sures them that across the sea
they have well-wishers who in
tend to see to it that the sacrifi
ces they have made for patriot
ism shall not have been in vain"
1T was with some such thots
as these that the members of the
members of the Philip Volunteer
Fire Department of Philip, South
Dakota, sent in a check for $36.5O.
This amount, as we have already
explained, will maintain a French
child in its own home for an en-
tire year. The generous and pat
riotic members of the Philip Vol
unteer Fire Department lone of
the most efficient and represen-
tative departments of its size in

satisfaction from now on of
knowing that, owing to their en-
terprise in sending us this check,
some poor French child whose
father gave up his life that dem
ocracy might live, is, for a year
at least, assured of living in its
own home, with a mothers care,
and that the little family is not to
be separated.

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

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their flocks and
herds In order to meet Europe's tre-
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food adminis-
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown 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 fields-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,
$17.76 per 100 pounds; october, $17.28; {;
November and December, $1808; jan
larry, $14.4O. The effect OF these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number Of cattle as
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14,807 900 head Of
cattle In 1918, she now has only r.
841, 900, a decrease Of 1853 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 Ad-
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.

WOMAN LYNCHED BY MOB.
Barney Section of Georgia Greatly
Aroused Over killing OF Hampton
Smith.

Valdosta. Ga, May 19.-Mary Turn
er. wife of Hay s. Turner, was hanged
this afternoon at Folsome's bridge,
over Little River, about 16 miles
north of Valdosta. Hay S. Turner was
hanged at the Okapilco River in
Brooks County last night. His wife,
IL is claimed, made unwise remarks
today about the execution of her hus-
band and the people in their indignant
mood took exceptions to her remarks
as well as her attitude and without
waiting for nightfall took her to the
river where she was hanged and her
body riddled with bullets.
This makes five persons lynched in
this section as result of the Smith
tragedy at Barney. All Of Syndey
Johnson's relatives, including his
mother and father. were landed in
Jail here last night. Tonight, owing
to the increased feeling among the
people, the Jail is being strongly
guarded to prevent trouble Besides
the chase after Sydney Johnson,
posses are tonight loking for other
negroes in this section and feeling
among both whites and blacks seems
to be growing more intense.
On Thursday night two negroes
stole shotgun from Hampton Smith
at Barney and shot and killed Smith
in his home. Mrs. Smith fled from the
house and was attacked. She awoke
the following morning in q creek and
went to a negro cabin for aid. Those
who investigated her story found
Smiths body and the negroes, farm
hands had disappeared.
Since then the farming section of
that part of the State has been greatly
aroused.
