CORN MEAL NOW
 FOR IMPORTATION
PROCESS OF MANFACTURE lM- PROVED so THAT CORN PROD.
 ucTS ARE AS GOOD KEEP
 FRS AS THOSE OF WHEAT.

Corn meal is not now wholly deli caey of the United States. It is fast becoming a necessity along with flour in the foreign countries and local mill CTS believe that in a few years the demand for it in other countries will equal that of the United States. This will insure high prices for corn and make it one of the staple crops of Arkansas.
 We are not exporting corn meal, !" reports J. F. Weinmann, of the J. F. Weinmann Milling Company, "but the IeNportation by other mills makes the home demand greater on those that are not exporting and we are grinding more meal daily than ever before.
 Formerly corn meal was not used in export trade because it was not a good keeper. Now it will last just as long as flour and it is taking it's place 1 as a life sustainer in many parts of the globe Pearl meal is the export variety Ii is made from the white i part of the grain about the germ of the grain The germ and the darker part beneath the hull is removed and practically all of the moisture remoy- ed so it will keep indefinitely. Pearl meal is ground almost as fine as four Standard meal is either the whole grain. and sometimes includes even the germ. It is more sustaining food than the pearl meal for it con- tains more fat. Pearl meal sells the highest and the people buy it as much for that reason as any other. It is whiter than sSndard meal, and proba- ply is fined, but fols food qualities the standard exce1s.
 T look for corIl Iaa close rival of wheat after this for so many more people will be xslainted with 1lts good qualities.

U. S. HAS MADE RECORD IN
THE OUTPUT OF GUNS
72,152 Rifles Were Produced in the
Week Ending February 2.

Washington, Feb. 2,3.-America has
made record in rifle procurement
which ordnance officials believe has
never been equalled by any other ma
ton, the war department announced
today. During the week ending Feb
ruary ?, upon which the statement is
based, the production was 72,I52. This
means that the weekly production, ID
months after war was declared, was
four times as great as the weekly
production in Great Britain was the
first 10 months of the war and twice
as large as the production in that
country after two and half years
of war.
During the week mentioned the
daily production of the so-called mod
flied Enfields was 1905 and of the So
called Springfields Lag, making the
total for the week 5o,S72, or nearly
enough for three army divisions. In
addition, there were procured daily,
either by manufacture or by accept
ance of rifles already made, 1868
Russian pieces, making a total daily
production of 1915. Since April f,
1917. the ordnance department has
manufactured and procured more than
100000 of the Springfield and modi-
fled Enfield rifles,

THE ssTH IS READY TO GO
More Than One Hundred Schools ia
Camp Continually Turn Out
Specialists in Every
Branch of Warfare.

Camp Doniphan, Ok, Feb. 23.-Ev
cry man in the Thirty Fifth Division
is trained to the minute, and officers
high in command say this division
wouldn't suffer by comparison il
matched against any other division in
the United States.
All of the men have been in train.
ing at least six months, and many Of
them have been in camp nine and ten
months. The men have been trained
so thoroughly and proficiently that
their work is now becoming automat-
| ic.
More than one hundred schools are
in progress in camp all the time con-
tinually turning out specialists in ev-
cry branch of warfare.
And the specialized training has
done lot to help the men along. 1t
broke up thej monotonous hours Of
drill, and the classes in grenade
throwing, bayonet practice, raiding
parties, Jason work and other lines
have been we'll patronized. There
isn't man in the division who isn't
familiar with the little part he is 60
ing to take in this wat when the d.
vision finally gets into it. The men
are we'll equipped, with the exception
of ordnance. This is slowly coming
in, a carload today.
The fact that the men of the divis'
ion are contented is due almost en-
tirely to the interchangeable work of the
commanding general. General Wright
spends little time at his desk. He is
usually wandering around the camp,
nearly always on horseback. He
drops in here and there unexpectedly
sometimes to inspect a kitchen, al
mess hall, the grounds surrounding a
regimental or company area. If he
finds anything wrong he talks to the
men about it, and if everything is
he praises the men for it.
Consequently Camp Doniphan is
probably the neatest and cleanest
camp in the country.

AUGUST A. BUSCH TO AWARD
GRANT FARM PIG AS
ESSAY PRIZE
Boys and Girls Invited to Tell How
to Keep and Fatten Hogs on
Table Scraps.
A CONSERVATION MEASURE
Conditions of Contest Explained
Prize to be Fine Thoroughbred
White Yorkshire Pig.

The United States Food Admins
tration has asked Missouri farmers to
increase pork production 50 per cent
in 1918. To accomplish this result
and help our country win the war it
will be necessary to produce 2,354,-
600 more hogs than last year. The
task is great, but loyal Missourians, |
, am sure, will make every effort in
their power to comply with the re-
quest OF the government
1t is not a question of hogs alone,
but also of feed. An increase of so
per cent of feed will be necessary,
but considerable part of this feed
can be obtained from the table and
kitchen scraps. which are too often
wasted The table scraps wasted by
the average American family will
keep and fatten for the market at
least one hog, and possibly more.
There should be one or more garbage
fed hogs on every Missouri farm and
suburban home.
To encourage the boys and girls to
do their share toward increasing the
pork production OF Missouri this
year, | am making the following
propositions
To the boy or girl under Is years
of age in the Sixth Congressional
District who writes the best essay
on how to raise and fatten hogs on
table and kitchen scraps will give
thoroughbred White Yorkshire pig
from my Grant Farm herd. the pig to
be shipped express prepaid to the
winner You could not buy a pig
from breeder equal to this for less
than SIoo.
As a grand prize | will award a
pair of fine White Yorkshire pigs fom
my Grant Farm herd to the boy or
girl whose essay is declared by the
Judges to be the best submitted from
any 01 tire rif71rrrrT7 7grI0 utrUr i t7s-
tricts OF Missouri.
CONDITIONS OF CONTEST
Essays should be limited to 800
words, plainly written on one side
of the paper.
Each contestant should submit a
written statement from parents, guar
dian or teacher that the essay was
written by the contestant and that
the writer OF the essay will be per-
mitted to retain the profits from the
pig, ii he or she should win.
All essays must reach me not later
