was organized closed for three days
recently by A. L. Stokes, County Food
Administrator for Dunklin county.
Morrow sold wheat flour without sub
stitutes and in 48-pound sasks to city
consumers.
Ten stores in the state have been
closed for periods Of from n to
three days in the last six weeks by the
Missouri Division of the Food Admin
istration for violations Of the fifty
fifty rule which requires substitutes
to be sold with every purchase OF
wheat flour. They are as follows: Five

in W~arrenton, one in Sikeston, nj in
Gibson and in Campbell.
A milk concern in Kahoka was or,
dered closed for one-half day las

as the regulations Of the Food Admin.
istration require. The light penalty
was due tothe fact that this concern
was the only market for milk in thu
town.

MUST USE POTATOES IN BREAD

Lord Rhondda, before resigning as
British Food Controller, issued an
order authorizing the English local
Food Control Committees to compel
the use Of a certain amount of pota-
toes, in the form of potato mash in all
bread manufactured for sale or sold
within their districts. Before enforc-
ing this order, the committees must be
satisfied that bakers generally in
their districts can make such use of
potatoes, and that there are adequate
supplies of potatoes available for this
purpose.
Arrangements are also now being
made to convert a portion of next
years crop of potatoes into potato
flour which will be placed in reserve,
and will not be available for direct
use in the making Of bread. Potato
bread will continue to be made with
potato mash as at present.

.HAKEOUR VISION WORLD
CHRISTIAN DEMOCRACY.
The Rev. e. c. Grimes. Of the Meth
odist Church. Urges a Definite
Ideal for Our Fighting
Goal
HAS AIDED GERMAN FORCES
While Hun Spiritual Equipment Does
Not Ring True, Il Nevertheless
Gives Him More Definite
Goal.

Our vision should be worldwide
Christian Democracy, not efficiency
but conservation, was the dominant
note in the Memorial Day sermon Of
the Rev. C. C. Grimes at the Method
list Church Thursday morning.
The following is a brief epitome Of
his masterful handling Of the sub
ject:
During the last two years the Ger
man army has been equaled or sur
passed by the Allies in material
equipment, guns, money, ships and
material resources.
"The question is: why hsve not the
Allies, with all this material SUPER
iority, gained a decisive victory over
their enemy?
"The answer is: the victory in all
human conflicts is determined finally
by spiritual equipment, and not by
material resources. God is not on the
side of the biggest guns; He is on the
side of the biggest souls.
"Germany's success is the result Of
the fact that she has had, not a better
but a more definite spiritual equip.
ment, than the Allies. She has had al
ideal; Efficiency. She has had a vi
sion: Mittle Europa great auto.
cratic empire stretching from Ham
burg to the Persian Gulf. She has hat
a god: an obscene, bloody, cruel rein
carnation of her old pagan divinities
and yet a very real and ever presen
god that she believes in, prays to
and marches with to the battlefield.
ave al overcome such a spiritua
equipment only by virtue of a lik
equipment which is better and strong
er and more definite.
sour ideal should be, not efficiency
but conservation, which is a better AM
more comprehensive spiritual fact.
"0ur vision should be, not empire
but a worldwide Christian Democ
racy.
"Our god should be, not the apoth
costs of a pagan warrior, but the Go
of fathomless love and blood-drenche
heroism who is revealed in Jesus @
Nazareth"
