Following his discharge on the rec

was forced to accept his pay under
the threat of being detained indefinitely

TO the Friends service committee, but
he concluded he could not use "even In

Baily sent his pay check to Secretary

In a letter which accompanied the
check. Baily said:
my reason for not accepting pay is
that ] am a conscientious objeCtor and

This last year one of the largest po.
it has ever produced. During the win
ter the weather was so severe that IL
was not safe to ship potatoes from
the west to the southern states, but
now that the weather has become
mild there are great quantities Of po-
tatoes offered on the market, and il
they are not consumed In the next few
weeks they viii be a total loss.
In some hotels on the bin of fare
it is announced that the guest will be
served a baked potato without charge
If he will not order bread.
Recently a visitor at the food adj
of having had bread served to him
made from a recipe of 20 pounds Of
wheat flour, 13 pounds corn meal and
As pounds prepared potatoes. He
stated that he had never tasted bet
ter bread.
A boarding house keeper in Vicks.
burg one evening recently tempted a
food administration worker to eat
some light rolls, saying that they
would not offend his conscience in
the matter of using wheat. The COM
position was 60 per cent wheat flour,
25 per cent corn meal and Is per cent
mashed potatoes. Better rolls never
were made in the judgment of those
who ate them.
Prepare your potatoes for the table
with the skins on. 1t saves much OF
their value. Have them boiled with
the skins on, or baked, whatever way
may suit the convenience of the
housewife. If you have never tried it,
when serving a fish dinner, serve
boiled potatoes with the skins on, and
see how splendtdly they assimulate.

tho people of Mississippi to push, Of

and eat potatoes, and by doing 50.

WHAT THE AMERICAN FLAG Is

Can excerpt from a Flag Day Address by Franklin K. Lane,
Secretary of the Interior)
s"Then came a great shout from the flag.
" Let me tell you who / am. The work that
we do is the making of the real flag. | am not the
flag, not at all. / am but it's shadow. | am what
ever you make me, nothing more, | am your belief
in yourself, your dream of what a people may be-
come. | live a changing life, a life of moods and
passions, of heartbreaks and tired muscles.
" Sometimes l am strong with pride, when
men do and honest work, fitting the rails together
truly; sometimes l droop, for then purpose has
gone from me, and cynically | play the coward.
Sometimes l am loud, garish and full of that that
blasts judgment. But always l have all that you
hope to be and have the courage to try for.
g" I am the song and fear, struggle and
panic, and e~nnobling hope. l am the days work
of the weakest man, and l am the largest dream of
the most daring.
81 am the Constitution and the court, statutes
and statute makers, soldier and dreadnought,
drayman and street sweep, cook, counsellor and
clerk. l am the battle of yesterday and the
mistake of tomorrow. I am the mystery of the
men who do without knowing why. | am the clutch
of an idea, and the reasoned purpose of resolu-
ton. / am no more than what you believe me to
be, and | am all that you believe l can be. | am
what you make me, nothing more. | swing be-
fore your eyes as a bright CLEAN of color, a symbol
of yourself, the pictured suggestion of that big
thing which makes this nation. My stars and my
stripes are your dreams and your labors.
They are bright with cheer, brilliant with
courage, firm with faith, because you have made
them so out of your hearts, for you are the
makers of the flag, and it is well that you glory
in the making"

Dedicated to the Sailors by the girls left behind. Anna
Lee Hardin, Saltillo, Lee County, Miss.
All praise to you, my sailor lad,
Who sails the ocean wide and deep,
And feareth not the toughest gale,
In sunshine or in hail;
You left a home and loved ones there,
To serve a God and country dear;
And prove your love by valorous deeds.
Sail on, my love, and wear the blue,
| know Christ's love is strong and true,
And will protect you from all harm.
Lean thou on Him to calm the waves,
Of thy own sin-tossed soul,
To give thee strength in time Of need,
And help in battle fought,
think OF you, my sailor lad,
Out on LIES surging sea,
| humbly kneel in the open dawn,
And breathe a prayer for thee;
A mothers son, a husband, kind and true,
A loving brother and sweetheart too,
And when the sun is over all;
And twilight shades begin to fall,
| ask again for Him to keep our boys,
The unseen hand is guiding right,
Be sure love leads you in the path,
That leads to GROWING victory,
And if you fall in gentle sleep,
To heed the higher call,
Your dust to rest in gentle arms,
And moulder in the hidden grave,
But soul! Oh soul! Where wilt thou go,
To find a resting place?
