Food Administrator of Michigan Gets Hap Williams to Give Uses of Corn-Arkansas Gains Val
 uable Advertising Incidentally,

This war is bringing the heretofore lowly corn pone into it's own and here after the aristocratic wheat flour de licacies must give way to those pro- ducts of the meal barrel which only the South has known how to produce and appreciate. Arkansas Corn Bread" will soon be tickling the pal ates of Michigan, and wherever Mich iganders' learn to appreciate the toothsome dishes that can be prepared from corn meal, the name of Arkansas will be heard.
 Michigan has always been one of the largest wheat consuming states. Corn meal had a very limited use there and was unheard of as base for bread stuffs. With the coming of the war and the necessary curtailing of the use of wheat Michigan faced an ac- tual hardship. Food Administrator c. A. Prescott of that state succeed ed in getting the food rules modified for his state for while, but the wheat need was too great to allow any per manent concessions. MT. Prescott sought way out of his difficulty by writing Hamp Williams. Arkansas food administrators for some suggestions as to the use of wheat. MT. Williams responded with collection of well known southern recipes for corn bread, hoe cakes and other southern delic- acies. MT. Prescott has published these thrucut Michigan as Arkansas recipes, giving this state incidentally.
 The following is an extract from of- ficial press sheet of the Michigan food administration:
 Lansing, March 23.--Grocers report to the food administration that prac- tically all housewives call for corn meal as one of the flour substitutes. For this reason Food Administrator c. A. Prescott suggested that the fla nous official corn recipes of the Ar kansas Food Administration be pub hshed for the benefit of Michigan wo- men. Hamp Williams, Food Adminis- trator for Arkansas writes MT. Pres colt, "Win the war with corn bread, use Arkansas recipes, the solve the wheat question and make wheatless days delight. Arkansas has learned how to make corn meal bread through years of practice. These recipes have brought health and happiness to Ar kansas. Now you try 'em.' Here they are:

NAIL THE FLAG TO THE FLOW.

Nail the flag to the blow The soldiers must eat While defending the trenches Or suffer defeat, You can help the brave soldier At this time of his need By increasing your acres And planting more seed. Nail the flag to the blow Your children and wife Must be saved from starvation While the world is in strife. Your duty is plain; Your mission is grand; Each man is hero Who's tilling the land. You say you're too old To fight with gun Then work in the fields Till the setting of sun And show to the world By the sweat on your brow That you're serving your country With flag on your plow." For the splendid endorsement given me by the people of our district two years ago l again tender to them my grateful and sincere thanks and will deeply appreciate the support of every person participating in the coming pri- mary.

The average period from the time a

months. That is a very considera-

one OF the simplest items.
