HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF.

Perhaps We think We are learning
something new in learning cornmeal
cookery, but we are not. Aside from
the fact that we use gas and electric
ovens or coal ranges and that they
used crude wood fires, the dishes we
make OF corn are much the same as
those learned from the Indians by our
ancestors centuries ago In fact, they
were familiar with the knack of max.
ing bread of mixed grain and there
was quite a vogue for a bread called
rye and injun," which was not un.
like some Of the Liberty breads of the
present time.
And so our lessons from Colonial
days might be extended. They pre-,
served the summers abundance OF
fruit and vegetables for winters use,
and preserved it without sugar, and
this is the very latest demand OF the
food situation in this country. They
dried vegetables and fruit and we
cannot do better than to dry fruit and
vegetables in much the same way that
they did They knew a scarcity OF
wool and they conserved wool. and
we are asked to do the same. They
made soap from dHppings, and We
are asked to save every bit OF fat
either to use ourselves or to sell tc
soap makers.

Of foodstuffs across the Atlantic. Next

900 tons. In normal pre-war times the
figure was $3.50, 900 tons.

THE PEOPLES FORUM.
United War Work Campaign.

Mr.. Editor:-Will you allow me space
to appeal once more in behalf of this
great drive that is upon us? Last week
| referred to some of the work done by
the Y. NJ. C. A. and K. of C. If space
permitted l would like to refer to the
work of the other activities. The Y. W.
c. A. provides reception houses where
friends may visit the boys and where
boy may take his best girl sure that she
will be nicely cared for and he can en-.
joy visit with her without being SUBJ
jected to criticism. Here's a picture,
real one, too, and you can judge for
yourself as to the efficiency of the Y. W.
A young wife and mother visited the
camp where she found home with the
W. Y.'s. The soldier boy spent his
leisure time during her visit with his
wife and their laddie boy, who had come
to the home during his absence, and now
he is paying his first visit to Dad. The
mother was anxious that he should see
the finest boy in the land, and as he
could not get leave of absence, she
bundled up the kiddie and went to camp
to see Dad. Happy! Well, how would
you feel under those circumstances?
The kodak man has done his work and
you see mother sitting on a chair with
the baby on her lap. and the soldier boy
is standing behind looking at the kodak
Not bit of it-at the boy, who smiles
at Dad. The man at the kodak SAYS,
now look this way, holds up his whist
ling bird to attract the baby and says,
now look pleasant. He needn't say
that, for they couldn't look any other
way. They were happy and showed it.
But mother and baby must go, back
home, and he to his duties. The call
comes and he must pack up and cross
the ocean. Presently he is in the TRENCH
or going over the top, or crawling
through no, mans land, in doing which
he is struck with bullet and must Ian
guish in hospital. What would he not
give to see wife and baby boy? But
the Y. WIS find him. and with the Red
! Cross do their bit to help him back to
health.
This takes money. DO you begrudge
it to them? Then you'll do your part in
this drive, and if everyone in the coun-
ty does his or her part We'll 60 over the
top as the boys in the trenches do after
the atrocious Huns, who have thrust all
this suffering on US and the world.
Then you will find libraries in the
camps. Books, magazines are collected
In rooms where the boys can gather and
read. This is where they save the gold
dust Of time. By the way, when you
read your papers and magazines put
one cent stamp on the corner indicated
by the P. M. General and leave them at
your postofice and they will be forwar-
ded to camp, and give tie boys a lot of
pleasure.

camps. One boy was entertaining him

STILL HANDICAPPED
Republican Editor Going 1t Alone
for Third Week.

The editor of THE REPUBLICAN
expected that beginning with the
present week a portion of the office
force would return to work follow
ing the influenza attacks, but our
hopes were blasted, and as a result
the editor for the third consecutive
week is filling all stations and is
having a busy time of it, being
editor, reporter, compositOr, press
man and job hand. We have en-
deavored to secure help from other
points, but have been unsuccessful,
there being two jobs open in every
town where there is a printing es-
adjustment for every man availa-

self with a monograph, one was at
piano with others about him singing.
Some were writing letters, while others
were reading. Don't they deserve all
these things-the best of all that is to
be had? Sure they do. And you, my
reader; well, you'll do your best to make
them happy and contented. He is a
shirker who will not give to the utmost
for such work as this. The Master said,
"Inasmuch as We did it to one of the least
We did it unto me. " Will you administer
to the sick soldier, or relieve the pain of
the wounded hoy, or drop a flower on
the grave of your hero, or do what you
can to make his life pleasant and cheer
full If any who can will not do this he
deserves the eXecration of the commu-
nifty, to be held in righteous contempt.
They are so selfish that they care more
for the dollars than for the comfort of
the boys. Alas! some people worship
their money more than they do their
God. They are more DESTROYS of hoard
ing if up than of relieving the necessi-
ties of others. ''If any man seeth his
brother in need and shutteth up his
bowels of compassion, how dwelleth the
love of God in him?" 1t doesn't. If
we give dollar to snch cause as this
when we could give hundreds, we are
deralicts. Just now we are up against
mighty duty. Shall we meet it? If
not how can we look the boys in the
face when they come home. Our boys
are sustaining their reputation for cour-
age on the battlefields of France that
we may live in peace.
l beg to refer you to letter in this
weeks issue of the Republican and ask
you to read it. 1t is from Lieut.. Sim
cell. Read it and you'll feel like unloosing
your purse strings. You will want to
do your whole duty by the boys. Do

branch of Uncle Sans fighting
outfit to his credit-and he's from

In the battle of Very, when
the allies were making their great
counter attack against the German
forces on the Marine, the command
had sounded to advance, and at
the head of a small detachment,
Corporal Kildow started forward.
But the artillery fire was terrific,
the machine gun barrages almost
impossible to pass. Time after
time the little detachment attempt
ed to advance, but was finally
forced to seek cover. In the face
of the deadly fire Corporal Kildow
remained behind to carry the men
of the detachment who had been
wounded to safety. For the bray
cry thus shown Corporal Kildow
has been recommended for a Dis
tinguished Service Cross.

RED-CROSs WANTS PEACH

Is made by the American Red Cross.
II Is pointed out that to make 5,000,0 600
Of the best gas masks needed for the
Army, Navy, ambulances and hospital
service, will require 35,0OO,000 pounds
Of peach stones.
The Federal Government has asked
the Red Cross to use its organization
for collecting these fruit stones.
Stones Of apricots, prunes, plums,
olives, dates, cherries, walnuts, Bra
lillian nuts, hickory and butteruuts
are also of value for providing carbon
for the gas masks and should be saved
with the peach stones. Italian cherry
stones are not to be saved, as they
have no value compared with native
cherry stones
