FACE the FACTS

7 EFT us face the facts. The situation is critical.
II Unless the Allies fight they never yet have
fought defeat threatens Hungry cannot fight
at their best; hungry nations. France, England,
and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them.
Wheat savinss-They must have wheat It is the
best food to fight on 1t is the easiest to ship We
alone can spare it to them. BY saving just little
less than quarter of what we ate last yearwe can
support those who are fighting our battles And we
do it without stnting ourselves We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn of Plenty-Corn is that food There's
surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the
hour of our need It has given in such bounty
as was never known before. Tons of corn. Train
loads of corn Five hundred million bushels over and
above regular needs All have TO do is to
learn to appreciate it. Was patriotic duty made
so easy? And so clear?
Americas Own Food-Cornl It is the true American
food The Indians, hardest of races. lived on 1t.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered
continent. For great section of our country It
has bong the staff Of life How well the South
fought on it, history tells Now it help America
win world war
Learn some,hing-Cor, It isn't one food. It's
dozen. It's cereal It's a vegetable. It's bread
It's dessert It's nutritious; food value in IT,
dollar for dollar, than meat or eggs or most other
vegetables. It's good to eat; how good you don't
know until you've had corn-bread properly cooked
Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic.
Corns Infinite Vsriety-How much do you know about
corn? About how good II is? About the many
delicious ways of cooking it2 And what you miss
by not knowing about it7 Here are a few
of its uses:
There at least fifty ways TO meal to
make good dishes for dinner, supper, lunch break
fast. Here are some suggestions:
HOT BREADS DESSERTS
Boston brown bread. Corn-meal molasses cake.
Hoecake. Apple corn bread.
Mullins. Dumpings

sidestepped and retreated. More than
once their heavy blows crashed on
his face. His eyes dared not wander
from them for an instant, but he was
working toward definite plan. As he
moved his feet were searching for the
automatic he had dropped.
One of his feet, dragging over the
ground, came into contact with the
steel. With swift side kick Gordon
flung the weapon dozen feet to the
left. Presently. watching his chance,
he made dive for 1t.
Trelawney, followed by Northrup,
turned and ran. One of them caught
Macdonald's horse by the bride. He
swung to the saddle and the other man
clambered on behind. There was a
clatter of hoofs and they were gone.
Elliot stopped over the battered body
that lay huddled at the edge Of the
water. So badly had the face been
beaten and hammered that it was not
until ne had washed the blood from
the wounds that Gordon recognized
Macdonald.
Opening the coat of the insensible
man, Gordon put his hand against the

you put 1t to me flat-foot, you gave
1t to your pardners. You didn't want
it. They did. They have got the
horse too-and they're hitting the
high spots to make their getaway"
Elliot was locked up in the fiimsy
Jail without breakfast. He was furi-
GUS, but as he paced up and down the
narrow beat beside the bed his anger
gave way to anxiety. Surely the Pag-
cts could not believe he had done such
thing. And Sheba-would she ac-
cept as true this weight of circum-
stantial evidence that was piling up
against him?
It could all be explained so easily.
And yet-the facts fitted like links Of
chain to condemn him. He went
over them one by one. The babbling
tongue of Selfridge that had made
common gossip of the impending trag-
edy in which he and Macdonald were
the principals-his purchase Of the
automatic-his public meeting with
two known enemies Of the Scotsman,
during which he had been seen to give
them mOney-his target practice with
the new rcvolver-the unhappy chance
that had taken him out to Seven-Afile
Creek Camp the very day of the rob.
bery-his casual questions of the min.
ers-even the finding of the body by
him. All Of these dove-tailed with
the hypothesis that his partners in
