CORN will WIN
DEMOCRACY'S WAR
Americas Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to
Market.
.MAINSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat Of the United States
Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
ened Europe.
MAINSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.

Americas great corn crop, exceed
ing 3,0OO,OOO,0O0 bushels, will save the
worlds food situation, officials of the
United States food administration be-
lleve
Corn is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
1t contains all the elements needed to
keep the body in a state of health and
when used according to the scores Of
tried recipes. especially when com
bined with an added portion of oil or
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In
dian warriors in colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days at
time, and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration of
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now, however, the cereal
is reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
Today there are approximately 80
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by five bush
els than in former years.
Corn has become the nations main
stay in the crisis of war
Just as this cereal saved the first
American colonists from famine on
many occasions, just as It served as
staple food during the War Of the Rev
Olution and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come to the front in
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
ed use IN the making of ordinary white
bread Hundreds of housewives and
many Of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent corn meal with wheat
flour to make leavened bread. This
kind Of a mixture is worked and baked
in the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread
Corn bread-using corn meal entire
ly-is gaining greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound of
wheat saved in America means a pound
of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America is assocl-
ated In the war.
There are score of corn products
that today possess unusual Importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet
ening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use In the kitchen instead Of
granulated sugar is one of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn oil, excellent for frying and for
every other purpose filled by salad oils
is appearing on the market in large
quantities. II comes from the germ of
the corn.

Nothing will cause the world
to rejoice more or stimulate
the wicked of the community
to greater efforts and tri-
umphs than the publication of
such things. The strong

There may be difficulties
misunderstanding and trou-

here is the place to nip in the
bud all such troubles. This is
the work of the prayer meet

preventing serious friction

The prayer meeting may be

In the prayer meeting is the

COULDN'T REMOVE BOOTS

Ozan, Ark, Feb. l, 1918.
Mr.. Editor:
The late Geo. w. Stuart, fa-
miliarly known as "Wash
Stuart" and my father, Law
son Ellis, were young men
together and great friends.
About 1884 they were visiting
at Squire Joseph Reeds, who
then lived near where the town
of Blevins now is. Ellis wore
a pair of new calf boots made
by hand at the shoe and boot
shop in Washington. 1t was a
wet, slushy time and the said
boots were saturated, so that
when they dried out it was diff
ficult to get them off. Stuart
and Ellis roomed together and
Stuart says that Ellis and sew
eral Intellectual efforts to pull
off his new boots. Stuart re-
tired and left Ellis still sit
ting by the fire, trying to dry
his foot gear so that he could
get it off his feet. About min
night Stuart relates that Ellis
took a large Mexican blanket
which he carried upon his sad
die and wrapping it around
his his feet and legs: went to bed
and slept soundly the remain-
der of the night.
Some years ago my father,
who then resided in Erath Co.,
Texas, came to my home on a
visit and remained about a
year, during which time Mr..
Stuart visited him several
times. Both were now beyond
70 years of age. During their
talks they told many jokes on
each other, all, of course, with
the pest OF personal feeling,
for they were still fast
friends. 1t afforded Mr.. Stu
art much fun to tell how LAW
son Ellis slept in Squire Joe
Reeds bed with his boots on"
Both these dear old pioneers
have long ago gone to that
bourne from which no travel
er e'er returns. Many of their
descendants are still in Hemp
stead county and some of them
are worthy offspring of wor-
thy sires.
| tell this story as l heard
dear old Mr.. Stuart tell it. Ell
lis also told many amusing
jokes at Stuart's expense.

FACE the FACTS

EFT US face the facts The war situation is critical
Il Unles- the Allies fight they never yet have
fought, q eat threatens Hungry cannot fight
at their best; hungry nations. France England,
and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them.
Wheat savngs-They must have wheat. 1t is the
best food to fight It is the easiest to ship. We
alone can spare it to them. By saving just little
less than quarter of what we ate last year-we
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 1t has given corn in such bounty
as was never known before. Tons of corn. Train
loads of corn. Five hundred million bushels and
above our regular needs All we have to do is to
learn to appreciate it, Was patriotic duty made
easy? And so clear?
Americas Own Food-Cornl It is the true American
food. The Indians, hardest of races, lived on it.
CIR forefathers adopted the diet and conquered a
continent For a great section of country it
ha blong cen the staff of life. How well the South
fought it, history tells. Now it can help America
win world war
Learn soraethng-Corni 1t isn't one food. It's a
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 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.
Corn'a Infinite Variety-How much do you know about
corn? About how good it is? About the many
delicious ways Of cooking it? And what Won miss
by not knowing more about it? Here are a few
of its
mere are dI StSJ llLy ways 10 use meal to
make good dishes for dinner supper lunch or break

w are now studying the
education o f the Prayer
Meeting; what it should lead,
what it should study, and what
should be the chief thought in
order to fit itself for present
and future usefulness. Every
child should have some object
in view, and in order to attain
to such high and noble things,
great care is necessary.
1t does not matter so
much about the curriculum
as about the preparation that
is made by the leader and in
structor, for so much de-
3 Ids on the leader and in
structors, as without these the
child is almost sure to go
wrong
Is it possible for the child of the
church to go wrong? We an
swer yes, if the God-parents,
the leader and instructor is
not properly prepared and
should give the wrong instruc-
tion, and continue to do SOFT
is reasonable that the child
would not be developed for fu-
ture usefulness.
So few people study the
"Prayer-Meeting," allowing it
to drift and take its own course
without special preparation,
feeling really no responsibility
as to its purpose, its object or
how or whether it should be-
educated, and if so, | am not
individually responsible for
it. Therefore it becomes like
the wind, 'the people hear the
sound thereof, but do not know
whence it cometh or whittier it
goeth." No definite direction
or special preparation by its
God-parnts, the officers of the
church.
Its OccaDatiOR.
AS we have Just discussed |
study and preparation, we
would ask the question, what
IS meant by study and prepara-
lion? Our answer is this, "fit-
ting one for useful service"
Admit the prayer-meeting is
primarily a place and occasion
'or prayer, praise and worship
md yet it should and may
'ender a distinct and valuable
service to the church and COM
and do something in
addition to drinking in and
'iling up. Take note of the
yeaw members of the church,
he weak service of the church.
he weak societies and depart
nents of church work that are
n need of help and incourage-

hurch may be afflicted with

COMMITTEE ON
EARLY CLOSING
Merchants Visited but No
Agreement Reached in Put
ting System in Effect.
By speciat Correspondent.

X TOTTENVILLE, Feb. 1.-THE
committee appointed at the mass meet
ing held at Shers hall on January %,
Tor the purpose of putting into effect
an earlier closing system for the bus
mess house Of Tottenville in order to
conserve fuel met Saturday night and
submitted the following report: The
various business men and dealers in all
lines have been waited upon, in order
that the sentiment toward the move
ment might be obtained. While q
great majority of the business men are
in sympathy with the plan and some
very strongly in favor of 1t the COM
mittee finds that in nearly every line
OF business there are two or three op-
posed, which would prevent the effect
tveness of the movement. In fairness
to all however, the committee desire
to report that many of the dealers
were willing to make sacrifices, IL nee
essary, to put the plan into effect,
while others seemed to be situated
that a compliance with the reqU. est
would entail too great a loss. 1t would
therefore be manifestly unfair to ex-
pect some to close while others in a
competing line are unwilling to do so.
The reason for keeping many of the
business places open at night the COM
mittee finds Is in a considerable de-
gree due to the fact that many people
do not care to do their shopping dur
ing the day time.
If the people generally would make
it a rule to do their buying SO far as
possible in the day 1t would remove
one of the strongest reasons for keep
ing open late at nights. This the COM
mittee urgently recommends. r
