"AMERiCANO" GIVES
 "DOUG" PLENTY TO DO


 Douglas Fairbanks, athletic star of TriangIe-Fine Arts, again has part in ''The Americana" that gives him full opportunity to display his ath- , letic prowess The play is fairly sat urated with action, This show will be repeated at the Coliseum tonight. Fairbanks goes to ParagOnia, a South American country arrives just while the country is in the throes of revolution, starts out to discover the former president, who has been showed out by an ursurper, rescues the daughter, makes the usurper take to the bushes, reinstates the legitimate President and incidentally wins the hand of the latter's daugh- ter for a life mate. He scales walls, climbs trees, whips a whole com pany of South American soldiers in subterranean passage and comes up smiling.
 Tom Wilson, former heavyweight pugilist and at present comedian and character man of the Triangle-Fine Arts studios, has prominent role in support of Douglas Fairbanks in "The Americana" Wilson appears as an American negro, who attaches himself to the hero of the picture and acts as his aid in many start ling adventures.

If we would have eggs when
they are highest we should begin
now to SOW rye, barley, crimson
clover, etc, for the hens this
winter. Vacant lots near the
hen-houses should all be sown to
a cover crop of some kind where
the hens can roam at will on mild
days. These will pay the cost
of seeding many times over in

FACE the FACTS

I EFT us face the facts. The situation is critical
IL Unless the Allies fight they never yet have
fought, defeat threatens. Hungry men cannot fight
at their best; nor hungry nations. France, England
and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them
Wheat Savings-They must have wheat. 1t is the
best food to fight 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 year-We can
support those who are fighting our battles. And we
can do it without stnting ourselves We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn of Plenty-3orn is that food. There's a
surplus of it. Provid ance has been generous in the
hour of our need 1t Las given in such bounty
as was never known 5ofore. Tons of corn Train
loads of corn Five hun dred million bushels over and
above regular needs All we have to do is to
learn to appreciate it, Was ever patriotic duty made
easy? And so clear?
Americas Own Food-Corn! 1t is the true American
food. The Ind IS hardest OF races lived on it.
Our forefather. opted the diet and conquered a
continent. For great section of our country it
has blong cen tho staff of life. How well the South
fought it, history tells. Now it can help America
win world war.
Learn Something-Corn! It isn't one food. It's
dozen. It's cereal. It's 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.
Corn's Infinite Varety-How much do you know about
corn? About how good it is? About the many
delicious ways of cooking it? And what you miss
by not knowing more about it? Here few
of it's uses:
There are at least fifty ways to use corn meal to
make good dishes for dinner, supper, lunch break

1918 For a Big Legume Crop.

Grow all the legumes you can
in all the places you can," is good
advice this year, as in years past.
Another big corn crop is called
for,of course, but is more profit
able to the farmer and will do
the country more good to put the
poor lands into soy beans or pea
nuts or cowpeas than into corn.
The total food product from these
poor lands will be greater.
There is a demand for a large
ly increased production of meat.
One of the best ways to meet
that demand is by the growing
of legumes. The legumes are
ithe greatest of all producers of
cheap pork and beef and milk.
More than that, they are the
post available and yaost valuable
Of all substitutes for animal pro-
ducts. Beans and peas and pea
nuts can be made largely to take
the place of meat. They should
be substituted for it in many
cases to a much greater extent
than has been the custom.
The war, then dictates that we
shall increase rather than de-
crease our acreage and produc-
ton of legume crops. We need
them as meat substitutes, as
feeds for our live stock, and as
helps in our soil building. The
big grain crops likely to be need
ed for some years yet make all
the more imperative the growing
of legumes whenever they can be
so used as to add to the soils
supply of nitrogen or organic
matter.
The particular legumes to plant
will depend, of course, upon in
dividual circumstances. There
is quite a number to choose from
and new ones are all the time be
ing added to the list. There i,

A DAILY DUTY

der in France is confronted by

great task to perform for our
country, for the world, for civil
cation, and for humanity. Our
soldiers are doing their duty with
courage and fidelity and effcien
cy that thrill every heart.
Each day every American citi-
zen at home is confronted by Il
great duty, a duty as imperative
upon him or her as the duty Of our
soldiers is upon them. The Amer
lean people have a great task to
perform. It is to support to the
limit Of their ability our Army our
Navy, our country at war.
To work with increased energy
and efficiency so that our national
production may be increased; to
economic in consumption so that
more material and labor and trans
portation may be left free for the
uses Of the Government and with
the resultant savings to support
the Government financially is the
daily duty Of every American. It
is duty that will be met by every
American whose heart is with our
soldiers in France, who glories in
their courage and fighting ability

block is estimated to cut ten lbs.
each-and ten blocks it does cut
but as to whether Of 10 pounds or
not depends on the time and dis
lance the ice man must travel And
the ultimate consumer foots the
bill.
See the grocer order a barrel
Of apples. Going through them
he discovers a certain per cent
have rotted. His per cent Of pro-
fit must cover these-and again
the ultimate consumer gets the
hot end Of the poker.
