FACE the FACTS

EFT us face the facts. The situation is critical
II Unless the Allies fight they 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 It is the
best food to fight 1t is the easiest to ship. We
alone spare it to them. By saving just little
less than quarter of what ate last year-we can
support those who fighting our battles. And we
can do it without stinting ourselves We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn of PIenty-Corn is that food. There's
surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the
hour of need. 1t has given corn in such bounty
never known before Tons of corn. Train
loads of corn. Five hundred million bushels over and
above regular needs. All we have to do is to
learn to appreciate it. Was patriotic duty made
easyf And so clear?
Americas Own Food-Corn It is the true American
food The Indians hardest of races lived on it.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered
continent. For great section of our country it
has blong cen the staff of life. How well the South
fought on it, history tells Now it can help America
win world war.
Learn Something-Cornl 1t isn't one food It's
dozen It's a cereal. It's a vegetable. It's a bread.
It's dessert It's nutritious; more 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 variety-How much do you know about
corn2 About how good it is? About the many
delicious ways of cooking it? And what you miss
by not knowing about ti Here are few
OF its uses:
There are at least fifty ways to use corn meal to
make good dishes for dinner, supper lunch or break
fast. Here are some suggestions:
HOT BREADS DESSERTS
Boston brown bread. Corn-meal moasses cake.
Hoecake. Apple corn bread
Mullins. Dumplings
Biscuits. Gingerbread.
Griddle cakes. Fruit gems.
Watles.
HEARTY DISHES
Corn-meal croquettes Corn-mea fish balls.
Meat and corn-mea dumplings.
Italian poenta. Tamales.
The recipes are in Farmers Bulletin 565, Corn

In the last issue of the Courier
Mr.. Cottle had an editorial en-.
titled Sow Buckwheat, " that
deserves more than a passing no
tice. 1t is a big Idea." In the
times of critical conditions there
has always come to some man
the inspiration of the big idea'
that saved the situation. There
is no use to try to minimize the
very critical condition that the
bread situation has assumed in
the United States and especially
in our own section. The coun-
tries which are allied with US in
the war must be fed. The rapid
ly growing army of Americans
abroad must be fed. Wheat is
the only breadstutf that will an
swer this need, and America will
have to supply it, even if we are
compelled to further curtail the
use of wheat bread at home, |
want you to fully get the idea
that there is no possibility of the
restrictions of the use of wheat
flour being lifted during the war,
but that the probabilities are that
there will be even greater re-
strictions placed upon us in
the use of wheat flour.
Under these circumstances the
bdckwheat growing idea is one
that offers sure and immediate re-
lief to our people, and they should
act at once and not lose the op-
portunity by procrastination.
Summarizing Mr.. Cottle's edi-
torial, the facts in which are full
ly substantiated by extensive re-
search and experiment by the
Government, we find the following;
1st. Buckwheat makes a flour
that is palatable and equally as
nourishing and sustaining as
wheat -four.
2. An acre that will yield ten
bushels of wheat will yield fifteen
or more bushels of buckwheat.
8. 1t can be sold for as much
per bushel as wheat,
a. 1t is sown in July and har.
vested in October; both the SOW.
ing and harvesting time being al
seasons when the farmer is moi
overloaded with work.
5. Itmay follow oats or wheat

crops from the field in one season
6. Sown with clover or gras.
it is a good nurse crop,

8. Three pecks of buckwhea
will seed an acre.
With very little expense tn

class buckwheat flour, and tn
proprietor, Mr.. Lewis, says tina
if the farmers will take hold o
buckwheat cultivation in earnes
he will put in the necessary ad
ditions to his mill to make tn

flour.
Let me give you some reason
why the sowing buckwheat is a
actual necessity with our fal

limit to the use of wheat flour at
six pounds per month for each
person, and to enforce that rule
the following plan has been put
into operation in regard to flour
and sugar
All merchants must keep a rec
ord of all sales of both flour and
and sugar, on a book kept for
that purpose, giving date of pur-
chase, name of head of family,
number in family, and amount of
flour or sugar sold.
At the close of each month the
merchant must make a report to
the County Food Administrator,
on blanks furnished them, the
record of flour and sugar sales
for the month.
BY checking the reports the
Food Administrator can tell if
any family is usnig more than is
allowable, and can deal with the
offender, by prohibiting the sale
of the article to him, or by the
institution of a prosecution.

They Won Her at Poker

Her name is Charlotte Wakefield.
She is tall and graceful and good look
ing.
She is the girl in the yellow dress
who smiles and smiles and smiles from
beginning to end of "Rock-a-Bye
Baby" the new, breezy, summary mu-
steal comedy at the Aston Theatre.
There is a story to tell of the smiling
Miss Wakefield. A year ago she got
her first chance on the stage and made
the most of it. Came the close of last
season and the management for whom
she had worked offered her a new con-
tract for this coming season. 1t was
for larger salary and it was to play
one of the most important roles in the
road company of the musical comedy
with which she had made her start.
Life for Miss Wakefield surely wore a
rosy tint.
And then Selwyn e. Co. began cast
ing the "Rock-a-Bye Baby" company.

Sam McCracken, owner Of the Rich

The reason the Princess does not
travel with the Barnum or Ringing
shows is because they are circuses
without wild animal stunts, while the
r. T. Richards outfit doubles the wild
animal arena with the circus ring. But
when the Ringlings want q wild animal

1t was to be the firms first venture
into the field Of musical plays and
they planned to make their debut an
impressive one.
For the part Of the girl who must
"smile and smile and smile" the name
of Charlotte Wakefield was suggested
She was said to have the most infec-
tious smile on the stage and the man
who had suggested her urged the man
ayers to get her without fail.
All of which would mean little or
nothing had it not been that Miss
Wakefield had signed another con-
tract. Moreover, she wasn't at all
certain that she wanted to give up the
opportunity she had won by her work
the previous season to play just a
small part in another play.
And there the matter rested until
"Rock-a-Bye Baby" was already in re-
hearsaL 1t CHANGED that a member of
the Selwyn firm and the man who had
suggested the girl with the wonderful
smile met in the card room of a we'll

animals have minds and think just

Florine, trainer of wild animals for
the Ringing Brothers and now appear
ing with the R. T. Richards Circus at
Luna, Coney Island. Nor did she
bat an cyelash. This recalls the late
captain Jack" Bonavita, who would
look you dead in the eye and tell you
that lions talk.
Princess Florine sat in her spangles,
beautiful, pensive, n-cent-magazinish
if you wish, but nevertheless serious.
And to make the assertion and belief
in it further striking, here are her
confessed antecedents:
Born in the shadow of Bunker Hill,
Charlestown, Mass, at &c Monument
Square, of French american extraction,
and educated in Berkeley Street Con-
vent in Boston. Age, twenty-five. Eyes,
black. Hair, titian-real.

known theatrical club. Conversation
eventually drifted to the new play.
"Did you get that girl l told you
about?" asked the man.
Cant" answered the Selwyn man.
'She's tied up"
"Who with ?" asked the man. Then,
when he had been told. he added:
"Oh that's all right; he'll release
her. l just saw him downstairs. Wait
a minute and I'll bring him up here
and fix it up"
But it wasn't as easily fixed. The
man wasn't so sure he wanted to take
the trouble to find another girl for the
part for which he had engaged Miss
Wakefield. Suddenly the man who
had caused it all had an inspiration.
"Tll tell you what" he said. Lets
put on a little mellerdrammer Of our
own. Play hand of cards for the
gur-r-i."
And SO deck of cards was secured
and with the third man acting as
dealer a poker hand was dealt out.
The man who held the contract with
Miss Wakefield found a pair of kings
In his hand to start. His opponent
had a pair of aces. Each drew three
cards and then showed down their
hands. Neither had bettered. So Miss
Wakefield is wearing a pretty yellow
frock and smiling and smiling.
