IT, plus of corn the past year
over any previous year is
greater than was the entire
years wheat crop. Corn can
not be economically shipped to
Europe. We Must Eat More
Corn Here.
Corn is more than food to us
it is a symbol. Staying right at
home, it plays a colossal part
in the war, for it sends the
wheat abroad. Corn is the
home guard among food pro-
ducts. Wheat is the soldier of
the line.
Corn isn't one food, it is a
dozen, cereal, bread, vegetable
and dessert. It has more food
value in it dollar for dollar,
than meat or eggs. It is plen-
tiful and its use is patriotic
service.

COPENHAGEN. Jan. 10.-Germany,
for the time being. is concentrating
her efforts on a separate peace with
Ckrainia, according TO information
from Brest-Litovsk today.
i was stated that the negotiations
have proceeded TO the point where
territorial boundaries were discussed
1t is reported that the German en-
voys have pledged themselves to the
following program:
Ukrainia shall be given part OF
Poland. Galicia and Roumania.
Austria to annex part Of Roumania
and secure large acquisitions Of ter
Titory in the Balkans.
The occupied portions of Russian
soil to be set up into either one or
more separate states under German
protection"
Litovsk have not held the same ideas
on peace terms as the BOlshevikl,
being more ''imperialistic in their
views"
4 dispatch from Petrograd today
said that the belief is strong in some
quarters that the Brest-IiUovsk nego-
tiations are moving toward a final
rupture, so far as the Bolsheviki gov
eminent is concerned. This situation
has been brought about. il was said,
by the refusal Of the Germans to
make any definite statement as TO

ABOUT THE GOSPEL.
TRAIN TO HEAVEN

a new kind OF train Is running on
q new road in Washington today.
With Homer Rodeheaver as flag

Gospel train out at the tabernacle
made the trip from Earth to Heaven
yesterday afternoon, EEetaphorically
speaking.
Pinch-hitting for Billy, who could
not be present, owing to the condi-
ton of his throat. DIR. Ward preached
his famous sermon, THE Journey
from Earth to Heaven" with all the
spontaneity and a good deal of the
enthusiasm OF the famous evangelist
himself.
you are on a journey" DR.. Ward
shouted to his passengers. Which
way are you headed. to Heaven or to
He'll? There are many roads to He'll,
but there Is only one road to Heaven
and the City of God"
DR.. Ward graphically described how
one can arrive safely in the City OF
God via the gospel route when he in
troduced the gospel train" into the
sermon. He touched his sermon with
a good deal Of human interest. One Of
his most appealing passages dealt with
the sorrowa of a man who, through
procrastination. missed the gospel
train and didn't line up with the
chosen few when the destination was
reached. Another dealt with the fine
determination which one displayed In
getting aboard with a ticket for a
lower berth and meals straight
through.
THE gospel train is in Washington
now" DR.. Ward told the audience. 1T
is up to every Christian resident of
Washington To get aboard"
There Is only one timetable, and
that Is the infinite, and there is only
one guide book. and that IL the Bible.
