Winter is a season of pleasure.
Sometimes it is cold and severe.
Winter is necessary to kill the in

comes the 21st of December. Then
is when the snow begins to fall.
The ponds freeze over and the
boys and girls 60 skating, and

The old folks sit around the
fires and talk. Christmas comes,
and the little ones are glad to see
it come. Old Santa Claus comes
around to see the little children.
The children are merry. As they
go to school they have fun snow

CORN WILL WIN
DEMOCRACYSWAR
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 3,000,OO0000 bushels, will save the
worlds food situation, officials Of the
United States food administration be.
lieve.
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 a
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 30
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
-four 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 pound
Of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America is associ-
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
graduated 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. 1t comes from the germ OF
the corn.

IN.GERMANY lies
CIRCULATED In CANADA

Canada Is also having trouble with
Made-in-Germany lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation ac-
cording to an official statement re-
ceived from the Canadian food con-
troller by the United States food adj
ministration.
The stories bothering Canada are
the United States food administra-
tor recently denounced In this .coun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seao
housewives stocks of home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti-
mates that when the people listen to
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power of destruction that lies
In a battalion of soldiers
"Stories without even vestige Of
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement
"Nor have they come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously In
different parts of the country and in
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public indignation.
"They are insidious, subtle, persist
ent. Bit by bit they dissipate public
trust, the great essential in the work
Of food control.
1T lies with every individual to for
bear from criticism; to refrain from
passing on the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
to cooperate in work which Is going
to mean more than the majority OF
people yet realize"

1.-THE Last Shall Be First Etc."

One fact that varifies the pas
sage as above written, was brought
out last Saturday when Harry T.
Bates, of this place, called ut the
Local Board and asked for his
QUESTIONABLE. 1t was found that
he was number 1896" the last
man out, and under the first meth
cd of selecting he would have
been the last man to be called. In
filling out his papers he was placed
in division A, class |, which will
be next or first called. Harry had
his QUESTIONABLE only about thirty
minutes and gave it back to the
board correctly filed out. Truly
"The last shall be first, and the
first shall be last"
Harry is young man of pleas
ing, business-like disposition and
stands high in social circles. He
is sure to make good at anything
he may choose. The Journal
wishes him we'll.

Every Class
Except Teachers

The most noticeable thing in the
way of organization is that nearly
every class of people have organ
lied and demanded more pay, ex-
cept the teacher. The teacher,
whose pay is as poor as any class
in existance, seems perfectly salts
fed. Teachers salary is no better
than they were five years ago.
Living has advanced and every.
thing else, except the teachers
salary. 1t should not, and it will
not advance till the teacher de-
mands it. While it is true: "He
is a poor teacher who is in the
work for the salary only" Also
it is equally true, she is poor
teacher who is in the work on a
non-livlihood salary" There is no
reason in the word for the pauper
salary the teacher is receiving, ex-
cept we are not organized.

Wet or Dry, Which 2

The school has written a letter
to our Representative and Senator
urging them to do all in their
power to have the prohibition
question submitted to the people
for a vote. Kentucky should be
among the first States to ratify
the prohibition amendment to the
National Constitution. We all
know the States have seven years
in which to ratify the amendment,
but it will be ratified within three
years. We think every school in
+. the county, the State and the Ma
ton should enter this fight to see
our country free from the abom-
Unable booze.

Who's Who at McQuady.
A HustIing Young Farmer.

Mr.. Bryan Miller has just come
home from Illinois, where he has
been employed on farm. Bryan
was working on one of the big
farms in Illinois, and his princi-
pal aim was to take note of the
modern methods of farming. He
has a fine farm here and will farm
at home this year. There are 25
acres of wheat on his farm which
is a nice prospect. He expects to
plant tobacco and corn in accord
ance with his wheat crop.
Bryan is hustling young far
mer of the modern type, and is
sure to make good. There is no
one that has more pleasing dis,
position or business like appear
ance than has Bryan, and his So
cial qualities are far above par.
To say such young man will ul-
timately succeed is only putting it
in the least obvious way. We
need our country filled with such
enthusiastic young men.

Children kept in school six days
instead of five will naturally learn
more. Their advancement will be

SEED CORN DEALERS
ARE GIVEN WARNING.
Department of Marketing Points
to Penalty of Selling Seed Of
Low termination.

| Pierre, S. d. April 10---The director Of
I the department of marketing has given
out the following statement for the In
formation and protection of farmers
| buying seed corn and warning distrib-
| uters of poor seeds:
| Inc department of marketing has
been Informed through reliable sources
that considerable corn is being sold In
the state, especially in the southern part
thereof, with the implied understanding
that same is suitable for seed and q
reasonable percentage will grow. 1t
develops from information and tests
made by the county agents and other
reliable authorities that much of the
corn so offered is almost worthless for
seed, 1t not testing in many cases over
20 per cent in termination. A 1917
statute (Chap. 12) requires the seller OF
seeds in quantities more than one
pound to label the same plainly when
sold with the termination test, showing
the per cent of seeds that will grow.
But the purchased may waive this pro-
vision of the law by voluntarily accept
Ing the seed without requiring same to
De labeled 1t is violation of law
for which person may be prosecuted
and punished to wrongly label seeds Of
fered for sale. Persons buying seed
are urged to protect themselves against
lmpositions and fraud by requiring all
seed corn to be labeled according to
law. or to satisfy themselves by tests at
.lme or purchase that the corn offered
for seed is suitable for that purpose,
This is very important in order that
people may not be induced to pay large
prices for corn that is WORTHLESS for seed
purposes"
The department Of marketing en-
phasizes the following: TEST all seed
before putting it into the ground. Take
no chances on your crop being failure,
The plating OF seed with a low germi-
nation test will spell disaster to the
states corn crop. 1t is Il patriotic duty
md business obligation on the farmers
Of the state to plant only seed that will
grow"
