AmerlCa'S Greatest Cereal Crop Is Now Moving to
 Market.
MAINSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat of the United Statea Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
 ened Europe.

America's great corn crop, exceed ing 3,OOO,OOO,0OO bushels, will save the worlds food situation, officials of the United States food administration be- Ieve
 Corn is the nations best food cereal, housewives are beginning to realize. It 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. h. 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 1t served as a 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 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 a 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 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. It comes from the germ of the corn.

SERVICE FLAGS BECOMING
 GENERAL OVER COUNTRY

Little Rock, Jan. 7.-J. s. Speed, a member of the State Council of De fense, is urging all patriotic citizens who are displaying flags in front of their homes or places of business, to remove the tattered and faded em- blems and put up new ones. Let us show respect for the flag by not ex- hibiting ragged ones" <" said MT Speed
 The service flag is also becoming quite popular throughout the country, and many of them are being shown in Little Rock by firms, individuals, and even churches. The First Christian church yesterday unfurled a service flag with 24 stars on it at a special patriotic meeting, addressed by Gov. Brough.

MOVES ID RUSH TIE
 UNLOADING (lF CABS
New Demurrage Charges Make 1t Expensive to Hold Them Change Now Effective-TwO Days Free Time Allowed.

Washington, Jan. 6.-To promote more prompt unloading of freight cars Director General McAdoo today estab- lished new railroad demurrage rules for domestic traffic, effective January 21, continuing the present two days free time, but providing for increases ranging from 50 to 100 per cent charges thereafter.
 The director general appealed to shippers and consignees to keep on releasing cars to meet the national emergency and to make special efforts even before the higher demurrage charges go into effect to clear termin- als as contribution to the success of the war. The necessity for action was emphasized by report from A. II. Smith, assistant director general in charge of operations east of the Mis- sissippi river, that Accumulation is increasing at points east of Pittsburg and Buffalo" Mir Smith reported that the situation was due largely to cold weather, but that sickness among trainmen and engineers and scarcity of labor has necessitated extensive curtailment of rail service.
 The new demurrage rates approved by the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion on request of the director general are $3 per car for the first day after the two free days; $4 for the second day and $1 additional for each suc- ceeding day until the charge per day reaches BIO.
 This maximum then will be charged for every day or fraction thereafter. Existing demurrage rates in most sec- tions of the country are $1 for the first day after the two days free time, $2 for the second day, $3 for the third day, $5 for the fourth day and for each day thereafter. Even these rates are substantially higher than those which prevailed a year ago, and which were raised. last spring when conges- tion on eastern railroads became acute Much higher rates are charged on the Pacific coast and in several other dis tricts.

FOOD SITUATION IN
 ENGLAND CRITICAL
25,000 Said to Have Resisted Elf forts to Move Them From Rus sia-Authorities Are Power less Against RevOlterS-

London, Jan. 5.-A dispatch receiv- ed here from the Russian wireless ser vice says that 25,000 German soldiers in the region east of Kovno have re- volted. German deserters said that in consequence of the government draft ing all soldiers below the age of 35 for dispatch to the western front, the aforementioned number of men re- belled and marched out of the battle line.
 They then entrained themselves with rifles and machine guns against the other German units. The Ger man military authorities have been powerless against the revolters and are trying to cut off their food sup ply. The German deserters declared that one of the motives for the revolt was that the sending of troops to the western front was a contravention of the Russo-German armistice agree ment.

Conditions in France and Italy Probably Are Even Worse Conditions in Germany and Austria Worst Still.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The food situ- ation in the allied countries of Europe is graver than it has been at any time since the beginning of the war and is giving American government officials deep concern. Official reports picture extreme food shortages in England, France and Italy.
 The fact that conditions in Ger many and Austria are far worse offer the only grounds for optimism in view ing the situation.
 In England and France the situation is described as critical in a cablegram to the food administration today from Lord Rhondda, the British food con troller, which concluded with these words:

 Governor Brough expressed his be- lief in the 2250 aeroplanes which we are now building, as one of the decid- ing factors in the war. He was also very optimistic of the mortality rate of our army at the front, which he said was much lower than one would think. He branded a number of false reports beieng circulated over the country, as lies. Vaccinating the ne- groes three times, she shooting of spies for poisoning water at the camps were two which he said were untrue.

GERMANY SUSPENDS
 PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
Teutons Refuse to Move to Stock holm, as Russians Demanded Socialists Are Causing Ger many Considerable Anxiety.

New York, Jan. 6-The peace ne- gotiations between the central powers and the Bolshevil1i government in Russia have been temporarily sus- pended" by the Germans.
 From the meager advices received, it appears the rock upon which con- tinuation of the pour parlers split was the demand of the Russians that the conference be resumed at Stockholm instead of at Brest-Litovsk. Dissatis- fled with the proposals for peace made by the Teutonic allies, before the re- cess of the Brest-Litovsk conference. Leon Trotsky, the Bolsheviki foreign minister, had been insistent on the de- Alterations being held on neutral soil instead of at the German headquar- ters. The Germans had been equally as firm in their determination not to treat with the Russians at any other place than Brest-Litovsk.
 German advices Saturday were that the Bolsheviki delegates on finding that the representatives of the Teu- tonic allies were at Brest-Litovsk awaiting them, had started for this town, but nothing has come through to show that these had any foundation in fact. The decision of the Germans to discontinue the sittings were ar rived at during a crown council held in Berlin Saturday, which was attend ed by Field Marshal von Hindenburg and General von Ludendorff, first quar termaster general.
 A belated dispatch from Berlin gives as the reason for the refusal of the Germans to consider Stockholm place where peace might be ad- vantageously discussed the fear that British, French and American diplo- mats in the Swedish capital would by intrigue render all endeavors futile.
 Dispatches from Berlin indicate that although the Reichstag parties in the main are supporting the gov ernment considerable political unrest is prevalent and that strong efforts are being made to hold the Socialists in line. The Socialists organ in Der lin characterizes the situation as ex- traordinarily serious.

WHY WORRY ABOUT CONCUR.
RENT lEGl6lATloN7

The antiprohibitionists are making
fearsome bugabOo out of the difficult
ties that supposedly will arise from
concurrent enforcement of the prohi-
bitiOn amendment by federal and state
governments. They suggest the possi-
bility Of the inflicting of a double con-
viction for one crime, q conflict be-
tween the laws Of the state and fed
eral government, etc.
As q matter Of history, concurrent
legislation by the federal and state
governments has been tested and
found to work successfully. Atten-
ton was called to this fact by Con-
gresham e. Y. Webb at the time Of
the hearing and vote on the amend
ment in the house,: "COunterfeiting is
peculiarly national offense," said Mr..
Webb, because 1t Is offensive to the
integrity Of the national money, and
yet nearly all the states have statutes
condemning and Furnishing counter
feiting. But there the Jurisdiction is
concurrent, and II the state gets hold
Of counterfeiter first the federal gov.
ernment sometimes let's the state han.
die 1t, but often asks the state to turn
him over to the federal government.
But the states have the right to en-.
force their laws against counterfelters
because the congress has given them
the Jurisdiction"

A TRAITOR 70 HIS OWN BODY.

one OF the strongest arguments that
q physician can offer against the use
Of alcohol is Its parnlyzing effect upon
the white blood corpuscles. These
are our chief agents In defense against
disease. When some morbid element
enters the blood stream 1t Is the duty
Of the white corpuscles to cast out.
But the user Of alcohol Is lacking In
this defense because he has been a
traitor to his own body, taking into 1t
that which destroys the power of his
defenders. This IL the explanation Of
the high death rate when pneumonia,
typhoid, or other serious diseases at
tack habltual drinkers. 1t also ex-
plains the reluctance Of the surgeon
to operate upon heavy drinker. The
patient Is lacking in that vital ele-
ment known as resistance" He has
