AERIAL GUNNERY
 TRAINING OF THE AvIATORS SEVERE:

Lake Charles, La, June 12.-Avia- tors from training camps throughout the country are completing their ed ucation in aerial gunnery at the new finishing school near here. From sunrise to sun set the planes are dart ing here and there, sometimes near the earth and again at high attitudes and the rattle of machine guns is all most continuous.
 The targets at the first school of it's kind to be established in the United States, are reproductions of 'taube" airplane placed on the surface of the lake and with a black cross painted thereon to represent the enemy pilot. the principal mark for the gunners. The students easily discern the strik- ing of bullets on the water and are able to correct their fire almost in stantly if the shots go wide. The re- suits instructors declare, are more than gratifying but just what records the young fliers have made is infor- . nation withheld from the public.
 The training in gunnery is as com p1ete as it is humanly possible to make it. Before being sent to the camp the students are required to un- dergo a course of ground schooling al Gerstner Field, near here. From Gerstner Field they go to the lake and in classes of thirty are put to work on the "taube" and a small aerial tar get released at an altitude of about 5000 feet. The students are graded according to their proficiency in fir ing and when they make the percen- tage of hits required are discharged from the school.
 Both the small machines, carrying only pilot, and the larger plane witt a pilot and observer, are in use at the school.

One million American soldiers and
sailors are preparing to go over the
top without taking care of their fam
lilies. If they are killed or rendered
helpless by wounds, their dependents
must rely upon charity for daily
bread.
The last day on which men in the
Federal service can take out the in
surance that the Government pro-
lvides is Tuesday, February IL. After
that, applications are refused.
The Michigan War Preparedness
Board estimates that there are fully
10000 Michigan men with the. colors
who have been negligent in this re-
spect. In statement issued today
the Board urges wives, mothers and
children to write or even wire their
relatives in the service to take out an
insurance policy before it is too late.
Premiums may be paid out of the
mans wages monthly. The average
cost is only 20 cents per 1000 per
month. Policies are written from ST.
600 to $4,000. In case of death OF
injury, policies are paid in monthly
linstallments for twenty years.
eff your husband, father or son has
not insured himself in your favor,
urge him to do So" says the Board.
aft he does not do so, you may face
staration because of his carelessness.
Should be come home a helpless Grip
ple and he is not insured, you must
support yourself and him, too.

BIG CORN CROP
IS NOW MOVING
More Than 5000 Million Bushels
Raised In l917-Gives
Big Surplus.
SAVES WORLD FOOD SITUATION
America Beginning Greatest Corn Con-
sumption In History, Using Cereal
In Many Delicious Dishes

Coru, Americas greatest cereal crop.
Is now moving rapidly to market
More than 5000 million bushels
30 bushels for every man, woman and
child In America-were raised In 1917.
1t was a mighty crop. The actual in
crease is about 500 million bushels.
And this extra store of grain is COM
ing on TO the market In the nick of
time, since the American wheat sur
plus has been sent to help feed famine
threatened Europe.
Just as 1t happened In the Colonial
days, the War of the Revolution. and
the Civil War, corn has actually be-
come the nations mainstay.
In the entire list OF Americas food
commodities there is no item that is
better than corn. In buildings, bread,
corn pone, and as hominy combined
with meat or eggs, corn Is without a
peer. Housewives are fast learning
the large number OF delicious dishes
that may be made with corn and their
families are benefiting by an increas-
ed use OF the cereal. Corn, more than
any other cereal. contains all of the
elements essential to maintaining life
and health.
In order that the lighting men
abroad and In the army camps at home
may be fed, and In order that actual
famine may be kept from the nations
the citizens of America are finding
corn products delicious and palatable
on "wheatless days" and glory in the
fact that "wheatless days" here mean
more wheat for the war worn allied
nations in Europe.
England, France and Italy must be
fed from Americas great storehouse.
They will get some corn-especially
Italy-but most of their grain ship
ments must be wheat. Their ability
to use corn is small compared to the
facilities they have for using wheat.
And II Is the opinion OF officials In
Washington that the present is no time
to try and change the eating habits OF
Europe.
Americas greatest use OF corn will
be in the form OF corn bread and corn
meal, InlAeu Will WHEAT III ihc hionihs
OF leavened bread.
Mixed with so per cent. wheat flour
corn meal can be used In bread max
ing, producing loaf more nutritious
than bread baked with wheat alone
II Is fact corn millers will verify
that dozens OF the large American bak
ers have been successfully using corn
flour In bread making for several
years.
Hominy grits, served at breakfast
with 4 poached egg, or eaten at any
other meal with meats or gravy. Is an
other use OF corn that will become un
usually popular during the war.
Corn syrup to sweeten corn cakes
and corn oil for use In all kinds OF
cooking, are two more products thai
are already welcomed in thousands OF
American homes.

THE UNITED STATES FOOD
ADMINISTRATION SAYS

Food saving Is In its essence the
daily individual service Of all the
people. Every urour can susstl-
tute. and even the great majority
Of thrifty people car save little
and the more luxurious elements
Of the population can, by reduc-
ton to simple living, save much.
This means no more than that we
should eat plenty, but wisely and
without waste.

Cutting Up the Wood

East Lansing.-Foresighted farm
ers who have woodlots capable Of sup
plying cordwood should take time by
the forelock, in the opinion of A. X,
Chittenden, head Of the department of
forestry at M. A. c., and make ready
now to meet 1875 fuel demands.
"The unusually heavy drain this
season upon the available supply OF
dry cordwood means that much Of this
will be cleaned up this winter" says
Professor Chittenden, "and if events
follow their wonted course this will
bring about a shortage in 1919. Men
who have woodlots from which cord
wood can be obtained, and who have
as well the labor necessary for cut
ting it, would do well to get out as
large supply as possible now. This
green wood, if dried during the sum-
mer, will stand the state in good stead
in 1919"

upon staying all night at the home Of

imagine the kind Of trip the sheriff
had. He arrived at the Jail at two
o'clock in the morning, after a very
strenuous journey in the storm, hav-
ing tipped over once during the re-
turn.
The man who was refused shelter
was on his way from a point in the
southern part Of the state to visit q
relative in this county. He is about
So years old, and was said to have
Gated queerly. It was cold out Of
doors, and he did not want to continue
on his long walk during the night
and it is good thing that he did not.
The farmer did not want to keep the
traveller over night, so he called up
on the sheriff to come ABBOTT IL miles
to bring the man to jail for the night.
