With the American Army in Lor-
raine, Sept. 2O.-Every day brings new
evidence that the Germans, deprived
OF their last wedge menacing France
the one at st. Mihiel, wiped out last
week by the Americans-and them
selves threatened at the very gates Of
the fatherland, are planning a large
scale retreat.
A Belgian prisoner forced to work
on German defense positions, escaped
to our lines during the morning and
brought highly interesting information.
He said he had been working on the
line the Germans had constructed and
were now improving four other lines
Of resistance.
Moreover, he said, the Germans were
now constructing formidable line
running through Belgium. He did not
know its exact location.
Enemy Digging In.
Defense work is going on all along
the Hindenburg line. The latest cap

urges that the German troops be made
to understand the great Importance Of
digging in. despite their natural aver
sion to that kind of warfare.
American artillery broke up two day
light German raids in the Bois de Rap
pes, according to battlefront dis
patches. One of the raids followed a
barrage laid down over a three-mile
front.
American bombing planes heavily at
holds of the new Hindenburg line, en-

Lieut.. f. Luke, Phoenix, Ariz., set
fire to two more German balloons,

He also attacked and brought down
an enemy plane at dusk, capturing the

ROAD BOND ELECTIO

AS predncted in these col

ing, the road uond electnon
passed very quietly with lit
the interest manifested, a.
light vote and a close one.
At this writing, with three
precincts yet to be heard
from, the majority for the
bond issue is just eight. The
three precincts from which
returns have not been re-
ceived as yet are Lochiel,
Salero and Vaughn. In Lo-
chiel there are thirteen tax
payers qualified to. vote
upon the insue. Salero has
six, and in Vaughn the reg

matter of course, some OF
them were away from home

doubt that many who were
at home staid there and did
not go to the polls. Possibly
the three precincts named

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program in
England. 1t is true that the English
man buys loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but 1t IL poorer
bread, and the British government is
paying $20O,00O,0 600. year toward the
cost of 1t.
All the grain grown in Great Brit
ain Is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This is
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at price that allows the adui-
terated war bread loaf Of four pounds
to sell at 18 cents, the two pound loaf
at 9 cents and the one pound loaf at 8
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with larger ex-
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
16 cents.

CORN WILL win
DEMOCRACY'SW WAR
Americas Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to
Market.
MAlNSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat of the United States
MAINsTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat of the United States
Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
ened Europe.

Americas great corn crop, exceed
ing 5000, 900 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.
It contains all the elements needed to
keep the body in 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 80
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 q
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 greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound of
wheat saved in America means a 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.

-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 ad-
ministration.
The stories bothering Canada are
of the same general character as those
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 seize
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 battalion of soldiers.
"Stories without even a 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.
'It 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"

NEED BIC HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate Evea
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their fiocks and
herds In order to meet Europe's tire,
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food adminis-
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown a disposition to
cooperate with the government In In
creasing the nations supply Of live
stock. -. ~
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9TH
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated yir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory - approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines. sf
But In England-where 100000
ed into grain fields-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One Of the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September.
$17.78 per 100 pounds; October, $17.28;
November and December, $t6.08; Jam
larry, $1440. The effect of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number of cattle a.
well as the quality have shown. an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14,807 900 head Of
cattle in 1913, she now has only 12.-
1900, a decrease Of 1876 per cent.
And France is today producing only
one gallon of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland. have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack of necessary feed.
Close study of the European. meat
situation has convinced the Food Adj
ministration that the future problem
of America lies largely in the produc-
ton of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro-
duction of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.
