CORN WILL, WIN DEMOCRACY'SW WAR America'S 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.

America's great corn crop, exceed ing 3,000,00Q,000 bushels, will save the worlds food situation, officials of the United States food administration be- leve.
 Corn is the nations best food cereal, housewives are beginning to realize. It contains all the elements needed to keep the body in q 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 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 coonists from famine on many occasions, just as 1t served as a staple food during the War of the Rev olution and during tie Civil War, King Corn has again come to the front in the nations battle with autocracy.
 Corn meal is finding greatly increas- cd 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 a mixture is worked and baked in the same recipes and with the same method; that apply to straight wheat bread
 Corn bread--using corn meal entire 1y-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 a 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.

smashed. The aviator was picked up for dead, but in five days he was ready for another fly.
 The prize story of the camp con- cerns Harry Harris, of California, who got lost, first in the clouds, and then in Central Italy. He was a couple of hours going away and a whole week coming back to camp. As he afterwards explained, he went up for an altitude and when he got above the clouds he was unable to discover whether he was flying up- side down or right side up, or wheth- CT the earth was above or below him.
 Finally, after gazing few moun- tain tops of the Appennines, he light ed in the center of the village square, begging for something to eat. As he couldn't speak Italian, his explana- ton that he was Americana" didn't satisfy the local police, who had never heard of American aviators in Italy but had heard lot about those of Austria who have the unpleasant habit of dropping bombs on coast towns along the Adriatic.
 However, he was fed and started campwards, after 8 couple of days

MADE-IN- N-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 a battalion of soldiers.
 Stories without even vestige of foundation have been scattered broad east" 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.
 Tt 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"

German Attempts to Force Flemish
 Language on Belgians Is Failure

have completely failed and the gov ernment has had to confess itself beaten. The supporters of the Ger man scheme among the Belgium pop ulation are known as "Activists," and are very unpopular among the major ity of their fellow citizens. An "Activitists' demonstration" was ar ranged in Brussels recently and was much exploited in the German press at the time But according to the Echo Beige, the demonstration was fiasco.
 "Instead of 5000, the audience was only 1,00G," says the newspaper. Moreover, third of these were Dutch and another third Germans, partly in uniform. The procession to the market-place was attacked as soon as noticed by the crowd, not withstanding the protection of the local police. Next time there may be a riot. Now the Activitists are be- ginning to divide into Maximalists and Minimalists and are becoming very difficult for their German boss es to handle"

 Amsterdam, Jan. 23.-After more than three years of efforts the Ger man authorities in Belgium have to admit the failure of their attempt to drive wedge between the two races and languages in Belgium. The un- ity of Belgium still exists, and there are signs that the Germans have given up, at least for the time being, their attempt to break it up.
 The authority for this statement is the German propagandist weekly in Holland, the Toekomst, which states that the present policy of the gov ernor general in Brussels is "more moderate," and that Berlin ap- proves this policy as means of gaining peace" The article. con- cludes by advising the advocates of the former German policy to "steer a middle course and give up their flourishes of rhetoric"

 American Aviation Training Camp, Southern Italy, Jan. 23.-"You can't kill an American," is the dictum of the Italian officers training the sev- eral hundred young aviators who have been flying here since the end of September, when, by arrangement with the Italian government, this camp was established.
 The Americans have such repu- tation for luck that Italian soldiers come here so they may touch one of the aviators. "It brings us good luck, too," they explain.
 The Americans fly from morning until night virtually every day. Not a single one has been killed and but three have been injured at all se- riously. One of the latter, on his third trip alone, got into an air sit uation which he did not understand, with the result that he stopped his motor, whereupon the machine be- gan to plunge downwards until it's fall was checked by the telegraph wires of the railway station of the nearby city. Thence the machine dropped to the ground and was

Fayetteville, Ark, Jan. 23.--A large increase in the output of Red Cross supplies by young wombn students in the University of Ark ansas will come as a result sf the action of the department of holhr economics in turning over all is rooms and sewing machines for the use of the Red Cross at all hours of the week when not used for cla1s room purposes. Mrs. Martin Nd- son, who has had experience in ST. pervising Red Cross work among fhe women of Fayetteville, and Mus.

 In response to an inquiry made by young women of the university the Red Cross officials at Washington stated that the university workers are in the best position to make str- gical dressings since that work IT, quires careful supervision.
