Wood Block Eioors.

Creosoted wood blocks, already ex- tensfvely used as paving material for city streets. have been coming into use as flooring for the last four or five years according to the Forest serv- ice. Its durability. noiselessness un- der heavy traffic. and sanitary prop critics are it's chief advantages for paw ing and also give 1t special value for making floors. especially for use where heavy trucking. the moving of heavy machinery, or other severe use makes the maintenance of floors a serious problem. It's rather high cost 1s Its chief disadvantage.
 Wood block Is now widely used for flooring in factories. warehouses, ma chine shops, foundries, .ous types of platforms. wharv' --cks, and for such miscellaneous purposes as ho- tel kitchens hospitals. laundries, and slaughter houses. Possibly one of the oldest of these usessis for the floors of wild animal cages and runways. Notwithstanding the recent increase In the use of wood block for these purposes. it is believed that the growth of this industry will be even more rapid in the future.

MADE.I .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 troiler 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 hlueing 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 fin a battalion of soldiers.
 Stories without even a vestige of cast" snid 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 dlssipate 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 yagrant 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"

CORN WILL WIN DEMOCRACY'SWAR
America'S Greatest Cereal Crop Is Now Moving to
 Market.
MAINSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat Of the United Statss Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
 snsd Europe.

Americas great corn crop, exceed ing 5000. .OOO. 900 bushels. will save the worlds food situation. officials of the United States food administration be- ueve
 Corn is the nations best food cereal, housewives are beginning to realize. It contains all the clements 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 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 Tn the crisis of war. Just us 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 10 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 mixture Is worked and baked fin 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 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.

Although the day was cold and Woman's Missionary Society was held at the church. The president, Mrs. Matte Anderson, conducted the devo- tional exercises by reading 'The Stew ardship of Prayer" from the Mission ary Voice This was Pledge Day too. but the pledge cards had not been re ceived but We hope to have same by Monday afternoon. when they will be distributed.
 For many years the women of the Missionary Society have been buying liberty bonds for the women and chil- dren of the world They had not hit upon the happy name that some one in an inspired moment has given our na- tional bond issue for war expenses. They called their investment by the very ordinary name of pledge.
 But they have made their gifts real izing the tremendous import of them and remembering how great service their money would perform for human { ity by making the world place of mercy and love.
 Mrs Victor G. Barnett was unanim- ously elected first vice president and will have charge of the young people 8 work.
 Their program for February is Japan, and it promises to be very interesting. The hymn Beautiful Japan" has re gently been published in leatiet form and it is the wish of one of our faithful missionaries to Japan that the young people learn this hymn.

The Question of Time

No person e .rols his own time. Millions in mo. y or a world of inf1u ence can't secure an additional hour be yond our allotted time. because our time is in Gods hands. Yet some peo- pie live and act as if they controlled their own time and are responsible to no one for the use or abuse of it.
 There are one hundred and sixty eight hours in every week and many people , are too ungrateful or indifferent to spend three hours of this time on the Lords day in grateful worship of their Maker. God is our Benefactor in in numerable ways, and what would such people think if they turned benefactor to other people. and these others treat ed them as they treat God? One of the old prophets asked the question Twill a man rob God?" Isn't it fact that many to day rob God of time and ser vice? If you are guilty confess your guilt to God and give God three hours service in some church next Sunday and every Sunday after that. Don't forget the cordial welcome and the helpful services in Dermott's popular homelike church. the Presbyterian church. Good ssinging is always a part of the services Next Sunday.

When l hear my country's call. To be at home with you, dear girl. Ia happiness, that is true. But cannot see the enemy, If stay at home with you. Just to be at home with you, dear, Those beautiful happy days. But now it makes me blue, To think that am so far away. Some day in the far future, This great conflict will end, And the soldier boy who loves you, Will come to you again. It is the duty of every girl. Who is left behind. To remember the boy she loves. Is on the firing line.
 did not want to leave you. But have come to risk my life. 1 am a true American. And uphold the Stars and Stripes. The girls here are beautiful, Most everywhere l roam, But are nothing to compare. With the ones left at home. When the boys are marching by. In step with our American hymn, It thrills my heart to know, That l am one of them. l told you as l kissed those Lips of yours SO sweet, That l was going to leave you. And perhaps we'll never meet. Don't give up my little darling, If you love me you will wait, If We don't meet on earth again, We will meet at the golden gate. Some girls are not SO patient. They will not wait 90 long, But they will go and marry a stacker When her soldier boy Is gone. When he goes to fight the battles. For his country and for you, His thoughts are still resting. On the one he thinks Is true. When he returns in years to come. And finds that you are false, His life will be ruined And his happiness will be lost. Don't bear the strain, Let your love be true. Greet the boys in Khaki. As they come marching through. Throw your arms around him. Let him kiss your sweet lips. And he will joyfully tell you. About his joyful trip. Do not respect the stacker, They deserve not even a chance, The boys who you should know. Are the boys who went to France. 1 will close, forever hoping. That you will be mine some day, And bid you goodbye for the hour, And goodbye for the day. If it is goodbye for month, love you true as ever, Probably goodbye for year. Probably goodby forever

II happened in the Infdnts'
 Wear Store

Here is an interesting lit- tie story about our store for little folks, which, after all, is a very big and a very important depart ment in this store.
 The scene of the story takes us to the second floor.
 The time was just a few days ago.
 Characters-a very excel lent saleswoman and a customer who was "just passing through"
 The customer who was "just passing through" hesitated a moment at a little display of infants coats. The saleslady, who was very intelligent, approached her, saying: May I serve you?" "I was just as s in g through" said the cus- toner, land I'm in a hur- ry, but you might show me some infants coats." The customer was inn pressed with our infants coats and by their prices and bought three of them. Now, said the intelligent saleswoman, what else may I show you" Moth ing," said the customer, as my little ones wear only handmade dresses" And she said it as though she were very sure we had no handmade dress eS.
 "But,' said the s a e S. woman, i've have an un- usually attractive stock of handmade infants dresses, and l certainly would appreciate the op- portunity to show them to you."
 Now, to prevent this story from becoming any longer, the customer who was "just passing through" bought 140.OO worth of infants wear in our Infants Wear Shop. She mentioned the names of three of the leading speciality shops in New York City, where she had been in the habit of buy ing infants wear. She was from south Alabama and on her way to New York. She very frankly stated that our assort- ments were as complete, our qualities as fine and our prices more reason able than she had ever en- joyed from the New York stores.
 That's a true story and if you like you may have the lady'S name.
