BIC CORN CROP
IS NOW MOVING.
More Than 5000 Million Bushels
Raised in 1917-Gives
Big Surplus.
SAVES WORLD FOOD SITUATION
America Beginning Greatest Corn con-
sumption in History, Using Cereal
In Many Delicious Dishes.

Corn, Americas greatest cereal crop,
is now moving rapidly to market.
More than 5000 million bushels
80 bushels for every man, woman and
child in America-were raised in 1917.
1t was 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 puddings, 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 beneflting 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 fighting men
abroad and In the army camps at home
may be fed, and in order that actual
famine may be kept from the nations
associated with America in the war,
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 it 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, mixed with wheat in the making
of lcavened bread.
Mixed with so per cent. wheat -four,
corn meal can be used in bread max
ing, producing loaf more nutritious
than bread baked with wheat alone.
It is fact corn miIlcrs 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 Mt breakfast
with poached egg. or eaten Mt 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 swcetcn corn cakes.
and corn oil for nSe in all kinds Of
cooking, are two more products that
nre alreadv welcomed in thousands of
American homes.

Mr. and Mrs. w. G. Case yesterday
received letter from their son, Ser
geant William G. Case, who is with
the Fifth regiment, U. S. marines. in
France. The letter is dated September
2S and he states that he is in the base
hospital and wounded again, this time.

around and expects to be with his
company before long. Sergeant Case
states that he has received letters
from all his three brothers, Lee Case.
Ralph Case and Chauncey Case, who
are all in Uncle Sans service, and
is in hopes that some day he will meet
at least one of the three.
The four brothers have been in
France for some time, but as yet have
not come in contact with each other.
Sergeant William Case was among the
first Americans to land "over there
and this is the second time he has been

CENTRAL SERVICE STATION
TO GO ON CASH BASIS

To the Public: Among other things
the war economy board of the council
of national defense has requested that
business be conducted as far as pos
sible on cash basis, especially with
respect to the sale of parts. acces-
sories and repairs. Jobbers. dealers
and garage men throughout the coun-
try are acceding to this demand. Plac-
ing business on a cash basis will do
more good to this country than can
be realized by the average dealer who
has been doing business by other
methods.
Compliance with the request of the
council of national defense will result
in saving a large amount of money for
war purposes and will eventually
place business on a much firmer foot
ing. This is especially true of the
dealer where sales are limited He
must realize an actual cash profit on
each transaction. The cash basis is
the most firm foundation upon which
to build
Our service in supplying stock de-
pends absolutely on the cooperation
of customers in placing our business
on cash basis.
On and after November l no credit
will be extended to anyone and all
outstanding accounts must be paid by
that date.

TOO much WORRY
ABOUT INFLUENZA
(From the New York SUM


To the Editor of The Sun-Will you
allow me to point out that the so
called Spanish influenza" is a very
old complaint, and that perhaps good
deal more is being made of it than is
necessary?
1t is epidemic catarrh, character
lied by acute Inflammation of the mu-
cous membrane of the air passages,
attended by sever constitutional dis
turbances. followed by great debility,
sometimes continuing for several
months" 1t is moderately infectious
and is caused by the bacillus infiu-
enzae, and has been known as a ca
tarrhal disease since 1923. So at least
we learn through DR.. Frank Baker of
Washington, d. c., who supplied the
medical terminology in the prepara-
ton of the Standard dictionary.
In addition to this we owe to spe-
cialist correspondent the fact that this
disease has been known to man under
a variety of names. For instance, in
Andrew Jacksons time (1S29) it was
known as "Jackson's itch"
When Tyler was in the political
arena his opponents called it "Tyler's
grippe"-a name of which the latter
word has survived for years and is
still in use in our own time. This
word grippe" is one of the French
names for influenza
To the Russians it is known as Chi
nese catarrh." The Germans were
wont to call it the Russian pest
(shades of Lenine and Trotzky-would
that they were shades!)
The Italians appropriately call il
the German disease, for it reached
them through Teutonic sources, and
the French called it also the Italian
fever. no doubt associating it with the
Roman fever, and Spanish catarrh, but
20 them belongs the credit of intro
ducing the term Influenza" as a
generic name.
This, they are said to have done in
the seventeenth century when they at
tributed the disease to certain astro-
nomical influences.

to help more the children of Belgium
so they may live. We want to thank
you for the splendid results which
have helped to maintain the lives OF
these babies. But you are not doing as
much as you should. This last month
was particularly poor one. Let US
try and do better from now on, for
the wintry months are setting in and
these Belgian babies in Holland are
without relations of any kind and are
Ill from under nourishment and ex-
posure. Let's all mother" them by
sending our pennies and dimes to keep
them.
The jars which have been placed
in the different stores and banks in
town are waiting for your conrtribu-
tions. Don't pass by without dropping
in your spare change. Remember,
EVERY PENNY COUNTS.
Babies may be adopted at any time
and information may be obtained from
the committee in charge. There are
many employees in stores. lodges and
different institutions all over the
state adopting babies. Why don't
you?
