of the unfurling of the flag, the
clouds cleared away from the sun,
which cast out it's golden rays, thus
making a beautiful effect.

KING KORN= Is AIMING
WALLOP AT The KAISER
lRy limited Pressl

p Lincoln, Neb., July 2.-1f the
kaiser could be induced to take a
daylight airplane ride over the great
farming section of the central
plains, including most of Nebraska
and, Kansas, today, he would start
a peace offensive by wireless at once.
.l$' Food for the world is growing and
ripening on millions Of acres, giving
promise of year Of comparative
plenty for America and her associ-
ates in the war. Wheat harvest is
ceson under most favorable condi-
tions throughout much of this sec
ton, and corn, which has had a fine
growing season, is being .1aid by
in central Kansas and is developing
rapidly in Nebraska.
The widespread scare about seed
corn last winter and spring was
wholesome thing for the crop now
developing. So general was the test
ing of seed before planting, on ac-
count of warnings sent out by state
agricultural colleges that much seed
corn had been killed during the
winter, that practically all corn
planted terminated we'll, and a good
stand was general.
Heavy rains and plenty OF sun
shine have contributed much to de-
velopment Of what promises to be a
kaiser-killing food crop.
Food administration propaganda
has made corn one of the important
human food crops. Once looked up
ericanon as hog feed, corn now is
eaten in many forms by almost every
American family, and will be one Of
the staple articles Of food during
the next war year. Corn flour is
largely used among the wheat sub
stitutes now, and the nation has
learned to relish corn bread of many
kinds
