CUT OUT POLITICS

conservative citizens everywhere will dep>re the at
.ept on he part OF some of misguided statesmen to
reopen the party fights that have been our custom in
years past Nothing at this time could be worse for the
country than bitter political fight throughout the land
every interest of the country demands unity of sentiment
ana action Republican politicians could not hope for ad
vantage except at the expense Of great harm to their
country and such action the part of Democrats could
be nothing but suicidal.
Doubtless there have been mistakes made and bunders
committed-What administration has been free from
them But these mistakes have not been such to call for
political upheava We not ready to admit our ene-
10y that our leaders are unequal to the task required of
them. If the macontents will lay aside personal ambi-
ons and put their shoulders to the wheel in honest en-
eavor to achieve the great task before u.s. they will find
their ambitions much of attainment than by nsti~
eating fight that could have other effect than to en-
barass the administration
If Republican leaders will take Ex-Secretary Roots ad-
vice and forget that they have any political bias and if
the administration will remember that the patriotism of
the Republicans is just deep and fervid their own
we will win through to glorious victory.
Nothing could give our enemy comfort at this
time than for Americans to revive old political contests
and reopen old political sores

BILLIONS FOR DEFENSE

Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo
will offer for subscription every two
weeks between now and the opening
Of tn next Liberty Loan Treasury Ger
tificatcs Of Indebtedness in amounts
of five hundred million dollars or
more. If all the banks Of the country
do their share, and it is contemplated
that they will, three billion dollars of
the certificates will be taken by them
between now and the flotation of the
next Liberty Loan.
The raising Of five hundred million
dollars every two weeks seems trc-
mcndous task, yet in relation to the
banking resources Of the United
states it seems easy Of accomplish
ment.
The resources Of the National banks
of the United States on November 20
half billion dollars and the resources
last were more than eighteen and a
Of state banks and trust companies
on June 20, 1917 were practically
twenty-one billion.
The resources Of both have in
creased since the dates named when
the latest reports were made. The
three billion expected by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury is less than 10
pr cnt of tn banking resources Of the
Nation.
The banking power of the world in
1890 was estimated at fifteen and a
half billion dollars; the banking power
Of the United States is now two and
a half times as great as the banking
power of the world as late as that
year.
The United States is just beginning
to demonstrate its unexampled power
and might. Ie is called upon to defend
the liberty of the world, to preserve
civilization and humanity. 1t is an
swerng in way demonstrate that
it is equal to the task in courage, in
genius, in men and in money.

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.
eumption In History, Using Cereal
In Many Delicious Dishes.

| Corn, Americas greatest cereal crop, .
is no" moving rapidly to market.
More than 5000 million bushels--
80 bushels for every man, woman and
child In Amerlca-were raised in 1017.
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 tho 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 Arerica's food
| commodities there is no item that Ia
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 benefiting by an increas-
cd nSe 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 he 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 tho
fact that "wheatless days" here mean
,,yhn
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 leavened bread.
| Mixed with 80 per cent. wheat -four,
| corn meal can be used in bread max
| Ing, producing loaf more nutritious
| than bread baked with wheat alone.
! 1t Is fact corn millers will verify
that dozens Of the large American bak.
crs have been successfully using corn
flour In bread making for several
| years.
Homny grlts, served Mt breakfast
| with a poached egg, or eaten at 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 sweeten corn cakes
and corn oil for use in all kinds of
cooking, are two more products that
are already welcomed in thousands OF
American homes.
