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
30 bushels for every man, woman and
child in America-were raised in 1917.
1t was a 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 it happened in the Colonial
days, the Wal 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 buildings, 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-
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 wal worn allied
nations in Europe.
England, France and Italy must be.
fed from Americas great s~torehouse.
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 hat 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 flour,
corn meal can be used in bread maxi
ing, producing a loaf more nutritious
than bread baked with wheat alone.
1t is a fact orn millers will verify
that dozens of the large American bak-
ers have beer successfully using a corn
flour in bread making for several
years.
Hominy grits, served at 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.

THE UNITED STATES FOOD
ADMINISTRATION SAYS

Food saving is in it's essence the
daily Individual service of all the
people. Every group can substi-
tute, and even the great majority
of thrifty people can save a little
and the more luxurious elements
of the population can, by reduc-
ton to simple living, ave much.
This means no more than that we
should eat plenty, but wisely and
without waste.

Celebrated Minsirels are Conins.

The minstrel fans of this vicinity will
be pleased to learn that one of the very
best and largest minstrel organiza-
tions on the road is to appear in this
city Wednesday, Oct. 23rd, 1918.
Possibly certain people have forgot
ten that they are minstrel fans be-
cause it has been SO long since they
had an opportunity to see q really first
class minstrel-howeyer the fever or
minstrel microbe will get them when
the richly dressed parade of Harvey's
Greater Minstrels passes over our
streets at noon the day they appear
here.
The amusement questionhas by some
people always involved the ''question.
able amusement" question. but that
theme is never aroused by the coming
of high class minstrel. Base ball
games, q good circus and an up to date
minstrel seem to be at least three
forms of amusement which are never
questioned even by the most scrupu-
lous.
Laughter, the creating of laughter is
the purpose of a minstrel as we'll as the
rendering of tuneful music and pleas.
ing songs. The minstrel man has been
known from almost the beginning of
this worlds history and was we'll
known by the writers of Biblical af-
fairs. 1t is this very characteristic of
the minstrel which makes it capable Of
appealing to all classes and when the
Harvey Greater Ministries appears in
this city Wednesday, Oct. 23rd,> there
will be seen hundreds of people in the
theatre who are not habitual theatre
goers.
The Harvey Greater Ministries was
this season organized and is owned by
R. NJ. Harvey, we'll known circus
man who has for years been spending
money in the circus business like money
was water. The expense of building
an amusement enterprise does not dis
turb him because as manager of one
of the greatest circus enterprises on
the road he learned it is only by the
lavish expenditure of money that sue
cess can be attained. Hence it is not
surprising that Aarvey's Greater Min
strels wear the SWEETEST, most expen-
sive wardrobe ever worn by any min
strel and also that its olio of seven acts
of vaudeville include specialties not to
be outclassed anywhere and the men,
bers of this minstrel are highest salar-
led and the best treated of any min
strel men on the road-the result is
the best entertainment with hundreds
of would-be patrons turned away five
nights out of the week. It seems i'm.
possible to find opera houses large
enough to accommodate the crowds
who want to see Harvey's Greater
Minstrels-moral, buy your seats as
early as possible or attend the matinee.

thirty-seven days from the time the
first rivet was driven. Her whole time
of completion will be, thus, eighteen
days less than even the best previous
American launching time and seventy
two days better than the record COM
pletion time. Both Of those records
were made by the Skinner e. Eddy
yards at Seattle, but the Tuckahoe has
so far eclipsed them that the yards
that have been the wonder of American
shipbuilding are now far in the rear.
In sporting fairness, however. it should
be explained that, while the Tuckahoe
is of $3.50 tons, the Seattle firm made
its records with $500 ton vessels. And
the American Shipbuilding Company, of
Cleveland. which last week launched a
$500 ton vessel in forty-seven days,
must not be overlooked.
Mr.. Schwab made an appeal to the
women Of the shipbuilders in the happy
crowd to back up their men. Knowing
from his own experience, he said, who
is the family boss, he knew that he
was making his appeal in the right
quarter. The launching of the Tuckahoe

and shipbuilding. After Miss Hurley,
daughter of Chairman Hurley of the
Shipping Board, had gracefully and
deftly smashed the embagged bottle
of champagne across the prov of the
receding ship and the band had raced
through "The Star-Spangled Banner"
and the crowd had done it's spontaneous
cheering President NJ A. Kneeland
voiced the company's appreciation of
what its loyal workmen had accom-
plished, and introduced successively
Messrs. Schwab, Hurley and Piez, and
they all united in declaring that the
lions share of the credit for the re-
markable achievement the launching
commemorated was due to the men.
To Be Completed in Ten Days
President Wilson Joined in the
tribute with a letter, which was read
while the men, some in overalls and
most in their Sunday best, grinned
their appreciation. And there was
still more rewarding of merit, for Mr.
Piez announced that the Shipping
Board had decided to give an appro-

he declared to be the hardest blow
shat had been struck at the Kaiser in
many months. The honor Of deliver
ing this blow belonged chiefly to the
workmen. He said that he felt SO en-
Enthusiastically patriotic over the ship
building job that he considered that he
would have done a large part Of his
work if he could make the builders
share his feelings. Once the true
American spirit was aroused nothing
could stop it. "Thank you, boys. thank
the workmen above all. Now, boys, let's
60 to it and to hell with the Kaiser"
Mr.. Hurley's speech follows:
"The United States Shipping Board is
proud Of your achievement in launch-
ing the steamship Tuckahoe, a $500
ton steel ship, in twenty-seven days.
We are particularly pleased to know
that this vessel will be ready for sea
service in forty-two days after the
laying of her keel. We have cabled
the good news to General Pershing, SC
that our boys in France will know how
you are backing them up. I know it
will hearten them in their battles,
just as it will dishearten the Kaiser.
"The New York Shipbuilding Com
pany. with it's group of loyal Ameri-
can 'workmen, has to-day broken all
records in the launching of ship.
You have demonstrated what can be
accomplished by American workmen,
and you have set a pace that will in
