Newport $4,000 Over Quota.

Although some thought Newport
was slow with its subscription to the
Fourth Liberty Loan, Saturday saw
the raising of an honor flag by the
city clerk and it was announced that
Newport had subscribed S176,6OO or
$31 900 more than it's quota.
Newport does not wish to appear
boastful but all who have seen Chair

fact that the city went over the top
in the way it did, and the city is proud
of its captain in this campaign.

Use More Corn Products.


Use More Corn Products.
Although the restrictions on the
use of wheat flour have been made a
little less rigid in the past few weeks
we have no right to lessen our con-
servation efforts. When we realize
that the United States must furnish
at least 100000 tons of foodstuffs
as her share in feeding the Allies
during the next year, we are con-
WINGED that we must only renew our
efforts. We are asked to use corn
products in just as many ways as we
can. Why not vary your menus by
adding one of the following dishes?
Baked Hominy and Cheese.
1 tablespoon butter or drippings
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup milk
IL teaspoon paprlka
y to 1 cup cheese cut fine
2 cups cooked hominy
Il cup bread crumbs
l teaspoon salt
Make a sauce of the fat, cornstarch
and milk. Add the cheese and paprika
to the sauce, arrange the hominy in
baking dish, and pour the sauce over
it. Cover with crumbs and bake 20
minutes IN moderate oven.
Spider Corn Bread.
1 egg
IA cups milk and water
] cup corn meal
1-3 cup flour
tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon shortening
Beat egg in bowl and add one cup
of milk and water; stir in corn meal,
flour, sugar, salt and baking powder
sifted together; turn into a frying
pan in which shortening has been
melted. Pour the remaining milk
over it but do not stir. Bake about
rs minutes in a hot oven. There
should be a line Of creamy custard
through the bread. Cut into triangles
and serve.
Corn Meal Crust.
Grease pie plate we'll. Cover with
raw corn meal, giving the plate a
rotary motion so that the layer OF
the meal will stick to the plate about
one-sixteenth of an inch in thickness
Fill the plate with pumpkin pie mix,
ture Bake in a hot oven. Any soft
pie filing usually baked with the
crust may be substituted for the
pumpkin mixture.
Corn Meal with Meat.
Have you ever used rice, corn mea
mush or hominy for a crust on {
meat pie? This is less work than {
pastry and saves wheat.
Tamale Pie.
2 cups corn meal

1 tablespoon fat
1 onion

SHIPS WILL APPEAR
IN NAVAL PAGEANT
Sec. Daniels Announces Return to
Home Waters of First Vessel of
United States Navy Sent to
Europe, in New York Harbor
ate This Month.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Return to
home waters of the first ships of the
American armada sent to Europe to
combat German sea power will be
marked by q great naval pageant in
New York harbor about December %
Secretary Daniels announced today
that he will go to New York on the
Mayfower to reveiwe the fleet, which
will be led by Admiral Mayo, COM
mander in chief of the Atlantic fleet,
on his flagship, the Pennsylvania,
wich accompanied President Wilson
to Europe.
In the home coming fleet will be
nine dreadnaughts, 20 destroyers and
more than 40 converted yachts,
mine planters, submarines and other
craft. The destroyer force, part Of
which already is on the way to New
York, includes many Of the vessels
first sent to the war zone and some
of them carry on their tunnels the
stars awarded for destruction Of
German submarines.
Owing to the character Of some
of the craft ordered home, no def
mite date can be set for their arrival
and it is possible that some of the
smaller ships will not get back in
time for the review, which will give
the people of the country an oppor-
tunity to see the fighting ships that
helped materially to defeat the Ger
man menace. Efforts will be made,
however, to bring as many as posi-
BILE of the returning vessels into port
together.
Instructions to Admiral Mayo call
ed for the return of all naval craft
that can be spared. Some portions
of the American forces, however,
must remain on the other side tenn
porarily to complete the work of
carrying out naval conditions of the
arrnistice.
Secretary Daniels announced that
20 destroyers had been ordered home
from Europe to take part in the any,
al review at New York. Eight are
now. enroute home and the other IL
will sail soon.

of the American peace mission, who
has known Paris through long resi-
dence here, said that seldom had
king, emperor or foreign dignitary
ever received such welcome as that

cial significance by the members of
the American mission was that the
French people seemed to be wholly
in sympthy with the presidents pur-
pose.

Industries Board Abolishes Cotton
Committee. All Restrictions on
Sale of South's Staple Ceases
With Reopening of World
Markets.

Washington, Dec. 13.-As the cul-
mination of his activities for two
weeks in connection with the remov-
al of all restrictions on cotton, Sena-
tor E. D. Smith was today informed
by Bernard M. Baruch, chairman of
the war industries board, that he had
accepted the resignation of the COM
mittee appointed recently by the
president to supervise the distribu-
ton of cotton as the price fixing
committee appointed at the same
time ceased to exist several weeks
ago. The abolition Of the distribu-
tion committee ends all relation of
the war industries board and the
rnment with any price fixing
supply or distribution Of cotton.
Senator Smith is optimistic over
the cotton situation, stating that the
world, with Germany and her allies
eliminated, is consuming 14,500,000
bales of American cotton, that when
peace is declared and the enemy
'ountry is open to cotton it will pro-
vide a market for something like
100000 bales additional. About
100000 tons of shipping have been
released for export trade and. the
situation now is that there probably
will be demand for 100000 or
100000 bales of American cotton
with a supply totally inadequate to
meet it. The outlook therefore,
based on the law of supply and de-
mand, is brighter for higher prices
for cotton than it has been, since the
War Between the States.

TO BECOME EFFECTIVE
JANUARY Fl, NEXT
Long Distance Charges for Wire Ser.
vice Lowered Under Basic Ar
rangement-To Equalize Toll
and Long Distance Charges
Over the Country.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Sweeping
reductions in long distance and toll
telephone rates by the adoption of a
basic charge Of six and one-fourth
mills mile, air line mileage, and
half the day rate for night service
up to midnight and one-fourth the
day rate after that hour, were an
nounced today by Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson, to become effective
next January FL.
The new rates were recommended
in the first report Of the committee
on rate standardization and Mr.. Bur-
leson's statement said their effect is
to equalize the toll and long distance
charges over the country, removing
disparities and preferences and pro-
viding a scientific basis for future
reductions contemplated as unifica-
ton of telephone and telegraph wires
proceeds"
"A night service rate" said the
statement, (which is one-half the day
rate is established between $3.50 and
IL p. m. Between midnight and
4:30 a. m. the night rate is one
fourth the day rate. These are great
or reductions in night rates than has
ever been made in any country, and
doubtless will be extensively used,
especially for social and family pur-
poses. A person might talk from
San Francisco to New York for
about 81, whereas the day rate is
approximately SIG.
i is stated by the committee that
nce than go varieties of toll rates
have existed in the United States up
o the present time. The effect of
this uniform or basic rate in the
station to station service is to reduce
or not affect about 70 per cent. of
the rates, though necessarily slightly
raising 80 per cent. in the process of
Standardization.
