Cost of War.

The government is expending
money at the rate of S24, 600, 900 a
day for the war.
1t is now estimated that by the
end of the first year of Americas
participation in the war, loans to
the allies will have reached FIVE
billions and expenditures for our
own war purposes an equal sum.
This will fall considerably below
the estimates of over eighteen
billions made last April for the
entire year.
1t is believed the third Liberty
loan may not be offered until
March or April.
The shipping board has expend-
ed only little more than $780,
600, 900 for ships and shipyard
construction since last April.

MUST USE CORN
America Must Save The Wheat
For Allies.

Americas great corn crop, exceed
ing 5000, 100000 bushels, will save the
worlds food situation, officials of the
United States food administration be-
lieve.
Corn Is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
1t contains all the elements needed to
keep the body In q: state Of health and
when used according to the scores of
tried recipes, especially when COM
bined with an added portion Of oil or
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In
dian warriors in colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days at a
time, and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration OF
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now, however, the cereal
is reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
Today there are approximately 30
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by FIVE BUSH
els than In former years.
Corn has become the nations main
stay in the crisis of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American colonists from famine on
many occasions, just as 1t served as a
staple food during the War of the Rev
olution and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come to the front in
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
ed use in the making of ordinary white
| bread. Hundreds of housewives and
many of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent. corn meal with wheat
: flour to make leavened bread. This
kind of a mixture is worked and baked
in the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
| bread.
| Corn bread-uslng corn meal entire
! ly-is gaining greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound of
wheat saved in America means a pound
of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America is associ-
ated in the war.
There are a score of corn products
that today possess unusual Importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet.
ening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use in the kitchen instead OF
granulated sugar is one of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn oil, excellent for frying and foI
every other purpose filled by salad oils
Is appearing on the market in large
quantities. 1t comes from the germ OF
the corn.

LIVESTOCK SURVEY
Hogs In Idaho Show Large
Decrease

A survey of the live stock situa-
ton in Idaho January /, 1918, by
the bureau of crop estimates, indi-
Gates that the number of horses
and mules has remained unchang-
ed the past two years, says Julius
H. Jacobson, Idaho field agent.
The dairy industry is gaining
favor, there being an increase Of
5000 mich cows over the previous
wear. Other cattle show sub
stanrial increase, but sheep have
increased very little. There were
some heavy losses during lambing
season last year but there is an in
creasing tendency toward keeping
more sheep on the farm. This
will create a good outlet for the
broken mouthed ewes, which are
not suitable for the range.
The swine industry is unsatis-
factory. Considering animals OF
all ages there has been the serious
decrease of twenty-five per cent as
compared with last year. High
priced feed was responsible fol
much of the heavy unloading.
Figures compiled by the bureau
of crop estimates show that or

which played march music with the
swing and rhythmic impetus of .

army man referred to. and when the
spruce lads swung along, in their
khaki uniforms, he applauded, and 50
did his stan. As soon as the boys had
played their way past the stand the
Presidsnt left. The band was B. =.
Keiths' Boys Band.
In ali the big civic, military and
patriotic parades this spring and
summer this boys band has been
prominent. not alone for its size, but
for the military bearing Of its mem
bers and the fne playing Of these
boy bandsmen, all In their teens.
They have given concerts, too. and
have won praise from such masters OF
the baton as Sousa, Herbert, walter
Damrosch and Nahan FrAnko. Now
they are wanted all over the metro
politan district whenever there is q
public pageant Naturally, the ap-
pearance Of these boy bandsmen In
the great parades arouses general Gu
riosity as to their history. their train
ing, and the responsibility for such

there resolved to organize a boys
club, that would be an influence In
keeping lads on the street by giving
them the necessary rooms and equip
ment for clean and wholesome sport
and entertainment. They discussed
the matter as vastly important In the
community life of the city, and
pledged themselves to work out
something of genuine benefit. Before
their plans had fully matured the
United States went into the war. and
they thought II would be a hne op-
portunity to expand the scope OF the

WHAT IS DEMOCRACY"
SUBJECT OF ADDRESS
Judge Thos. Neill Deals With CUES.
ton From Many Angles--Presi-
dent Holland to Speak Next
Month

Last Tuesday evening a number of
men from the congregation of the
Federated churches, together with
friends, met in the basem ent of the
church and listened to paper by
Judge Thos Neill on What Is De-
mocracy?" DIT was a timely and val
liable discussion of question that
is foremost in the minds of many,
Judge Neill considered his question
from the standpoint of the Deciara-
ton Of independence, which he in
terpreted as meaning that everyone
rs born with an equal right for the
pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.
II was the declaration for the rights
eff everyone to enjoy the privileges Of
the few. He then went on to treat
the question from the different
standpOints of life, political, social,
religious. and educational. and
showed how the ideal of rights of
everyone can be attained when the
relationship which we are taught to
bear to one another is that of serv-
ice rather than that of self-centered
privilege. Following the lecture an
open discussion of the question was
carried on, and many availed them
selves of the opportunity to ask ques-
tiOue of the lecturer
This is the first of a series of such
gatherings. They will be held once
a month. At the next meeting,
President Holland will speak on
Some Of the Tendencies in Modern
Education. The purpose of the
discussions is to help in cur under
standing of the social and economic
and political and religious problems
which confront us now and will con-
front us in the reconstruction per-
led following the war.
