FACE the FACTS

EFT US face the facts The situation is critical
l. Unless the Allies fight as they never yet have
fought, defeat threatens Hungry men ean9ot ngd'
at their best; nor hungry nations France England
and Italy going hungry unless we feed them.
Wheat saving.-They must have wheat. It is the
best food to fight on It Is the easiest to ship: We
alone can spare to them. By saving just little
less than quarter Of what we ate last year-we can
support those who are fighting our battles, And we
can do it without stnting ourselves. We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn of Plenty-Com is that food. There's
surplus of 1t. Providence has been generous in the
hour of our need 1t has given corn in such bounty
as was never known before. Tons of corn Train
loads of corn Five hundred million bushels over and
above our regular needs. All we have to do is to
learn to appreciate it. was ever patrlouc duty maze
so easy? And so clear?
Americas Own Food-Corn! 1t is the true American
food. The Indians, hardest of races lived on it.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered
continent. For q great section of our country it
has blong cen the staff of life. How we'll the South
fought on it, history tells. Now it can help America
win a world
Learn Somethins-Corn! 1t isn't one food It's a
dozen. It's a cereal. It's vegetable. It's a bread
It's dessert It's nutritious; more food value in it,
dollar for dollar, than meat or eggs or most other
vegetables It's good to eat; how good you don't
know until you've had corn-bread properly cooked
Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic.
Corn. Infinite variety-How much do you know about
corn? About how good it is? About the many
delicious ways Of cooking it? And what you miss
by not knowing more about it? Here few
of its uses
There are at least fifty ways to use corn meal to
make good dishes for dinner supper, lunch break
fast. Here are suggestions
HOT BREADS DESSERTS
Boston brown bread Corn-meal molasses cake
Hoecake. Apple corn bread.
Mullins. Dumpngs.

PRODUCE FORAGE
AND MORE HOGS
Hoos Do Not Like to Eat Corn Alone
Any More Than People Like to
Eat Bread Alone.

J. H. Mcleod, Extension Division,

Rock, Ark, and Fay

HOGS do not like 10 eat corn alone
any more than people would like to
eat bread alone. Why not give the
hogs some vegetables (forage) with
their bread (corn)? They will not
only grow faster and larger, but will
yield a greater profit.
These hogs were litter mates, but
one was fed on corn alone and the
other on corn and forage, Which kind
do you prefer to raise!
Produce more forage and more hogs

 It is queer how merely sitting down in front of a typewriter will start a flow of words trickling out of a hab- itual typewriter user.
 F'rinstance, today we have no thoughts, no ideas, no desires. no inn pulses, remotely connected with get ting out a column. If some one sent us a joke we wouldn't know it. There is neither wit nor humor nor apprc- citation in us For two hours we have sat in front of Q pile of copy paper with a pencil in hand trying to dis, out something. and we have tried Sa vain.
 But now that we sit down to the typewriter, words come " words of course, merely words. * #
 Of course we might select a sub iect of some sort and turn this flow of words loose upon that subject and fool a certain number of persons into the belief that we were really saying something.
 But would that be altogether hon. orable? Does it not seem, on the whole, moro ethical simply to ac- knowledge that we have no ideas and let it go at that?
 Sooner or later the public gets next to you If you try to stall.

If Finland should enter the war on the side of Germany it would make communication with Russia considerably more difficult than it is at present Passengers cn route from this country to Russia via Scandinavia have heretofore crossed the Gulf of Bothnia by ship in the summer and by sleigh when the wa tcrs are frozen up.

CONFERENCE.-THE.
To the Editor of the Herald:

To the Editor of the Herald:
 With great sorrow we read the col unln under the heading "More than ,O0O in July Parade". which said we represented ustrO-Hungaria delegations. We did not represent Austro-Huncarian delegations be- cause although we came from Aus tria- Hungary, we hate her as much as we hate the kaiser; and that is why we demonstrated Austro Hun garian gOVernmc cnt as caricature and that was the witch who keeps in slaV- cry all the Slav people, among whom are also the Uhro- Rusin people whom we represented.
 On the other hand we love the Am
 priCan government which HghtS against the Austro- Hungarian govern ment, and our hope is that when Am erica wins the war, Slav people, and among them IThro- Rusin people, which we on the 4th of July repre- sented will have liberty.
 Therefore, the group of Uhro-Rusin
 people represented in the first part, "BefOrc the War;, ustrO-Hungarlan government, which kept in slavery Uhro~Rusin Tl1raini&n, Bohemian and SIOVak peoples-and in the sec
 ond part that is "Arter the War;, the Uhro-Rusjn people represented

Foolish Statements.
(BOstOn POStO

Many are the cocksure statements made in the United States Senate, la ter turning out to have been absurd. Many are made that are absolutely unwarranted hy facts, especially about the war conditions abroad.
 For instance: Tn the debate on the draft amendment the other day. MT. McCumber solemnly arose and condemned the practice of the Allies in representing to their people that they had large reserve on the west ern front. "As a matter of fact he said, there is no reserve force to speak of Whats the use of attempt ing to dupe the people on the reserve proposition?'
 But how does this senatorial solon know that there is no. reserve army on the western front?

bankers guarantee" do not need goT~ ernment or any other aid, exceps what they can get from banS'S-A Those public utilities whose eflclen" cy and credit are impaired and whose solvency is threatened through inabll- ity to meet matuIities, not because ot inherent weakness, but solely because of conditions resulting from the war, cannot either give a bankers guaran~ tee or secure the necessary funds from the investors of the country
 The President has said that ''it is essential that these utilities should be maintained at their maximum cth- ciency and that everything reasonably possible should be done with that end in view" The bankruptcy of public utilities, otherwise solvent, but un~ able through conditions solely result ing from the war to finance their ma turtles and maintain their efficiency, would be a national disaster, because it would seriously impair the ability of the country to prosecute the war Which course of the two, which arg so obvious, would cost the country least in war efficiency? Will it be cheaper for the country to finance sound public utilities, or to save the money and sacrifice the efficiency of the public utilities and imperil the whole financial structure of the coun- try by letting them go into banlIrupt- cy?
 Of course, increases in public util~ tty rates for service commensurate to the increased costs of operation are necessary os an incident to any solu- tioD Of the present conditions.

Food and Fuel Needs.

(NeW York Commercially
 Federal officials tell American people that they cannot have all the coal and foodstuffs they want. The mandate is accepted without demur, yet it is perfectly proper to ask whether it is not possible to provide all the necessaries of life that we can use. Our transportation facilities may be deficient, but Director Gen. eral McAdoo is spending nearly billion dollars for locomotives, freight cars and other equipment, improve~ ments and repairs, and he has prior~ ity over all other claims for steel except those of the shipbuilders and gunmakcrs. Our steel mills can turn out 45,000,000 tons of steel a year and their capacity is growing every day.
 Given the necessary transportation facilities and labor. our coal opera-s tors can produce a billion tons of fuel a year. Their mines are equip ped for production on that scale if they can be operated at full capacity, and billion tons is more than we can consume at present. In the same way enough good land lies un- tiled in America, to double the pres- ent output Of livestock, foodstuffs. wool and cotton under intelligent di- rectiOn and with a sufficient supply of labor.
 France has put every available man in the army and has imported more than a million Africans and Chinese to work on farms and in fac tories behind tho firing lines If this war lasts two or three years longer America will have to put from five to ten million men under arms and thus deplete the production forces of the cOuntrq Shall we permit our productive power to decrease as we add to our fighting force? Shall we shiver for lack of coal in winter and reduce our food allowance by refus- ing to follow Frances example and import the labor we require to fill gaps during the war?
 If MT. McAdoo can supply the transportation and we can import the necessary labor, we can produce all tho coal and food we require for do- mestic consumption and the suste- nance of our soldiers and Allies in Europe, France calls to us for moro men and more steel. Coal is the basic factor in producing steel and trans porting supplies. The United States Geological Survey reports that inade~ Guate car supply continues to be the major factor in holding down coal production.
 The pinch will not come this year, but at a later date, when five million men, or more, are withdrawn from production to fight in Europe

Public Utilities.
(NeW York Tribune)


 In connection with the news that local bankers are to confer today with the War Finance Board on the question of public utility financing, we recommend the reading of a letter on this page from an officer of one of the leading investment banking houses specializing in public sccuri- ties. As he says, public utilities are essential to the prosecution of the war, ond yet their sclvenCy is threat enod by two conditions for which they are in noWise responsible. name ly. the increased costs of operation and inability to secure funds through the normal channels. "Utl1ty com panies which would have been bank rupt had there been no war, says MT. Wilcox, ''are not entitled to consider ation because war conditions exist; but public utilities which. because of the war, are unable to maintain thelr

On next Wednesday tho tuber- culosis department of the board of health will give it's annual outing for the little children of New Britain, and inasmuch as it is expected that more than 100 little ones will be present, a number of automobiles must be secured to transport them to the pie nic grounds in the North End park at 1 o'clock and bring them back att 5 o'clock. People having automobiles can do a really kind deed by loaning their cars for this work at the afOre- mentiOneh hourse. Miss Sara A.

They are undernour- ished and in their present condition will readily fall prey to any germ" But what is to be done? That is the ques- ton that confronts the welfare branch of the health department Many of their parents are poor and cannot give the children all that their little bodies require, while others object strenuously if advice is given Miss Carroll, who is in charge, makes the very pertinent suggestion that local people having summer homes might take one or two of these poor little people on their vacations with them for week or two and give them a chance. In New York this is done and right here in this vicinity New ! ork children are being Harmed out for couple of weeks. Why not go a little further and look after New Britain children too?
