America Beginning Greatest Corn Con-
sumption in History, Using Cereal

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 mighty crop The actual in
crease is about 800 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 War 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 thcjr
families are benefiting by an incrcas-
ed use of the cereal Corn. more jh.l

elements essential to maintaining life
and health.
In order that the fighting mon
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 Stale Needs Christ.

The remedy, for existing conditions
as set forth in my article OF last week,
is q general revival of righteousness
and honesty, the extinction of gambling
institutions, the return to sober and
honorable business methods By al, men.
Familiarity with sin must not be al
lowed to blunt our sensibilities. Sin IS
not an accident, neither islt the outcome
of environments, nor merely a mis-
fortune. 1t is downright rebellion
against God and its wages are eternal
death.
What is needed, most OF all, is al
leGiance to our King. Christians must
seek his favor, as the thirsty pine for
water, and then arouse their fellow men
TO seek dellverance. Then the Lord
will pour water upon him that is thissty
and floods on the dry ground. This i'm
plies closet, family and united prayer
for the quickening influence of the Holy
Spirit. This will, of course, lead to
proper appreciation of Christ
The greatest nation on earth is the
one in which there is the most devoted
loyalty to the person of Christ. His
kingship must be recognized. That
bruised conqueror of the serpent; that
suffering yet triumphant Nazarene,
that angel announced king who was
coronated on the mount Of transhg-
uration, that crucifed Saviour above
whose head was written in three Ian.
guages, for the world to see, the Ian
guage of religion of culture and of law,
'"Ihis is the king CT the Jews" that
king enthroned in the heart of every
believer is presented to US as king of
state and Of earth as well as Of heaven,
king not Of hearts only but of our out
ward lives; not of church merely but Of
commerce and courts; not of extremity
only but Of time also, and His royal
stamp A. D. is part Of every date.
Books and papers have stamped upon
them the date The year Of our Lord. F."
and thus they acknowledge that Christ
is king. Some of my readers will re
member the dark days at the close #
the war when the assassin's bullet
plunged the loyal nation into grief be
cause of the awful death of her presi-
dent
The trembline millionaires of Wall
street N. Y, with a great multitude
gathered to hear what the Christian
patriat and statesmen Garfield could
say at such time, and when amid the
tumult he Gained the wild excitement
and stilled the mob with those almost
prophetic words, God reigns and the
Government at Washington still hyes,"
the people said amen.
When he to succumbed to the bullet
of an assassin, and another voice than
his hushed the agitated crowd and
quelled their fears with his immortal
words, they again responded amen

CHILDREN AND THE WAR
Let Them Organize Leagues and
Know Their Own Country.

Does your boy and girl know just why
we are at war and why we must win?
Don't be satisfied to let them take
someone elses say-so. Be sure that
they have figured the situation out for
themselves.
Do your children know what is TAX
ing place at the nations capital to
mobilize the men and resources, to raise
money, to guard the nations food, to
build a great American merchant mar
inc? If not, they should. They are the
citizens of the future On their in
telligence and industry will depend the
speed with which the country RECEIVERS
from the great sacrifice it has been
called upon to make for the safety of
our institutions.
The Women's Committee of the
Council of National Defense, through
cooperation with the State Councils, is
organizing Little Citizens Leagues"
throughout the country for the purpose
of giving just this instruction that your
children need. Why not have your local
or neighborhood teacher organize
Little Citizens League? Why not
do it yourself? You can secure COM
plete directions and literature from
your State Council of Defense.

Nothing Left To Shave.

Recently an esteemed citizen dropped
into tonsorial establishment to have
his alfalfa reaped. and beng somewhat
weary, he soon fell asleep. For some
minutes the barber made valiant at
temps to proceed, but finally he paused
and gently shook the man in the chair.
Excuse me, SIR" he said, but
would you mind coming out Of your
trance for little while. I find it i'm
possible to shave you while you are
asleep"
Impossible to shave me while
am asleep" responded the customer,
wonderirgly. why is it impossible?''
Because, - explained the barber as
softly as possible, when you fail into
slumber your mouth opens so wide that
l cannot find your face"

THE UNITED STATES FOOD
ADMINISTRATION SAYS

Food saving is In its essence The
daily individual service Of all the
people. Every group can substi-
tute, and even the great majority
Of thrifty people can save little
and the more luxurious elements
of the population can, by reduo-
tion to simple living, save much.
This means no more than that we
should eat plenty, but wisely and
without waste.

WOMEN G. TO
JOIN IN WIN THE
WAR CELEBRATION

Every woman Of Grand Forks and
East Grand Forks must consider her
self personally invited to join in the
big Win\the War parade tomorrow
afternoon. True there is a commit
tee on arrangements, but they could
hardly be expected to call UP every,
household in the two cities, and give
a personal message regarding the pa
rade, so they wish every woman to
consider the invitation given through
the columns of The Herald, as being
directed especially to her.
Joining in the parade is being con-
s1dered a patriotic duty by the men
OF h two cities, why should not
women feel thai it is just as much
their duty to give a littel material evil
dence Of their patriotism. The only
thing for them to, do is to put their
most patriotic foot forward, and step
into line.
The committees in charge have an
nounced hat the women who are to
march will form in a body on the west
side Of kittson avenue and Third
street linear Odelrs store), where they
will be given their place in the pa
rade. The parade is to start at 2
O'Clock but persons are expected to-
be at the designated point Of assemb-
ling by 1880 o'clock.
Women of the two cities must make
no less a showing III this big celebra-
ton. than the men are planning to do,
but in order to do this they must turn
out in large numbers. and take their
places in the parade.
