THANKS Be TO GOD

A THOUGH at this season OF
- Thanksgiving many hearts
throughout our Nation are torn with
grief because of their heroic sons, hus-
bands, and brothers who by thousands
have made the supreme sacrifice to pur-
chase the safety of their own and other
lands; yet have we much. very much,
to be thankful for now that at last the
just God of Battles has rebuked the
cruel and wicked Huns who for oyer
four years like ravening beasts of prey
have been at the worlds throat, and in
His own good time given to our arms
and those of our Allies just victory,
that will presently bring all the
manifold blessings of PEACE.
We IN America, signally blest, too,
in our basket and store, should be deep
ly grateful to God that our land has
been spared the awful visitations of the
Hunnish deeds of blood and violence
that have filled all Europe with anguish,
sorrow and misery.
We are deeply grateful to God that
we have been privileged. though almost
too late, to rescue imperilled Europe
from the despoiling hands of those bru-
tai Huns
We are especially thankful that it
has pleased the God of our fathers who
taught "their hands to war and their
fingers to fight" in the just cause OF
freedom, to also teach ours when
weak and foolish counsels in high
places, had long paralized the Nations
righteous resentment at the wicked
practices of bloody kings and
their wicked peoples.
We also gratefully thank God who in
deep mercy is making this awful holo-
caust of War prove spiritual blessing
to the whole land, and above all 10 the
millions of young heroes who have SO
successfully fought the battles Of our
own and the worlds freedom-an
awakening that is redounding to the
Nations greatest good by disclosing to
it that the unseen things Of the spirit
are Of far more worth than the things
Of time and sense, that indeed, in this
as in the eternal world, God reigns.

BIG 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 1900 million bushels
80 bushels for every man, woman and
child in America-Were raised in 1917.
1t was mighty crop. The actual ill
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 War Of the Revolution, and
the Civil War, corn HAS actually be-
come the nations mains!ay.
In the entire list Of America 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
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-
I'd 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.
he citizens Of America are finding
corn products delicious and palatahle
on "wheatless days" and glory in the
fact that "wheatless days" here mean
more wheat for the war worn allied
nations in Europe.
England, France and Italy must be
fed from Americas great storehouse.
They will get some cOrn-especially
Italy-but most Of their grain ship
ments must be wheat. Their ability
10 use corn is small compared to the
facilities they have for using wheat.
And it is the opinion of officials in
Washington that the present is no time
to try and change the eating habits of
Europe
Americas greatest use of corn will

war BREAD COSTLY TO
BRITISH GOVERNMENT

Every year the British government
pays $2OO.OOO,OOO toward the cost OF
that nations war bread That is the
principal reason why English bread
prices are lower today to the consumer
than in America. incidentally the
British bread is much poorer than the
American
Great Britain has taken over all
home grown grain, bought at an arbi-
trary price, and all imported wheat
bought in markets Of the world at pre-
vailing prices. This is turned over to
the mills by the government at a price
that allows the adulterated war bread
loaf Of four pounds to sell at 10 cents.
The two pound loaf costs 8 cents, and
the one pound loaf sells for cents.
In milling, however, IA per cent.
more flour is extracted from the wheat
than In America. And there is a COM
pulsory adulteration Of 20 per cent.
and an allowable adulteration of 50
per cent.
Compared with American bread, the
British product is only about 65 per
cent. pure at its best.
In France, under conditions some-
what similar, but with larger extra:.-
ton, the four pound loaf sells for 18
cents

AMERICAN Savings WILL
MEASURE wheat EXPORTS

I'VE have already exported the
whole OF the surplus Of the 1917 wheat
harvest, over and above the normal de-
mands OF our own population. 1t is
necessary, therefore, for the food ad.
ministration to restrict export Of wheat
SO as to retain in the United States
sufficient supplies to carry our own
people until the next harvest.
Therefore all exports Of wheat
from now forward are limited entirly
to volume of saving made by the Amer
lean people in their consumption of
wheat and wheat products
"We continued wheat shipments for
December as far as our situation al
lowed, but even with all the conserva-
ton made we were still unable to load
several hundred thousand tons OF food
stuffs urgently required by the allied
nations during the month of December
alone"

EUROPE NEEDS FOOD
Food Administration Declares It 10 an
Absolute Sin to Waste Food-Food
Has Become Sacred.

Europe is still sending an insistent
call for more food. We must send it
if The war Is to so on efficiently. II
we eat it all we cannot ship it, and
The food administration has already
tried to picture how much that wheat
is needed by people who will starve if
they do not get it, the food administra
ton states.
For the least bit Of heedlessness
on your part in food conservation some
enc somewhere in tie world must suf-
fer privation, an official statement
declares. "The food administration
las mastered the problem of Ameri-
cas- food in such Il way that every
ounce of food conserved and kept in
the currents Of trade goes to an empty
stomach in Europe.
1T is an absolute sin to waste food.
Food has become sacred.
Food means life; it means some
h0dy's life, and you cannot escape re-
spOnsibility.
"There is no waste Of food among
the allied nations"

The KAISER, A SKETCH
IA AMSTERDAM, Nov. 25.-

"a AMSTERDAM, Nov. 25.-
"A How Wilhelm Held
Out" is the title of an article in the
Frankfort Volks Stimme by VIII
helm earle, Socialist, who discov-
cred the boards of provisions which
the one-time Emperor had IN his
Berlin palace.
1.-THE quantity" the writer says,
exceeded all expectations. In
large. white tiled rooms was every
thing-literally rything- one can
imagine in foodstuffs. 1t is incon-
ceivable that after four years Of
war such huge quantities could be
boarded.
'There was meat and game in
cold storage. sailed provisions in
large cases, white meal in sacks
piled to the roof, thousands of eggs.
gigantic boxes filled with tea,
coffee, chocolate, lard, jelly and
jam, hundreds of sugar loaves and
endless stacks Of peas, beans, dried
fruits and biscuits. Their value
amounts to several hundred thou
sand marks.
''These boarded foodstuffs could
not be better used than to be pre-
served as lasting memorial to our
posterity, which should see how,
while millions in Germany starved,
those elected by the grace of God
held out"
The Kaiser is subject that excites
alternately anger and disgust; you fee
like cursing him one moment, anC
puking the next. Every detail of his
wicked life arouses sentiments of indig.
nation, contempt or some other shame.
full passion.
AS q soldier, "a knight on carpet
consideration only" as brave and a.
boastful as Falstaff; as a ruler, "s
king of shreds and patches" a mounte
bank falsely pretending a ''divine
right" to play his bloody role of Nero
tyrant and Herod murderer of limo
cents; cheap religious fakir, he
patronizes his Maker and impiously
dares to make Him an approving part
ner of his sanguinary deeds; emulous Of
military renown he lacks the courage
and the genius to earn, he is constantly
attitudenizing, viewing from a very
safe distance the battlefield, with his
lickspittle Boswell, hireling poetaster
named Rosser, to photograph him POM
pously posing la Napoleon on horse
back; cold-bloodily demanding that the
mothers of Germany surrender all their
sons as cannon fodder to serve his sci
fish ends, but all the while carefully
keeping his own cowardly whelps out of
harms way.
A hollow sham without one real re-
aeeming good quality to save his name
from everlasting contempt, it is, finally,
very fitting to read one of his starving
subjects describe his larders filled with
$50, 600 worth of every delicacy that
could tempt the appetite Of an Appicius

ration OF principles which they made

In the booklet are excellent but the
so-caled platform lacks punch when
it touches state issues and II is not
as good as the summary printed in the
newspapers. II would have been
better TO have ended the document
where it got through speaking of
national issues 1t is the natural re.
suit Of preparing a document in an
attempt to please everybody It can't
be done. The voters OF Vermont
should support the Republican ticket
next week Tuesday because It is bet
ter judgment to support the concrete
principles OF the Republican. party in
in the country and in Vermont il
would be unwise TO oyerturn the well
managed departments Of the state
government and put in all new men
who would mean we'll but would
throw the business OF the state into
confusion and would increase the ex-
penses Of the state to no moderate de.
gree. We do not see how any Yer
monter can vote the Democratic
ticket on national issues, after the
way the northern Republican states
have been Disseminated against in
favor of the solid south which con
trolls the Democratic party In state
matters the argument is nearly as
strong, Vermont has been well and
economically governed for more than
fifty years, with the Republican party
in control. Now this yeartwhen there
is need of supporting Republican
principles it is not sufficient excuse
to bolt the ticket because of a diver.
gence of views on some one issue.
