THEY MUST BE HELPED. The
Red Cross has undertaken in deter
mined and nationwide campaign to
obtain this clothing in America. 1t
can come only from us. In the face
of brutal coercion and spiritual suf-

WOMEN AS GREAT ORGANIZERS
Matrons Conduct Large National
Gatherings With a zest and Order,
and Not a Man Is to Be Seen.

In the last 20 or 25 years particu-
larly the women of this country have
become past masters in developing
nationwide organizations. The groups
which they have formed sometimes
number as many as a million women
They take great delight in the perfec-
ton of their machinery. Much Of the
social awakening among women, the
desire to improve their surroundings,
comes from the stimulus and the edu-
cation they get from their organiza-
lions.
But these organizations, it should be
noted, are voluntary, writes Ida M.
Tarbell in Harper's Magazine. They
are directed TO some purpose which
appeals particularly to the group.
Each stands on it's wi feet-that is,
they are not cooperative organiza-
tons; and again, they have nothing to
do with men. Go to one Of their
national gatherings. You will see
meetings conducted with a zest, an or
der. a directness which throws in the
shade almost any mems convention
ever saw and not a man to be seen
anywhere.

How a Woman Got a Pumpkin.

She is a dainty little madam, relates
the Indianapolis News, and does not
look as If she could lift more than
ten or fifteen pounds. When she ac-
companied her husband to the country
recently and saw a field dotted with
pumpkins she said:
Lets stop here and buy a pumpkin
for pies"
Pumpkins seemed to be a drug with
the farmer, and he told the little
madam:
'If you climb that fence pointing
to the field, you can have the biggest
pumpkin you can carry"
"Tll accept that Offer" she replied
with alacrlty, with visions of Thanks
giving pies galore.
Ten minutes later she returned with
a pumpkin that weighed 80 pounds and
nut it down triumphantly in front OF
the farmer.

Our smallest coin, the cent, is en-
crying from the low position in public
esteem which ii has occupied for many
years, says the Pittsburgh Gazette
Times. Under the operation of the
new revenue law it will achieve the
favor which it deserves at the hands
of thrifty people. Prosperity brought
the copper coin into contempt. Now
that we are to cut out extravaganza
and waste, the cent will be respected
like every other necessity. One may
not care to burden himself with a
fistful of the erstwhile despised near
money" but we are entering upon an
era of odd prices which makes the
one-cent piece essential to the com
monest transactions of the day. The
prosperous may escape the annoyance
Of over-many coppers by buying such
quantities they can make payments In
multiples Of nickels and dimes, but
even that resource may fail them. The
public will soon look askance upon the
citizen who buys more than enough
for immediate needs. "Hoarders" are
not in favor, thanks to the warnings
issued by the food and other admin
~istrators of necessities. So the peo-
pie generally may as well make up
their minds to carry pennies and
make and receive odd change when
ever they buy.

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
10 bushels for every man, woman and
child In America-were raised In 1917.
1t was a mighty crop. The actual in
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 1t 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,
corr pone, and as hOmlny 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 their
families are benefiting by an increas-
ed 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,
the citizens Of America are finding
corn products delicious and palatable
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
to use corn is small compared to the
facilities they have for using wheat.
And 1t 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
be in the form Of corn bread and corn
meal, mixed with wheat in the making
of leavened bread.
Mixed with so per cent. wheat flour,
corr meal can be used in bread max
ing, producing a loaf more nutritious
than bread baked with wheat alone
It is a fact corn millers will verify
that dozens of the large American bak.
ers have been successfully using a corr
-four in bread making for several
years.
Hominy grits, served at breakfasi
with a poached egg, or eaten at any
other meal with meats or gravy, Is an
ether use of corn that will become un
usually popular during the war.
Corn syrup to sweeten corn cakes
and o oil for use in all kinds o
cooking, are two more products tina
are already welcomed in thousands o
American homes.

"MEATw CRY BELGIAN WAITS
Hungry Children March Through
Streets Shouting for Food-Fed
by the Red Cross.

The desperate condition Of the civ
ilian population Of Belgium and north
ern France, who are being repatriated,
and the work of the Red Cross in re-
storing them to normal health Is
graphically described in a report to
Red Cross headquarters from Evain,
where repatriates are received. These
destitute people are returning to their
land at the rate Of 1000 a week, go
per cent of them children. Their hard
ships have been so acute that Of the
adults who return 80 per cent die the
first month from exhaustion.
"There arrived recently" says the
report, "a train loaded with Belgian
children, $50 Of them, thin, sickly,
alone, all between ages Of four and
twelve, children of men who refused
to work for the Germans and Of moth
ers who let their children go rather
than let them starve. They poured
off the train.
"They had come all the long way
alone. The children poured out the
station, marched along the street,
shouting, "Neat, meat, we are going
to have meatv to the Casino, where
they were given a square meal, the
first in many months"

Hlqh Cost Of Counting.

All the world may love a lover, but
the trainers of the new war tax bill
adopted a roundabout way Of showing
their affection, asserts T. F. Logan In
Leslie's. The congressional measure
to raise additional revenue makes
a particularly affectionate assault
on the bankroll Of the young man
who wishes to demonstrate his
devotion to a maid. If the object OF
the youths passion lives reasonably
near him, he may escape the new
tax on kilograms and telephone mes
sages that cost less than 10 cents.
Every love letter he writes will cost
him an additional penny, however,
even If he incloses only a single burn
ing poem. If a trip to the theater
is planned, committing lovers who live
more than 80 miles from the play
house must give financial assistance
to the war on the Hohenzollerns. Ac-
tual admission to the theater demands
an additional ten per cent on the cost
of the tickets. Naturally, the dear
girl will wish to make herself par
ticularly alluring to her ardent swain.
To do so, she must pay a two per cent
tax on the perfume essence, toilet wa
ter, lip rouge or face powder that to
her seems the most effective device.

Comments countrymsn.

He was a plain. old-fashioned coun-
tryman without no frills," as he often
proudly boosted. He lamented the
passing of the old cottage organ, ear
hobs and coal oil lamps and contended
that persons in these days are not
nearly as happy as those Of a half CEN
fury ago. The other day he came into
town from his country home nearby,
relates an exchange, and stopping at
his sons home was entertained by his
daughter-in-law with music on the
photograph. Knowing his fondness for
old religious music, the daughter-in-
law put on the records containing old
time hymns sung by the worlds great
artists of song. The old man was
plainly thrilled and sat In rapt atten-
ton as he heard his old favOrites sung
with such sympathy and meaning as
he never had heard them sung in real
life. At the conclusion Of what she
called her sacred concert" the young
woman asked, "Well, father, weren't
those old hymns sung as beautifully as
you have ever heard them In the old
days2"
Emmy, they mightn't be so bad"
he reluctantly conceded, IF that
Madam Human Shank or whatever you
call her, had only broke down on the
top notes like they used to in church,
most always, and somebody'd only said
Amen right out loud when they got
through singin'."

"Americans Have Brains"

Col. 7. H. Goodwin of the Royal Ar
my Medicine corps of England, told
physicians in the training camp at FIT.
Benjamin Harrison, Indiana, that h
Germans fear the effects Of the entry
of America in the war.
"A German captain who had been
captured was asked what he thought
about our much-prized shell fire." said
Colonel Goodwin.
"sYour artillery is no better than
ours the German replied.
"Surely you will admit we excel In
aviation" we told him.
"sNo,' the German replied. you are
not better than us anywhere
"Finally we asked him what he
thought about America entering the
war, and he answered:

PLIGHT OF TR0USERLESS MAN
Wind Blowing Door Shut Leaves Him
In ~Predicament, Causing Hssty Re-
treat to Garage In Rear.

A certain North side man, the In
dianapolis News had a patriotic gar
den and it was his habit to get up with
the sun. don khaki trousers, drink a
cupful of coffee and work until his
wife called hin to breakfast, about
two hours later.
He rose about FIVE o'clock n morn
ing and dressed completely-all but
the khaki trousers, which he kept In
the basement. He descended the stairs
and was on the way to the basement,
when he saw outside a bottle Of cream
left by the milkman. Thinking of the
effect of sunlight on cream and of his
cupful Of coffee, he peered up and
down the street, opened the door,
stepped out grabbed the bottle hurried
ly. Just as he turned to go in he heard
a slam-the wind had blown the door
shut. He found himself out on the
front porch, fully dressed, with the ex-
ception of a pair of trousers. The door
was locked. He looked wildly up and
down the street, vaulted the low ce-
ment railing and made a Decline for
the garage, the only available place of
refuge and seclusion. He remained In
the garage until his wife learned OF
his predicament, about two hours Ia
ter, and came to his rescue.
The story would have remained q
dark secret had not a neighbor-a
woman, too-seen the whole affair and
witnessed, the mad scramble for the
garage.

TOM BROWN IS KILLED
ON BATTLEFIELD IN FRANCE

while the committee has frankly told
the military men that the policy OF
concealment they planned, does not
in reality conceal.
General Pershing's request for sec
recy as to addresses, date of action
and branch of service, caused the
war department order
Once before, the department at
tempted to put the plan across, but
it was squelched quickly. The de
partment argument is that the ad-
dresses give information to the en-.
emy tending to reveal the nature OF
units with which they are dealing.
Dates, they say, further let the Ger
mans know exactly what they ac.
complished in certain engagements
and such information is of real value
as it affords the enemy a chance to
know how to alter or improve his
future tactics.
On the other hand the committee
pointed out to the war department
that concealment of the addresses
would not in fact conceal anything
from the Germans.
Publication of the fact that Tom
Brown" was killed would work out
thus, the committee argued:
Every mother of father OF tom
Brown in the country would be wor-
ried over the publication. The war
would be flooded with in.
Quiries as to. whether Tom Brown
was the Tom from Abilene, Kansas,
OF Tom from Swampscott. Mass.
