above is suggested by some of the
unsightly spots of our beloved
town. Rank growth of weeds

ace to health and should be re-
moved. Why wait until the
board Of health compels you to
clean up your premises? Dan

rubbish. Is it not strange that
we must be compelled to protect

and give the old town a thorough
cleanup. Besides being danger
GUS to health this unsightliness
depreeiates property values (now

in property or bring new busi-
ness enterprises here.

FACE the FACTS

T EFT us face the facts The situation is critical.
IL Unless the Allies fight as they never yet have
fought, defeat threatens. Hungry men cannot tight

and Italy going hungry unless we teed them
Wheat Savings-They mast have wheat. 1t is the
best food to fight on. 1t is the easiest to ship. We
alone can spare it to them; BY saving Just little
support those who are fighting our battles And we
can do it without stinting ourselves. We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn of PIenty-Corn is that food. There's
surplus of It, Providence has been generous in the
hour of need 1t has given us 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 patriotic duty made
easy? And so clear!
Americas Own Food--Cornl 1t is the true American
food The Indians hardest of races, lived on it.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered
continent. For great section of our country it
has blong the staff of life. How well the South
fought on it, history tells Now it can help America
win world war.
Learn Something-Coml 1t isn't food It's
dozen. It's 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; hew good you don't
know until you've had corn-bread properly cooked.
Best of ALL it's plentiful and it's patriotic.
Corn's Infinite Variety-How much do you know about
corn? About how good it is? About the many
s delicious ways of cooking it? And what you miss
by not knowing about it? Here are few
of its uses:
There are at least fifty ways to corn meal to
