BIG CORN CROP
IS NOW MOVING
More Than 5000 Million Bushels
Raised In 1917-Gives
ia 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.
Ii 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 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 40 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,
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 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
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 II 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 80 per cent. wheat -four,
corn meal can be used In bread max
ing, producing loaf more nutritious
than bread baked with wheat alone.
It Is fact corn millers will verify
that dozens Of the large American bak-
ers have been successfully using corn
flour In bread making for several
years.
Hominy grits, served at breakfast
with a poached egg, or eaten at any
other meal with meats or gravy, is an,
other use of corn that will become I'M
usually popular during the war.
Corn syrup to sweeten corn cakes,
and corn oil for use In all kinds Of
cooking, are two more products that
are already welcomed In thousands Of
American homes.

self with the much used invisible"
paint. He did some thinking, how
ever, and he acted upon the result of
7 these meditations the following day.
He spent about ON hour In the rubber
goods section Of a large department
Store. It was to select raincoat and
cap of hue the exact color of grass.
Even to the gloves, the green tinge
harmonized.
"That fits me out" he said compla-
Gently, early In the evening, as he
stood before the mirror In his room,
fully arrayed In "camoufiage" attire.
He stole out from the house and
crossed back yards, vacant lots and
lonely lanes. He arrived ut the rear
fence of the Elston home without
meeting soul or having been OBJ
served.
Reuben rec6nnoitered the house.
His heart thumped hard as he fixed
his eyes on lighted window In the
second story Of the house. He knew
this to be the room that Winnie occu-
pied and he could mentally picture her
loneliness and persecution. The win
dow was open, but the shade was
drawn, so he had no sight Of the lovely
occupant of the apartment. He made
out Mr., Elston seated at table In a
room In the lower part Of the house.
"The coast Is clear to plant myself
he decided. "The cruel father Will
make his patrol later. There's good
spot to select" and Reuben scaled the
fence and worked his way past patches
of shrubbery, until he had reached
spot about twenty feet away from the
house and directly In line with the
window of Winnie's room.
"There's convenient tFellis," he
rumlnated. "When the coast Is clear
I will signal Winnie and scale the
trellis. Oh, the tEstH e Sois0ne hsr

"Camouaage'
BY Florence Lillian Header,on

"Why don't you try camoufiageY p
suggested Mort Talcott, and he winked
at his companion, Van Dysart.
Yes. that's the stuff the soldiers
use In the trenches to make them
selves invisible" suggested the latter.
Hardly that" interpreted Talcott.
1T places the user Id color harmony
with his surroundings. so that he Is
not always discernible to the casual
eye."
Reuben Marsh said nothing. but the
suggestion had sunk deep into his
mind. He had made rash conf
dence. little considering that Talcott
was In a measure a rival, and that
they mistook his ingenious simplicity
for stupidity and would rather en-
courage him to commit a foolish ac-
ton than otherwise. The present col
loQuy had come about through Tai
colt asking: "And what about the lit
tie lady, Marsh?" The 'little lady"
was Winnie Elston, and Reuben shook
his head mournfully as he responded
blankly:
II haven't seen her for q week, and
1t looks as though won't see her for
many week to come"
"Why, how Is that?" probed Talcott.
"Her father. He has taken a dis
like to me,-Or thinks I'm not in his
class. OF course, he's got lots Of
money and very little of it, but I'm
steady, I've got permanent position
ut good salary, and of course like
Winnie, and she-well, she seems to
enjoy my company"
Artlessly, because he believed he
was with friends, Reuben went on to
relate how Mr.. Elston had ordered
him from the place. Twice Reuben
had invaded the grounds after night
fall, to be discovered by the lynx-eyed
guardian Of Winnie, whom this hard
hearted person apparently was treat
ing as a close captive.
II saw her seated crying In her
room upstairs last night" narrated
Reuben pathetically. IF could have
been sure no one was providing aroupd
the garden, could have whistled a
signal she would have understood as
coming from me, and maybe In some
way she could have got word to me-"
Then came the camouflage sugges-
ton, and the group separated. Reu-
