We SHOULD EAT MORE CORN
It Is a Perfect Substitute for Wheat
and Releases Wheat for Our
Soldiers.

"We've got the mills and we've got
the cooks and we've got the cornmeal.
too" should be our version Of the old
British chorus which ran, We've got
the ships and we've got the men and
we've got the money, too" So. o..
They had those ships and men and
the money to win a war with, If they
had to fight. We have those mills and
cooks and the cornmeal to win the war
against famine that we have to fight.
We have a largely-develOped taste for
cornmeal; England and France have a
small one. We have mills to grind the
corn; those associated with us in this
war have not. Our cooks know how
to handle It; Europe's do not. And we
have the wheat that Europe does know
how to handle, If we release it by eat
ing our own cornmeal.
That being the case, it becomes quite
apparent that yellow cornsand golden
wheat are the twins that rule the
heavens of our horoscope. and that will
control our fortune for many days to
come. Only wheat, being a good sailor
and traveller. shall take over the Euro.
much more domestic by nature, shall
stay on the job over here.
This years corn crop is in excess of
3, 191, 100000 bushels, which means
about thirty bushels of corn for each
inhabitant of the United States. OF
wheat, that we have always considered
natures special bounty to this country,
this years crop is 655, 1907 900 bushels
while the average for Is years has been
DISCO. 44O bushels. That means TINT
this year we have nearly five times as
much corn as wheat.
Yet. to look at the average American
table, one would think that wheat was
dozen times as abundant as corn, at
least.
The little SO per cent of our corn.

such culinary delights as only increase

There is no doubt that every avail

Whatever is to be done will not be

Director General McAdoo Says
That Walkouts Will Not Be
Tolerated.
HOLDING FEDERAL JOBS
Heads of All Labor Organizations
Having Shopmen Among Their
Members Are Notified Government
Cannot Be inundated.

Washington, May 31.-Director Gen.
eral McAdoo has reminded railroad
employees that they are employees of
the United States in time of war and
that a strike means a blow a their
own government and the hampering of
transportation essential to protect the
hundreds of thousands of American
boys fighting on European battletields.
In a telegram to the heads of all
labor unions having shop men among
their members, Mr.. McAdoo gave no.
tice that the government cannot be
coerced or intimated and called upon
railroad men to remain at their duty
and rely upon him and the new board
en- railroad wages and working con-
ditions for just consideration of their
claims. He asked the union leaders
to urge upon their men by wire the
wisdom and patriotism of this course.
Threats of WaIkouts.
A few days ago several hundred ma
chinists and shopmen at Alexandria,
Va, left their posts in Southern rail
road shops in protest against small
increases given them under the direc-
tor generals new scale of higher
wages, and there have been threats
Of a general walkout or union shop
men net Monday unless substantial
further pay advances are forthcoming
before that time.
"The strike Of certain shipmen, ma
chinists, etc., In the railroad shops at
Alexandria, Va, has created a very
painful expression on the public
mind" said the director generals mes
sage. Il cannot believe that these
men knew what they were doing. They
are all employees now Of the United
States government. They are not en-
ployes of any corporation, therefore
this was a strike agains- the govern
ment of the United States.
This is the first time ii the history
of our government that any of it's
employees have attempted a strike
against their government. Such action
is incredible. For the good Of our be-
loved country and for the honor of
railroad men in the service every
! where / hope there will be no repeti-
ton of what everyone must condemn
| as unpatriotic in the highest degree.
THE government cannot, OF course,
be coerced or intimidated by any of
its employees. It is anxious to do JUS.
tice and will do justice to all, as far
as 1t is possible to measure Justice"

PAPERS ARE HOPEFUL
London Press Comments on Gra-
witty Of War Situation.
Arrival of American Soldiers in Suf.
ficient Numbers to Finally Crush
Foe Is Predicted.

London, June 4.-The newspapers
here emphasize the gravity OF the
news from the western front and
comment anxiously on the situation,
although they express ho%pefulness as
to the final outcome.
The Daily Telegraph sees great
possibilities in the strategic situa.
ton. Asserting that the anxiety and
stress of he last few days are not
diminishing, it adds:
1T would appear that a second bat
tie of the Marine. Of far greater in
tensity and weight than in 1914, is
opening, but in totally different cir.
cumstances. The difference, however,
IS as much to the advantage of the
Allies as to the enemy"
The Daily Express says: Never
since the outbreak of the war has the
situation been more menacing or have
the possibilities been graver; yet the
country remains unperturbed, almost
indiffere.t. This faith is not based
on reason"
ooA1AuolCO Ill AllGIlCdu Qelp IS
shown in the comment of several
newspapers. The Daily Mail enumer-
ates the strong points in favor of the
Allies, including "the rapid arrival Of
American troops, which will speedily
restore the Allies preponderance in
numbers" i,
The Times also looks to the day
when arrival of Americans will more
than reverse the present proportions.
THE American war power is grow
ing fast" it says. 1.-THE whole ma
ton Is behind the army as it has
never been behind any movement yet,
and it is a nation Of 100, 0o0, 900 free,
men who have never known defeat.
Until they join us in full force our
business is to hold On. When they so
join us victory will be at our DOORS"
