church, of which he is a devoted
member:
To the Church at Lebanon. Dear
Brethren and Sisters:-My heart
turns back to you as tonight ! am
far away from all that are near and
dear to me, except my Savior. |
feel that | am very near Jesus to-
night, and it seems to me that |
could not possibly live without His
blessed guidance.
am associated with men from
all over the United States, both
good and bad, and, to my sorrow, |
must tell you that there are many
more who are going the downward
road than are travelling the straight
and narrow way. And let me ask
of you as my brethren and sisters
that you send up a united petition
to the Hill of the Lord in behalf OF
our dear soldier boys who are will
ing to give their lives for their
country, but who are not brave
enough to conquer sin. ! feel that
| ain very weak, but with Gods
help | am able to lead at least a
few to the cross of Christ.
In the barracks where sleep one
may find most anything going on.
Some sing gospel songs, some read
their Bibles, some are writing 10
loved ones at home, and others are
collected by a table, where money
changes hands very often. OF
course you know what ! mean.
They are simply gamblers, whose
souls are as black as the ace OF
spades they use to gamble with. |
tell you these things that you may
know what is going on and just
what a christian soldier has to
bear.
| am ever thankful to God that !
was reared by a christian father
and that | was permitted to attend
the big meetings at dear old Leba.
non. may never again be with
you all. Of course we all pray
that, If it be Gods will, the war
may soon close, but If 1t should be
my lot to die for my country and
the fair womanhood Of our dear old
United States, ! would rather meet
that fate than to know that our
dear women and girls should be
subjected to the horrible outrages
OF the Germans, and ! feel that my
way to heaven is bright and clear.
| hope to return some day to my
darling wife, who Is now weeping
and cannot be comforted because
of my absence, but there are
thousands Of others suffering as we
are, so | pray for all Of them,
| love all my folks, but love my
Jesus best of all. So when our big
meeting time comes, think of me
in your prayers and remember that
| shall be there in my prayers. And
to the young christians, especially
the young men who may soon be
away from home and friends, let
me warn you to keep close TO God,
He alone can give you strength to
withstand all temptations, ] pray
for soldiers every night, and they
know it, TOO, So let me BEG each
Of you christians to pray without
ceasing for sinful men and for
peace. Pray for me when II does
well with you, | could write half
the night, but lest | tire you | will
close. May heavens richest bless.
Ines rest upon you all Is my prayer
Your brother In Christ and sol.

dian warriors In colonial days lived on
parched corn alope for many days at a
time, and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration OF
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war Ike corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now, however, the cereal
is reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
Today there are approximately 30
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by five BUSH
els than in former years.
Corn has become the nations main
stay in the crisis of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American colonists from famine on
many occasions, just as it served as a

many of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent corn meal with wheat
flour to make leavened bread. This
kind of a mixture is worked and baked
in the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
Corn bread-using corn meal entire
ly-is gaining greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound of
wheat saved in America means pound
of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America is aSsoc.-
ated in the war
There are a score of corn products
that today possess unusual Importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet
ening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use in the kitchen instead of
granulated sugar is one of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn oil. excellent for frying and for
every other purpose filled by salad oils,
is appearing on the market in large
quantities. 1t comes from the germ of
the corn.

Obituary

Little Max Treece. Steele, Mo-,
born September IA, 1915, died Nov.
27, 1918; the only child of Ralph
and Beulah Treece.
Little black eyes closed. little
white hands folded. that loved to
cling around mothers neck: no more
to greet Daddy when he returns
from work To know him was to
love him.
Little Joe Max, was an unusually
bright and attractive child. was the
fond bud of promised manhod to the
hearts of Mr.. and Mrs. r. L. Treece,
but alas! bright hopes have fed. and
the hand of a great sorrow hangs
over the stricken household, touched
by the icy finger Of death. The
beautiful, but 1t withered only to
bloom in greater beauty and loveli-
ness in a cline that is purer and
brighter than this.
Why he should be taken is not for
us to know, but we would look above
the dark cloud of sorrow, out beyond
this storm swept land, to the sinless,
fearless, sorrowless home of the soul,
and rejoice that our Redeemer lives
oh! what comfort this sweet SEN
tence gives. May the sorrowing
parents and friends put their trust
in Him. who is the way, the truth
and the life.
Put away the little clothing that
our darling used to wear; he Will
need it on earth no more. He has
climbed the golden stairs; he is with
the happy angels and we long for
his sweet kiss, but his little feet are
waiting in the realms of perfect
bliss.
Put away the little playthings
wet with mama's pearly tear; oh!
how she will miss her darling all
those weary coming years. Angels
whisper that your darling Is Ia
Eden's land SD fair, and his little
feet are waiting beside the gol0en
i
stair. The scripture says, the iss's
child shall lead them: may the par
ents and friends of little Joe Man
be prepared when death shall come
to meet him in glory.
My heart goes out in plying love
tonight.
Toward you whose little one has TAX

With his own presence, for He know

rapidly as possible, the Food Ad-
ministration is relaxing some of the
most stringent regulations, but we
should all be careful and not get in
to our old habits of eating. Every
bit of over-waste or waste of food
means that much taken from the
hugry nations Of Europe which must
be fed. The people of Missouri are
to eat wisely and with judgment.
Americas pledge is twenty million
tons of food. And this pledge must
be fulfilled

Barney Oldfield says that Horey is the best driver in the game today. and that he would be willing to back him against any driver in the world on either the boarded ovals or the dirt courses. Horey barely escaped death at Ascot park, Los Angeles, last spring, where going at a speed of 90 miles an hour, he broke a steering knuckle and turned completely over, but fortunately suffered nothing worse than a few scratches.
 Clark has been in the game for 10 years, and has had several flirtations with death at the Indianapolis speed way and also on mile tracks. In At lanta a few months ago he went through the fence, smashing his car almost to nothing, but was uninjured
 These two boys are matched for three heats of five miles each with the southern championship and side bet as the stake. Their race is one of six events on the programme which 1t promises to be the most sensational that has ever been staged here. Those who saw the auto races last spring will remember the close finish between these pilots, after which several near the tape thought that Clark was the winner, although the referee awarded the first prize to Horey Since that time there has been considerable feel. ing between them, and their clash here may be rightfully termed a grudge race.
