MADE.IN. GERMANY LIES
 CIRCULATED IN CANADA

Canada is also having trouble with Made-in-Germany lies calculated to hinder Canadian food conservation ac- cording to an official statement re- ceived from the Canadian food con- troller by the United States foods ad- ministration.
 Yhe stories bothering Canada are of the same general character as those the United States food administra- tor recently denounced in this coun- try, such as the ridiculous salt and blueing famine fakes and the report that the government would seize housewives stocks of home canned goods.
 The Canadian food controller esti- mates that when the people listen to and pass on such stories, each one has the power of destruction that lies in battalion of soldiers.
 "Stories without even vestige of foundation have been scattered broad cast" said the Canadian statement. "Nor have they come to life casually. They have started simultaneously in different parts of the country and in each instance have been calculated to arouse public indignation.
 "They are insidious, subtle, persist ent. Bit by bit they dissipate public trust, the great essential in the work of food control.
 Tt lies with every individual to for bear from criticism; to refrain from passing on the vagrant and harmful story, and thus the more effectively to cooperate in work which is going to mean more than the majority of people yet realize"

CORN MIL. YIN DE:EIOCRA('Yi'S s WAR
Americas Greatest Cereal Crop Is Now Moving to
 Market.
MAiMSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat of the United States Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
 ened Europe

Americas great corn crop, exceed
 ing 3,0U0, 100000 bushels. will save the worlds food situation officials of the l United States food administration be- l lieve.
 Corn is the nations best food cereal, housewives are beginning to realize.
 It contains all the clements needed to keep the body i'll a state of health and when used according to the scores of tried recipes, especially when com bined with an added portion of oil or dian warriors in colonial days lived on parched corn alone 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 the 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 cora 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 q staple food during the War of the Rev olution and during the Civil War, King Corn has again come to the front in the nations battle with autocracy.
 Corn meal is finding greatly increas- ed use in the making of ordinary white bread. Hundreds of housewives and 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 tlliil ever before. < HOuSeWlNeS are coming to realize that every pound of wheat saved in America means a pound of wheat released for shipment to the nations with which America is associ- ated in the war. e
 There are a score of corn products that today possess unusual importance for Americans. Corn. syrup for sweet ening corn cakes and sbuckwheat 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. It comes from the germ of the corn.

We hear frequently that 1t is love that makes the world go round. There used to be a catchy song to that effect that sounded quite convincing. But, occasionally, one entertains the suspicion that with love alone to steer by, the world might very easily fly off on any tangential path that presented itself, and that nothing short of genu- inc tact, nice discernmeat, inbcrn courtesy-call 1t what you will-freely exercised in the same place where charity, too, should begin, will hold the spinning earth in its proper groove and keep 1t from coIliding witk tho rest of the universe. ---Exrhange.

PARKER HORD'S
PLAY PRESENTED
HERE WEDNESDAY
First Performance Of "The Scoop" on
Next Wednesday Evening at the
MISUNDERSTANDING Given
Unusual Opportunity.

On Wednesday of next week 1t will
be possible for the people of Mays
Vile to enjoy the unusual opportun-
ity of witnessing the premiere per-
Torrance of new play. Such events
usually occur in cities nearby to large
theatrical centers like Chicago or
New York; but owing to the fact of

21st
Parker Hord has already won re-
cognition as a play-write and his
name has appeared on the front Of a
Broadway Theater during the four
months run of 1.-THE Mix Up" in which
Marie Dressler starred.
In his new play "The Scoop" Mr.
Hord tells the story Of German in
trigue in Washington. There is a
blend of Comedy, Romance, and Mys-
tery-the qualities most requisite for
an engrossing story of the stage.
The New York cast presenting this
play is headed by Clifford DevereuX
and Zinita Graf who are especially
qualified for the Interpretation of the
parts assigned them. Mr.. Devereux
will be remembered by Maysville au-
diences as playing here in "As You
Like 1t" by William Shakespeare, and
repertoire of Ibsen, Shaw, and Mol
ierein such artistic manner that his
engagement won him the highest APP
proval as an actor and director of the
first class.
Miss Zinita Graf a Co-Star OF Mr..
Devereux who will have the leading
female role in the cast is one of the
most beautiful and talented young
women of the stage.
"The Scoop" is under the manage
ment of Joseph C. Gonyea, and the
booking will be over Klaw and Err
hangers chain of theaters. 1t is an
ticipated that theater will be Sc
cured either in New York or Chicago
for a run. A car load of scenery is
now on its way from New York for
the performance. 1t is only because
of routing through the larger cities
of Illinois and Ohio that Maysville

opportunity of seeing this splnedid
organization and this wonderful new
play.
