WAR MEANS LESS
DRINKING, MILL
CITYDATA SHOWS

Minneapolis Minnesota. April B.
Drunkenness, in Minneapolis has de
creased early so per cent during the
past year. Judging by statistics com.
piled by the clerk of municipal court.
In the first two months OF 1917. 1872
men and women were convicted in
police court for drunkenness, compar.
ed with a total Of 5S5 for the same
months in 1917.
Various reasons are ascribed for
the shift to sobriety, including the
war, high cost Of living and earlier
closing hours for saloons. Still an
other reason advanced is that because
of the crisis through which the coun
try is. passing men are more thought
full and as consequence they are
less given to reckless spending. -.

CORN WILL WIN
DEMOCRACy'SW WAR
Americas Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to
Market.
MAINSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat Of the United States
Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
ened Europe.

Americas great corn crop, exceed
ing 3,000,000,000 bushels, will save the
worlds food situation, officials Of the
United States food administration be-
iieve.
Corn is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
1t contains all the elements needed to
keep the body in state of health and
when used according to the scores OF
tried recipes, especially when COM
bined with an added portion of oil or
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In
dian warriors in colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days at
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. Nov, 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 80
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 I'm the crisis of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American colonlsts from famine on
many occasions, just as it served as a
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
Hour To make leavened bread. This
Kind of II mixture is worked and baked
~ 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 a pound
of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America Is associ-
ated In the war.
There are a score of corn products
that today possess unusual Importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet
enlng corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use in the kitchen instead of
graduated 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.

TRAIL NOT
so BAD AS SOME REPORT

DR.. r. A. Thorley arrived home last
Tuesday evening from southern Cal
ifornia, where he has spent two or
three months with his family, making
the trip down and back over the Ar
rowhead Trail in their car. DR.. Thor
ley states that with the exception of
two comparatively short stretches,
aggregating about twenty miles, the
road is fair, although worse than nor
NAL just now on account of the long
drought in sections. These stretches
are just beyond st. George and on
both sides of Las Vegas, though Clark
county, Nevada, is now working on
this latter stretch. But there is moth
ing being done on the Utah stretch,
below st. George, and this is really
the bad part of the route at present
although not impossible. The Cali
fornia end of the route is boulevard
and you can easily make 200 miles in
eight hours. The Doctor and family
made the trip down with comfort in
four and half days, but took little
longer returning, tarrying along the
route TO shoot quail and ducks, Of
which there is an abundance.
