HALF OF CAMERON C0UNTY'S
QUOTA HAS BEEN PLEDGED
DRIVE STILL IN FULL SWING
Reports From All Parts of County Are
Excellent. Brownsville Had $751; ,OOO
Raised At Close Last Night

The Liberty Bond drive in Brownsville
j. now well beyond the half quota marx
and j. entering upon it, last. bnt hardest
phase Throughout the day Tuesday the
workers were working hard and secured
splendid results. and this morning they
again went into the drive with undimln-
ished vieor and enthusiasm, determined
to add another large bunch of subscrip-
tionS to the rapidly growing list.
Every sectional organization in the
Brownsville district has responded nobly
to the call There have been no ~lacker~
among the workers. Without exception
they have gone into the drive to stay, and
they will be hot on the trail until the last
dollar of Brown-ville'> quota L. raised.
Thus far they have been more successful
than was ever anticipated In most cases
it was simply proposition Of asking for
a subscription and the subscription was
forthcoming. but from row on it will be
harder work and smaller subscriptions
but they are gong to get them
When the workers ''knockcd off, last
evening S23l 900 had been raised. This
amount does not include the subScrip-
tlonS of Point Isabel Media Luna. Olmito.
and Villa Nueva. all of which are in the
Brownsville district At these points the
drive has been proceeding with the same
vigor a. in the city and the workers
have secured excellent results.
One thing the people Of this city should
bear in mind j. that there will be no great
amount Of public funds 10 put into the
Brownsville quota for the fourth loan. In
the third Liberty Loan $4,000 of public
funds were Forthcoming 10 help fill the
quota. but now there will be no such an
amount. This, in conjunction witH the
fact that the quota Is approximately 80
percent greater than the last loan, prac-
tically doubles it, and it j. essential that
every person subscribe at least twice as
much aS was subscribed for the third
loan. Many are doing thiS-and some
are doing more-but the great majority

Americas great corn crop, exceed
ing 5000 100000 bushels, will save the
worlds food situation, officials of the
United States food administration be-
lldve.
Corn IL the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning TO realize.
It contains all the elements needed to
keep a,e body In a state OF health and
when used according Ia the scores OF
tried recipes, especially when com
bined with an ADDED portion of oil or
fat. will sustain Hfe indefinitely. In.
diam 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
eser 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.

American colonlsts from famine on

I'm 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 tn
nations with which America is associ
ated in the war.
There are score of corn products
that today possess unusual importance

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 food adj
ministratlon.
The stories botherlng 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
bluelng 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 a 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 lnsidious, subtle, persist
ent. Bit by bit they dlssipate public
trust, the great essential in the work
of food control.
"It 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"
