Don r. Heath, former member of
the State Journal reportorlal staff and
-Washburn college student, who went
to Camp Pike, Little Rock, Ark, with
the Washburn ambulance corps, re-
turned to Topeka Sunday after being
successful in winning a recommended
ton for a commission in the officers
training camp that recently closed. He
is the first Topekan to return from
Camp Pike wearing the white arm
stripe indicating that he has qualified
to hold an army commission.
Heath was recommended for admiS
sion to the training camp by Captain
Lerrigo, commanding officer-of the
Washburn ambulance corps because
of his qualifications for assuming the
responsibilities of an officer. Shine"
Chamberlain, old Washburn football
star and also a member of the ambu-
lance company, who was a student in
the training camp failed to receive a
recommendation because of Illness
that interfered with his work. How
ever it is understood that he will go
to the next camp and hopes to win
a commission if he does not have an
other siege with the humps.

FACE the FACTS

EFT us face the facts The situation is critical.
II Unless the Allies fight they yet have
fought, defeat threatens. Hungry men cannot fight
at their best; hungry nations. France, England
and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them.
Wheat Savings-They must have wheat. 1t is the
best food to fight 1t is the easiest to ship. We
alone can spare it to them. BY saving just little
less than quarter OF what we ate last year-we can
support those who are fighting our battles, And
do it without stintng ourselves. W. have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn of Plenty--Corn is that food There's
surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the
hour of our need 1t has given in such bounty
never known before Tons of corn Train
loads of corn. Five hundred million bushels over and
above regular needs. All we have to do is to
learn to appreciated it. Was patriotic duty made
easy? And so clear?
Americas Own Food-Corn 1t is the true American
food The Indians, hardest of races lived on it,
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered
continent hen For t great SECTION f of our country i
fought on it, history tells Now it can help America
win world war;
Learn Something-Corn! 1t isn't one food. It's
dozen. It's cereal. It's vegetable. It's bread
It's dessert It's nutritious; more food value in it,
dollar for dollar, than meat or eggs most other
vegetables It's good to eat; how good you don't
know until you've had corn-bread properly cooked
Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic.
Corn's Infinite Variety-How much do you know about
corn? About how good it is? About the many
delicious ways of cooking it? And what you miss
by not knowing more about it? Here are few
of its uses:
There are at least fifty ways to use corn meal to
make good dishes for dinner supper, lunch or break
fast Here are some suggestions:
HOT BREADS DESSERTS
Boston brown bread Corn-mea molasses cake
Hoecake. Apple corn bread.
Mullins Dumplngs.
Biscuits. Gingerbread
Gridde cakes Fruit gems.
Wafes.
HEARTY DISHES
Corn-mea croquettes. Corn-meal fish balls
Meat and corn-meal dumpings.
Italian polenta. Tamales

GRASSY CREEK.
(Too late for last week.


We have had about two months
of zero weather, and we are yet
in the icebergs. In fact the
winter of 1918 is without a par
allel.
Aunt Louisa Haney, who has
been confined to her bed all win
ter is not expected to live.
S. H. Perkins, who has been
confined to his room for months,
is rapidly going down.
Mrs. 7. F. Stamper fell one
day last week and dislocatod her
arm, hut is getting along nicely.
Preparations are being made to
drill a well near Goodwins'
Chapel, on the farm of Joe G.
Stamper. Work will begin as
soon as the machinery can be
brought to the place and set up.
We are sorry to note the death
Of Uncle ions Oakley, who died
on the first inst. after a very
short illness, from complication
of diseases incident to old age.
He was 81 years of age, and a
reputable citizen, and always
cheerful. He left a wife and a
family of children and many
friends to mourn his loss.
Died at his home on Grassy, on
the 3rd inst. Leander C. Wilson,
a neighbor and kinsman, after
suffering long time from a can
Ger on his face. He was an hon.
orable, upright man a past 70
years of age. He leaves a wife
and many friends to mourn his
loss.
The schools in this section have
expired. There was but little in
terest taken in schools last year,
a blind man can see that a seven
months school term is a failure.
| opposed the bill before it be-
came a law and | oppose it yet.
A five months term is all this
country needs. The 18th of July
is as early as schools can begin,
and a five months term would
run up to December 18th and the
money expended for the other
two months is simply wasted.
Parents are not going to send
their little children to school in
mld-wlnter, thru snow, ice and
water, hence the money is vast
ed. Better expend the money
that is wasted on the last two
months of the school term and
appropriate it to building roads.
We could realize something out
of it if it was expended in that
way, but Morgan county don't
realize ten cents to the dollar for
the money expended for the last
two months of our school term.
Teachers just 20 to the school
house and find no pupils and they
go home and count the day. Is
that money wasted? Say your
self.
FAIRPLAY.
