Corn A Champion Crop.

Corn, on a given area, will pro-
duce more human food than any
other crop commonly grown on
American farms. This crop heads
the list in units of energy produced
per acre, and is ahead Of all other
crops except navy beans and soy
beans III tissue-building material.
In the latter element soy beans far
outclass all other crops, showing
nearly twice as much protein per
acre as navy beans, which rank
second in this regard.
The dairy cow is the most efficient
of farm animals in the production OF
human food (milk) and the hog is
the most efficient in the conversion
of grain into meat, producing five
times as much per acre of crops as
does any other animal.
These facts and others are told In
the United States Department OF
Agriculture's Farmers Bulletin ST.,
"Human Food From An Acre OF
Staple Farm Products which gives
an acre-for-acre comparison OF the
food value of various crops and
animal products.

Forgot What He Needed.

From the Republican, Mt. Giliad

gest to the proprietors of stores, that
they post their clerks, and never let
them substitute. Customers lose
faith in stores where substituting is
permitted, to say nothing of the in
justice to makers of good goods and
the disappointment of customers.

HOLD ON TO WAR
SAVINGS STAMPS
Secretary of Treasury Urges
Citizens to Keep Govern
ment Securities Until They
Shall Have Matured.

Carter Glass, Secretary of the Unit
ed States Treasury, has issued warn
ing to patriotic American citizens
against INSCRIPTIONS persons who adj
vertise that they are willing to pur-
chase War Savings Stamps. Mr.. Glass
does not wish to have the government
securities sold at sums below their
actual value.
He points out that people who are
actually in need of money may take
their War Savings Stamps to a post
office and receive cash. Mr.. Glass
urges holders to keep their stamps
until maturity.
He states that War Savings Stamps
belong only to the individual who first
purchased them and that people who
offer to buy stamps at low premium
are violating the letter of the law in
so doing. Men and women selling
stamps are not only losing money
which rightfully belongs to them, but
are aiding inscriptions agents to
reap profits.

Briefs About Birds.

Birds migrating at night average
longer flights than the day migrants.
The nighthawk performs the long
est migration journey of any land
bird. Its trip is 1000 miles. from
the Yukon to Argentina.
The files of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture contain
more than 100000 cards concern
ing the distribution and migration
of North American birds.
The Attic tern holds all records
for length of migration. When the
young are full grown the entire
family leaves the Arctic regions and
several months later is found skirt

WHY ONE more
LOAN IS NEEDED.
It Will Settle Nations War
Debts and Will Care for
Sick and Wounded.

Once in a while some one asks:
Whats the need of another Liberty
Loan now that the war is over?"
Revenue from taxes will not be suf-
ficient to pay all the bills, so the
people will be called upon to provide
the money by subscribing to govern
ment bonds This money is going to
pay of the army of producers at home
the farmers, merchants, manufac-
turers and others.
America had just begun to fight
when the Hun decided it was time to
quit. Allied leaders expected the war
to last another year and the United
States government was turning out
ships, arms, ammunition and food to
overwhelm Germany in one big
drive.
Treasury officials have revealed
that in 1919 America would have had
a tank at the front for every seventy
i've feet of line. We would have had
ten tons of mustard gas ready for
shipment for. every ton Germany
could produce Thousands of batter
les of guns would have been in act
ion for every one America had in 1918.
Everything else was being produced
in proportion.
This gigantic preparation brought
an early end to the war and saved
thousands Of lives. Victory Liberty
Bonds will pay for this work which
had been contracted for and was be-
ing delivered when the armistice was
signed.
There are other purposes for which
money is need. Part of our army of
2,000,000 men must be kept in Europe
until the peace treaty is signed.
These soldiers must be fed. clothed
and otherwise maintained. Then they
must be brought home.
The sick and wounded must be car
ed for in hospitals. The army must
be demobilized There are thousands
of manned soldiers, heroes Of the
great war, who must be taught sell
supporting trades and given an oppor-
tunity to earn their living.
This reconstruction work at home
must be carried on. The job must he
finished. The American people who
furnished the money to win the war
must supply it also to bring the ma
tion back to peace basis.

Red Cross First Aid Courses.

RED Cross first aid courses will
soon be introduced in public schools
throughout the United States and
the territory of Alaska, if the in
terest being displayed in the sub
ject by state superintendent OF
schools and boards of education
gauges the trend of this movement"
said Colonel c. H. Conner, Medical
Corps, U. S. A., Assistant Director
General of Military Relief OF the
American Red Gross. Reports which
have come from DR.. E. r. Hunter,
Director Of the First Aid Division,
who has made a tour Of the country,
show that majority Of state super
intendents of education already have
endorsed the course, and in several
states the process of introducing the
course is in active operation.
In calling attention to the need OF
first aid instruction for both chill
dren and adults throughout the
country, Colonel Conner cited re-
port of the Interstate Commerce
Commission for 1916, which gives a
total of 206,723 casualties on the
steam railways of the United States
in that year, an increase of some
80, 900 accidents of the kind over
the previous year. Colonel Conner
estimates that roughly 100000
fatal accidents occur in the United
States annually, in large number
Of which instances death could be
averted by timely first aid treatment
given by some instructed layman
while the doctor is being sought. It
is in the precious few minutes be-
tween the moment the accident hap
pens and the arrival of the doctor
that life may be saved by lntelli-
gent care on the part of some
student of first aid, declares Colonel
Connor

Germany will need vast quantity
of food from abroad during the
coming year and she hopes to get 1t
largely from America, according to
reports which come from our army
of occupation now on enemy terri
tory. 1t is estimated that among
the supplies Germany will need dur
ing the next year are three and a
half million tons Of grain, one mil
lion tons of meat, and one million
tons of fat. Experts figure that this
food will cost five billion marks.
The present value of the mark is
about eleven and one-half cents,
which would be something less than
six hundred million dollars.
How Germany is to pay for this
food she wants from us has not been
decided but there is growing idea
that payments are to be made by the
sale of foreign securities held by
Germany.

American women-many of them
in the uniforms of their country's
army and navy-played bigger and
more important part in the war
which the Paris Conference is about
to end than the greatest feminist
ever dreamed would be possible. In
previous wars woman's activities
were none the less heroic because
almost exclusively humanitarian,
but in the struggle drawing TO a
close she was conspicuous in every
phase of the conflict, save in actual
battle-though the Russian army
had its regiment of women in more
than one engagement.
Women wanted a chance to show
that they were equal to the tasks the
war imposed, and they received it.
There were some who doubted the
wisdom of reposing these heavy re-
sponsibilities on women, but the va
rious departments of the Govern
ment have not been disappointed.
The administration afforded women
opportunities to demonstrate their
usefulness as units of the Govern
ment, and they met the test in every
way.
In the big financial and Industrial
problems which the administration
had to solve in conducting the war,
women gave notable assistance.
Much of the credit for the success
of the Liberty loans goes to women.

Looking Ahead.

Higher rates of wages paid dur
ing the war and still being paid,
have opened to workers the choice of
various new standards of action
they cannot all be called standards
of living.
The near-sighted are using their
unusual wages to indulge in all
sorts of extravaganza which gives
little real satisfaction and con-
tributes nothing to permanent
family stability. Where they are
not harming themselves. they are
cultivating tastes which they cannot
hope to crafty indefinitely.
Others, the far-sighted ones. have
used their increase in wages to inn
prove their comfort up to the full
efficiency point for themselves and
their families, and are thinking
carefully before they spend their
surplus.
These far-sighted people have
taken the war and its unusual OPP
portunities for earning very serious
ly; just as they did not expect the
war to last always they have not
banked on war conditions in en-
ployment enduring indefinitely. They
are ready for the future. If wages
keep up they are still SO much ahead
Of the game.

FARMERS BACK
CITY. RENTERS
Single Tax Body Demands
Congress Pass Laws to
Curb ProGteers.

Prompt passage OF legislation by
Congress at the coming session to
combat rent proflteering was demand
ed today by the Farmers National
Single Tax League. in an open letter
to both Chairmen Hays and Cum
mings, OF the Republican and Demo-
cratic National Committees.
The league declared that the preva-
lence of rent profiteering has SO out
ragged the people in large cities that
they are demanding relief and that
if this relief is not promptly forth
coming they will make it an issue at
the coming election. Support of the
leading farm organizations in the
country is assured to any political
step taken IN this connection. the let
ter states.
The league declared the rent ques-
tion is just as serious as the high cost
OF living and unemployment. and ex-
pressed the desire to be informed as
to what the attitude of both parties
will be on this problem.
Urge Heavy Vacant Land Tax.
There is no city in the country"
the letter states, that does not have
almost as much vacant land as i'm
proved within its limit or Immediately
adjacent. The levying OF a stiff tax
against such vacant land and the re-
moval of taxes from houses would
bring most OF it into use at reasonable
prices and would stimulate the build
ong Of homes.''
This was advanced by the league
as one way to force down rent
profiteering.
The workers of the United
States" the letter concludes, ARE
not going to tolerate land monopoly
and speculation. Farmers and city
wage earners alike see that il any
group in society is allowed to get
something for nothing the real pro-
ducers are sure to be defrauded.
Your party expects to appeal to the
great masses of the people for sup
port. 1t cannot AFFORD to neglect
this great problem"
