McCurdy, Mgr. Randall’s Confectionery Sor ara “TOM’S PLACE Grape Juice. Full Quart for 50c The place that cures you of “That Tired Feeling” FACE the FACTS ET us face the facts. The war situation is critical. Unless the Allies fight as they never yet have fought, defeat threatens. Hungry men cannot fight at their best; nor hungry nations. France, England, and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them. Wheat Sav®gs—They must have wheat. It is the best food to fight on. It is the easiest to ship. We alone can spare it to them. By saving just a little— less than a quarter of what we ate last year—we can support those who are fighting our battles. And we can do it without stinting ourselves. We have only to substitute another food just as good. The Corn of Plenty—Corn is that food. There’s a surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the hour of our need. It has given us corn in such bounty as was never known before. Tons of corn. Train- loads of corn. «Five hundred million bushels over and above our regular needs, All we have to do is to learn to appreciate it. Was ever patriotic duty made so easy? And so clear? America’s Own Food—Corn! It is the true American focd. The Indians, hardiest of races, lived on it. Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered a continent. For a great section of our country it has blong een the staff of life. How well the South fought on it, history tells. Now it can help America win a world war. Learn Something—Corn! It isn’t one food. It’s a dozen. It’s a cereal. It’s a vegetable. It’s a bread. It’s a dessert. It’s nutritious; more food value in it, dollar for dollar, than meat or eggs or 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 a 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-meal molasses cake. Hoecake. Apple corn bread. Mufiins. Dumplings. Biscuits. Gingerbread. Griddle cakes. Fruit gems. Waffles. HEARTY DISHES Corn-meal croquettes. Corn-meal fish balls. Meat and corn-meal dumplings. Italian polenta. Tamales. , The recipes are in Farmers’ Bulletin 565, “Corn Meal as a Food and Ways of Using It,” free from the Department of Agriculture. IDAHO ‘An American (ity in France| Themselves, it Will Be the Main Base for Our | Army and Will Cost Millions | of Dollars. Washington—An American city is | rearing itself on French soil, It will | be populated entirely by Americans— a city of men. Everything about it | will be American. It will be a little | bit of New York or Kankakee or Whoozis transported across the Atlan- | tic and set up on an alien, though an allied soil. | It will be the main base of the Amer- lean army and will cost millions. There | will be housed the great depots, the | central hospitals, the entire heart of the American organization. Reports to the war department in- dicate that plans are well under way. This great city will be well removed from the front, in a locality already selected. It is all mapped out what is to be done. The location is a mili- tary secret, so are the plans. All that may be told is what will be there. German prisoners now in France | probably will be employed in the la- | bor of building. American architects | and’ engineers will direct the work, 'The placeswill be as typically Amer- | ican as if it Were in Ilinois or New | Hampshire. Out of it will run an} American railway — American built, | equipped and manned, direct to: the American section of the front. It is understood that it will be located in regard to harbor facilities so that American ships can come in to the docks, there to be unloaded by Ameri- can stevedore gangs, recruited from the wharves of United States seaports for that especial purpose. These men will wear the American uniform and will be enlisted for the duration of the war, It might be a combined seaport-rail- road-town-mining-camp-post - frontier- settlement, from all reports that are spread here, It’s company street probably will be “Main street” or “Broadway” and ev- erything about it will be U.S. A., even if it is “over there.” RISK LIVES AT FRONT When the shortage of men became ncute in England thousands of Brit- ish women volunteered to drive ambu- lances on the western front to permit- the men in the service to join the fighting forces. They have risked their lives daily in this dangerous work of succoring the wounded within the range of the German guns. Many have been killed by bursting shells, }and many more have been decorated for bravery under fire. They have very often gone to the extreme front battle lines to remove badly wounded Tommies. American women are now nobly offering themselves for this hu- mane but very dangerous work. Fol- lowing the example of their British sisters, several are already driving am- bulances on various battle fronts. TEUTONS CLAIM “CITY DAZER” All Germany Talking of New and Ter. rible Explosive Discovered by Chemist. The Hague.—tTravelers reaching Holland from the interior of Germany declare that the entire country is talk- ing of a new, terrible explosive discov- ered by a professor of chemistry. According to tales traveling from | mouth to mouth, very small quantities | of the explosive will inflict incredible | | damage. It is said that a bomb weigh- | ing 20 pounds will destroy everything | within a radius of a mile, while ten | | airplanes armed with bombs of the ex- | plosive could daze a large city in a) few minutes. | Some arrivals assert the story is | Read the Chronicle; an education for the whole family for $1.50| Semen ies ‘mel mallael m ct tec THREE PLAIN REASONS --why a-- The Stay Satisfactory’Range Should Grace Your Kitchen 1 The materials are se- Malle- able iron cannot break, lected wisely. in making, in shipping Polished steel resists rust with- out the help of stove blacking.

Co. | SSE Cottonwood Public School News (Contributed) Miss Frances Hattrup and Miss Mary Byam are the next to re- ceive penmanship certificates from the A. N. Palmer company. This makes three from the high school to receive penmanship diplomas. Many more are preparing exami- nations to be sent in. Students of the grades and high school purchased 337 thrift stamps last week. Olin Hamlin heads the list, having bought 240 stamps. Don’t forget the program given by Miss McGrew’s room at the Odd Fellow hall Saturday night, Feb. 9,- just before the basketball game. Two new pupils are reported in Miss Wardrobe’s room, Rose May |Shinnick and Joan Shinnick. Mrs. Hyde was a visitor at the school Tuesday afternoon. The boys in the club work had avery interesting lesson in rope work last Thursday evening. Their last lesson in rope work will be next Thursday evening, after which they will take up manual training work in the shop once a week during the afternoon. The gross proceeds of the high school play last Friday. evening amounted to $102.65. Because it is wartime and the girls of the Senior class are patri- otic they have voted to wear cot- ton dresses for Commencement. The cost of material for each dress is not to exceed five dollars. Our girls are clever and we will ven- ture to say these will be the pret- tiest five-dollar dresses of the sea- son. pS Diet Neal Weather Report for January.
