Honor these Seals
A nation-wide movement is carrying on
a warfare against the scourge of Consump
tion. In saving over 100,000 lives last year,
it actually cut the death rate from tuberculosis
in half.
Each year these organizations sell Tuber
culosis Christmas Seals. The proceeds from
these sales are devoted to the work of caring
for and curing tuberculosis patients and to
educational and other work to prevent the
dread disease.
Buy these Seals and urge
your friends to buy and use
them. To do this is both
Charity and Patrietism:
Stamp Out Tuberculosis

Just a Word Why
Churches Should Advertise
The writer was in Syracuse N. Y., one Sunday last August.
He was detained because of an accident to his car. He wanted
to go to church that night, but he didn't know where to go.
He picked up the Syracuse Sunday paper and looked through
it from the 'front page to the back, but there wasn't a word
about the church or the church services. As far as the papers
were concerned that city might have been churchless.
But it wasn't so with the movies and other houses of
entertainment. Oh.nol Their invitations were spread in large
advertisements all over the page. There were a dozen or so
invitations to go out on Sunday night for amusement, but
not one to go to the House of God.
Possibly the church notices appeared in the Saturday
issue. They generally do, but this was Sunday and the
Sunday paper was the one available. The amusement
places do not overlook the Sunday papers.
There may have been many more in the city with the
same thoughts and desire as the writer. He happened to
remember that sometimes the churches have bulletins in the.
hotel corridors, so he took the trouble to go downstairs.
Being a Methodist, he looked for the Methodist churches.
There were two on the board, so he picked out one and
took a chance.
We suppose that some will say that a man or woman
who wants to go to church will find a way. That's true,
but why permit the theatres to have the monopoly? Isn't the
church a business? If it isn't, it's time it was. Think it over.

CORN NOW MAIN
FOOD OF NATION
Washington, D. C. Corn has sup
planted wheat as the principal food
supply of the United States, according
to a comprehensive review Just com
pleted by the department of agricul
ture. The vital importance of the corn
crop and its relation to American pros
perity has been made the subject of
an Intensive Btudy by the depart
ment's oxperts, and the findings put
in the 1921 yearbook, Just published,
which' in a graphic survey presents
tho story of corn in all its details.
Corn Is produced by nearly 5,000,000
of the approximately 0,500,000 farms
In tho United States. Nearly 100,000,
000 acres of farm land is devoted to
the production of this single crop,
which, in recent years, has reached
more than 3,000,000,000 bushels. The
value of the 'crop during the war
reached more than $3,000,000,000 or
one-eighth of the present national debt.
The 1920 crop, the largest ever pro
duced, had a value of $2,160,000,000;
tho 1921 crop, $1,303,000,000.
Forty per cent of the total American
corn crop is fed to swine on farms,
20 per cent is fed to horses and mules
on farms. Only 10 per cent Is used
directly for human food, but 85 per
cent is used through tho consumption
of meat and meat products.
