GIRLS! MAKE A BEAUTY LOTION WITH LEMONS THE United .States deiiartineiit of agriculture an nounces that, with the world facing a bread shortage the United .States will this year produce only enough wheat for its own consumption, "unless it cuts its present consumption." And the allies require from us approxi mately :100,(XX),000 bushels. It lies with the individual family to save, the situation, and salvation lies in those words above quoted "unless it cuts its present consumption." The substitute for wheat is corn, America's big crop, the only cereal crop in which she leads all the world. And, in many sections of the country, it is still not too late to plant corn, the Almighty having provided a spring season which is called "backward." The American citizen is "backward" who has not yet got the conviction into his system that this war is to be fought with bread quite as much as with bullets. IJeally, upon our ability to turn from wheat to corn depends one of our greatest war measures. It is a war measure that can be promoted by every person in this country who eats man, woman and child, those who can't carry a gun, or pay income taxes, join the Hod Cross, or lift a hand for smiting purposes in any way. It is opportunity for patri otic war service in which there's no such thing as inca pacity. .Studying corn meal and white wheat flour, we find that the former is the cheaper and the more nutritious. For these reasons, in a large part of the south corn has long since supplanted wheat for bread. But such a change, like most changes, depends for suc cess upon system and organization, when the change is to be made to meet an emergency. We are a peculiar people. Individually, we roar and kick over outrages upon us. Collectively, we submit. Knowing the power of organization and system under autocracy, the German autocrats smile over possibility of organization and systematization in our democracy. That America could or would engage in revolution in tho matter of eating, for war or any other purpose, is beyond their beJiet and is something they have not calculated upon in resorting to their policy of unrestricted starvation. lo take to corn bread is a big war necessity, as evi denced by the food situation and advised bv our govern ment. Proof of the emergency being strong and 7)lain. ac tion along systematic and organized lines is demanded. CONCERNING THE LIBERTY LOAN tioiuil, will remain a desirability and not u fiiot. The United Slates mut become thut power. In the interest of the rest of the world nml of the neutral states in Europe, the United States must be come the ono great non-Kuropeun power which must he consulted upon every internationtil decision of the slightest consequence. The duty of the United States, therefore, in the defense of international HrM, in the interest of international organization nt the close of the war, is the prose cution of the war in real earnest, and the organization of this country's po tential force in such fashion that it can never again thiukahly be disre garded. The part we play in the war will more than any other one thing decide the relationship of the United States to Kurope in the future. Upon the reality of our international status, moreover, will depend the character of the new international government, which will certainly he formed at the close of this war. If at the end of it tht- really great forces in the world are all Kuropeun, that government will not be truly international. f at the end of it the United States shall have achieved an actual equality in organization with the greatest pow ers of Europe, international organ ization will bo a fact, congress or no congress, theories or no theories, cwles or no codes. Kacts are facts, and we have it now in our power to make a new in ternational fact. We may rejoice that in achieving this fact we Khali achieve it literally more in tho inter chip of others tlmn in our own.

Hut that is exact iv where the shoe ranches. ConoTCHS has voted the monev. Hut the mere vote un happily does not supply the money. This can be supplied only by the people of the United States. And they can supply it only by subscribing to the liberty loan. If the loan fails, if the richest country "in the world has the disgrace of failing where England and France and Austria and Cermany have so abundantly succeeded, if the nation's appeal to the individuals who make up the coun- Try iaiis on ueat ears, men America lias been defeated in the very first round of the war and another trinnmli lmo been scored for Germany. Men and munitions and smmlies can nnlv bo Tinwlnvl forward to the firing line by the use of money. And if the money is not ouicklv forthcoming, our men. our nmnirimiu and our supplies will stay right here at home. Which is exactly wnere tne kaiser and Ins advisers want them to be. At the present time, with all the chances favoring a vic tory for our allies and ourselves, if our government can act : l. i i j.i ii n . . quicKiy ami uiorougiiiy, mere is in tins country both lib erty, and money to lend. If we delay, if we dally, if we palter, if we hesitate, thereby helping'the Germans to win this war, there will be something more serious than a de feat for our allies. 1 1 will be a defeat for us, too. It will mean a loss both of our liberty and of our ability to lend. For a. victorious Germany would make of us a subject nation as it would of a conquered France and a conquered England. And then all of us, instead of advancing monev to our own government and receiving in return a bond that was a good investment and that paid a good rate of interest, would have to turn over to German indemnity collectors all of our savings and a large part of our earnings lost to us forever. Because, depend upon it, if we lose this war, Ger many is going to make us United States people pay to the nail. She will do this because we are the richest na tion on earth and when she is through with us we may be one of the poorest on earth in readv cash.

DUBLIN',' May 22. The proposed convention is warmly welcomed by almost all sections of the national ists. Mr. Redmond's speech accu rately represents the view of his Mip porters in the Irish party. The con stitutional nationalists, who tire now opposed to that party anil who have marked their temporary dissatisfac tion by voting for Sinn rein candi dates, are equally in favor of the convention. Count I'lunkett and other extrem ists repudiate the convention as a .trap, but there is renson to believe that the Sinn Fein leaders now in jail disapprove of their conduct on the movement so that they do not rep resent the real body of extremists. The unionists express delight at the convention. They are strontrly op posed it) the partition of p'eland. which would isolate them, and are anxious for any opportunity to make clnimsVfor special treatment, which never so far have been definitely formulated. The real crux of the situation is to bo found in northeast Ulster. The Orange newspapers there have been extremely hostile to the idea of any convention to shn()e a constitution for Ireland; they declare themselves quite contented with government from Westminster. Hut Sir John Lons dale's speech in the house of com mons is regarded in nationalist cir cles as being more hopeful, unu" it is contended that if northeast Ulster rejects the convention the govern ment can hardly allow it lo hold up all home rule attempts. If Ulster eiders the convention, which is considered in well-informed circles its doubtful, it is probable thai terms could be arranged to meet its fears and thus render a continu ance of irreconcilable opposition untenable.

General Obregon, who recently resigned as minister of war, explained today tho reasons which prompt Mexico to en deavor to maintain absolute neutral lty In the war. At a farewell dinner before his departure tomorrow for Sonora. he said Mexico's self-respect called for this policy. Even If Mexico joined tho war, he said, she could give no effective aid. General Obregon Indicated that benefits which might acrue to Mex ico from a declaration for one side or tho other were appreciated clearly but aid It did not seem to him to be com patible with the dignity of the nation to accept such benefits when all that Mexico could glvo In return was, as he expressed it, "our regards."
