1 For better food at less cost I K ■ I M AZOLA 1 I T) UTTER, lard and suet have been used for years for deep frying, |> sauteing or shortening—because the housewife could find wl® nothing better. Today the Food Administrator asks her to USe vc S cta^c oils. jffl? And Mazola, the pure oil from corn holds first place among •Sfir vegetable oils. It is the ideal medium for sauteing, deep frying, shortening and salad dressings from every standpoint. Mazola reaches cooking heat long before it smokes —cooks food more quickly and at the same time more thoroughly. This does away with that sogginess and greasiness so prevalent with the old cooking mediums. And Mazola can be used over and over again because it does not transmit taste or odor from one food to another! That is what makes it so wonderfully economical. Get a can of Mazola from your grocer today. Sold in pint, quart, half-gallon and gallon tins—the large sizes give greatest economy. Also ask for the free Mazola Book of Recipes or write us direct. Your money refunded if Mazola does not give entire satisfaction Com Products Refining Company TZIJ 17 Battery Place New York kZZ ON E P -L hIU. H HJ* B S \ S.IHm RetreienUUTW \ G. H.

CROP PRODUCTION For the State, and .United States Shows Material Gain Over Last Year OCTOBER FROST Cut Corn Crop—Tobacco Crop In Good Shape-Seed Corn a Big Problem Washington, Nov 13—A summary of preliminary estimates of crop production for the state of Indiana and for the United States, as compiled by the Bureau of Crop Estimates (and transmitted through the weather bureau) U. S. Department of Agriculture, is as follows: Corn —State: Production this year, 203,000,000 bushels; last year. 174. 658.000 bushels. United States; This year, 3,190.000,000 bushels; last year, 2,583.241,090 bushels. Wheat —State: This year, 31,588,000 bushels; last year, 19,440,000 bushels. United States: This year, 659,797,000 bushels; last year 639,886,000 bushels. Oats —State: This year, 76,440,000 bushels; last year, 52,500,000 bushels United States: This year. 1,580,714,000 bushels; last year, 1,251,992,000 bushels. Tobacco —State: This year, 8,460,000 bushels; last year. 3,256,000 bushels. Unite dStates: This year, 440,000,000 bushels; last year, 285,437,000 bushels. All Hay—State: This year, 3,077,000 tons; last year, 3,403,000 tons. United States: This year. 91,715,000 tons; last year, 109,786,000 tons. Potatoes —State: This year, 8,460,000 bushels; last year, 3,256,000 bushels. United States: This year, 440,000,000 bushels; last year, 285,437,000 bushels. Apples—State: This year 1,970,000 barrels of three bushels; last year 1,307,000 barrels. United States: This year, 59,200,000 barrels of three bushels; last year, 67,415,000 barrels. Prices—The first price given below is the average on November 1 this year, and the second the average on

November 1 lust year. State: Wheat, 204 and 169 cents per bushel. Corn. 145 and 76. Oats. 57 and 47. Potatoes 136 and 159. Hay, $17.10 and $lO per ton. Eggs 38 und 32 cents per dozen. United States: Wheat, $2 and 158.4 cents per bushel, corn, 146 and 85 cents. Oats 61.7 and 49 cents. Potatoes, 128 and 135.7 cents. Hay sls 20 and $9,99 per ton. Cotton, 27.3 und 18 cents per pound. Eggs 39.4 und 32 2 cents per dozen. Frost early in October cut the corn crop very materially, however, it is not wholly ruined, and will have some value. The average yield per acre ‘s about what was expected and the extraordinary large acreage this year will give plenty for home use and some to spare. Next year’s seed is the largest problem just at this time. The tobacco crop was harvested in good shape and is one of the largest and best produced In recent years. The dark tobacco, especially, is a splendid crop and is well housed. The hurley and cigar types are hardly as good, however.

DEFENSE COUNCIL Had Busy Meeting In Indianapolis—l9l7 Corn Crop Over Estimated PHYSICIANS CALLED Meet In Indianapolis Today —SO per cent of Eligible Men Needed In Service Indianapolis, Nov. 13—Plans for saving much of the Indiana corn crop damaged by frost, approximately 15,000,000 bushels were presented at the weekly meeting of the Indiana State Council of Defense today by N. E. Squibb. Mr. Squibb and A. E. Reynolds, also of the state council, have just returned from Washington, where they conferred with the federal authorities in an effort to secure the removal of certain restrictions in the Internal revenue laws which will permit of the handling of this soft corn by distilleries, turning it into commercial alcohol and stock feed. Mr. Reynolds informed the council that he believed there would be found upon investigation that the federal food department and people generally have been badly fooled with the apparent size of the 1917 crop of corn. He said his thirty years of experience in the grain business had lead him to believe that the 1917 crop will not exceed 50 per cent of the government estimates and that the selection of seed corn in Indiana is going to prove a very difficult task.

A committee consisting of A. W.; Brady. Charles Fox, Frank Wampler, George Ade and W. G. Irwin was named to pass upon the contents of the new patriotic text book being prepared for compulsory use in the high schools of Indiana. Plans for a public service reserve to be organized in Indiana under the! direction of the United States department of labor, were submitted to the ■ council in a general way by N. F. Squibb, chairman of the committee which will submit detailed plans for the furnishing of skilled men in industries as government needs require, at a subsequent meeting of the council. Indiana physicians will be called into a conference in Indianapolis Satur- ( day evening to hear an appeal for ap- . proximately twice the number of med- , ical men for the United States service, ( as are now available. Dr. Charles P. ( Emerson told the council that probab- f ly one-half of the eligible Indiana j physicians are likely to be called In- (

to the service. Dr. Jump, of the surg-j eon general’s staff will present an illustrated lecture for the physicians of the state, at the meeting. Great Political Questions.

Y, M. 0. A. VALUE In the Life of the Soldier Cannot Be Over Estimated PROMINENT U. S. MEN In Military Affairs Speak Well of “Y” Work In the Army CampsIndianapolis, Ind., Nov. 13—No higher endorsement of the war work of the Y. M. C. A. is needed than that given by the military loaders. Secretary of War Baker, General Pershing. and countless officers In the army and navy, have indicated that the association secretaries are a necessity In connection with the two branches of service. Here is what Secretary Baker said recently concerning the work:

"For many years the Young Men's Christian Association has been established as a prominent feature of army life in times of peace. The war, however, has developed for it a degree of prominence far larger and a field of usefulness far wider than even its friends could have hoped. Its capacity for mobilization on a large scale and the readiness with which it has fitted itself to the needs of the troops in training camps and trenches in this great world war make it an indispensable factor in any future military plans. It provides for the social side —the home side —of the life of a soldier, and its influence in rationalizing the strange enviornment into which the crisis has plunged our young men has been and will be most beneficent. ‘,‘The war department will backup the efforts of the Young Men’s Christian Association in this field with hearty co-operation. The commission on training camp activities, which I have appointed to advise with me in all that pertains to the social wellbeing of the troops, is working in close touch with the Young Men's Christian Association. Indeed, the latter is necessarily represented on the commission, and under its general direction is assuming responsibility for much of the social activity on the inside of the camps. ‘“I have always had a feeling that such work as the Young Men’s Christian Association is doing in the field with the troops should be regarded as much a part of our military system as the provisioning of the troops with ammunitions and supplies, and that the cost of it should be a legitimate charge against government funds. Probably the time is not ripe for such development, but ultimately I believe it will come. The functions of government grow as their

i need is shown by experience and experiment. The experiment along social lines which the Young Men’s Christian Association has been conducting with armies in the last few years has proved its usefulness so conclusively that I see no reason why it should not some time or other be- , come a part of the official government.” ■ Several short excerpts from fererences by other military leaders are as follows: General John J. Pershing, commanding U. S. army in France: “The work now being done by the Y. M. C. A. for the comfort and entertainment of our soldiers in France is very important. As an organization, its moral influence is highly beneficial. It performs a real service that makes for contentment. The Y. M. C. A. has won its place by unselfish personal devotion to hte soldiers’ welfare and deserves staunch support by our people at home.” Hon. Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy:

| "From every standpoint, military, political, moral, It is our duty to protect these youths, so we can say to . the mothers when the war is over, |‘we return your sons as worthy your family circle as when they left it.’" Major General Hugh L. Scott: “I do not know what the army would do without the Y. M. C. A..”

Major General John F. O’Bryan: “Money can be turned over to the 1 Y. M. C. A. with every confidence that it will be expended scientifically [ and along lines most acceptable to . the soldiers.” Major General J. Franklin Ball, I U. S. A., commander eastern depart- . ment: “I regard the Y. M. C. A. as being as necessary as the Red Cross.” i 1> — Origin of Garden Carrot. Wild carrot or Queen Anne’s lace (Daucus carota) is thought to be the plant from which the cu! ivated gar- < den carrot originated. The garden carrot, if allowed to grow unmolested for several years, gradually loses the highly developed crown-tuber for which it is valued as a vegetable, and becomes indistinguishable from the ordinary wild carrot.
