HONOR FLAGS RECEIVED The Honor Flags given to those precincts who over subscribed their qouta of the Liberty Bonds have been received and were placed in the hands of the precinct chairmen today. Chairman Dick Townsend of the second ward “A’’ precinct is probably the happiest and proudest possessor of one of these flags. This Honor Flag has already three stars on it, one for every hundred per cent of over subscription over the quota and he states that before the campaign closes that the flag of precinct "A” will bear six stars, which would mean that sixty thousand dollars will be at least subscribed in this preceinct. The qouta was $9,300. The Honor Flag is hanging in the window of the Daily Demo crat. DISLOYAL WOMAN A woman on the interurban car last evening, who lives somewhere in the vicinity of Nine Mile, it is said, made remark sthat would indicate she was not in sympathy with the United States and she will undoubtedly be given "attention" by authorities.

There are three principal by-prod-ucts from a corn-canning factory which can be handled at a profit along conservation lines, says Merritt Greene. Jr., in The ('aimer. These byproducts are known as silage, cob.-,, and silker. Silage is composed <f husks, hulls and butts of corn from the husking machines, and when put into silos at $1 to $2 per ton is said to effect decided savings over silage cor n grown for that purpose at approxi[mately $4 per ton. Cobs come from the machines that cut the sweet corn off for canning, and may be utilized i by hauling out to a feed lot to be eat!en by hogs. Silker consists i's small (pieces of husks, large kernels which have been pulled podlly from the ear. together with the silk and more or loss juice from the milk of the corn.
