The Department of Agri culture's August crop report issued today showed corn prospects im proved to the extent of 67,000,000 bushels during July, indicating a to tal production of 3,191,000,000 bushels. Wheat, however, shows a decrease of 25,01)0,000 bushels. Springs wheat had a bad month and prospects de creased "40,000,000 bushels, but winter wheat returns indicated 15,000,000 bushels more than forecast in July.

In this connection I want to make these points quite clear to you. First, that flour, made from the entire grain, has not been proved to be a more nutritious food than white flour, for this reason: Our bodies are nourished by what we absorb,, not by what we swallow. Tta.ere js a larger proportion of gluten, and slightly so of mineral salts In whole wheat as compared with white flour, but this Is balanced by the greater waste of the former. e digest white bread more complete ly, therefore it yields as much to the body as the whole wheat bread, which is useful where bulk or waste product is desired. Tho second point is that the experts sent to Eu rope to watch and study food conditions there now say that Germany made -a great mistake in using the entire grain as food for men. As now used, in this country, the extraction of the grain for white flotir is not complete, and the residue Js sold as food for cattle. It should be plain to every one thai food for cattle, especially to keep dairy herds intact and giving a full quota of milk, is a prime necessity. Milk is the food of babies and children, and it is one of the cheap and good sources of different greatly needed foods. We must not deplete or lower the quantity or quality the milk supply. fr Let us learn to use cornmeal, rye and other flours in many different ways in our own kitchens. a necessity that the demand on flour shall be lessened. but do not let us urge or permit legislation which might give opportunity for a positive depletion of nutritive quality. Particu larly let us Know what we are about, and talk as welMs use intelligently. In this connection let me further say that I, believe it is yet unproved whether it is cheaper and better for all families to make instead of buy bread. It depends. It depends both upon the kind of bread you can buy, and the kind you can make. It depends upon the number in your family, and the kind bf flour you use and its cost. It depends upon how you use and waste bread. In this particular crisis it would seem a yery proper study for the Home Eco nomics Departments of the colleges to carry on a survey and determine under what circumstances it was better and cheaper to buy than to make bread; or make rather than buy it. I do not believe either the Department of Agricul ture or any other Department has sufficient established data to make a claim either way as yet. Helen Louise Johnson Bread Jelly. 2 cupfuls broken bits dried white, sweet, or white and whole wheat bread, mixed, teaspoonful nutmeg juice and grated rind H lemon, 2 cupfuls boil ing water, teaspoonful salt, & cupful sugar. Simmer together the bread, water and salt until it is thoroughly blended, stirring with a wire whisk; it will take about 20 minutes. Then add the sugar and nutmeg and when tepid the lemons.

(Special Cablegram 4 Tt Bee Via Slav Press Bureau.) lr. Karel Kramar has been released from imprisonment. His journey from "the Mocllersdorf prison in lower Austria became a continuous ovation when he reached Bohemia. He was greeted -hy the Czechs like a great hero. Thousands of people flocked to the stations through which the train bearing him passed,, they came with flags and music and innumerable speeches of welcome were made in response. Kramar declared that this , 5s a time when not only words, but ' Aeds, are necessary. Every Czech must sacrifice his comfort and con renience and even his life, if need be, or the liberation of Bofiemia.

It was announced at the American aviation service today thai American airmen had been picked to enter British, French and Italian aviation schools in time to complete their training at the earliest possible moment. The problem of sending the most efficient airplanes has been solved in part by the purchase of all available materials from the entente allies, thus permitting the Americans to begin their aerial operations much sooner than otherwise would be the case. The service has .been divided into pur chasing and operating divisions. Officers in the American service emphasize their belief that nothing should interfere with the plans in the United States. The officers say that where one man is needed in the re serve for each man in the trenches in aviation, to insure American pro tection and supremacy, it is estimated that five reserve men are needed for each man flying. Cotton and Sugar to Be ; Put Under Export Control Washington, Aug. 8. Three im portant commodities cotton, lumber and sugar probably will be put under export control soon by President Wil son. The exports council, it is under alresfiv has recomended that they be added to the list of goods for ;..-jC Su.imient ot:t of the country license is required. Goods that now cannot be exported without, license inciuue: Foods, feed stuffs, iron, steel and explosives. By adding cotton, lumber Y to these, the government will extend its control to cover, the most important or its export ma terials. Officials who comprise the exports council are particularly desirous that the shipment of cotton be controlled. This commodity, of which Germanj is in desperate need, has gone to the European neutral countries in large quantities within the last three years. Reports that the United States would bar coal shipments to Canada were denied today. D. S. ARMY UNITS TO BE MADESMALLER Divisions Will Consist of Nine teen Thousand Men Each and Proportion of Artillery Will Be Increased. (By Aaeevlated Frew.) Washington, Aug. 8.

The sixteen divisions of the nation al guard as now constituted will be realigned in conformity with the new plan after the guardsmen reach their training camp. Reserve Battalions. The smaller sized divisions call for maintenance of all units at full fight ing strength. For this purpose' re serve battalions will be provided. These will consist of 612 men each and are listed in the general order as 'separate training battalions." The number of these battalions has not been made public. Details of regi mental organization are also withheld for military reasons. "Each army corps will consist of three infantry divisions, corps head quarters and certain army corps troops not specified. Each army will I normally consist of three of more army corps, army headquarters and certain army troops not specified. Make Up of Divisions. "Under the new order each infan try division will be composed as fol lows, the changes from the present organization be ng as indicated: One division hrmlqURrtcrs (same us pres ent. One machine gun battalion of four com panies (new). Two Infantry brigades of two reRlmenta and one machine nun battalion (four com panies), each.

One engineer train (same, except that pontoon and aearchllRht sections are not Included In new plans) One sanitary train of four field hospital companies and four ambulnnce companies (same). Cavalry and Air Craft. The new organization provides for no cavalry in the division. The division as at present constituted calls for one regiment of cavalry. The present division also calls for one aero squadron while the new plan calls for none, the aircraft units being otherwise provided for. The regular army, the iiational guard and national army will conform to the same plan. South Dakota District Exemption Board Called Pierre, S. D., Aug. 8. (Special Tel egram.1!
