Americans Grab TWine Orders from English,
 Despite Opposition

London, Dec. 21.-American twine will be used almost exclusively to bind next years British harvest. Agents for the United States mills now on the spot have already placed enough orders for this purpose, des- bite earnest appeals to the farmers to give their business to the home manufacturers on patriotic grounds
 English farmers were told that if they would buy their twine from the English manufacturers they would affect saving to the nation of $1,- 25O,0OO and 10000 tons of cargo space for food shipping. Binder twine, it was pointed out, is bulky, occupying more than two and a quar- ter times the space required for dead weight.
 The English farmers were also in formed by the local trade that the manufacturers in this country were never in a batter position to supply all their needs. Stocks were said. to be higher than usual because the ex- port of twine is prohibited. Eighty per cent. of the people employed in the local mills are women so that there was no question of requiring male labor that might be needed on government work. As to prices it was claimed that the British manu- facturer could compete favorably with the one across the Atlantic.
 But for some unexplained reason the orders went to the Americans. The English farmers seemingly ig- nored all these appeals. The position was somewhat complicated in the case of dealers who handle Ameri- can agricultural implements, as it is usually understood that these agents shall make a point of stocking Amer ican binder twine

 BUTTONS ON TOES
Tells why a corn is so painful and says cutting makes
 them grow.

Press an electric button and you form a contact with live wire which rings the bell. When your shoes press against your corn it pushes it's sharp roots down upon a sensitive nerve and you get a shock of pain.
 Instead of trimming your corns. which merely makes them grow, just step into any drug store and ask for a quarter of an ounce of freezone This will cost very little but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from ones feet. few drops applied directly upon a tender, aching corn stops the soreness instantly, and soon the corn shrivels up so it lifts right out, root and all, without pain This drug is harmless and never in flames or even irritates the surround ing tissues or sktn-

Closely followed by aeroplanes, and

orange, flashing in the sunshine,
swung over Pensacola and effected
a landing on East Hill yesterday af-
ternoon, completing a most successful
practice trip.
Promptly at half past two, the
big bag left the aeronautical station,
Lieut.. Commander Frank McCrearv

16-mile wind was blowing, and the
balloon took a northeasterly course
over Pensacola, the streets of which
were thronged with people watching
the first successful test of the kind
made here.
No difficulty was experienced in
landing the balloon. The precision
with which this type can, be landed
is one of its features.
The balloon landed near the cor
ner of fourteenth Avenue and Eigh-
teenth street and it had hardly set
tied on the ground before large
crowd of persons, who had been fol-
lowing it, gathered. These includ-
ed a squad of motorcycle men from

truck from that place, into which the
