SEEMS EVERYONE
HEARD ABOUT IT
All want to try new drug that
dries up corns so they
lift out

Good news spreads rapidly and drug
gists here are kept busy dispensing free
zone the recent discovery of a Clncin-
natl man, which is SAID to loosen any
corn so it lifts out with the fingers
A quarter of an ounce costs very lit
tie at any pharmacy, but is said to be
sufficient to rid ones feet of every hard
or soft corn or callus.
You apply just a few drops on the
tender. aching corn and instantly the
soreness is relieved, and soon the corn
is so shriveled that it lifts out with
out pain. 1t is a sticky substance which
dries when applied and never~inf1ames
or even irritates the adjoining tissue.
This discovery will prevent thousands
of deaths annually from lockjaw and in
lection heretofore resulting from the
suicidal habit Of cutting corns.-(Advt.)

SETTING THE PACE.

Referring to the popular belief that the metropolitan centers are citadels of corruption upon which no impress sion can be made, the Union Signal says that this big city bugaboo' is now losing it's terrors. It points to New York's board of health. to Chi cago's Sunday closing, to Philadel- phia's stand against the use of alco- holic drinks by it's city employees, and remarks that the public will look ex- pectantly to Boston, St. Louis and Baltimore for some spectacular move
 ment which will excel the reforms of
 the other three. Meanwhile" it says,
 in the great cities of the Pacific coast, Seattle and Portland, and in the l municipalities of the middle West,
 Denver and Des Moines, prohibition
 is not only demonstrating it's success
 as. panacea for civic ills. but has
 reached a stage of popularity where
 the men who wrote and orated against
 it few months ago, are now eloquent
 ly insisting that from time immemo-
 rial they have been it's ardent and selfsacrificing advocates"

CAPTURE THE WEEVILS

Thousands of men, women and boys and girls have been in the cotton fields in the last ten days picking off flared squares and burning them and thus saving thousands of bales of cotton. Pick off the flared squares, pick up the the fallen squares and keep on cul- tivatiing. Then next winter Arkansas farmers should give their farms the best cleaning they have ever had. The Extension Division of the University of Arkansas and U. s. Department of Agriculture is planning a great Cleanup" campaign and for fall and winter blowing, thus fighting the we9- vii and doing better farming at the same time. Clean up farming is a. bout the best method after all for f. ghting insect pests.

A FINANCIAL BENEFIT.

West Virginia saved s675O0 last Christmas time through a decrease in murders. MT. Sim Irion, secretary of the Charleston Business Mems asso- citation, cites statistics showing that for 33 years there has been an aver age of r murders in the state during the Christmas holidays, all of them traceable either directly or indirectly to whisky and it's evil influences. This Christmas there were only two mur- ders as result of drinking. The average murder trial in West Virginia, 1t Is stated. costs s4,500. Seventeen murder trials therefore cost the state $76,5OO. Two cost about 5000, a sav- ing of approximately $67,500.

DESTRUCTIVE IMPLEMENTS.

Some manufacturer of booze tools for the home is turning out cocktail shakers made in "exact facsimile" of the shrapnel shell cases Europe uses. These trig implements of destruc- ton are shown in one of New York's Fifth avenue shop windows as an at. tractive novelty" for shoppers. The people who thought of adapting shell cases to booze have grasped a pro- found symbolism. The cocktail Is about as deadly an explosive as the shrapnel, only It's time fuse is rather long. We hardly expected the liquor folks to ad. vertise this resemblance.-Collier's Weekly.

EXPECT BETTER TIMES.

There have been many dire predic- tions regarding the disaster that is to follow the departure of the saloon in wet territory in this state, but gener- ally speaking no delusions are held along this line by the-more prominent business men of Idaho" says the Boise News. While they look for tempo rary depression prior to the readjust- ment, they expect afterwards impetus in business conditions and even better times than before the saloon became extinct The fact that much of Idaho has been dry for years and business conditions in the dry territory have even been better in some instances than in the wet territory, leads many business men to believe that the sa- loon is not so paramount a factor and that with readjustment the lost rev enue from it will not be missed"

PROHIBITION FOR KEEPS.

Below are given some of the req sons why Russia will never repeal it's prohibitory laws, based on statements made by Ernest Gordon. who has re- gently visited the country:
 In the insanity hospital in connec- tion with the northern Russian army there has been only one case of alco- pitals during the Russo-Japanese war were filled with alcoholic insane.
 In one town money grew so plenti- full that the villagers clubbed together and bought movie. Charging small admission fee they grew so embar- rassed with the riches that they pur- chased brand new fire engine, the village pride.'
 The Pirogoff society. the leading medical association of Russia, has heartily indorsed prohibition, declar- ing that "a whole mass of facts allow us to believe that prohibition has de- creased sickness (especially venereal and mentaD, lessened fires, suicides, crime, accidents and increased mate rial and industrial prosperity"
 There is general feeling through out Russia that it Is owing to the temperance movement" that the bad effects of the war are not felt.

PLACE OF SMALL SPRINGS


 The history of the aborignes in A Irizona is extensive, for on the plains, on mesas, and in the cliffs there arc many ruins of places occupied by the |early people. Some of these ruins it lis believed must be very old. However it is believed that the number of peo- pie living in the region at that tune may not have been great, for the abor igines frequently moved from place Io place. The early expeditions of the Spanish explorers found many puet- los. The first Spaniard to enter Ar izona was Marcos de Niza, a Francis can friar, who crossed the southwest corner in 1539. A year later Niza led Coronado to the Pueblo country, and two small expeditions from this great exploring party visited the Hopi country. The present Indian popu- lation of the State is nearly 42,OOO.
 The word Arizona is taken from the Papago language, in which it is said to signify place of small springs.-- U. s. Geological Survey.

Big Game Is Increasing
Within States Forests

A census of game animals on the
national forests of Colorado, taken
during the past winter. showing
general increase over the 1914
count for all the species excepting
antelope, is indicated by a report
submitted by the district forester
to the United States biological sur.
vey.
According to the report there
are 1871 elk in the state, an increase
of 5 per cent; IS antelope, a de-
crease of II per cent; 2I,5ol black
tailed deer, 9 per cent increase;
80 white tailed deer, 20 per cent in
crease, Io295 beaver, 10 percent in
crease; 1865 black or brown bears,
II per cent increase; I76 silver tip
bears, an increase of Iper cent. The
decrease in the mum Der of antelope
is ascribed by the forest officers
to the fact that the antelope range
is almost wholly without the nation
al forests making the estimate un-
reliable. 1t is believed, however,
that the total mum Der is gradually
decreasing due to the fencing up
of former range.
During the past three years 275
head of elk have been shipped into
the state from the region of the
Yellowstone national park through
cooperation between the biological
survey. railroads, local residents
and organizations, and the forest
service. According to the district
forester, these shipments have re-
suited in the growth of a much
heartier interest in game protec-
ton thruout the state.
