ed to be a tie. They cast lots and Mr..
Ebbe won. In the retirement of Mr..
Hoffman, the county loses an excellent
official and Grand Rapids may lose
good citipen. Mr.. Ebbe is a member
of the well known Ebbe family who
have resided for years in the northern
part of the county. Henry comes from
good stock and is apopular fellow who
will make an excellent official and
prove to be the right man in the right
place. He will assume his new office
duties Monday with the present force
whom he will probably retain.
The new corps of officers that will
be installed on Monday are well quail
flied for the Offices that have been e.
lected to and the Republican party of
Wood County will have no excuse to
make at the end of their administra-
ton, We extend congratulations to
all of them.

 lected Judges Will Act in Mena.

The Election Commissioners, con- sisting of Minor Pipkin, K. B. Cox and NJ. A. Stratton, have announced the appointment of judges to hold the city elections in Mena and Hat field on Tuesday, April 8. The judges who served in the city of Mena at the last general election, with one exception. are reappoint- ed, the exception being in the case of Ira O. Smith in the Second Ward, J. T.

 First Ward: w. W. Townsend, Leslie Moseley and Dr. w. E. Flick.
 Second Ward: Mark P. Olney, J. T. Spring and J. H. Allen.
 Third Ward: R. Golf, D. K. Dodd and w. J. Lauck.
 J. w. Martin, E. A. Davis and George finders were appointed to conduct the election in Hatfield.

CONTEST IN DECLARATION.
Three Entrants in H. S. Preliminary
 Trials Thursday Night.

The preliminary contest in decla- nation between pupils of the High school for the purpose of selecting a representative of the school to en- ter the county contest to be held on April 6 and :, was held in the High school auditorium Thursday after noon. There were three entrants in the contest. They were Robert Sale, Hubert Patton and Ed Parrish, the honors being awarded to Hubert Patton, who used as his selection that masterful address of Champ Clark on Aaron Burr. Robert Sales used as his selection Americas Mission, !"
 he address on Imperialism delivered by William J. Bryan. Ed parrish's selection was entitled National Apostasy." The hour of the con- test had not been publicly announced and yet there was a good attend- ance of visitors. The contestants all did we'll, and the training which they received thru the effort will be of more value to them than the honor of being selected as the re- presentative of the school. The pity is that not more of the pupils improved this opportunity to take this beneficial training.

Cincinnati Man Tells How to Shrivel Up Corns or Calluses So They
 Lift of With Fingers.

Ouch l? II This kind of rough talk will be heard less here in town if people troubled with corns follow the simple advice of this Cincinnati authority, who claims that few drops of a drug called freezone when applied to a tender, aching corn or hardened call lus stops soreness at once, and soon the corn or callus dries up and lifts right off without pain.
 He says freez0ne dries immediate ly and never inflames or even irri- tates the surrounding skin. A small bottle of freezone will cost very lit tie at any drug store, but will pos itively remove every hard or soft corn or callus from ones feet. Mill lions of American women will well come this announcement since the inauguration of the high heels. If your druggist doesn't have freezone tell him to order a small bottle for you.--AdV.

WOULDN'T AC-
 CEPT MEDIATION
Talk of Such Effort on Part of Euro pean Neutrals Looked Upon as German Intrigue to Embarrass
 President Wilson.

Washington, March 22.-Offers of mediation to prevent actual war be- tween the United States and Ger many are expected among the next developments.
 The administration officials here this morning heard that a certain European neutral was contenplat- ing such a plan, and they frankly re- garded it as another effort, backed by Germany, to divide sentiment in Congress and to embarrass President Wilson.
 It was declared authoritatively this afternoon that no proposals of mediation, or for any sort of dis cussion, would be considered un- less Germany first abandons her submarine campaign of ruthlessness.
 It is recalled that Germany never signed one of Bryan's peace inves- tigation' treaties, which would have bound the United States to inaction for year while a commission in- vestigated the situation.
 Meanwhile, every preparation for eventualities is being carried for ward 3y the army and the navy.
 At the present time, the navy is short just i3,5i4 men of it's present authorized enlistment sfranpfh of TABOO and the efforts to speed up recruiting are being redoubled.
 The present month has seen the largest recruitment on record with q net increase of f,9i7.
 Since Congress authorized a naval strength of 7i,500, total since Sep tember of 5,454 has been added to the navy personnel
 1t is stated that the authorized strength is sufficient to put all the ships immediately available into commission.
