 Can we or can we not enforce the dOg-license ordinance in thi. town "
 The above was the question which confronted the city council last night and it seemed to be the consensu. of opinion that a dog ordinance with the seams calked, the hatche battoned down and the crownsheet, riveted and from which there car be no sidestepping, can be framed passed and enforced and that own CTS of dogs refusing to pay license may be prosecuted under blanke' charges ranging from sedition tf bigamy. The clerk was instructed to draft such ordinance.
 A warm discussion followed a mo ton by Councilman Young to in crease the salary of the city marshal from $125- to $150 a month. The two OlsOns, A. and O.. opposed tho motion on the grounds that the du ties of the marshal in these piping times of municipal peace are no such as to justify an increase il salary; that there are dozens O men-good men-in town who would gladly take the position at SIP. per month and discharge it's dutie just as we'll as the present incum bent The motion was carried Young. Murray and Mayor Smitl voting yea and August and Oliver Olson voting nay.
 The salary of the city assessor was raised from $75 to $10O, the council being unanimous that the former amount was not commensu rate with the duties of the office.

LIFT YOUR CORNS
" OFF WITH FINGERS

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an aw-
full death from lockjaw or blood pois-
on are now told by Cincinnati au-
thority to use a drug called f1reez-
one, which the moment few drops
are applied to any corn or callus the
soreness is relieved and soon the en-
tire corn or callus, root and all, lifts
off with the fingers.
Freezone dries the moment it is
applied, and simply shrivels the corn
or callus without inflamlng or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or or
skin. A small bottle of freezone will
cost very little at any Of the drug
stores, but will positively rid ones
feet of every hard or soft corn or
hardened callus. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone he can get it at
any wholesale drug house for you.

American Merchant Marine
A campaign to recruit and train
10000 men to officer the ships of the
new American merchant marine was
announced Monday by the Federal
Shipping Board and the Department
Of Commerce. Henry Howard Of
Boston, has been appointed direc-
tor, with offices in the Boston GUS
tom house.
The first nautical training school
under government direction was
opened Monday near Boston.
Fourteen similar schools will be es-
tablished along the Atlantic coast,
and later the training system may be
extended to the Pacific coast and
Great Lakes.
Applicants may be of any age, but
must be in good physical condition.
Previous nautical experience is de-
sirable and men will be paid reason
able compensation" during training,
which probably will last two months.
| Graduates must be examined and Ii
censed by the Commerce DEPARTMENT
steamboat inspection division, which
is now considering certain relaxations
of its strict rules governing admis-
/ sion of candidates to nautical SER
vice.
| An announcement made Monday
points out that merchant shippers
receive $3.50 a month and mates $3.50
with additional war bonuses.
at is thought" said the announce
ment, shat we can take a man Of
good understanding and some foun-
dalton of nautical knowledge and
make competent officer of him, in
the main essentials, sufficient for
practical work. There are many men
who have had experience in bailing
masters, or who have had practical
knowledge in one way or another as
regards the sea, who form a mass of
material for the schools to draw
from. There is no reason why a well
qualified man of so should not enter
the schools"
