Mobile June .-(pecial. )-Mobile Is the first city I have met that is bigger than its reputation Ask a citizen of Atlanta or Birmingham what he knows about Mobile and he is likely to reply with a mere purse of the lips. You gather that Mobile is a nice, dopy lit tie town something like pocket Brooklyn-e for sleeping pur- poses.
 We'll I had more trouble sleeping in Mobile than anywhere else so far. It of street ears under my window, or the fact that inns bearing the menacing names Battle House" and Savage Hoter were close at hand.
 But I think 1t was more because I kept frenziedly leaping about after people who ought to be made into stories-people who are famous for writing books and poetry; people who are making millions raising oceans and satsumas people into whose homes billions could not buy entrance, yet whose doors fly open to the shipping clerk whose parents, both grand and great grand, were real folks; people who are making and unmaking empires with their ship building, their lumber ling, their manufactures, their cotton broking.
 Then I drove out Government street it was on Easter Sunday-and sud- denly I lost interest in Chamber of Commerce stuff. Instantly I yearned to write about the sun on the grass, the superb spreading branches of the live oaks, the big, square old houses with

SN BIRMINGHAM never does things by TX halves; for instance look at the ~ Registration Day patriotic parade and the thousands of splendid, brave, mo- ble young men who pledged their life for their country
 That day made hlstory-history that will go down to future generations which will lovingly read of the patriotic men and women who stopped work, closed their offices, suspended business and joined in one vast celebration of our country's part in the present great world war.
 And the women, how they did march and work and stand by their men folk. It was splendid to see them, but then that's the true spirit of American wom- anhood, and no nobler women ever lived than those right here in this community who have sent their boys and husbands to the training camps with God bless you" on their quivering lips, and tears in their misty eyes, yet smiling through it all.
 But our women are not the kind to play the sob sister part" they are not of that cd!ibre; they are not the kind to sit down and fold their hands in their laps and cry over the pitiful war situa- ton, but with true American pluck they have "girGed their loins" and gone into every channel and mart which affords any opportCnity whatsoever to help the situation; not the. least of which is the investment of their savings in liberty loan bonds.
 Today MT McAdoo and MT. Harding are the honored guests of Birmingham in the interest of the liberty bond issue; they have come to tell us what it means for us to generously invest in the govern ment's offer and what it means to our

Thanks to a new discovery made from Japanese product, your foot troubles can be quickly ended.
 IceMint. as this new preparation is called, is said to shrivel up hard corns, soft corns or corns between the toes so that they can be lifted out easily with the fingers.
 Rub little on any tender corn or callous. Instantly the soreness Is re- lieved and shortly the corn or cal lous will loosen so that it can be lifted right out with the fingers root and all. No foolishness.

Ice-Mint Is a, clean, creamy, snow white, non-poisonous substance and does not inflame or even irritate the most tender skin. There Is no pain smarting or even a bit of soreness while applying Ice-Mint or after wards. It acts so gently so magical ly that you will never want to run the risk of blood poisoning by cut ting a corn again.
 Ask your druggist for a small jar of ce-Mint which will cost little yet is sufficient to rid ones feet of ev- cry corn or ca1lous. You'll like it immensely.
