BOTTINEAU COUNTY EXCEEDS
ITS QUOTA BY ABOUT
$4,000 IN DRIVE.

The people of Bottineau and near.
by townships have reason to feel
proud of the results of the campaign
for the sale of the Second issue OF
Liberty Bonds, for although the drive
was a little delayed in starting and
the amount seemed large one to
raise in so short time the people res
ponded so literally that the appor-
tionment made to this locality was
over subscribed, the total sum sub
scribed by 319 subscribers being 1884,
450.OO. An outstanding feature was
the activity of the women's campaign
and the large number Of women and
girls subscriptions amounting to Sc
650.OO.
A splendid showing was made by
the country precincts where cam:
paign was carried on and demonstrat.
es beyond question that the Bottineau
county farmer. is as anxious to do his
bit as any other class of citizens when
it is put up to him.

TO DEFEND PANAMA CANAL
Government Asked to Advance One
Billion Dollars.

Washington, May 29.-Panama has
proposed that the United States ad.
vance billion dollars for immediate
construction of strategic roads and
railways as a step in proper defense
Of the Panama canal zone in the world
war.
The sum would in effect be an ad.
vance on account of the $250,000 a
year which the United States is to pay
Panama in perpetuity under the canal
treaty.
The cost of the works would be
shared equally by the United States
and Panama and the construction
would be done with Panama canal
equipment and by American engineers.
The plan has been proposed by the
Panama war mission now here, which
has advanced it as one by which the
canal and Panama territory may be
effectively defended.

ITALIANS SMASH
AUSTRIAN LINES

London. - BY smashing the Aus.
trian lines on the Corso plateau and
north of Gorilla the Italians have
made additional important gains, he.
sides capturing more than 1900 pris.
oners and eleven guns.
In an assault between Jamiano and
the coast the Italians carried a strong
ly fortified hill southwest of Medeazza,
less than two miles north of Dunno, on
the coast.
Near PLAYA, Cadorna's men carried
by storm the heights at the head Of
the Palliona valley By this they con-
nected their lines on Mount Cucco
with those on Hill 1863, both of which
were taken early in the recent fight.

ITALIANS MOVING FORWARD

Are Making Spirited Efforts to Break
Through the Austrian Line Toward
Triest-ArtiIIery DueIs Continue Be-
tween the French and Germans.
London, May 29.-Aside from the
Austro-Italian theater, especially the
southeastern sector where the Italians
are making spirited efforts to break
through the Austrian line toward
Triest, little fighting of consequence
is taking place.
Artillery duels continue between
the French and the Germans in the
Champagne region Of France, while
along the front held by the British the
operations are mainly by small raiding
parties.
On the eastern front the Russian
artillery fire against the Austrians is
increasing, probably presaging the ap.
proach of hostilities and on a great
scale.
In the vicinity of Jamiano the Ital.
ians have captured fortified Austrian
trenches and along the Julian front
have made further gains and consoli-
dated positions previously taken.
Italian Casualties Heavy.
Vienna asserts Sundays attacks by
the Italians near Jamiano were re.
pulsed and that near Castagnievizza
attempts at an advance by the Ital-
ians failed. 1t asserts also that the
Italian casualties have been very
heavy, the ground before the Austrian
position being covered with Italian
dead. More than $4,000 Italians had
been captured up to Sunday, the state
mcnt says, 1000 of them having been
made prisoner on the Carso plateau.
British airmen are continuing to
operate extensively against the Ger
mans in France. Twelve German ma
chimes were destroyed in fights in the
air Monday and ten others were sent
to the ground out of control.
Another machine fell victim to Brit
ish anti-aircraft guns. Three British
machines failed to return to their
base.

REvOKES ITS NEUTRALITY
Brazil Will Join United States In
WaqinQ War.

Rio Janeiro, May 29.-The Brazilian
chamber passed the first reading of
the government measure revoking
Brazil's neutrality in the war between
Germany and the United States. The
vote was 1876 to 8.
The leaders of the principal political
factions declared that they would vote
for the proposed project, because they
felt confident that parliament would
complete the measure by rveoking
also in favor of the entente the coun-
try's declaration of neutrality and
thereby permit Brazil to take sides
with the entente against Germany.
This declaration brought forth en-.
thusiastic applause.

CORNS ACT LIKE
A PUSH BUTTON
Tells Why They Are So
Painful and How to Lift
Them Right Out.

If you push on an electric button you
form a contact with a 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. A few drops
applied directly upon n 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 tissue or skin.--Adv.

store a small package of Anuric which
is to be taken before meals, in order to
expel the uric acid from the system. The
