WILL PRICES GO DOWN.
(From Greensboro Everything.)

(From Greensboro Everything.)
Food Controller Hoover says that
after November first men who buy
foodstuffs only to make profits will
not be allowed to operate. This looks
like there might be something doing.
and yet again it is very hard to see
how the ultimate consumer is to get
much benefit. The hope is that he
will, but we notice that supply and de-
mand in this town has much to do with
the situation. If it happens that there
are many eggs on the market, eggs
are cheap; but if the countryman
can't get in, the eggs go UP So with
chickens, so with all things we con-
sumo locally grown. In the matter
of flour and sugar no doubt the gov
eminent will work radical changes.
The meat supply seems to be worst of
all. There is certainly some profit
somewhere when bacon sells for forty
five cents a pound, but the retailer
doesn't get it. and the packer claims
be is buting close. When an average
hog sells for twenty-five or thirty dol
lars the wonder grows why should it
sell for that But it does. and that
seems to end it.

AMERICANS EXCHANGE FIRE
WITH THE GERMAN FORCES

With the American Army in France,
Saturday, Nov. 3.-(By the Associated
Press. )-Notwithstanding the rainy
weather Friday night and early Satur-
day, the German batteries displayed
more activity than normal on the part
of the French line occupied by the
American TROOPS. German shells
were distributed impartially among
the trenches, the American batteries
replying in the same fashion.
The enemy is using both high expIo-
sive and shrapnel in sending occasion
al reminders of the war toward the
Americans. Reports reaching head
quarters. however, are that the bonn
bardment could in no sense be con-
siderd lively merely being a depar-
ture from the normal state of quietude
at night on that particular sector.

LIFT YOUR C0RNS

Tells how to loosen a tender corn
or caIIus so it lifts out
without pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told By a Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is re-
lieyed and soon the entire corn or cal
lus. root and all, lifts off with the fin
gers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
pied, and simply shTivels the corn or cal
Ius without infaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very little
ut any of the drug stores, but will posi-
lively rid ones feet of every hard or
sot5 corn Or hardened, caIIus. IF your
druggist hasn't any f~reezone he can get

P. S.-Enclosed find letter wrote you of last week, which was an answer to the letter recently sent to me signed, "A Stranger in Town"
 Dear Hattie Highlands: We have been much interested in the letters signed "A Stranger in Town" published last Sunday at the conclusion of your letter to Becky. A number of my friends have talked to me about it and various answers have been offered in reply to it's questions. All must acknowledge that there is much justice in the criticism advanced and we feel that criticisms given in this friendly spirit is good for us.
 The writer seems to have observed us closely and to regard us as of a different order. The question asked about the south suggests that the writer might be from the north. Now as I have noticed the people of the north associate with us many preconceived ideas and sort of glamor of romance is cast about us in their minds which we will have to live up to or dsappoint them. It seems hard
