sweet potatoes, none spoiled, as they

THE HOME GARDEN TO BE WORK.
Ed BY THE HOME FOLKS

The president has asked the Amer
lean farmer to increase the amount
of food available for shipment to our
allies in Europe. The supplying of
food is the great part of what the
allied nations are asking of the United
States at this time. The boosted fer
tility of our soils is about to be put to
the test.
Before we can furnish food for ship
ment we must produce enough for our
own people. 1t is easily understood
that the greater part Of the average
harvest goes to feed our own people
in the cities and towns. The people
in these cities and towns are request
ed to give additional attention to the
home garden so as to produce as much
as possible of the foods necessary to
feed the family. There is one point
here which we must bear in mind, and
that is that the work in this same gar
den be performed as far as possible
By members OF the family, and not
all hired, thereby taking labor which
would otherwise be used in prOduc-
ton on a larger scale than the home
garden. II the work is done by mem
beers Of the family who would other
wise produce nothing to help out the
food situation there will be a net gain
but if labor otherwise available for
production under field conditions is
used there will be a net loss. The
home garden worked by the home
folks is what is wanted
Again. we should turn our attention
to the production of more poultry.
have letters from the department call
ing attention to the fact that the sup
ply of laying hens is ths smallest in
years. due to the high price of feeds.
We look for - cent eggs this year,
and it behooves everyone so situated
that it is feasible to raise some chick
ems. There is a point beyond which
it is not profitable to increase your
flock but the average family in Ma
rion county can easily double the
amount of poultry kept.
These two things kept in mind and
worked at properly will help material
ly to make Marion county leave the
food usually shipped into the country
available to feed the soldiers.

Ouch 2! -? -? This kind Of
rough talk will be heard less here in

Cincinnati authority, who claims that
few drops of drug called freezone
when applied to tender, aching corn
or hardened callous stops soreness at
once, and soon the corn or callous
dries up and lifts right off without
pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never infames or even irritates
the surrounding skin. A small bottle
of freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callous
from ones feet. Millions of Ameri-
can women will welcome this an
nouncement since the Inauguration Of
