Cincinnati Man Tells How to Shrivel
Up Corns or Calluses So They
lift OFF With Fingers.

Ouch This kind of
of rough talk will be heard less here
i'll town if people troubled with corns
will follow the simple advice of this
Cincinnati authority, who claims that
few drops of drug called freezonc
when applied to tender, aching corn
or hardened callus stops soreness at
once, and soon the corn or callus dries
up and lifts right off without pain
He says freczone dries immediate
ly and never inhames or even irritates
the surrounding skin. A small bot
tie of freezone will cost very little
at any drug store, but will positively
remove every hard or soft corn or
callus from ones feet. Millions of
American women will welcome this
announcement since the Inauguration
of the high heels. |; your druggist
doesn't have freezone tell him to or

FRIENDS OF PROHIBITION
WANT A SPECIAL SESSION

Atlanta Ga, Jan 25.-A food OF
letters is pouring into Governor. Har-
ris' office on the subject of calling a
special session Of the legislature for
the purpose of enacting bone dry"
prohibition law against the importa-
ton of any intoxicants of any kind in
% Georgia, pursuant to the recent
decision of the United States supreme
court upholding the Wcbb-Kenyon
'aw, in which it was held that state
has authority under the act to pro-
hibit shipments.
Some Of the letters urge the gov
crnor to call the extra session. while
others advise him to leave the matter
to the incoming Legislature and the in
cogin administration which will take
charge in June.
One of the principal arguments be-
ing used by friends of the governor
who oppose an extra session is to this
effect That he made possible the
present laws by including prohibition
in his call for the extra session OF
1915, and that he can we'll afford to
leave future legislation to the admin
istration Of his successor, Hugh M.
Dorsey

Belfeld Deputy
Sheriff Injured
in Auto Accident

Pete Palunuk, deputy sheriff of Bel
field, was badly injured last Friday
when a Ford which he was driving,
turned turtle just north of South
Heart. His shoulder was dislocatctl
and the ligaments were torn from
his ribs. He was brought to Dickinson
by the Amidon stage driver, where
he was treated and later removed to
his home. Another man who was in
the car with Palunul1 was thrown over
fence but was uninjured. 1t is sup
posed that Palunuk lost control Of the
car and it swerved suddenly into Il
ditch, turning over and throwing the
occupants out. The car belongs to
Sheriff Hartung. One of the wheels
was smashed. Two of the tires were
nlt.ising from the car. Collector Chas.
McGrath found the two inner tubes
some distance from the scene of the
accident but the castings were never
recovered. The sheriff says he knows
darn we'll that the accident was not
of such violence as to completely ex-
terminate those two castings.

WILL GET COMMISSION

Word has been received from Fort
Smelling that Val Koch, who is in
training there for a commission in the
army is passing tests satisfactorily.
In Mr.. Koch's company, when he first
went to the training camp, were 146
men. Since then, 81 have been eX-
cused from further training. A gen
eral inspection examination was held
November 3 and Mr.. Koch received
an average Of 83 per cent out Of a
possible 100. The general average at
tanned by the men was 65, 60 being
necessary to pass. In the shooting
tests, Mr.. Koch scored 209 out Of a
possible 300, the general average of
the company being 164. In the in
terror guard duty test, he scored 81
which was much more than enough
to win out. The finals have been for
warded to Washington and, on Satur-
day, November "a, when the boys will
know their fate, we shall doubtless
see Val here, wearing a happy smile.
Mr.. Koch made an efficient clerk of
court and we feel certain that he will
distinguish himself likewise in the
army.

IDEAL PLACE
FOR SHOPS
IN THISC[TY
RUMOR ABROAD THAT RAILWAY
MAY LOCATE SHOPS HERE.
MANDAN SITE TOO LOW
Drawback to Scheme is Fact That
Employees Own Homes in Man.
dan-Matter Not Decided

Recent rumors have been to the ef-
feet that the Northern Pacific Rail-
way contemplated erecting their new
100000 shops in Dickinson in place
of Mandan, and the enlarging Of the
reservoir was quoted as a partial sub
sanitation of this rumor. Another
reason advanced is that the proposed
site at Mandan is too low, flooding
every year, thus necessitating an
enormous amount of filling work.
Dickinson is ideally located for such
a step but it is hardly thought prob
able that the company is figuring
upon a move Of this kind just at this
time.
When the Mandan shops burned
down about twenty years ago, a
strong effort was made to establish
the shops at Dickinson. While favor
ing this city as a good location, the
company advanced several reasons for
their ultimate decision to rebuild at
that point. The trackage was already
there and there was water in abund-
ance. If the company located at Dick
inson, it would have been necessary to
lay considerable more track than is
here at present. Probably the most
important feature of the drawback
was the fact that many of the en-
ployees had built their own homes In
Mandan and removal to this city
would have worked a hardship on
them. For that reason, particularly,
the company decided to hold Mandan
as the location of their shops.

LEAD STATE IN
Y.M.C.A DRIVE
QUOTAS IN EVERY COUNTY TO
BE OVERSUBSCRIBED-GOLD-
EN VALLEY NOT REPORTED
Dunn County Goes Away Over the Top
and Still Moving. Stark Will
Roll in Heavy List

Returns to date from the several
points in the district indicate that we
are going to top the state in the y.
N. G. A. drive. Though the quota for
this district was set at $4,000 we
voluntarily raised the amount 10
$1,000. That amount has been reached
and passed and still we are bringing
home the bacon.
Reports come slowly, yet we learn
that Dickinson, iii the Iirst three days,
collected $1,000. Dunn county has gal
lopcd over its quota and reported
$500 early in the game. Billings
climbed over its quota of $500 and has
not eased in the running. No report
has been received from Golden Valley
county which did not start work until
the week was half over. However, it
is said that Golden Valley will roll up
more than expected Of it. There are
no slackers in the drive in this dis
trict. Dunn's quota was $17O0; Gold
en- Valley has the same amount to
raise; Billings was set at $500; and
Stark put its quota to $500. Com
mittees have been too busy to report
progress so we will have to wait until
all returns are in. 1t looks, however,
as though we would not be satisfied
with less than $4,000.

0USHED FROM HOTEL
WHEN LOCAL GIRL
FOUND IN HIS ROOM

That mysterious priest or ex-priest,
alleged German spy, gay Lothario
clever publicity agent or what-no.,
again promotes himself in the public
gaze, this time right here in Dickin-
son. We refer to the so-callcd Father
F. x. Hollenberg, Of Richardton, Bel
field, Washington, Austria and any
other country or place that occurs to
the fertile-minded exploiter.
Rumor reached here about two
weeks ago that this man had been
arrested by Federal agents as a spy
but, being considered "off" mentally,
he was dismissed but was kept under
surveillance. He came to Dickinson
Wednesday and registered at local
hotel. In the evening, young girl Of
this city, went to the mans room.
The proprietor of the hotel, learning
of the young girls presence in the
mans ROOM, entered and expelled
both from the house. The ex-priest,
who still wears the robe of the order,
later engaged in conversation with
some local men and mentioned the fact
that he was on his way from Wash
ington to San Francisco, where he was
to serve as chaplain in the Navy.
That his sympathies are toward Germ
any is evidenced by his conversation.
In addition to various diagrams which
he drew, showing how easy it would
be for Germany to force path to
Paris, this queer anomaly. prsaHtetl
that eventually the Central Powers
would be composed of Germany Aus
tria, Bulgaria, Russia, Italy, Greece,
Sweden and Holland while opposed to
them would be America, England,
Norway and Denmark. This glib war
expert apparently figured the COM
plete determination Of France and
Belgium. He left town on No. L.
Upon former visit to Dickinson
Hollenberg claimed to have been priv
ate secretary to the Crown Prince of
Austria; also, served at one time as
tutor to members of the royal family.
Father Dignam said that the man
had been unfrocked by the bishop 4
long time ago when the latter had
reached the conclusion that the man
was crazy.

BOY TRAMP, MIGRATE,
BtTRAYS EMPLOYER

Andrew Caviness, who halls from
Missouri, came here about two weeks
ago on sheep train and applied at
the Cash Market for something to
eat. Charles Peeler, manager Of the
store, took the boy into his own home
and kept him pending an appeal to
the boys widowed mother to send him
TRANSPORTATION. This week, the boy
received letter from his mother en-
closing ten dollars and the statement
that he should come as far as the
money would carry him on the tram
and she would later send him more.
Caviness told Mr.. Peeler that he
would leave at once, so Mr.. Peeler
gave the boy SIS, his son, Elmer, gave
him 25 cents. These sums, with the
$40, made total of $15.25. In ad-
dition, Mrs. Peeler fixed up a nice
lunch for the boy and he left the
house early Wednesday night, saying
he would stay down town until train
time-5:4O in the morning. Mr..
Peeler wanted the boy to stay at the
house, saying he would awaken him
in time for the train but the boy in
sisted on waiting at the depot.
When Mr.. Peeler came to the
store Thursday morning he found that
some one had entered the store
through back window, the screen
having been cut away. The register,
a rather intricate affair, had been
rifed of it's cash contents, $5, which
was always left in the register over
night. Suspicion attaches to Caviness
because the station agent observed
him in the depot counting out the
money, much Of it in pennies as had
been in the register. The agent sold
the boy ticket to st. Cloud and he
left on No. a. Mr.. Peeler notified
Sheriff Hartung, who Immediately
sent wire to the authorities at
jamestown asking them to take Cavi-
ness from the train. They did so and
Sheriff Hartung went after the boy
Friday.
