was at a standstill.
The first service was held June "a,
Rev. DR.. r. T. Vann, secretary of
the Baptist board of education,
preaching the opening sermon. From
that date a series Of meetings began
which closed Wednesday night Of last

The old frame structure where this
congregation formerly worshipped
stands hard by the new building, and
it is the parent of all the churches
at Red Springs. From it went out
the Methodists and Presbyterians and
Episcopalians and built frame struc-

while the Baptists still worshippec
at the old place. But when the Bap.

ASSURES KANSAS FARMERS
President Waters Says Present Whea,
Prices Will Remain Without Any
Change Until Next July.

Assurance that the wheat price sci
by federal price fixing authorities
would be stationary, at least until July
1, 1919, is given in letter from Henry
J. Waters, president OF the Kansas
agricultural college and member OF
the federal board On price fixing. The
letter was written to W. c. Simons of
Lawrence.
In his letter President Waters states:
You ask if the government price of
wheat is to continue throughout the
year. and in response beg to say that
/ raised that question and was posi-
lively assured by Mr.. Hoover and by
julius H. Barnes, head of the United
States grain corporation, that this
price would be in effect until July /,
1918, regardless of whether we are at
peace or at war. Arrangements have
been made, they assured me. whereby
this price could be maintained without
an appropriation by congress or any
additional expense to the people of
the country.
You understand that July I, 1918,
the minimum price of 50 a bushel es-
tablished by congress, goes into effect
and continues until July 1, 1919. Thus,
the farmer is assured of the govern
ment price for the crop which he
raised this year and is assured of at
least 81 a bushel for the crop which
he will raise next year.

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen q tender corn
or caIIus so 1t lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter /;
wear shoes a size smaller if you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks Of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops of a drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
Heves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shriveis up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle Of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft. corn or calius from ones feet
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get a small
bottle OF freezone for you from his
wholesale drug houSe.-adv.
