That Louisiana will do her full
share toward the Liberty Loan is
indicated strongly in reports re-
ceived the last few days by the
state Liberty Loan Committee rep
resenting the American Bankers
Association. Campaign leaders
over the entire state seem hope
full that the allotment to Louisl-
ana will be Oversubscribed. This
will serve as a lasting advertise
ment to the state, and will indi-
cate a spirit OF patriotism that will
put Louisiana in the front rank
with the greatest states in the
Union.
The Liberty Loan Committee is
being assisted by prominent state
officers in the fotation of the loan
within the state lines. Among
those taking a leading and active
part in the work of enlightenlng
the people on the subject of the
war loan is r. n. Sims, State Bank
Examiner. who will tour a see
ton of the State. Another is
Harry d. Wilson. commissioner
of Agriculture. Others will be
announced later.
Governor Pleasant, himself, is
serving the cause. The mayors
of the larger cities in Louisiana,
likewise are giving freely of their
time in advancing the great finan-
cial issue which is so essential in
the preservation of our country.
These officers Of the state and nut
nlcipal governments, together
with the bankers and trust coruo-
ration heads, fully appreciate the
fact that the time for harranging
in the highways has passed. They
realize the hour for mems work
has struck and every effort is now
being made to put Louisiana in
the front rank of the states
answering the call of Uncle Sam.
The people of the state have I'M
til June 18th to subscribe to the
Liberty Loan. Ut is optional with
them to subscribe just as large
a sum as they feel they can con
veniently give the government in
this gilt-edge investment which
will pay no less than 3 - per cent
and which will be convertible. The
lowest amount that can be sub
scribed is Fifty Dollars. That
sum is within the reach Of every
salaried man and wage Garner in
the State Of Louisiana.
The banner subscription to date
is that of J. A. Bentley, Presiden,
of the First National Bank Of
Alexandria who has invested
$25O,OOO, in the Liberty Loan
Just a quarter of a million dol

Cincinnati man tells how to shrive
up corns or calluses so they
lift off with fingers.

Ouch ! 2 ! 7 ! /! This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town ii
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that few drops
of drug called freezone when applied
to tender, aching corn or hardened cal
fus stops soreness at once, and soon the
corn or callus dries up and lifts right
off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never inflames 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 callus from
ones feet. Millions of American women
will welcome this announcement since
the inauguration of the high heels. If
your druggist doesn't have freezone tell
him to order small bottle for you.
