BIG INTEREST SHOWN
IN THE SOCIAL CENSUS
REPLIES TO LETTERS ARE CON-
ING FROM EVERY CORNER
OF WILLIAMS COUNTY

Returns from the letters sent out
last week in the interest of the So
cial Survey of Williams County are
coming in fast and indicate that there
is already a lively interest reused in
the development of this work. The
replies are from people in all profess
sions, religious denominations and in
all lines of business. This is as it
should be, for only, by whole-heart-
ed response from every one in the
county can the facts gathered be of
true value as knowledge when COM
piled for public benefit.
In the good old days of the coun-
try singing school and the husking
bee, when every farmer knew every
other farmer for miles around, it
was an easy matter to get the resi-
dents of rural community togeth-
er for social times, for mutual bene-
fit organizations or for school enter
tainments. In those days social class
es were much less sharply divided.
There were fewer nationalities and
people were fairly we'll to do.
But at the present time conditions
are cutie different Amos and Josiah
and Lizzie Ann have drifted into the
city-one to become a bank presi-
dent, the other manufacturer, while
Lizzie Ann is school teacher in a
ward school. The country has re-
ceived it's share of the great influx of
foreigners from over the seas. People
from northern and central Europe
have settled the western lands and
are becoming the pioneers of the fu-
ture. In parts of New England peo-
pie from the southern parts Of Eur
ope have taken up truck farming. In
many school districts in the Middle
West one may find as many as ten

How to loosen a tender corn

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;

Tor corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that few drops of n drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries Mt once and simply
shrivels 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 callus from ones feet.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell Him to get small
bottle of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

"Alcohol Is subversive of discipline,
