Style decrees that women wear hish-heel footwear, which buckles up the toes, producing painful corns; then many women cut at these pests, which is a most dangerous proceeding tion or an awful death from lockjaw.
 For little cost there can be obtained. from any pharmacy a harmless drug called Freezone. A quarter ounce of this is sufficient to remove every soft or hard corn or callus from ones feet. A few drops applied directly upon tender, aching corn relieves the sore ness at once and soon the entire corn, root and all, can be lifted right out without pain.

Dormitory at College.


 The trustees of Connecticut college have authorized the construction of a three -story frame house, to be used this year as a dormitory and in later years as a residence for the president Plans have been accepted and bids for the construction will be received at the architects office until noon on Monday, June 25, and will be opened as soon as possible after that time by the executive committee.
 The house will provide quarters for 15 students, a house fellow and a maid and will be so constructed that it may be readily adapted a single family residence or faculty house. The lower floor will contain five large rooms and bath with showers, which during the coming year will be used as two double rooms for students, a living room and bedroom for the study, and necessary pantries. All piping necessary for the change will be installed when the house is con structed, obviating any later difficult ty.
 Four large double rooms and a bath will be provided on the seco<I floor and there will be three sing le rooms on the third floor.
 The basement will be equipped with a heating apparatus and laundry. The students residing there will take their meals at the college refectory in Thames hall, where the entire student body is served. The building will be of wooden construction, shingled and of colonial type with a columned en- trance, similar to that of the Winthrop house, the most recently constructed dornitory. The site has not yet been definitely selected but according to present plans the building will be erected on Mohegan avenue. north of the residence of Prof. Raymond Os- burn.

A Crop For Land Still Implanted.

The farmers having land which is not yet planted still have an oppor- tunity to make it productive by plant ing buckwheat. The crop gives oppor- tunity to grow a fair amount of grain on land where early sown crops have failed, or it has been impossible for some reason to put in a crop as yet
 Land not fertile enough for aDrn will grow buckwheat nicely-yields rang ing from 15 to 25 bushels per acre may be expected. On run out land 600 pounds of (3-10-0) fertilizer per acre should be applied-on good land a fair crop may be expected without fer tilizer. It does not fit into dairy farm operations well because seeding con- hicts with early having and cultivat- ing, while harvesting conflicts with silo filling. Many farmers, especially

ing In.
 A boy or girl who is familiar with business fundamentals and who is also competent to care for live stock suc- cessfuIIy, is on the road toward a, pleasant and profitable life on the farm. The pig club is one of the means for so preparing the young folks of the state.
 The business instinct is trained through the fact that all the pig club members are required to keep accu- rate records and render complete re- ports on the work. There is an ex- cellent chance for profit in the club work and a few dollars reward for the further productive labor. Last year the average profit in the state of Mas Sachusetts, after paying for feed and care, was $6.56 and should be higher this year, for although the cost of feed has incheased markedly, the price of meat has more than doubled. There is no doubt that the boys and girls purchasing a pig at this time will make money on their investment.
 The pig club work is directly under the supervision of a man trained in the handling of swine and he will teach the boys and girls all that he knows concerning the best methods of raising pigs. Beside the money made V5 clubs will receive a free course in swine husbandry which should be of value to every one of them.
 The feeding of a pig in most cases is an economical proposition, because of the possibility it gives for the utiI- izatiOn of garbage. According to J. A Simms, pig club agent of the Ex- tension Service, it is possible at the present prices of pork to produce $40 to $50 worth of meat at very little cost except for the time spent by the boy or girl, and the garbage fed.
 Garbage utilization is especially i'm portant this year because of the neces- sity for turning every possible bit off waste into some form available for human consumption.
 The importance of the pig club work to the state is made apparent through a study of the facts presented by MT. Simms. According to figures given out by him, the increase of swine in the United States in the period from 1910 to 1917 has been 15 per cent Tn the portions of the United States where pig club work has been insti-

Invaders, Failing in Purpose of Asiago
Battle, Cease Attacks,

ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS
IN NORTHERN ITALY, Dec l0-The
battle of Asiago virtually is suspended
with the enemy checked, if not defeated,
in his main design OF breaking through to
the Brenta valley and the plain a few
miles below, although he had succeeded
in advancing his line a short distance
when the Italians fell back 10 new posi-
tons
These positions guarding the Frenzcla
and Gadena passes have successfully re
sisted all enemy efforts and the Italians
on the steep heights on each side OF the
passes rain down artillery and rifle fire
and release huge boulders every time the
enemy try to get through.
This has continued until the Italians
seem reasonably assured OF holding the
passes and compelling the enemy to look
for another line of approach.
An exceptionally large air raid was
carried out Friday with fleet OF 80
alrplanes including Italian light and
heavy squadrons. The huge fleet flew low,
scattering more than 1000 bombs which
caused extensive damage in the northern
sector where the enemy is assembling
forces and supplies. Troop trains were
shattered, railway depots destroyed and
munition supplies blown up Large fires
marked the route Of the raiders indicat-
