not more than "A 80 barrel we'll
Having knowledge of just such
false reports is one reason why
the Times refuses to publish

We are very anxious TO give the
oil news, but it seems impossible
10 get the truth about the devel.
opment, so we content ourselves
by reporting very little.

LIFT YOUR CORNS
 OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells How to Loosen a Tender Corn or CalluS So It Lifts Out
 Without Pain.

You reckless men and women who are pestered with corns and who have at least once week invited an awful death from lockjaw or blood poisoning are now told by Cincln- natl authority to use a drug called freezone, which the moment a few drops are applied to any corn or calIus the soreness is relieved and soon the entire corn or callus, root and all, lifts of with the fingers.
 Freezone dries the moment it is applied. and simply shrivels the corn or calIus without inflaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue or skin. A small bottle of freezone will cost very little at any of the drug stores. but will positively rid ones feet of every hard or soft corn or hardened callus. If your druggist hasn't any freezone he can get 1t at any wholesale drug house for you. Adv.

Special to The Star.
 Little Rock, March i6.--L. G. Finch, of i23 Barker street, Hot Springs, secretary of the Mena Cat the Assoication, writes Commission CT Page as follows:
 After due deliberation and dis cussing it among ourselves, the di- rectors of the Mena Cattle Associa- ton have decided to invest S8,000 in tick-immune registered Hereford bulls and distribute them free among the farmers of each neigh borhood turnout the district from which we buy cattle, with the agree ment that they give us first refusal of offspring at same price others will pay.
 Exchanging the bulls widely ev- cry two years, making it neigh borhood affair, and allowing the keeper to make a nominal charge for his trouble. we believe it will profit us, also the farmer and raise the grade of cattle ten times quicker than any other way
 The plan has the approval of Commissioner Page, who is an earn est advocate of raising the standard of Arkansas live stock.
