YES! LIFT A CORN
 OFF WITHOUT PAIN
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry up corn or cailus so it lifts
 off with fingers.

You corn-pestercd men and women need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati authority, because few drops of freezone applied directly on a tender, aching corn or callus, stops sore. ness at once and soon the corn or hardened callus loosens so it can be lifted out, root and all, without pain.
 A small bottle of freezone cost very little at any drug store, but will posi- lively take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried AS it is inexpensive and is said not tc irritate the surrounding skin.
 If your druggist hasn't any freezone tell him to get small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house. It IS fine stuff and acts like charm every time.

 Sufficient to Protect Border.

Columbus, NM, Jan 17,-Ben. Fred erick Funston here today said the menace of border raids has been re- duced to such an extent that the regu- lar forces now are sufficient for pro, tectiye purposes.
 Our frontier is pretty we'll cleaned up now he said, "and for the pres ent We do not look for any more raids across our line.

The people Of Little River county do not feel dismayed, neither do they feel dishcnored in reviewing the long re- cord of convictions by our recent court Rather we have cause for con- graduation that the law has proven ample and supreme to avenge itself upon the guilty. The thing to regres is the fact that there had been a crime wave to punish. The knowl- edge that punishment will follow crime has been emphasized Should our courts fail us, then, indeed would we have cause to apologize to the world Law enforcement and the rais- ing of the standard of citizenship is the hope of any country. There should be no bubble or evasion about either of these propositions. If Little River county suffered to any extent from the fact that it had some bad crimes com mitted within it's borders, it has more than balanced that off the beck by a prompt application of the extreme penalty This is the final test of a law abiding community. We will prescribe and recommend the same remedy to any other county that may happen to- need it, or have the courage to apply

The news comes from various points over the state where the profitable Farming Campaign is being waged, that record crowds are wading through the snow and packing the houses. We face the real thing. You will likely see flour at $15 a barrel in a few weeks. Other food products are advancing in like proportion; feed is going out of sight. What are you go- ing to do about it? Get together, list en to these men, for they will suggest things that will help you. We cant afford to fail to play the thing safe in 1917. It is a ground-hog case and all the light we can get will do us no harm. Our county campaign is Mon day. Attend the point nearest to you, even though it be raining in sheets.

HOT SPRINGS WOMEN
 ENDORSE EMORY BILL.
Appeal to People oi State to Keep Be. hind it and Urge It's Passage by
 Fhe General assembly.

The lSchool Improvement Associa- tions and City Federal on of Women's Clubs oF Hos Springs are working for the pasaagc of the Emory text book bill. Thoy send the endorsement in an appeal to the women Of the state for united effort in it's behalf:
 We are pleased to realize that Ar kansas has Nocd increased taxation for school purposes. This tax justifes the people in the hope of speedy uni fcrm'ty along educational lines; but increased revenues does not justify in- creased or unnecessary expenditures.
 We cannot begin too soon to study Cur needs, and spend wisely. Arkan- sas ranks fer'y-second in ill-teracy. How can we most quickly remedy this evil, By placing the means of educa- tion in the hands of all school age.
 We have free schools, but not free text t-books-indeed Arkansas pays more than twice the price paid by ether states for their tex books.
 "Calfornia, Kansas and Colorado distribute school books. free of charge, to a pupils. To supply the constantly changing text t-boclzs has become @ burden to most and an impossibility to many parents, so we bespeak for the bill providing for state publication, uniformity and free distribution cf books, the unanimous support of the people of the state. At least it should he given careful reading and honest consideration.
 "No time should 5e lost in getting behind this movement, as the bill has been up for the second reading, and been TO erred to the Committee on Ed, ucation. where it VII possible finger and tc lost unless the parents and oth- CT people of the state who are vi.ally interested in this bill keep right after the committee and see that it gets the at ention needed and that our repres enta ives in the house and Senate are urged to vote for Emory's bill when it comes up for final reading. The chief points of the bill are as follows: Ut provides for the state publica ton of all elementary textbooks; for strict uniform use of such books in the ementary schcels of the state and that three-fourths of the child ren's time shall be devoted to the study and recitation of the elementary studies, such as reading, spelling, writing, arithmetic, grammar history and geography.
 "The passage of this bill means the elimination of the book trusts eff the $ ate: it means the bringing into the public schools of our state thousands of children whose parents are too poor to buy books fr them; it means aa advance along educational lines which VII give cur state the biggest boost i: ever had.
 Less than 30O,O00 children were en- rolled in our public schools last year and the parents of these children spent more than $5OO,OOO for their Looks, whereas California publishes Ter own textbooks and last year her enrolment was 423000, and she fur nshed her children all their text books free which only cost the sta-e S200,O00 Or less than 50 cents per child

The snow was disagreeable but will be of great benefit to the land. We like to boast of the lack of Wintry weather in this southern cline, but when we are favored with a taste of winter we profit from it. It is soon gone, and the children sure enjoy the novelty while it last. Even Editor Old of Idabel, who had forgotten to bring in wood for his wife, completed the job in time to enjoy an ample sui ficiency of spareribs and backbones as a reward. The moral: Let Ter snow"

A LIVELY TIME.

There was a lively fracus in the
Shops section of the city last Sat-
urday morning. Two colored fe-
males of that section had already
chad some words about the chillun"
and Saturday morning they ceased
to write "notes" and got down to
the cold steel argument. The chill
dren of Cora Allen were accused of
throwing rocks at the legitimate
offspring of Willie Adams, and vice
versa, and the matter reached the
settlement stage Saturday morning,
when a general fight followed a
heated argument in which about
twenty-five women in the neighbor-
hood engaged. Four doctors had to
be called in to sew up the wounds.
Three or four women on each side
of the battle received ugly knife
wounds, while others had their
heads pecked up with rocks. The
matter will be fully aired in police
court on Thursday morning when
all parties are to be tried for dis
orderly conduct, fighting, and other
high crimes and misdemeanors.

OATH OF OFFICE
First Chief il. s..Sworn ~ the Consti-.,
tutional President.

Mexico City, May 5.-Venustiano
Carranza last week took the oath Of
office as the first constitutional pres
ident of Mexico since the assassina-
ton of Francisco Madero on Febru-
Fary 23rd, 1913, back by majority
of nearly 100000 votes given him
by the Mexican people at the March
elections. President CarranZa drove
from the national palace to the
chamber of deputies and swore to up
hold the new constitution.
President Caranza left the presi-
Dental gate at the palace at 5 o'clock
in an open carriage. Seated beside
him was Gen. Obregon, minister Of
war in the provisional cabinet and
the man who more than any other is
credited with enabling the president
to weather the storms Of the last four
years. The carriage was escorted by
the survivors Of the signers Of the:
plan of Guadeloupe, which formed
the basis of the revolutionary scheme
The streets were lined by double
ranks of soldiers who presented arms
as the carriage passed. Az the
chamber of deputies President Car
rama was received by a committee
of congressman who led him to the
rostrum, where the president Of the
chamber administered the oath. The
ceremony was extremely simple, con-,
sisting of the reading Of the oath
and Gen. Caranza's reply, "I swear
it." The president then returned to
the palace. The United States Am
bassador Fletcher, as ranking mem
Der of the diplomatic corps, offered
the president the congratulations OF
foreign nations on Mexico's return
to constitutional government.

SUGAR CANE SIRUP.
Detailed Discussion of Problems AT.
fecting This Industry in New
Government Publication.

Washington, D. c., May Tine
culture Of sugar cane for sirup pro-
duction is essentially a small farm
industry. Limited areas only are de-
voted to it on each farm, but never
theless cane sirup is an important
article of food and a source of con-
iderable income to the farmers of
the Gulf. States. That the yields
could be considerably increased,
however, is pointed out in Depart
ment Bulletin 486, new publica-
ton of the United States Department
Of Agriculture.
The cost of producing sirup on
two south Georgia farms under the
conditions which prevailed in 1914
indicated that at that time the price
of sugar-cane sirup in bulk must be
over twenty-three cents a gallon to
allow the producer a profit. How
ever, production costs have increas'
ed slightly since that date: In re-
cent years the price of sirup in the
general market has fluctuated wide
|ly. In the fall of 1914 it was nor.
mally low; year later it advanced
sharply to 40 cents per gallon and
more, and recent advances in the
price of sugar have been followed
by Higher prices for sirup.
| The margin between cost of pro,
duction and the market price can be
supplemented, the bulletin points
out, by a better utilization of the
|by-products. Of these there are
three: (1) The leaves and tops, ~
the bagasse (pomace or mash,) and
|'(3) the skimmings. With the prac'
tices prevailing at present very lit
tie use is made of any of the three.
When fresh, the tops of the cane
weigh approximately from 8 to 4
tons an acre. If left exposed, this
material soon becomes worthless
for feed Recent experiments, how
ever, have shown that the tops may
be sliced successfully and that in
nutritive value silage of this charac'
ter is not greatly inferior to silage
from whole corn. Moreover, ir
most Of the cane sirup sections there
lis a shortage of available roughage
for winter feeding, thus giving 6
value to such silage above that rep
resented by its nutritive constitl'
ents, and the additional manure re-
sulting from feeding these tops il

LIQUOR PERMITS
Judge Miller Not Troubled Much
With Applications.

When asked yesterday as to the
number of whiskey permits issued
since the quart-a-month law went
into effect week ago, Judge
Miller state that he had issued
only six, less than an average Of one
a day. In view of the fact that no
whiskey is permitted to be shipped
into this state without a permit, it
is thought that the past week has
been the nearest to prohibition in
this county for many years past.
In the course of conversation
Judge Miller stated that the wrong
impression was in the minds of some
as to charges and other regulations
pertaining to the issue of permits
and in this connection he issued the
following statement:
Notwithstanding the fact the

the law to charge IS cents for tax.
