Cincinnati Man Tells How to Shrivel
UP Corns or Callouses So They
Lift Off With Fingers.

Ouch I! ?! This kind of
rough talk will be heard less here in
town if people troubled with corns
will follow the simple advice of this
Cincinnati authority, who claims that
a few drops of drug called Freezone
when applied to "a tender, aching
corn or hardened callous stops sore
ness at once, and soon the corn or
callous dries up and lifts right off
without pain.
He says Freezone dries Immediately
and never inflames or even irritates
the surrounding skin. A small bot
tie of Freezone will cost very little
at any drug store, but will positively
remove hard or soft corns or callous
from ones feet. Millions of Ameri-
can women will welcome this an
nouncement since Inauguration of the
high heels. If your druggist doesn't
have Freezone tell him to order a
small bottle for you. (adv)

i
AS has been known of the profess
sion and registrars, Special Agents of
the U. s. Census Department have
spent the last three months in the Of
fees of the State Board of Health in
vestigating the birth returns of the
Bureau of Vital Statistics in order
to ascertain whether or not Ken
| lucky was entitled to admission into
the recently established federal reg
istration area for births, as was done
for deaths the year after the law on
this subject was passed.
The investigation was most COM
prehensive and far-reaching one in
quiries was sent to all clergymen,
postmasters, rural route carriers and
women's clubs in the State as to ev-
cry birth coming to their knowledge
within selected periods and each
name thus obtained was checked
against the original birth certificates
of physicians and midwives on the
permanent files of our Bureau of Vital
Statistics.
AS the result of this careful and
painstaking investigation, the State
Board of Health has been formally
notified that Kentucky is admitted
into the registration area. This
honor will be the more appreciated
by our profession and people when
it is known that, including Virginia,
very properly admitted with Ken
lucky to represent the South, only
seven States are now embraced in the
Federal birth area.
In comforting this honor upon our
State, the Director of the Census
paid a high compliment to those
charged with the administration of
our law and especially to the eff
cheney of our medical organization
and the faithfulness of the rank and
file of our registrars. In striking
contrast with this high praise the
Director voiced one note of severe
criticism. This was the marring of
the value of both birth and death re-
turns from the entire State, caused
by failure of a few dactors to make
their reports to the local registrars
within ten days fixed by the law.
AS an outcome of this criticism, it
has been determined to promptly
bring all such violations of the law
to the attention of the courts.
There has never before been a time
in the history of this country when
the facts recorded by vital statistics
authorities were so important as now,
in the face of the difficulties many
young men encounter in showing
their exact age under the selective
draft law. With the cooperation of
parents, and especially of mothers, to
see that the property and other rights
Of every child born to them are safe
guarded by the prompt certifcation
of its correct maine and of the facts
of its birth and parentage are made
matters of permanent official record
by the county, the State and the
nation, as the law provides, and as
every physician and registrar is paid
to do, no such difficulties can occur
hereafter.
Upon receipt of the official Motif
cation of admission to the privilege
and honor of Federal registration,
the State Board of Health at once put
large force of clerks at work max
ing transcripts of all birth certifi-
Gates for the present year, and here.
after all such certificates will become
a part of the official records of the
National Government.

That able-bodied men now engaged
in the service of the Postofice de-
partment may be relieved for war
duty is forecasted in report from
the department that the rural free
delivery system is to undergo radical
changes. 1t is understood that on a
number of routes where the roads are
not being kept up as they; should be
the Government is going to abolish
rural free delivery altogether, giving
the carriers on those routes an OPP
portunity to enlist and serve their
country at the front.
1t is also understood that in some
instances roads are being improved
so rapidly that it is now possible to
combine two routes, one carrier in an
auto covering what it formerly re-
quired two to get over. AS the roads
become better it is possible to make
more mileage, and, naturally, small
er number of carriers will be re-
quired.
1t is not expected that when the
the system Bourbon county will suf-
fer, as we have some of the finest
and the best-kept turnpikes in the
State. We would regret to see even
one farmer lose the benefits that
come with rural free delivery merely
because someone has been lax in their
duty and permitted the road leading
to the farmhouse to get in bad condi-
ton. There is not road in this
county over which it is hard for a
carrier to make his daily rounds,
winter or summer. 1t is impossible
that the order will in any way affect
Bourbon county, because we have
good roads and good carrier service,
mad Uncle Sam is always treated hon
estly and the patrons Of the routes
have nothing to complain of.
For many years past, since the
abandonment of the tollgate system,
the work of improving the county
highways has gone on and forward
steadily until now there isn't
county in the State that has roads
any better than those of Bourbon. 1t
has been a matter of pride passed
along from one road engineer to an
other, from one County Judge to an
other. from one Fiscal Court to an
other, to keep the turnpikes in the
best possible condition, and right
we'll have they succeeded.

They Have Made Good.

The city boys who went to the
farms last spring have made good
There may have been individual in
stances of failure, of course; indi-
viduals have always failed. But
taken as whole the city boys, Sc
the farmers report, have done well
and the farmers have been converted
The farmers didn't think much OF
the city boys in the beginning. In
fact, there was so much prejudice
against them that many farmers re,
fused to try an experiment. They
claimed it would be more trouble to
train the city boy than his services
would be worth. They said the city
boy would not be able to stand the
hard work. They thought the city
boy could never get used to getting
up at daylight in the morning-and
a lot of other things along the same
lines. But they didn't stop to con-
slider that the city boy was used to
Just that very thing.
Well, the city boys have withstood
the hard toll. They easily learned
to do the work. And they have not
complained of the long hours. Most
of the farmers who have given them
chance are eager to make arrange
ments. for the employment of city
boys next summer, if any of them are
left after the Bourbon county ex-
emption- board gets through with
them.
The truth of the matter is there
isn't much difference after all be-
tween the city boy and the country
boy-they are all boys. And a boy
is the greatest piece of machinery
in the world, so far as adaptability is
concerned. The country boy can
learn the banking business and the
city boy can learn the dairy bust
ness-and both will make good in a
majority of cases.
But the city boys have gotten more
out of the experience on the farm
than the farmers have gotten from
them, however great the service rem
dered may have been. One season on
the farm will do more for the city
ssr than a course in a university.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

Whereas: Waldo County Pomona
Grange and it's associations have been
called to part with a devoted and much
honored member, Bro. D. O. Bowen, who
for forty-two years championed and adj
vocated the grange cause and served in
nearly every branch of our beloved Or
der, as assistant steward of the Maine
State Grange for six years, as member
of the executive committee of the same
for two years, as a county deputy for ten
wears, as master of the old Waldo County
mona, and as master of his own subordi-
nate grange for fifteen years, his "voice
and vote" was always used to promote
the welfare of the order, without fear,
favor, or personal bias, and
Whereas: What we call death has
stilled that voice to our mortal ears, yet
the uplifting influence of that life still
lives in the memory of all who have been
associated with him; therefore, be it
Resolved, That in the passing of Broth
er Bowen, Waldo Comfy Pomona Grange
has lost an honored member, his family a
wise counsellor, loving father and de-
voted husband, and,
Be it further resolved, That we emu
late his virtues and cherish his memory,
and extend our fraternal and heartfelt
sympathy to his family, and commend
them to the Advise Father who doeth all
things well.
Resolved, That copy of these resolu-
lions be sent to the sorrowing widow,
another to the local papers, and another

Collecting Peace Dates.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. Systematic
collection of economic, historical, political
and other information on European con-
ditions to be used eventually in peace
negotiations was discussed today by
Colonel E. M. House with President Will
son, Secretary Lansing and other govern
ment officials. Walter Lippman, New
York magazine editor, until recently vol
unteer assistant to Secretary Baker, is
one of the assistants Colonel House has
chosen to assist him, it became known
today, and is devoting his time especially
to mapping out preliminary plan for
collecting data under well defined heads.
We hope that the above is not true
An editor and an unknown quantity from
Texas chosen to prepare data to be used
when the great diplomats of the nations
assemble to settle stupendous world prob
lens is pitiful and at the same time a
ridiculous blunder. Return oh shades OF
all departed American satirists and say
something fitting and adequate. An op-
portunity like this seldom occurs.

THE GRAIN CROPS OF MAINE.

The national department of agriculture
has sent out statistics of the grain crop
in Maine for 1916. In that year 5000
acres of wheat were grown and the aver
age yield per acre was 81 bushels. Few
States can show so high an average.
Kansas is great wheat growing State,
but it's average per acre was only IL BUSH
els. We also raised 6,12O, 900 bushels of
oats, an average of Sc bushels to every
acre sown, and only ten States exceeded
our average. We harvested $4,000 acres
of corn, the average per acre being 43
bushels. New Hampshire is the only
State whose average per acre was great
er than ours, while in Connecticut and
Vermont the average was about the
same as ours. New England holds the
blue ribbon for the intensive production
of corn. No State in the Union raised
so much buckwheat per acre as did
Maine. There were $4,000 acres and "a
bu shells per acre were produced. Our
barley crop was worth S162,00O and the
value of all the above mentioned crops
was little more than SIS, 100000.

NAMES EMERGENCY FOOD
AGENTS BEGIN WORK

Five women trained in Home Econom-
les have begun work in Maine as Emer-
gency Food Agents for the duration Of
the war. They are employed by the Fed
eral Government and the State of Maine
and will work under the direction of the
Agricultural Extension Service, Univer-
sity of Maine. The work is to be State
wide and later three more women will be
appointed to work in the other five coun-
ties of the State.
Miss Catharine N. Platts, in charge of
Home Economics Extension work in
Maine, will have direct supervision of
their activities. These agents will give
lectures and demonstrations free of ex-
pense to organizations which apply for
them on such subjects as ''The Planning
of Meals" "Watching the Waste"
Good Values" "War Breads and How
to Make Them" and especially on the
conservation of foods such as wheat,
sugar, fats, etc. They are to help the
women Of Maine to save the staple food
stuffs that we may be able to send ample
supplies to our boys in Europe and to our
Allies They will be ready at any time
to give advice by letter, telephone, or to
anyone who can call at the office. Some
of the other States have had Women
County Agents for several years doing
Just the type of work outlined above and
everywhere it has been an unqualified
success. During the war all the States
will employ Emergency Food Agents.
Miss Ruby May Barker of Houlton, a
graduate of Mason Institute, and former
teacher of Home Economics in Houlton
High school, will work in Somerset, Wal
do and Knox counties, with headquarters
at Pittsfield All those who have been
appointed are natives of Maine.
By cooperation with this practical
movement our people can not only aid in
carrying on the war, but will be able to
learn how to live more economically af-
ter the war is over

Children Cry
FOR FLETCHER'S
CA 8 TO
KEEP POLITICS OUT OF PENSIONS

Congressman Harold Knutson of Min
nesota, with his usual keen insight into
legislative matters, sees great danger in
placing the administration of the soldiers
pension and insurance bill in the hands of
the Secretary of the Treasury. To his
mind it would make that official $50
strong politically as to overshadow Con-
gress and every other department OF the
Government 1t is not good policy to
put power in the hands of politically
appointed official to allow or deny claims
for pension according to how he may
choose to interpret the claimants applica-
ton. Mr.. Knutson believes that the mat
ter of pensions should be placed under
the jurisdiction of the present Pension
Bureau, where a force of specially train
ed clerks is available to administer the
will of Congress accurately and with JUS
tice.
