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

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on q
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loOSens so it can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs 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 to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get a small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-adv.

That fully So. to 80 per cent of the
corn acreage in South Mississippi this
spring is planted now with velvet
beans as the supporting legume crop
is the report of j. E. Ruff, agent for
the United States department Of ag-
riculture Another significant fact
given out by Mr.. Ruff is that the cot
ton acreage in the district has been
cut fully 20 per cent below that of
1857, which was well below the nor
NAL, and the corn and potato acreage
was correspondingly increased. The
general tendency has been to use ev-
cry available plot of ground that is at
all tillable, for growing food crops,
and in consequence the area Of recent
ly cut pine land which has been
brought to the pillow point is largely
increased.

Many Watts Used In Tick Fight.


DR.. ]. A. Barger, United. States veter
marian and Inspector in charge of the
federal forces engaged in enforcing
the quarantine against the tick infest-
ed areas in Mississippi, under the d.
rection OF the bureau of animal indus
try, has compiled some interesting
Gaia showing the work done during
the month of April. In the 20 counties
which were under quarantine restric-
tions at the beginning of this year and
where the eradication of the tick was
not begun until after the compulsory
statewide law was enforced, 1855 watts
were built In addition to those in 9TH
er counties, built and operated prior
to this year.
This work has been under the SUI
pervision of 400 officers, duly and reg
ularly commissioned as county, dis
trict and local inspectors, under whose
direction and oversight 1883 herds
and $685. head of cattle were dipped.
1t is estimated that during the year
now under way not less than 80 tons
of sal soda and so tons Of caustic soda,
which enter into the dip solution, will
be used, and it now seems assured
that by the end Of the year 1917 the
State of Mississippi will be entirely
tick free, and quarantine restrictions
removed.

Makes Record Growing Corn.

A record for corn growing In 1915
that can be equaled by very few farm
ers in Mississippi or the entire south
is revealed by the recent report Of
Chesley Grant of Pontotoc, member.
of the boys corn club of Pontotoc
county, to G. A. Cobb, assistant state
agent in charge of the boys club
work. On one acre of ground Chesley
grew 80 bushels of corn at cost OF
less than 10 cents a bushel, without
the use of fertilizers or manure, be-
sidesc raising more than $95 worth OF
clover seed before the corn was
planted.

Dry Goods Store Loses Big Suit.

Dry GOODS store Loses Big Suit.
The most interesting case handed
down in the supreme court, division
B, was that of the Valley Dry Goods
company against Olive Buford, case
terest in Vicksburg, owing to the
prominence of the parties and the
standing of the firm by which the
young woman was employed. Miss
Buford was a clerk in the store at
a time when the cash accounts would
not balance with the sales slips she
and other employees were held under
suspicion and detectives placed at
work behind these employees. Miss
Buford was ultimately charged with
irregularity. Third degree methods
were employed and self-incrminating
statements were drawn from several
of the suspected ones.
The experience was especially hui
initiating to Miss Buford, who after
ward, through her attorneys, brought
suit for damages through alleged SLAM
derous and exacting methods. In the
trial court in Warren county she Sc
cured a judgment against the Valley
Dry Goods company for $4,000. The
court held that there was no reversi-
BILE error in the procedure or the in
structions and that the alleged self
discriminating statement upon which
the defense rested it's case strongly
was in the nature Of a privileged
statement.

ZBYSZKO-LEWIS
 MEETING TONIGHT

New York, Dec. 17-The final week of the catch as catch can. wrestling tournament at the Lexington theatre begins tonight with only two com petitors boasting a clean score. Strangler Lewis has won every bout in which he has taken part, most Of them through the medium of his dreaded head lock. Wladek Zbyszko has not been beaten although he was held to draw of 20 minutes by Yussif Hussane.
 There is no doubt that the Pole can beat Hussane ifr a finish match, and there is small question that Lewis and Zbyszko will be the contestants in the final match next Saturday night. Earl Coddack, who certainly is the equal of Lewis or the Pole, will not be able to compete at the finish as his furlough has expired. AS Stecher also will not compete two of the leading grapplers in the country will be missing from what is sched- uled as a title tournament. The championship title therefore is not at stake in the present tourney, and the interest in the present weeks maSc-es amounts almost to nil. Caddock beat Stecher and claimed title on that per- formance, but Lewis has beaten John Olin, who made Stecher quit, and that puts Lewis on an even basis with the farmer boy.
