WAR MONEY COMING
TOO FAST TO SPEND;

The Dupont Companies Income Taxes
Swamp Wisconsin Town;
Cry For Help.

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 2S.-Barks-
dale. wis. a village, which was hap
py and contented three years ago. is
in distress because of the European
war. 1t has too much money.
Berksdale is the location of one of
the plants of the Dupont Powder COM
pany. and the operation of this plant
has made the whole countryside pros
porous When tax paying time came.
however. Barksdale found that the old
DAYS when money was scarce were
better.
In previous years the village board
never had more than S13. 1000 in the
treasury after all taxes had been col
lected. This year the powder COM
pany has paid S11S.0OO in income tax
es alone. and the board has appealed
to the state tax commission for relief.
The president Of the village explains
that they might find ways to spend
the tax this year. but that next year
the company will pay S25O,00O II
things keep going the way they have,
and that prospect has scared the vii
lage board stiff.
The tax commission has advised
the board to keep a stiff upper lip.
and has introduced law in the Wis
consin legislature providing that here
after when village receives more
than 2 per cent Of its assessed valu-
alton in income taxes the money may
be distributed in the county according
to school population.

1t means back to the farm, which
has been an empty cry heretofore;
and not back to the farm to make a
failure, but to make a success. with
the aid of government money with
low rate of interest, scientific farm
ing, more intensified cultivation and
bigger crops will come reduced cost
of living and, with big returns to the
farmer, it will all rebound to the
glory of that llustrious statesman,
Woodrow Wilson.
This act stands on a par with the
regional reserve act, also passed by
this session 1t may be in advance of
the times, but nevertheless. ii shows
the wisdom of anticipating the wants
of the people before crying need
takes place, and this act has demon
strated that the government can leg
islate for the benefit Of the masses
and build up that great industry, ag-
riculture. which is the basis of all
wealth and the security of all invest
ments and the uplit OF the human
family

New Foot Remedy Causes Big
Run On Drug Stores

Since the virtues of Ice-Mnt as foot rem
edy became known in this coun try, druggists
have been having an extraordinary demand for
this product, as it seems to be the only thing
that effectually overcomes the evils of modern
footwear
The fact that this discovery, which Is made
from a Japanese product, will actually remove
corns-roots and all-and without the slight
est pain or soreness, Is of course mainly re-
sponsible for its large and increasing sale.
Ice-Mint is very easy to use. You simply
apply little on = tender. aching corn or
cailus and instantly the soreness is relieved
and soon the corn or callus is so shrivelled
that It may be lifted out easily with the
fingers-roots and al-leavng the surround
ing skin In normal. healthy condition. In
minor cases Of foot troubles. such as tender.
tired, swollen. aching. burning feet. It has
been found that by rubbing just little Ice
Mint on the feet in the morning they will be
kept cool, easy and comfortable during the en-
tire day. Ice-Mint Is a clean. creamy. snow
white. non poisonous substance that will not
infiame or irritate the most tender skin. In
fact, It imparts such soothing. restful feel
ing to the feet that 1t has become very popu-
lar with ladies who wear high heel shoes and
with men who have to stand on their feet all
day. II you want to know what real foot
comfort is just ask in any drug store for a
s;....! jar oe I.4Msnt. which will cost YOU little
yet is sufficient to rid ones feet of every corn
or callus and put them in fine condition
You'll like 1t immensely.
