ON WIFE'S DRESSER
Cincinnati man tells how to shrivel
up corns or calluses so they
lift off with fingers.

Ouch !?!?!! 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 a drug called freezone when applied
to a tender, aching cor or hardened
callus stops soreness at once, and soon
the corn or callus dries up and lifts
right off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never inflames or even i~rritates the
surrounding skin. A small bottle of
f~reezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions of American wo.
men will welcome this announcement
since the inauguration of the high
heels. If your druggist doesn't have
f~reezone tell him to order a small bot
tie for you.

NEW BOOK BY MARY ELLEN CHASE.

"Virginia of the Elk Creek Valley"
by Mary Ellen Chase, member of the
high school faculty, was published Easter
Saturday by the Page company of Boston.
The book is sequel TO ''The Girl From
the Big Horn Country" which was pub
lished a year ago and which is already in
its seventh printing. The new book will
be of interest to the people of Bozeman
and vicinity, since many of the scenes,
although nominally laid in Wyoming, are
In reality taken from West Galatin cam
yon and the surrounding mountain coun-
try. Miss Chase spent the summer of
1915 at Karst's Cold Springs camp, where
she collected material and planned the
story. Many of the characters and places
will be familiar to Bozeman readers.

Helping the Growing Crops.

celery, lettuce, chard. corn, toma-
toes. and few other vegetables are Of
ten benefited by application of food dur
ing the growing season. Oftentimes a
side dressing of fertilizers or manures
is used to hasten the growth of the plants
and thus to obtain early maturity.
Sometimes during the development of
crop of vegetables the gardener notices
that the plants are dwarfed, that the
color, instead of being dark green, is
light green, or that other indications Of
checked growth are appare MT. AT times
the difficulty may be traced to disease or
insects, at other times to poor soil prep
aratlon, lack of cultivation, and some
times to deficien: food supply. In the
latter case it is possible to overcome the
difficulty by applying fertilizers or
manures as side dressing. ALBERT E.

GERMANY PLANNED TO ATTACK
AMERICA.

BOSTON, April 49, To show the "deep
hatred which he asserted Germany has
held against the United States, former
Ambassador James W. Gerard, tonight
disclosed facts which he says had been
kept from the American people during
the past two and one half years. He
was the principal speaker at national
defense dinner given by the Pilgrim Pub.
licity association, at which covers were
laid for more than 1000 persons.
Mr.. Gerard said that Admiral Won Tir-
pitt, in thinly yelled statements, and the
German Reichstag and Prussian Parlia-
ment in open discussions, proposed the
institution of unrestricted submarine
warfare against England, with the in
tention, "when England should have
been subdued by hunger, to come over
to the United States and collect the
price of the war from u.s.

ed, that if we had not gone into this
war, Germany would have fulfilled it's in
tention to come over here afterwards
and attack US, and would have done SO
almost with the applause of the rest of
the world. | can tell you also that
everything consistent with honor was
done to keep US out of the war. Beyond
that, L am sure, none would have US 90. /"
The former ambassador expressed his
belief that citizens of German descent
would prove loyal, but, he added, eff
they do not stand with US, think we
know where to festoon Them"
Relating results of his inspection of

Russians, in which typhus fever had de-
veloped saying you like your allies so
well, perhaps you would like to live with

French and British to certain death, Mr..
Gerard said. "In the camp of the Irish
prisoners at Lemberg he found men dy-
ing OF lack of nourishment and others
going crazy.
I'VE have unfortunately Prussian
element in this country" said Mr.. Ger
ard. There are the Prussian Irish, the
Prusslan Germans and the Prussian
Americans. The latter are masquerad-
ing as pacifsts."
May be Serious Thing
His statement that the war would be a
hard one was echoed by Major General
Leonard Wood, U. S. A., commanding
the department of the East.
mo one can tell how the war is going
TO 60 30 far as we are concerned" he

Keep off the Grass.

The above is the subject of an editor
ial in the Breeders Gazette in which the
editors advocate that such sign would
prove profitable precaution on many a
farm at this time of the year. Grasses,
like all other plants digest their food in
their leaves, which are their stomachs.
The larger the leaf or plant growth the
more plantfood can be digested. The
first growth of grass is over 95 percent
water and contains almost no nutrition.
Grass pastured too closely in the spring
is usually injured for the entire season.
Feed is high, but it is not so high that
one can afford to ruin good pasture by
turning stock on it too early. keep off
the grass until it has time to grow"
says the Breeders Gazette. Besides
giving the grass a chance to make a
start before turning OF the stock, some
of the best stock men are finding that it
pays to topdress grass land with manure
and fertilizers. If the stand of grass is
light it also pays to sow and harrow in
some extra grass seed. Melvin Ryder.

Buy Seed and Fertilizer Now.

The State Committee on Food Pro-
duction and Conservation urge all farm
ers who have not already on hand, or ar
ranged for, their needed seed and fer
tilizer for maximum crop in 1917, to pur-
chase at once. Both seed and fertilizer
are short and railroad transportation is
overtaxed. Seed potatoes can now be
had in Aroostook county, but in two
weeks from now there may be no sur
plus. Any person having surplus of
seeds of oats, wheat, corn, beans and
potatoes, are invited to write at once to
the Committee of Food Production and
Conservation, Augusta. This commit
tee will act as medium of exchange
without expense.

Food Riots and Farming.

The above is the heading of an edi-
torial in a leading farm paper. The edi-
tor points out that food for man and
beast is of first Importance, yet those
who live on farms where food is abund-
ant can scarcely appreciate the pangs of
hunger that cause the recent riots All
surplus food should be canned, evaporat-
ed and stored for future use. While poor
distribution coupled with an under pro-
duction was the cause of the present
condition, it should serve as warning
this year. There should be cohcen-
trated effort to produce feed for men and
stock and build up the fertility of the
SO for better production In the future
so as to avoid food riots ip land of
plenty.-J. W. Henceroth.

Farm Work is Behind.

Owing to the unusual late spring many
farmers are fully month behind with
their work. This means crops will either
go in the ground late or be planted in
poorly prepared soil. Both of these are
undesirable, yet late planting can De
overcome by using fertilizers to give the
crops quick start and hasten maturity.
The nitrogen or ammonia gives plants a
quick start even though planted late, and
the phosphoric acid and potash hastens
the maturity of the crop towards the
close of the growing season. In this wa
crops escape frost at both ends of the
season.

War Increasing Demand For Canned Goods,

Most canning factories are entirely
sold out of all goods put up last year. In
fact, the supply was not equal to the de-

of tomatoes, beans, peas and corn was
very poor, resulting IN light pack in
most sections. Realizing the greater
demand there will be for canned goods
this year, the canning companies are pay
ing the growers better prices than ever
before. The growing Of Gamers crops
under contract is very profitable when
