CUMBERLAND
IN THE SOUTH


sented in the sunny Southland enjoy
ing the summer-like weather while
here there is naught but snow and
ice. St. Petersburg, Florida, is the
one place that seems most popular
among the Bridgetonians and Cum
berland folks, wonderful winter re-
sort that is growing to be a Queen
City of the State of Florida.
st. Petersburg is more important
city than most people have any idea
of. Its permanent population is
about the same as Bridgeton. At the.
present time there are from $4,000 to
$4,000 people there, and every hotel
and apartment is crowded to it's ca
pacity. The statistics will give some
thing of an idea of the Importance of
st. Petersburg:
1t has 4S miles of brick streets.
80 miles of cement sidewalks.
"a miles of sewer.
26 miles of trolley lines.
8 beautiful parks.
Municipal water works.
Municipal gas plant
Municipal incinerator.
Paid fire department.
Auto fire trucks.
Municipal pier.
: Yacht basin and harbor.
Electric light plant.
Golf club
Country club
The present temperature is from
10 to so degrees.

Apply i Few Drops Then Lift Corna
or Callouses OF With Fingers
No Pain.

No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out. without
a particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called Freezone and is
a compound of ether discovered by a
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of Freezone, which will cost
but a trifle, but is sufficient to rid
ones feet of every corn or callous.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callous. In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callous will
loosen and can be lifted off with the
fingers.
This drug Freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or callouses, but shriyels
them without even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no
soreness or smarting when applying
it or afterwards. If your druggist
don't have Freezone have him order
it for you. (adv)

Farmers and Dudelets.

ooh. he's just farmer out here
in the country"
We stood on a street corner the
otherday and heard that remark
passed by one of the brilliant
young masculine .striplings of our
town as he "bummed" the makings
from a friend.
The farmer, to be sure, was just
a farmer "out here in the country"
He wore overalls and drove his
wagon into town, but at home his
automobile rested snugly in the gar
age. He owns one of the most valu-
able farms in this whole section of
the state. His home life is ideal and
his wife and children have every
thing they desire. His simple word
is as good as his check, and his
check would be IGNORED for sum
that might stagger you.
He is a man, real man, man
whom other men acknowledge to be
a man among men, even if he is "just
a farmer out here in the country"
But what of the STRIPPING, what
of the dudelet?
He is just one of that numerous
class who always know everything
and never do anything, who amount

What's The Matter With Us?

Whenever we see the business men
of any community wake up and go
to boosting we take off our hat to
them. We would like to do the
same to the business men of this
town
Aryada, Colorado, is an example
just now of what can be done when
people want to do.
In some manner the impression
was spread abroad that the business
interests of Arvada did not invite an
overly close relation with the COM
munity at large. 1t injured the town.
When this impression reached the
ears of the business men they wasted
; no time in vain regrets. They want
to work like men and organized a
community club-it is called "The
Arvada Community Club"
The object of the club is in the
main to unite the interests of the
town and the surrounding trading
territory by bringing all of the peo-
pie into closer touch one with an
other.
They will organize an exchange,
with competent man in charge.
Farmers, gardeners, any person in
country. or town who has anything
for sale can list it with the eX-
change and it will be disposed of for
them without the charge of any COM
mission Once a month big public
auction will be held at which all ar
tfcles not heretofore sold will be dis
posed of without expense to the
seller The sale days are to be
widely advertised in the local press
and the most experienced auc-
tioneers obtainable will be engaged.
The business men of the town are to
be urged to advertise their merchan-
disc heavily in the Arvada papers
and make special bargain days for
the auction sale days, and in this
manner establish close relation
ship between the town and sur
rounding territory that will cause
farmers to forget that such thing as a
mail order house ever existed.
Now if Arvada can do it, why can't
we? What's the matter with us,
s anyway?
Any man with a particle of grey
matter under his hat knows that IL
the farmer could dispose OF his
crops and his small stuff all in this
town to advantage he would do so.
And il he did that he would also
do his trading here, for he is just
rs intelligent and as much human
possibly more so-as some Of the rest
of us. He knows when his bread is
buttered. and he invariably takes the
buttered piece.

He is standing on the deck above
the throbbing engines watching the
sun play on the gently rolling swells
of the Atlantic-the Englishman is.
Beyond a suit of khaki, an Enfield
rifle, bayonet and a heavy pack
await him. Beyond is the thunder of
belshing hokitZers, coiling trench
systems, mud, trench raids, death
ready with handshake. Beyond is
the Englishman's future-and with
it all-with the peril, with the hard
ship, with the intimacy with death
the Englishman is happy. He has
found his soul.
Until few days ago the English
man was an Akronite. He was a
quiet, unobstrusive fellow who ans
wered to the name of Alfred Hoskins,
and when he swore softly and used
such unfamiliar slang as "blighter'
and his superlatives were. limited to
Bully" He was character for JOS.
Conrad, this Englishman was. He
ran away from London because he
did not want to go to war. He
thought a lot of life. Any sacrifice
that might take it away from him
was too much.
Alfred Hoskins climed Stealthily
aboard a ship and came to America.
He left his two brothers to do the
fighting for the family. He left his
mother to cry and weep scalding
tears of humiliation. He left his ia
Their angry and brooding. Of course,
his conscience bothered hint be-
haved abominably-but it would
wear itself out. A few months il
America and all would be all right.
Two years Alfred Hoskins roamed
the American continent, but the con-
science did not wear itself out. 1t re-
buked him in Chicago, in Cleveland,
in the West, in the East, in Akron
it became unbearable. 1t admonish-
ed him night and day.
Three months ago Alfred Hoskins
got a job as elevator man with the
B. F. Goodrich Rubber Company. He
worked nights. Everywhere in the
day time, he was confronted by
soldiers, by newspaper accounts of
the stirring deeds of his countrymen.
A week ago Alfred Hoskins gave up
the struggle. He quit his job. He
confessed his weakness. He was go
ing back. He was going to fight.

To The Public!

The merchants of Paris recently
| signed agreements to close their
stores as follows: Grocery stores at
Z p. m. and Saturdays II D.. m.
Other lines of business at p. M, ex-
cepting Saturdays. Some of our mer-
chants are doing all they can to live
UP to their agreement, while others
| find all kind of excuses to extend the
time Of closing. One of their main
excuses has been that customers will
delay their purchases to the last
minute, and by entering stores at the
closing hour make it difficult for
merchants to close their stores as
agreed upon.
The Merchants Protective Associa-
meeting directed by an unanimous
vote that the undersigned make an
urgent appeal to the public to kindly
assist the merchants by making all
their purchases so as not to conflict
with this closing arrangement.
There must be reason in all
things. A business or household
conducted without order and system
cannot bring complete success. Re-
member success does not mean money
alone-but also means Happiness,
Harmony and Good Health"
The mechanic and ordinary day
1aborer will not work over 10 or 8
hours per. day. This you will agree
is exactly right. But why then
should we expect a merchant to
work from a. m. to 10 or even IL
p. M, or from IL to Is hours per
day?
The merchant desires good health
and wants to live as long as others.
He wants to enjoy the company of
his wife and children at evening
during the week as well as only on
Sundays. Two hours extra rest each
day means all this for him and better
service for you on the next day. No
doubt you believe this is right and
are willing to grant him and his
clerks and porters this necessary
rest. Then why not help him to live
up to his pledge and make your pur-
chases accordingly?
To those merchants who have so
far failed to close their stores as
promptly as they agreed, we appeal
again, For the good of all, as well
as your own welfare, let us stand to-
gether and work like one man."
To those merchants who so far
have failed to fall in line on the
closing agreement, we extend an
earnest appeal to "Come and work to-
gether with us.for common cause"
and to the public we appeal for their
encouragement and cooperation in
this movement, because we believe it
right.

Education a Modern Necessity.

Again the youth of our community
are back in school and preparing
themselves for the duties of life. A
few years hence they will be bearing
the burdens of the community that
are borne by us to-day, and it is in
cumbent upon us to see that they are
in every way fitted to cope with the
many and intricate problems that
will confront them. Education is d
modern necessity. 1t is no longer a
luxury reserved principally for the
rich. 1t is just as essential that the
mind of the farmer be developed to
the utmost capacity as it is for the
merchant or the doctor or lawyer.
Each branch of industry is depend
ent in great measure on the success
longer can we Ego it alone" as our
forefathers did in the good old days.
Hence, if wo would have our chill
dren successful in life it is necessary
that~we afford them every opportu-
nifty to acquire the education that it
the first requisite to such achieve
ment. Keep the public school in
mind, encourage the teachers by your
personal interest and support, and
commend the children in their efforts
to meet your expectations. Speak
the good word that breeds ambition
in the breast of teacher and pupil
alike, and begin the speaking to-day.
|. Just keep right on breezing
through life without thought Of
the welfare of others and in the end
you will die without knowing that
you have even lived.
