Use OF LIBERTY LOAN
Mistaken Notion That Money Will
Be Eventually Lost.
To Be Invested In Things That VIII Be
Of Value After the
War.

1t Is mistaken notion that all OF
the money raised by the sale of Liberty
Loan bonds which is to be used for
war purposes Will be an eventual loss
to the United States and its people
that 1t Is all to be spent for things
used In the war or useless except for
purposes Of war. 1t is well to remem-
Der that a great deal Of the money
raised by the sale of Liberty Loan
bonds Is to be invested In things that
Will be of great use and value to the
nation when peace shall be declared.
One thing that most people realize
VIII be of value Is that 1t is going to
put this nation in state of prepared
ness. While 1t is hoped and believed
that the end of the war will be the
ending of all great wars, 1t will be a
valuable thing to America to find her.
self at Its close prepared to enforce
the just DEGREES of peace. There may
be twilight zone between the close
of the war and the establishment of
peace all over the world and prepar-
edness will place America In a position
to have that voice In the world affairs
that this nation is worthy of. We
know that voice will be for peace and
justice and freedom.
Millions are to be spent In the con-
struction Of merchant ships and these,
at least those that escape destruction
In war, will be valuable investment.
There will be tremendous demand for
merchant ships when peace comes and,
whether the United States continues
to own and operate this merchant ma
rine or whether the ships are sold
to private individuals, the money In
vested in them by the United States
will be no loss to the nation. 1t may
be a great gain to II. In the revival
of foreign commerce, In the contest for
foreign markets, the United States
will no longer be at the mercy of for
eign ship owners. We can do our
own carrying trade and our commerce
will have fair chance In the foreign
markets.
Billions of this money raised by the
sale of Liberty Loan bonds have been
and are to be loaned to those European
nations engaged in war with Germany.
This is no expenditure without return.
It is an investment and 1t Is an invest
ment that no one will say Is insecure. It |
will not only bring In return in inter-

It Works! Try It
Tells how to loosen a sore,
tender corn so 1t lifts
out without pain.

No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, without
q particle Of pain or soreness.
This drug Ia called freezone and is
a compound of ether discovered by q
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for 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 shrivels
them without even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no sore
ness or smartfng when applying 1t or
afterwards. II your druggist don't

MEAT PROBLEM IS
GROWING SERIOUS
War Demands Make Alarming
Inroads on the Herds Of
the Country.
AUTHORITIES IN WARNING
Food Administration Points Out Only
Solution Lies In Reduction Of Con-
sumption and Elimination
of Waste.

The problem of supplying the allies
with meat has devolved mainly on the
United States and daily the burden is
growing more onerous, according to q
statement issued by the food admins
tration. Wartime demands have been
SO great that Europe has been making
alarming inroads on Its herds, with a
consequent reduction in its domestic
supply.
Since the war began there has been
decrease Of 115,005,0OO in the worlds
supply of meat-producing animals.
Cattle increased 100000 In the United
States, while the total world decrease
was 2S,0S0,000 Sheep decreased g.
100000 In this country, while the world
supply was diminished by 100000.
Hogs increased 6,275,000 in America,
but the general supply decreased a.
425,000.
Exports Chiefly to the Allies.
During the year ended June 80, 1915,
America exported 1889, 1890 pounds
Of meat, compared with three-year
ante bellum average of 493,34S,000
pounds. These exports went chiefly
to the allies, whose capital stock Of
animals has decreased 33,0O0O00 head.
although the European countries
have drastically reduced meat con-
sumption among war workers." says
the statement, "thls saving has been
overcome by the greatly increased de-
mands to supply men in the armies and
shops, and women who have taken up
physical labor. Millions of individu-
ais to whom fresh meat twice week
was luxury are now, by necessity
Of their extreme physical labor, eat
Ing 1t twice daily.
'"The war has injected into an al
ready difficult situation a number of
vicious conditions which are jeopardiz-
Ing the ultimate animal product sup
ply of the world. The production of
fodder In Europe has been diminished
by the diversion of productive labor
to war and Its import has been cur
tailed by shortage in shipping and by
the isolation Of markets by belliger-
ent lines.
Meat Problem Facing America.
"The problem facing America not
only is one of supplying the immedi-
ate demand Of the allies, but one which
Is more far-reaching In Its Significance.
AS the war goes on there will be con-
stant lessening of the capital stock of
the worlds food animals. Among our
western allies the demand outruns
farther every day the decreasing pro-
duction, and as shipping becomes
further shortened by submarine de-
struction, further destruction of the
herds must ensue."
The food administration points out
that the only immediate solution of
the problem lies In reduction of con.
and elimination of waste.

In even nickles and dimes.
Odd-penny prices have been used

HOLDING SEED WHEAT.

In every community where spring
wheat was grown this year there are
farmers who are willing to hold seed
for sowing next spring. but they do
not feel that they should hold the
wheat through the winter and sell It
mex spring for seed at the govern
ment fixed price. 1t is not. necessary
that they do so. 1t would not be fair
to expect it.
Any farmer who has good wheat
and can hold 1t for seed until next
spring is urged to do so. While a
sale for seed will not be guaranteed
him he will be allowel to sell on the
same basis as the seed dealer. namely
at profit of not to exceed 15 per
cent, or from twenty-five to thirty
cents bushel There is no chance
of getting speculative profits but the
pay will be renumeraive.
| II is desirable that farmers do this
in many communities where there are
not proper storage facilities to keep
wheat separate In elevators and seed
houses. Much can be done by farm
ers TO preserve the purity of seed OF
good quality by keeping II in their
own bins until seeding time.
The varieties preferred are Mar
quis. Scotch Fife, Bluestem. in the
order named. If special information
is desired it may be had from the rep.
