WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply few drops then lift corns or
caIluses off 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 Gin
cinnati 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 callus
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. Instantly
the soreness disappears and shortly the
corn or callus will loosen and can be
lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out the
corns or calluses but shrivcls them with
out even irritating the surrounding skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying it or
afterwards. If your druggist don't have
freezone have him order it for you.

LOCAL SPORT DOPE
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.;

Frank Sather, who has played in the
outfield for the high school base ball
team the past couple of seasons has
been chosen captain of this years
team. Right now, tho, prospects for
team are dubious. So many of the
boys are enlisting that there may not
be enough left in school to fill all the
vacancies.
The base ball game scheduled for
last Saturday with the Granite Falls
high school team was called off, owing
to the fact that so many of the Gran
tie boys have left to join the colors,
the team was forced to disband.
If there is a ball team at the high
school this year, they will not play
more than couple of games, probably
with Kerkhoven.

My Fellow Countrymen:

The entrance of our own beloved
country into the grim and terrible war
for democracy and human rights which

with regard to them.

In an age of the utmost freedom to the

In the early days, when instantaneous

not affect many people.

AGRICULTURAL SUGGESTIONS

The following brief suggestions
from our local high school agriculture
list, E. L.. Rodegeb may be helpful:
Set a few old hens. Now is good
time. Experience shows it is a cheap
but profitable undertaking.
Plant a garden, the bigger the bet
ter, providing you take good care of
it. Raise half or more than half of
your living. Time we'll spent. 1t pays.
Put in some potatoes but look out
for diseases and bugs. Potatoes have
their troubles as we'll as we have.
Treat your seed to get 1t free from
diseases before planting and then use
ground where potatoes were not grown
last year. Soak whole potatoes for
~ hours in four ounces of corrosive
sublimate dissolved in hot water and
then add water to bring up to thirty
gallons of solution. Or use one pint of
formaldehyde go per cent? to 30 gal
Ions Of water and soak potatoes two
hours. Be careful Of solutions as they
are very poisonous. Treat only the
potatoes for seed. Either treatment
will give good results. If you have a
wet piece Of ground, drain it, use tile.
Get them in right. Have the job sur.
veyed and properly laid out. Don't
guess. Perhaps l can survey it and
help you to get a satisfactory job
done. I meet a number of good tilers
during the season. At times these
men run out of job and spend sew.
eral days looking for another. AT
times, farmers have a hard job finding
a good tiler. Perhaps I can help you
to get together if you let me know
your needs. This is an especially busy
season for agricultural extension
work. Help to save time and use my
energy to best advantage. When you
call me out to your place, have ma
terial and everything ready for bust
ness. This is too busy a time to just
visit. Let's do something.

men and men with this in mind
are already buying up land and
erecting buildings around the
new camps to entice our soldier
boys into sin. Unless something
to Offset this influence is done at
once many of our boys will be-
come physical and moral wrecks
before they reach the battle
fields, and therefore be unfit for
soldiers. Several of the leading
religious denominations have al
ready started to erect buildings
around the camps to provide
places of worship, reading rooms
and places for recreation and
wholesome amusements for the
boys at camp. At some of the
camps this work will be inter-
denominational. The Methodist
Episcopal church has undertaken
to raise $3.50, 900 for this purpose.
On Sunday morning, Septem-
Der 16. Rev. G. T. Ensign will
