ago. Many things that I witnessed
were both touching and amusing.
"The Lone Star Band" that came
from Texas to be here had stuffed
rabbit, hung high OH pole, as their
mascot. and as they marched along
by where President Wilson stood, a
Confederate and a Union veteran, one
from Texas, the other from Maine,
marched side-by-side, each holding
their old battle flags, full Of bullet
holes, the "Stars and Stripes" and
the "Stars and Bars; and as they
reached the Presidents stand at the
peace monument they dipped their
flags together and proclaimed with O
loud voice, saying, I'VE are weaving
the two flags together, President
Wilson! we are reunited; it is now
one God, one Flag, one Country; to-
gether let us sweetly live, together
let us die" That was the grandest
sentiment that l have ever heard ex-
pressed. I could see that the Presi-
dent was deeply moved. Then ano-
ther said, eve will go to France or
anywhere you want to send u.s." This
became favorite cry. Another was,
Gail on US If the boys can't do it."
One other thing that attracted the
attention Of the President was an old
veteran who had white piece of
cloth, holding 1t as though it was a
flag, with this inscription in long red
letters: Damn a man who amt fer
his country, right or wrong"

Putting Il Ban on Itllers.
(Anderson Mail.)


Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation Of Labor, turns
loose good idea in his editorial in
the American Federationist in which
he advocates abolishing servitors,
Wallets and nunkies during the war.
The labor chief refuses to ac-
knowledge any shortage of labor
while there are thousands Of men do
ing what others ought to be doing
for themselves.
He points out that this servitor
class does nothing except perform
personal service for healthy men and
that in this time of war every per-
son ought to be self-respecting and
producing member of the community.
Mr.. Gompers is right. There Is no
reason why men should be employed
In pifiing kind of which no kind Of
good comes to the nation.
Men should not be employed in
buttoning anybody's shoes when
there is great need Of men for fight
ing, ammunition making and other
work of vital Importance. This is a
good time for every person to get
into productive work. Idlers of all
kinds can have no place in the
scheme of things when nation is
meeting its supreme test.

WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS.
Apply q Few Drops Then Lift Corns
or Calluses or With Fingers.
No Pain,

No humbug! Any corn. whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, without
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
trifle, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet Of every corn or callus.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or calus will loosen
and can be lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freeZone doesn't eat out
the cOrns or calluses but shrivels
them without even irritating the sur
rounding skim.
Just think! No pain at all! no
soreness or smarting when applying
1t Or afterwards. If your druggist
don't have freezone have him order
1t for yOu.--Ady.

Boys Not Allowed to Work.
Greenwood Jourral.)

1t Is pathetic to see the number OF
boys who are anxious to get work
Ihere is scarcely day that some
bright boy Is not out seeking a lob.
But for the fool law that our very
wise and most democratic Legisla-
ture passed every one of these boys
could get profitable work, but they
nave said by legislative enactment
that free men and women, in coun-
try that boasts of personal liberty
shall not get jobs for their boys if
they are under certain ages. But for
this law every boy in Greenwood
could be making good money for
himself and at the same time acquir-
ing a taste for honorable work which
makes him manly and independent.
This law Is making loafers out of
our boys who are standing around
sucking cigarettes and getting into
all kinds Of mischief. This is a great
evil, and far more Injurious to the
boys than it would be for them to be
at work.
Indeed, work Is the thing that they
most need. There should go up pro-
tests so long and so loud that some
thing would be done Immediately to
unbind the hands Of these boys. We
do not believe that the law was en-
acted In the interest OF our boys, but
some politician was out to do some
thing that meant votes for him, and
so he worked up and got passed a
bill declaring that no boy under fif-
teen years Of age should work in a
cotton MILL Instead Of passing such
bill, IL the liberty of free and in
dependent people were to be restrain
ed, in any way it would have been
far better to have enacted law de-
claring that boys should not idle.

HELP NATION BY SAVING FOOD.
Secretary Houston Urges Canning
and Drying Fruits and Vegetables.

Every housewife this year should
restore to her home the often over
looked home industries Of canning,
preserving, picking and drying of
perishable fruits and vegetables"
says David +. Houston, Secretary Of
Agriculture.
"The large number of new back
yard gardens which have been plant
ed this year shortly will begin to
yield their extra harvest of beans,
peas, carrots, beets, corn and toma-
toes. The regular supplies also will
reach the markets and, as happens
each summer, the local supply at
times will exceed immediate con-
sumptive capacity. Not to conserve
much Of this surplusage of valuable
food would be sinful waste.
THE present food and labor stu
ations are such that no household Is
justified in looking to others to re-
lease it wholly from individual re-
sponsibility and constructive action
In saving and conserving food. All
any home should expect Of others is
to supply those foods which cannot
be produced effectively by it's own
members. The railroads will be
burdened with the transportation of
staple foods and civil and military
necessaries from localities Of produc-
ton and manufacture to districts in
capable Of supplying their own
needs. 1t follows that all locally
produced foods, conserved by home
methods, lessen the winter pressure
on transportation agencies and also
release similar products of factories
for other purposes.
81 urge every household, there
fore, to can all surplus perishable
products for which they have con-
tainers and to dry and keep in paper
any additional surplus suitable for
such preservation.
Canning calls for no special skill
and for little equipment beyond a
wash boiler and jars. Fresh pro-
ducts, cleanliness and heat are the
| chief requirements, as even sugar Is
not essential for canning fruits un-
der modern procedure. Fruits and
vegetables, moreover, can be dried
efficiently in the sun, over range or
gas stove, or before an electric fan.
Homemade shallow trays of wood
or heavy wire screen are the chief
equipment required. Drying is a
time-tried home industry; conser-
Vation Of food by drying is largely
a matter Of restoring to the home
reat-grandmother's methods of see
ing that her family has good food in
winter as relief from a monotonous
diet of root vegetables. Canning
and drying can be practiced as ef-
fectievly In city house or apartment
as Oh farm or in a suburban dwell
| ing.
| canning, of course, already is a
profitable industry for women and
children in thousands of homes and
l trust will become almost universal
this season. TO aid the home conser-
vat1on movement, the Department of
Agriculture has issued new farm
ers' bulletin on home canning and an
other on home drying of fruits and
vegetables. These free pamphlets
should be read and followed in every
household which wishes to translate
patriotic impulse into concrete SER
vice."
