Getting Rid of Him.

The deacons and other officers OF
church had met to discuss the best
method of getting rid of a pastor who
had worn out his usefulness. After
various methods had been suggested
without any of them seeming feasible,
one brother, who was a good deal OF
a wag, said:
Il tell you what to do: Let's pay
MIN all of his salary in arrears an
raise him to thousand a year an he

sixty years ago. The happy father
was alternately welcoming the guests

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
ct least once q week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati author
ity to use drug called freezone,
which the moment few drops are
applied to any corn or callus the
soreness is relieved and soon the en-
tire corn or callus, root and all, lifts
OF with the fingers.
Freexone dries the moment it is ap
piled, and simply shrivels the corn
or callus without infaming or even
Irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. A small bottle OF freeze one will
cost very little at any Of the drug
stores, but will positively rid ones
feet Of every hard callus. If your
druggist hasn't any freezone he can
get it at any wholesale drug house
for you. adv.

WOODSTOCK, VIRGIL =.
FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER IA. 1917.
We MUST HAVE FOan.

The Government fully app e.
cistes the necessity for stron.
army aud full supply of 70, d.
1t is absolutely necessary that
whatever is needed for the pro
lection Of our country and otrl
people must be supplied, without
regard to cost.
The call has been made and
the people have promptly replis d..
There is no scarcity of men.
The next provision pressi G
upon us is a sufficient supply OF
food rot only for our people at
home and our army abroad, but
for our allies who are engaged
in the same struggle with us.
We have plenty of land which is
capable of producing all the
food which the world may call
for. The great dra wback is the
scarcity of laLor. For some
years there has been a continual
drifting of our young men from
the farms to the cities and to the
large manufacturing esta blish-
ments which entice them by II e
promise OF higher wages than
they have been making OH the
farms. Now the scarcity of la Der
prevents the farms from yielding
the supplies which they would
under other circumstances. The
Shenandoah Valley. once call d
the granary of the Confed
eracv," while producing very
large crops is handicapped, and
does not produce what it is cap
able of doing.
Our farmers are continually
CRYING for help, but there is no
help to be had. In many sec.
tions of this Valley, the women
are compelled to do the men S
work. The farmers are unable
to put out the crops which the
condition of the country requires
If the men are to drafted from
the farms, there will necessa rily
be large decrease in the crops.
This subject is worthy of the
close attention of officials who
have charge of selecting men for
the army. Rob our farms of the
necessary labor and you rob the
armv of the supplies necessary
for the success of the army.
Intensive farming would prob
ably double our productions, but
we cannot have intensive farm :
ing without increased labor. The
importation of labor, even if it
were possible, would not prove
satisfactory. Besides it is bad
policy to trade horses while
crossing stream We want
labor, and we want it now. Take
away our laborers to be convert
ed into soldiers and the produc-
tiveness OF the farms, if not de-
stroved, will be greatly decreas-
ed. Soldiers cannot be convert
ed into farm laborers without
training and the seasons do not
give time to train laborers.
Prepare tile army as efficiently
and as quickly as possible, but
let it not be done by the loss Of
our producers OF foods.
