Since so much has been said in
your column about the war situa
ton, I should like to tell you IF
an instance that recently came to
my notice. A mother-a plain
farm wolnan-was telling me that
her Oldest son had been drafted
He Is FL young fe los, barely
twenty-one, and her idol,
Hes always done the beat he
knew how In everything, she
said, and II hiss got TO b. sol

best lis can. It's breathing my
heart to aise him tip
She caught her breath ard turn
ed away for minute, then went
on,
Il lie awake nights thinking
about it. ! wonder if he will have
TO suffer from cold while we're
warm at home. | wonder il he u
ever come back
I She stopped at that and wen {
back to her sewing, and | thought
she would say no more. But in a
minute she dropped her work in
her lap and looked up,
I'm glad he passed the physi
cal examination. she said, tho
if he hadn't he could stay at home
with us. I've tried to take care
of his health, and to teach him to
do so. from the time he was little
I ,aeant for him to be a strong,
good man, whatever he was called
upon to do. OF course ! never
thought of this. But when he
goes I shall know that I have
helped him togo as a man should

many women whose quiet ehroism
is as deep as that Of tas mother
who felt that in giving her boy
she was really giving a part of
herself. and that her service had
gone to make part of his eff

sacrifice and pain and with it all a
pride in the fact that her son
should not be found wanting in
any respect. She spent no time
in whining about injustice, or in
giving way to selfish feeling. IF
he's got to be a solder want him
to do the best he cam" That was
the keynote, and to me this plain,
middle aged woman in her calico

"The American Red Cross Is be.
Ing run as an open book" said
L6igh Carroll, manager Of the
G6lf Division with headquarters
in the post Office building. In an
exger to fumofs and inuendues
critical Of and calculated to EN-
barrass the Red Cross. The Red
Cross has no secrets. It is max
ing sincere effort to serve man
kind and is doing it as carefully
endeconomically'as it knows how"
Mr.. Carroll said the accounts of
the American Red Cross are to be
audited by the War Department
and the utmost effort is being
made to give publicity to all &C.
tivities.
The reputation and standing { f
the American Red Cross is in the
hands of the officers of the differ
ent Chapters over the country"
said the manager Of the Gulf Div
ision, and naturally we look to
them to protect the name and in
terests of the organization. Ru
mors are being industriously cir
culated as part of certain anti pa
triotic propaganda. Many Of the
stories circulated are utterly un
warranted and emanatc sinultan-
eously from too many different
PARTS of the United States to be
merely accidental. We are asking
the Red Cross Chapters over the
country to notify central or divis.
iopal headquarters whenever the
officers or members hear attacks
on the Red Cross
The Red Cross, Mr.. Carol ex-
plains, is actively engaged in re
lievipg suffering in Europe and is
also taking care OF many families
Of soldiers who are being prepared
for battle at the European front.
Thousands of women Throughout,
the Gulf Division-and this con.
dition ext IS over the entire coun.
try are daily engaged in the prep
aration of hospital garments, sur
gical supplies. knitted articles and
the like. all for distribution among
the American soldiers. Thus
you will sec," said Mr.. Carroll,
the Red Cross is engaged in a
great humanitarian cause ano

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAlNl
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up corn or callus so II lifts
off with fingers.

You cern-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because few
drops OF freezone applied directly on q
tender, aching corn or callus, stops sore
ness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted out, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone cost very
little at any drug store, but win posi-.
lively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as it is inexpensive and is said not TO
irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get a small bottle for you
from his Wholesale drug house. It is
fine stuff and acts like a charm every
time

Otto Kahn on Germany.

Otto Fl. Kahn, the great banker,
was born in Germany. He has
kept in intimate touch with the
trend of affairs in the Fatheilind
There is no man in America who
has a clearer understanding of the
ruling spirit Of Germany than he,
nor is there in America today a
a better patriot than he. Mr.. Kahn
electriged the members of the
United States Chamber OF Com.
merce, in session at Atlantic City
last week. by delivering an ad
dress which for fervid patriotism
and clear presentation of the case
of civilization against Germany
has hardly been cqualled since the
beginning of the war.
Here are two paragraphs viii ch
ought to be read and pondered by
all
The difference in the degree of
guilt between the German people
and their Prussian or Prussianized
rulers and leaders for the mons
trous crime of this war and the
atIocious barbarism of its conduct
is the difference between the man
who, acting under the influence
of a poisonous orug, runs amuck
in mad frenzy and the unspeaka-
be malefactor who administered
that dug, well knowing and fully
intending the CHASTITY consequen
ces which were to follow.
From each of my visits to Ger
many for twenty FIVE years came
away more appalled, by the SIMS
ter transmutation Prussianism has
wrought amongst the people and
by the portentous menace | recog
nized in it for the entire world.
1t had given to Germany I'M
PARALLEL prosperity, benefcent and
advanced social Legislation and not
a few other things of value, but it
had taken in payment the soul of
the race. 1t had made a DEVILS

Prisoners from the latter forces say that they had no idea what war was actually like until recently, and all became much de pressed when they saw the trenches they were supposed to occupy all smashed and torn by the British shell fire
 Prisoners taken in the last three days tell of the spread of discontent in the German army because of re. dueed rations since April 15.

 This will be the first feature of an

 the Hot Springs committee has pro-
 vided for the visitors. for 1t Is plan
 ned to make this convention one of
 the most pleasant the bankers of the

 Local auto owners who will give the
 use of their cars or who will be in
 charge of the same are urgently re-
 quested to communicate this good news to either Dave Hurgauer at the Arkansas Trust Company or Secre- tary Ebel, of the league It is a very important item, this automobile ques- ton. and the committee does not de- sire that any time be lost in getting the required number of cars.
 From the manner in which the re- turn postal cards have been received at the league" said President Strauss, we have every reason to believe the of the state bankers next week will be the largest in the history of the association, and we desire Go make 1t success in every way. Both inc league and the local bankers will appreciate greatly the of the automobile own CTS in the use of their cars for next Wednesday afternoon"
 The fact that John M Parker. can iidate for vice president on the Pro sressive ticket, will be the chief speaker at the convention, sounding the keynote of the meeting in his ad- dress, has given additional interest to the convention over the state, and has served to materially increase the membership to the convention. In addition to this noted son of Louisiana there will also be Chairman Harding of the Federal Reserve Board to- sether with other men of prominence, making the convention in this respect one of the most notable gatherings in the history of the organization. Gov ernor Brough will arrive in Hot Springs next Wednesday, and he will be one of the chief speakers at the banquet that night
 In the intervening time, however, don't forget the important fact that one hundred automobiles are neees- sary. Much time and trouble can be saved those in charge of arrange ments if owners of cars will imme- dietely notify Mir. Burgauer or Secre- tary Ebel of their cooperation in this particular respect
