Validity of designations
Further or it quoted Mr.. Conkling
for this:
although designations from eXemp-

We want 10 make il clear that no reslg-
nations are valid until they have been
sent by mail to the Mayor and have
been formally accepted. A member OF
a board who has resigned should keep
on working until relieved by his sue

The Board of Elections has been in

a delay in the transfer of cards from
the registration to the exemption
boards. 1t was found that the desire
of exemptors to. spend the week end

REAR ADMIRAL PEARY PLEADS
FOR BETTER AIR EQUIPMENT
United States Gave %ieroplane 10 III"
World, but Is Now Far Behind
Other Nations In Equipment.

The most vital and immediate mat
ter in our national preparedness is
air preparedness. In this at the
present time we are molly only deficient
we are absolutely lacking and yet
United states gave flight to the world.
The remedy for this extremely dan
gerous condition Is the immediate
creation by congress of a separate in
dependent department OF a~eronautics.
with one OF the biggest executives the
country can produce at its head. to
have full and undivided control Of the
upbuilding OF a great air service for
the nation.
our air service Is now handled part
~ by the army and partly by the navy.
This manncr-it cannot be called sys-
tents inherently wrong. Il means
divided and dispersed responsibility.
II means diversion OF officers from
the Imperative work OF their respec-
tive departments at this crucial time.
II means that aeronautics is the last
and least Of the nero duties de-
volving upon these officers.
An air fleet for the United states
Is a too intensely vital matter to be
handled by boards or commission or
different departments-by diluted
authority or divided attention. II
must be handled by concentrated. an
divided one-man control and respon-
sibtlity. This is the method which
built tho Panama canal after Four hun
dred Years of fussing. and il is the only
way.
Ar preparedness for the United
States ceuters and hinges ON the crea-
tiou of a new government department
of %aeronautics BILLS Tor the creation
of such department have already been
introduced tn the present congress.
/ Congressman Hubert Of New York
and senator Sheppard Of Texas intro
duced Identical bills IN the house and
euate. These bills aro modelled ON
the bills which created The department
sd commerce and LABOR some years ago
aud later the new department OF la
bor There IS reason 10 believe these
bills have the approval OF the presi-
dent The support OF strong men in
both houses. from the east. the middle
Nest and the Pacific coast Is already
assured. The next immediate step Is
10 secure sufficient additional support
TO insure the speedy enactment OF
these bills into law.
The building Of am air fleet for this
country can then be undertaken M
once, and pushed TO rapid materiali-
cation. Individuals and organizations
can DO no more effective work for
preparedness than by using the wires

LIFT YOUR CORNs OFF WITH FIN
GERS
callus so it lifts out without
Pain

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lock jaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is re-
lieved and soon the entire corn or cal
lus, root and all, lifts out with the fin
gers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
piled and simply shrivels the corn or cal
lus without infaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very little
at any Of the drug stores, but will posi-
lively rid ones feet Of every hard or
soft corn or hardened callus. If your
druggist hash It any freezone he can get
it at any wholesale drug house for you.

Marshal Power received an early
morning call Monday to take
charge of strange man who was
found near the barn OF Rev.
Stratton. The fellow was both
drunk and crazy. 1t had been
rather a cool night but he had
taken off his clothing and was
chasing about in not a very pre-
sentabIe form. There were several
cuts and bruises on his head where
he had attempted to commit sui
eide by pounding himself with a
large rock that was found covered
with hair and blood. At first he
was unable to give any account of
himself, but fually gave his name
as Jim Teters and his home as
South Pittsburg, Tenn. He said
he had recently worked in a paper
mill at Quincy but could not tell
how he came to be in Laclede. He
was given medical treatment and
locked up until the next day when
he became sober and was turned
