DON'T LET WIFE
Die OF L0CKjAW
Warn her against cutting corns
because they can be
lifted out.

Women wear high heels which
buckle up their toes and they suffer
terribly from corns. Women then pro-
coed to trim these pests, seeking re-
lief, but they hardly realize the ter
rible danger from infection, says a
Cincinnati authority.
Corns can easily be lifted out with
the fingers if you will get from any
drug store a quarter of an ounce of a
drug called freeZone. This is sufficient
to remove every hard or soft corn or
callus from ones feet. You simply
apply a few drops directly upon the
tender, aching corn. The soreness is
relieved at once and soon the entire
corn, root and ALL lifts out without
pain.
This is a sticky substance which
dries in moment. 1t just shrivels up
the corn without inflAming or even
irritating the surrounding, tissue or
skin. Cut this out and pin on your
wife's dresser.-Adv.

D. M. Lowe has made arrange
ments for fine display place for
Ashland both at the state fair at
Salem next fall and at the Portland
Land Show. He has requested the
city council to seek means of provid-
ing boulders, ferns and so forth for
fixing up reproduction of the lithia
springs such as was installed at the
San Francisco exposition and attract
ed SO much attention there. He also
asked for twelve cases of llthia water
to be served at banquet at Salem.
The council will ask the aid of the
Commercial Club in tho matter.
The exhibit would be most unique
at the Oregon fairs and would be fine

great deal OF attention is to be paid
to the advertising of Oregon's scenic
and other attractions for the tourist
this year.

Eleanor Daily Blazes Way With
Effective New Publicity Method

Ed. Note-The following article
was written by Miss Eleanor Daily OF
Talent. one of the best boosters OF
Ashland and the Rogue River valley,
and appeared in the Fargo Forum
and Daily Republican, Fargo, N. d..
paper which has large circulation
throughout Minnesota and the Dako-
tas. Miss Daily has conceived prac-
tical "sure-firc" method of securing
much valuable advertising in the east
and has blazed the way for all former
easterners who have the interest of
their new Oregon home at heart to
follow. No doubt considerable
amount OF labor pleasant work, but
still labor-was entailed in collecting
the names of the former Dakotans
which Miss Daily gathered, but 1t was
by this means that the article was
assured of the prominent space which
II received, for the home papers are
always eager to print news of the
folks who have gone west, and are
willing to run the risk of giving lot
OF free advertising for the western
community at the same time. Miss
Daily's valley Of the Moon" idea
was very we'll handled and will no
doubt be very effective in turning the
thoughts and steps of Dakotans west
ward. Other valleyites should follow
her lead and let the home papers In
the east have like articles. 1t Is ad-
vertising OF tho best kind and cannot
be measured by dollars. Not every
one can paint such word picture as
Miss Daily has achieved, but effective
descriptive matter can be gathered
easily. As fer as that goes, probably
Miss Daily would only be too glad to
have use made of her description.
Beyond being valuable publicity in
the east, the article will be of special
interest to former Dakotans in the
valley and should be the means for
the formation of many new acquaint-
ances and the renewal Of old. Miss
Daily states that probably she has
made few mistakes in initials and
data and that no doubt she has missed
many Of the Dakotans out here, but
had to rely on whatever information
she could gather, socono hand in
many cases.
The Tidings would like to be able
20 reprint like articles clipped from
papers from every section of every
state In the Union. It is an opportun-
ity for some real missionary work by

The following unusually interest
ing letter was sent to The Forum by
Eleanor NJ. Daily, daughter of M. j..
Daily of Moorhead. She writes
Having worked in the "long dis
tance" telephone exchange in your
city, l know what nose for news
you newspaper men have. So just
at this time when the world is read
ing the late Jack London's works
with interest-it occurred to me that
it might be of interest to your read
ers to learn that the Original" "Val-
ley of the Moon" of London's famous
novel is the Rogue River valley,
southern Oregon, wherein number
of former Dakotans now live.
Miss Daily's news letter, which con-
tains information concerning num-
ber of former Dakotans, follows:
In "The Valley of the Moon"
Now and then we pick up a paper
and read that someone from
somewhere" in Dakota or Minnesota
is visiting in Rogue River valley,
southern Oregon, and we are glad,
even though we do not know them
personally, for it brings back mem
ories of the "old home" states which
we have not forgotten. Though we
are many miles apart, we have lit
tie "cozy" corner in our hearts for
that spells Dakota" or
Minnesota"
Among the former Dakotans who
now live in the valley, well and hap
py, and who entertained guests from
North Dakota and her sister state
during the previous year, many OF
the following will be familiar:
