The Man Of Leisure.

There was a time when a man
who had nothing to do, that is
to say the man who could live
without working, was looked up
on as fortunate being, and the
millions who tOiled and slaved
from morn to night envied him
his leisure. But things are differ
ent now. The man OF leisure is mo
longer envied but rather pitied.
for there is no more lrksome task
on earth than having nothing to
do. Especially is the task OF the
lounger a difficult one in small
cities and towns. In such places
as these, time becomes q burden
on his back, and many become
nervous wrecks for the want OF
something to occupy their time
and attention. Work, and plenty
OF it is the safety valve ofhuman
existence.
Let any one accustomed to
reasonably hard and steady
work, whether it be manual or
mental, be given three or four
holidays at a time, and on the
third day he IS well nigh distrac-
ted-that is, unless he experience
es a complete change of ENRON
ment and scenery. How much
more tiresome and enervating,
then, must be the life of the man
who does not need to, and there
fore does not work For him the
hours come in never-ending.same-
ness; day follows highland night
follows day. The months and
years pass by, and he goes out
at last with no accomplishment:
nothing left behind him but a
memoly-of a "goOd spender,
perhaps,
But for the man who works
day in and day out there is al
ways a goal, for is he notaccom'
plishing something? For him the
time passes all too quickly; night
is at hand ere his day has scarce
ly begun. He knows that there is
something more for him in life
than the frittering away OF emp.
ty hours and the following of an
aimless existence. lie may not be
blessed with an abundance OF
this worlds goods, and may nev
er know the ease and luxury
which riches are supposed to
bring. but, as a general rule, the
man who works and crcditably
discharges his mission in h c
world, knows a large measure Of
happiness. He is never "bored,' .
nor does he ever get the chance
to "feel like dying OF ennui." No.

P. Arthur at a Masonic Picnic
held in Boone on Sept, 30, 1916,
which we hope will be enjoyed
by his many friends and admir-
ers in Watauga. This address be-
ing the last he ever uttered:
"What is Masonry? 1t is prob
ably the Oldest and broadestand
broadcast religion in the world,
and the simplest. At it's shrine
all'religions may worship an d
meet upon. the level and part up
on the square. 1t seeks no prose-
lytes and recognizes no rivals.
It's priests and ministers ask no
reward, save only that W h ic h
comes from q clear conscience OF
duty done. Serene in it's unselfish
devotion to the welfare OF Others
it welcomes all orders whose OBJ
iects are benevolence and bene-
faction. For God has been it's
dwelling place in all generations.
1t does not seek to interfere with
the welfare OF any other institu-
tion-legal, social, political, reli-
gious. Its foundation stone is
charity, or brotherly love. No
good mason can be a bad man,
though, unfortunately, bad men
may claim to be good Masons.
"Masonry claims to have ex-
listed almost 1000 years longer
than the Christian era. dating
back to the twilight dawn OF
time. The open eye seen on Mo-
sonic pins, denotes the all-seeing
eve OF God. The eye is their light,
1t is as universal as humanity
and as broad as charity.
while Masonry is an oath
bound organization there isnoth'
ing in it's tenets or practices to
interfere with ones duty to his
God or bis fellow man. There is
probably no mora beautiful rltu-
al than that Of Masonry. it is
transmitted solely by word OF
mouth from generation to gener-
alton. No one who has passed
through it's different degrees can
forget it's significance orits histo-
ry. Its language is the simple

John McGraw Pleads For
Men to Enlist in Army

New York. May 24.-John McGraw,
manager of the New York Giants,
is doing his bit. Standing on a
rough wooden platform in a build
ing in Chambers street, he pleaded for
army, navy and marine corps enlist
ments. The baseball leader was cheer
ed by the crowd. Scattered about the
room were many of his players. Harry
Hampstead, president of the club, had
seat on the platform.
II know the baseball fans are will
ing to make a fight" said McGraw,
because l have watched them long
enough to find that out. We are not
making this fight because we want to
take anything from anybody. We are
making it because we stand before
the world as the one country which
believes that every man should have
something to say as to how he is gov
erned. That means a free country
We are lighting for freedom just as
much now as when our great-grand-
fathers fought for it right in this
enighborhood in 1876.
I'VE figure it is a fight for the
greatest thing in the world-a mans
personal liberty-and l don't know of
a ball player who isn't ready to go
to finish on that account. Every
one of us is first of all for liberty and
first of all agai nfor our own coun-
try, the United States"

HIGH Heels PUT
CORNS ON TOES
Tells women how to dry up q
corn so it lifts out
without pain.

Modern high heeled footwear
buckles the toes and produces corns,
and many of the thousands of hos
pital cases of infection and lockjaw
are the result of womans suicidal
habit of trying to cut away these
painful pests.
For little cost there can be OBJ
tanned at any pharmacy q quarter
of an ounce of a drug called freezone,
which is sufficient to rid ones feet
of every hard or soft corn or callus
without the slightest danger or in
convenience.
A few drops applied directly upon
the tender, aching corn stops the
soreness and shortly the entire corn,
root and all, lifts right out. 1t is d
sticky substance, which dries the mo-
ment it is applied. and thousands of
men and women use 1t because the
corn shrivels up and comes out with
out inflaming or even irritating tue
surrounding tissue or skin. Cut this
out and try it If your corns bother
you.

For Skin Irritation

There is one safe, dependable treat
ment that relieves itching torture and
skin irritation almost instantly and that
cleanses and soothes the skin.
Ask any druggist for a 25c or 81 bot
tic of zemo and apply it as directed.
Soon you will find irritations, pimples,
black heads, eczema, blotches, ringworm
and similar skin troubles disappear.
A little zemo, the penetrating, salts
flying liquid, is all that is needed, for
it banishes all skin eruptions and makes
the skin soft, smooth and healthy.
