ARBITRATE PRICES
IF PUBLISHERS AGREE
Mil Managers Make Remark
able Offer to Federal Trade
Commission

Washington, Feb. 16.-The federal
trade commission, following months of
investigation, today answered re-
markable offer by news print paper
manufacturers to ''arbitrate prices" by
declaring the alleged paper shortage is
s'largely artificial, the prices were ex-
toritionate and free competition had
ceased to exist. "
The announcement was made late
this afternoon by the commission.
Whether or not the proposition will be
accepted will be decided later. The
commission merely announced it will
hold the matter under advisement for
several days.
The statement, in part, reads:
| aThe offer, with its promises of
lower prices and more equitable dis
tribution, not only means the saving
of millions to the great publishers OF
the country, but gSverts the absolute
ruin that now threatens hundreds Of
the smaller publishers.
efThe proposition is the outcome Of
the news print paper investigation that
] the federal trade commission has been
! conducting for the last eight months.
AS result Of public hearings and the
work Of economists, accountants and
field experts, the commission reached
the conclusion that the paper shortage
was largely artificial, that prices were
extortionate and that free competition
had ceased to exist
The proposition was submitted by the
manufacturers, if accepted by the COM
mission and then by the publishers,
will result only in gentleman IS agree
ment between the parties.
1t was unofficially ahnonnced by
the commission that the manufacturers
and publishers of Canada have en-
tered into similar agreement whereby
the maximum price Of news print paper
, in Canada was fixed at two and one
s half cents per pound.

/ ton to say what the price of paper t.

DOESN'T COST MUCH
TO TRY IT ANYWAY
Tells How to Take Soreness
From a Corn and Lift It
Right Out

Hospital records show that every
time you cut corn you invite lock
Jaw OF blood poison, which is needless,
says Cincinnati authority, who tells
YOU that a quarter ounce Of drug
called freezone can be obtained at lit
tie cost from the drug store but is suS,
ficient to rid ones feet Of every hard
or soft corn or callus.
You simply apply few drops of this
on a tender, aching corn and the sore
ness is instantly relieved. Shortly the
entire corn can be lifted out, root and
all, without pain.
This drug is sticky but dries at once
and is claimed to just shrivel up any
corn without inflaming or even irritat
ing the surrounding tissue or skin.
If your wife wears high heels sht
win be glad to know Of this.
