CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You simply say to the drug store
man, "Give me a Quarter of aR ounce
of freezone." This will cost very little
but is sufficient to remove every hard
or soft corn from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether com
pound applied directly upon tender.
aching corn should relieve the sore
ness instantly. and soon the entire corn
root and all, dries up and can be lifted
out with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet OF
corns was introduced by Cincinnati
man, who says that, while freezone Is
sticky, it dries in a moment, and sim
ply shrivels up the corn without In
flaming or even irritating the surround
ing tissue or skin.

LONG STAPLE COTTON
PROVES VERY PROFITABLE

Especial Dispatch to The Journa1)
DECATUR, Ga. Jan. 22.-L. r. Scott,
of Decatur, last year planted a few
long staple cotton seed in his garden,
which proved very prolific in fruit, and
bore staple of extraordinary length
and fineness. Mr.. Scott is satisfied that
long-staple cotton is well adapted 20
this section, and in this connection it
will be of interest 10 DeKalb farmers
to know that c. c. Neal, of Ashland, has
just made a shipment of long-staple
raised on his Franklin county farm,
which was sold to a South Carolina
mill as good middling for 26 cents per
pound, with short staple of same was
quoted at IS cents.

nitrogen, 20 pounds of phosphoric acid,
and "a pounds of potash. A ton OF
choice cottonseed meal will contain
about 141.2 pounds of nitrogen, 53.i
pounds of phosphoric acid, and 35.l
pounds of potash. One would need
therefore, to buy velvet bean meal at
about one-half the price of cottonseed
meal to afford to use it for fertilizing
purposes. If 1000 pounds of 16 per
cent acid phosphate were mixed with
1000 pounds of velvet bean meal you
would obtain a formula containing about
per cent of nitrogen, ga per cent of
potash and 8 per cent of phosphoric
acid. This, of course, would make a
fairly good formula for use on some
of our farm crops 1t would naturally
be low in nitrogen and potash. The
latter fact we cannot help, but in view
of the necessity OF Fastening the ma
turity of cotton under boil weevn con-
ditions we believe that more nitrogen
should be used, say to per cent.
There is no reason why you should
not use mixture of velvet beans and
acid phosphate under crops justIas you
would use an old standard mixture of
1922 or 9-2-S-1.

EXPECTS OLD GLORY
 TO WAVE IN FRANCE
Minister Yiviani Says America
 Will Help Liberate World

Paris, March 30.-Rene Viviani, formerly prime minister and now minister of justice, represented the French government at a luncheon at the American club yesterday. Will liam Graves Sharp, the American ambassador, and hundred other Americans in Paris were present.
 M. Viviani in proposing a toast to the health of President Wilson, took occasion to say that he represented not only himself but his colleagues in the ministry. Alluding to the possible entrance of the United States into the war, M. Viviani spoke of the deep appreciation of France for what Americans already had done for his country. American good will and American service for France, he add ed, had been of great support to him as premier during the days when inn mense responsibilities rested upon him and his associates in the cabinet.
 "As sons of your fathers contin- ued M. Viviani, 1T knew from the first that 1t would be impossible for you to remain aloof from the strife in which wo,, were not only defending our soil but also were liberating the world"
 After a eulogy of Americans, their spirit, their ideals, their valor and their generous feeling toward the world, M. Viviani said they were com ing into the struggle to save Europe and the world and to join in a victory for their ideals.
 What is this victory?" exclaimed M. Viviani. "It is the end of Prussian militarism. Nevermore can that re- turn to invade, to burn, to kill, to violate, to assassinate, to ravage and to oppress This is not to be peace for one people, but for all peoples peace for the weak against the preda- tory strong, the children of our chil- dren must be free from the shadow of oppression"
 M. Viviani then mentioned the in- debtedness of France to the United States for armaments which had kept the war going. Tt is largely. thanks to you," he said, "that France has had the means with which to fight"
 The minister said he expected to see American soldiers fighting in France alongside the French soldiers. He expected to see the American flag symbolizing in France the community of ideals for which both countries lived He concluded by saying that together France and the United States would have victory.
