Gee. amt it just awful Gertie?
When you register to vote you have to
give your exact age"
Too bad. but it's the cold, cold truth
Women have been given the right TO
vote, but no exceptions have been
made for them. Those thoughtless
men In indianapolis didn't change the
election law which requires the age OF
all voters.
viii Learn Carries Age.
Now Mary, who for years has been
etching" to know how old Carrie Is,
will find out. OF course Carrie is
years older than she pretends. And
Mrs. Brown won't act so gay and
skittish when she knows her age is
known to everyone.
Why not let Angie, the village COS
sip, while hanging around the polls,
take the ages of al, women register
ing? Then she can get out directory
OF ages.
When at the knitting club. the ques-
ton arises whether Mrs. Smith or Mrs.
Johnson shall be sent to the district
meeting, just consult the directory
You know age is always first. Thus

If the voter is past twenty-one, no one

will have to lock up their vanity IN

Vegetables Injured
By June Weather;
Small Grains Grow
BY GEORGE c. BRYANT
u. S. Field Agent.)

INDIANAPOLIS, June II. - The
month of June as whole has been
helpful to wheat, oats and grass crops,
but corn, fruit and vegetables did not
fare so well, rain, hail and tornadoes
having done considerable damage in
some sections.
In the south part of the State the
wheat shows marked improvement,
but not SO much in other sections.
Some fields are quite thin, but the
plant is strong and thrifty, and yields
of from four to forty bushels per acre
are indicated. In the northwest Sec
ton and in the south part of the State
the oats acreage is not materially
changed, but in the wheat growing
sections of the north the increase is
very noticeable.
Rains during the last two weeks
have been very beneficial to the oats
crop and fields are now showing up n
fine shape. Rye shows about the same
as last month. The harvest will start
in about three weeks in the south part
Of the State. The bay crop and pas

IT WORKS! TRY 1T
Tells how to loosen a sore, tender
corn so it lifts out without pain.

Good news spreads rapidly and
druggists here are kept busy dispens-
ing freezone, the ether discovery of a
Cincinnati man, which is said to loos-
en- any corn so it lifts out with the fin
gers.
Ask at any pharmacy for quarter
ounce of freezone, which will cost very
little, but is said to be sufficient to rid
ones feet Of every hard or soft corn
or callus.
You apply just a few drops on the
tender, aching corn and instantly the
soreness is relieved, and soon the
corn is so shriveled that it lifts out
without pain. 1t is sticky substance
which dries when applied and never
inflames or even irritates the adjoin-
ing tissue.
This discovery will prevent thou
sands of deaths annually from lock-
jaw and infection heretofore resulting
from the suicidal habit of cutting
cornS.

escorted from police headquarters to
the county jail last night, according to
statement made by Officer Werger
The police say the man Adkins re
ferred to is Harry Kelly, a railroad
man, who has been boarding at the
home of Mrs. Reser.
Adkins returned to Richmond from
Detroit, he says, last November and
took room at the home of Mrs. Reser,
who, it is said, had hoped to effect a
reconciliation between Adkins and her
daughter.
Friday of last week Mrs. Adkins
went to Piqua, O., and Adkins believed
she was accompanied by Kelly, OF
whom Adkins, it is said, was intensely
jealous, believing Kelly was the man
responsible for his domestic troubles
which eliminated in the divorce court
Awaiting Her Return.
When Mrs. Adkins returned to her
home, about 9:45 Sunday evening, she
found her former husband awaiting
her in the living room. 1t is said Ad-
kins Immediately began to make
charges against her. The woman re-
moved her hat and coat and sat down
in rocking chair.
A minute later, it is said, Adkins
drew revolver and fired at her, the
ball entering her chest. Staggering
to her feet Mrs. Adkins screamed, "My
God, Jim. Don't, for Gods sake, don't"
Adkins fired a second time and his
victims body crumpled to the floor.
Without going near the body Adkins
hurried from the house and went to
police headquarters. The woman s
mother was not home at the time of
the shooting and 1t is believed Adkins
and his former wife were alone in the
house.
People living in the south half of the
residence occupied by Mrs. Reser and
her daughter heard the two shots fired
and the woman's screams. They called
the police.
Officers start.
Officer John Rottinghaus arrived at
the scene of the murder just few
minutes after Adkins had fled from the
house. He notified headquarters and
Sergeant Staubach had just assigned
several officers to search for the MUIR
derer when Adkins rushed into head
quarters.
Adkins and his fomer wife were
married in Covington, KY, in 1918.
She was awidow. Domestic troubles
soon resulted, it is said, Adkins charg-
ing that his wife had received at
tentions from another man. As a re-
suit of strike at the Reliance foundry
Adkins left Richmond over year ago
and while he was in Muncie, Mrs. Ad-
kins filed suit for divorce, charging
cruel and inhuman treatment, and she
received the divorce.
Before going to Muncie. Adkins
states. he found his wife and the man
he accuses of breaking up his home at
his house. There was trouble and the
police were called. Adkins returned
to Richmond last November and has
lived since that time in the same house
with his divorced wife and the man he
charges with having alieniated Mrs.
Adkins affections.

Used To Buy Bond

WATERLOO, Iowa, June 11.-At the
grand council of the Iowa United Com
mercial Travellers sixteen years ago,
F. w. Houck of Sheldon, lost his wal
let and his friends as practical joke
instructed all the banks not to cash a
draft for him. He was sadly in need
of a shave. A fund was raised for
this purpose but in the meantime
Houck had succeeded in cashing his
draft. The fund was turned into the
treasury and maintained by annual
contributions of a penny from each
member. 1t has passed the $4,000
mark and today the council voted to
invest the fund in the Liberty loan.
