YES! LIFT A CORN OFF WITHOUT
PAIN!

Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up a corn OF callus so 1t lifts on
with fingers
You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer Wear the
shoes that nearly killed you before
says this Cincinnati authority, be-
cause few drops of freezone applied
directly on a tender, aching corn OF
callus, stops soreness at once ana
soon the corn or hardened eallus
loosens so it can be lifted out, ROOT
and ALL without pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs
very little at any drug store, but VIII
positively take off very hard or SOL
corn or callus. This should ns
tried. as it is inexpensive and is sara
not to irritate the surrounding skin
If your druggist hasn't any free
zone tell him to get a small bottle
for you from his wholesale drug
house. 1t is fine stuff and acts Ike
a charm every time.

County Farmer
Buys Angus Cattle

J. A. R~uggenberg, of Rec Heights,
South Dakota, was in Mahaska county,
last week assembling a good sized
herd of thoroughbred Aberdeen Angus
cattle with which to stock his South
Dakota farm. He picked UP about
twenty-five head Of the cattle at vari-
u points In the county.
Each and every animal taken was
pure bred stock, registered or eligible
to registry. MI. Ruggenberg herded
his property at Oskaloosa and it will
be shipped from local stock yards this
evening. The herd will make two full
a loads. 1t is said to be the largest
and best shipment Of the kind and to
represent the most money in a single
shipment OF this breed ever sent from
the county. Mr.. Ruggenberg during
his stay In town was a guest at the
home Of his brother, John Il. Ruggen-
berg. No. 1907 South Fourth Street.

Value Farm Products
And Land Values

Successful Farming" n of the
big farm journals, issues a compare
tive table of crops produced in various
states, among other things showing
the value of principal products, as
follows: Corn, wheat oats barley,
rye, buckwheat, fax, potatoes, hay.
Value Of Crops Per Farm
Minnesota, lit acre farm. IS 1,347.S5
Wisconsin, lit acre farm. S20.09
Iowa, 156 acre farm. ....... 1,360.10
Nebraska, 297 acre farm.... 1,66S.20
South Dakota, 1886 acre farm 1,S75.07
AS will be noted from the above the
average size of farms vary in the
different states from 1876 in Iowa to
1886 acres in South Dakota. These
figures give a productive value to each
Iowa acre of $S.65, and to each South
Dakota acre a productive value of
$3.50. In other words, the productive
value of a South Dakota farm Is al
most two-thirds of the productive
value of an Iowa farm. Thus the 5000
per acre Iowa farm equals $3.50 per
acre for a South Dakota farm. Iowa
farms have sold as high as $500 per
acre.
OF course, Iowa is granted advant-
ages over South Dakota in the way OF
development, greater population, more
railroads, etc. These things add to
her value, in addition to the acre pro-
ducts. But we can allow $50 per acre
for these advantages, and still logi-
cally claim that South Dakota's farms
are worth an average of 800 per ere.
There is very little difference Of ad-
vantage in climate to either state, and
today traffic facilities have practically
wiped out any differences In trans
porting all products to market. These
facts force home the conclusion that
South Dakota people themselves dc
not realize or appreciate the value Of
their farms. compared to the farms Of
these neighboring states. where land
is selling for two or three times the
price Of South Dakota land.

Daily papers in New York, Chicago
and Minneapolis make statements that
unusual numbers of young men are
procuring licenses to marry in those
cities, for the purpose Of avoiding
enlistment. The superstition is cur
rent that only single men will be
called upon to serve. 1t is possible
the first call may consist largely of
single. men, but what war was ever
prosecuted with single men alone?
The chances are that IL the war lasts
any length of time other calls will
be made for men up to the age of 40
years, and include both married and
single. 1t is reported that one young
mar from a neighboring town, who
came to Miller to be married last week
openly admitted that he intended to
avoid enlistment by getting married.
