LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
TeIls how to loosen tender corn
or callus so it lifts out
without pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
TO use drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness Is re-
lieved and soon the entire corn or cal
lus, root and all, lifts off with the nm
gers.
Freezone dries the moment it is APP
plied and simply shrivels the corn or cal
ius without infaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very little
at any of the drug stores, but will posi-
lively rid ones feet of every hard or
soft corn or hardened callus. If your
druggist hasn't any freezone he can get
It at any wholesale drug house for you.

OLD.TINIE FIGHTING AT SEA.
Modern Warfare on Water Hasn't
Much on the Past
Vancouver Sum-

People think of the 15-inch guns
on "Lizzie' and ships of her class as
the largest naval guns ever made,
but British war boats carried bigger
guns in the early days of the hard
ware navy. The old lnfleXible had
four S0-ton guns of 16-inch calibre.
Nearly 30 years ago the British navy
had 110-ton guns, 1926 inches in
calibre, and these were the most
ponderous ships guns ever made.
But the 17-inch navy gun is coming.
That reminds us that the world
| went very we'll in the good old days
when ships of war thumped away at
each others wooden topsides with
Long Tom, who was only round
butted son-of-agun of a 32-pounder,
and Toms numerous family, long and
short, the smallest member of which
heaved little thing smaller than
tennis ball. Men fought just as mer-
rily II the old days when the whole
broadside of three-decker was only
so per cent Of the weight of one shell
thrown by the "Lizz!e" at a Turkish
fort OH many-hilled Gallipoli The
old wooden ships hauled alongside
each other at "close quarters" and
the decks were foot deep in blood
when the scuppers choked with the
fragments of shattered humanity.
The plunging round-shot was as cap
able q projectile, muzzle to muzzle,
as the modern shell at 10 miles
range. A two-pound shot could cut
man in two, and what shell could
accomplish more The butchery
was just as satisfactory proportion
ately to the number Of men on the
ships. The records of the old sea
battles show that vessels often lost
SO per cent in killed and wounded,
and sometimes as high as 70 per
cent. In some fights off-shore ships
were sunk or burned without as
much as rat escaping. In view OF
this modern guns and gunnery have
hardly made sea fights any more
boldly than in the days of "sticks
and strings"

BAPTIST CONVENTION OPPOSES
Women Delegates-Anotl,er Chance
Next Yeal-Foreign Field.

New Orleans. May 17.-Women
: members Of the Southern Baptist
churches were denied the right, for
: another year at least, to serve as
, delegates to the annual convention OF
the denomination, by action Of that
body here late to-day. with less
than 600 delegates in the hall, Robt
, II. Coleman, OF Dallas, aroused those
present to keen interest by suddenly
offering for adoption a proposed
amendment to the body's constitu-
ton, making women eligible as dele
gates to the convention.
DR.. J. w. Porter. of Lexington,
Ky, Immediately and vigorously op-
posed the amendment, declaring Mr..
Coleman was proposing, with only
eleven minutes time available for
discussion, to overturn Il provision of
the constitution which had stood for
y years. He moved to table the
amendment. Numerous advocates OF
woman's rights to seats sprang up
and warm debate developed on the
question. Veterans in the denomi-
nation said this was the first time the
question ever had reached the stage
Of discussion on the floor. When put
to 4 vote Dr.. Porter's motion to table
the amendment was lost, 1928 to 24S.
! indicating strong sentiment for CIV
ing women equal privileges with men
in the convention. A parliamentary
tangle over Interpretation of require
ments for amending the constitution
occupied an hours time, and finally
the convention adopted motion to
refer the amendment to a committee
OF five, with instructions to report on
it at the next years convention, and
the women lost their chance to serve
as delegates at this time.
T. B. Ray, of Richmond, for the
Foreign Mission Board, reported the
Southern Baptists have 458 churches
In foreign fields, one-fourth Of which
are self. supporting. The 47,161 for
eign members last year gave $780,

fourth the amount the Southern Bap-
lists expended in their foreign fields.

HUNDRED MILLION TO RUSSIA.
Sign that this Country Trusts New
Government to Stand by Allies.

Washington, May 16.--The United
States to-day loaned Russia $780,
100000. The money was loaned to
be spent as needed without stipula-
ton or understanding further than
that Russia stands back Of the obli-
cation. will make it good and will
spend the money in this country un-
der the supervision Of a representa-
tive Of the Treasury Department or
commission to be named by the
American government. The last stip-
ulatiol was made in spirit of CO.
operation without intending to en-
barrass the Russian government or to
curtail it's purchasing powers, but
with the end in view that Russia
will secure the maximum result for
the money it is to spend.
IN this respect Russia stands on an
equal footing with other entente gov
ernments to which the United States
is making loans, the only distinction
being that in application Of the pro-
gram Russia heads the list. Great
Britain, France, Italy and other bene-
ficiaries Of American loans soon will
follow, as plans for mobilizing in
American banks all purchases to be
made here by the allies are rapidly
nearing completion. The purchas-
ing board for all the allies. it was in

To-day's loan to Russia, her first
participation in the huge sum which
the United States will lend the allies,
was made, it was authoritatively
stated, first to help the Russian gov
ernment obtain supplies which it
needs here. and secondarily as an
earnest manifestation to the Russian
people that the United States places
no credence in rumors that Russia
is contemplating a separate peace
with Germany.

City Consumer and Farmer.
columbia State.)

The State agrees with the thought
running through the letter, printed
yesterday, of s. j. Thompson, of
Greenwood, that it is no duty of far
mers to raise more food in order that
prices may be reduced to city con-
sumers-though we think that he is
mistaken in supposing the agitation
that Is IN progress is In their especial
interest. Land being plentiful in the
United State, the advice that the city
consumer who complains "get out in
the country and raise his own sup
pies is entirely good and sound and
no city dweller too lazy or too timid
or too nice to pull bell cord over
a mule" has right to murmur
about the price Of potatoes. The
State regards the prevailing high
prices Of foodstuffs, in so far as they
increase the farmers profits, as a
boon to the people of the United
States. The movement from the
farms to the towns has been too great
but as the Inducements increase the
movement back to the farm will set
in. The day has never been in the
United States that the farmer receiv-
ed more for his product than he de-
served and there will be more farm
ers and more farm products Just so
rapidly as the rewards of husbandry
shall appear more alluring.
The main question for the farmer
to ask himself and answer is, What
will it pay me most to produce this
year?
No one in South Carolina has ad-
vfsed farmers to abandon cotton or to
make 1T secondary crop.
Farmers and their live stock must
eat.
All foodstuffs are high.
City consumers will at least 20
barefoot before they will go hungry
and there are many garments that
they can lay aside, in case OF the
prevalence OF famine prices for bread
and meat.
City consumers will get along
without clothes before they will deny
themselves their usual ration.
If most Of the money OF the city
consumers shall be spent for victuals
there will be less money to spend for
| cloth, or cotton.
If the war shall be prolonged, the
market for'cotton will grow weaker
If the farmers Of the South should
produce nothing but cotton it is
highly probable that they would find
in little while that their cotton seed
was more valuable than the lint. One
can't eat tho lint.

I. VALUE OF CRIMSON CLOVER AS
A CLOVER CROP:
Crimson clover is no doubt the
best winter leguminous crop to
plant in the orchard, as we'll as OH
the farm. The acreage in GRIM
son clover in South Carolina is
it's great value as a soil builder
is fast becoming appreciated.
II. TIME TO PLANT:
Crimson clover may be planted
from August 18th to November
10Th, but best results will be OBJ
tanned from seed sown between
September 18th and October 18th.
III. AMOUNT OF SEED TO SOW
PER ACRE
Twelve pounds Of cleaned seed,
or twenty-four pounds Of seed In
the bur, por acre will give good
seeding. When sown as late as
October 18th, would advise SOW.
ing fifteen pounds Of cleaned seed,
or thirty pounds of seed in the
bur.
~. COST OF SEED PER ACRE:
The price of crimson clover
seed was very high during the
past season, due to the increased
demand for Feed, and to the cut
ting off Of practically all importa.
tion OF clover seed from Europe.
Even at the high price of $500
per bushel, the cost Of seed for
one acre Of crimson clover is only
$3.50.
V. SAVE YOUR OWN SEED AND
SOME TO SELL YOUR NEIGH
BOR
Four hundred and fifty pounds
Of crimson clover seed in the bur
may be harested per acre, which
will be sufficient to SOW fourteen
acres. If the seed are sold at
seven cents per pound (the price
last falD, this would give q gross
return Of $3.50 for the seed per
acre.
vi. COST OF SAVING SEED:
Three men and one mule with
a home made seed harvester like
the one shown in the accompany
ing illustration can harvest from
one to two acres Of crimson clover
seed per day.
VII. COST OF HOME MADE HAIR
VESTER:
The seed harvester { Fig. ~ H.
lustrated above was made on tn,
farm In one day by two men. The
total cost Of this machine, includ-
ing labor was $3.50. 1t was made
from scrap material picked up
about the farm.
VIII. STORING OF SEED:
The seed must be dry when
gathered, otherwise they will not
strip from the stems easily. The

seed are removed from the har.
vester and Immediately placed in
oat sacks. They should then be
summed for a few days until the
seed have thoroughly dried, and
then stored In the barn. A good
plan Is to suspend the bags from
the ceiling. This will get them
out Of the way, and give FREQ
circulation Of air about the seed.
which will prevent any possibility
OF their moulding.
K. A SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE
WAY OF INOCULATlNG SEED:
Where clover has not previous
~ grown, 1t Is necessary to ino-
culate the seed before sowing. Se-
cure a bushel of soil from land
where crimson clover has been
grown successfully, and place 1t
In water.tight barrel. Then adj
about thirty gallons Of water, and
stir thoroughly. The seed are
then placed in an oat sack and
plunged several times into the
water until they are thoroughly
wet. Remove the seed from tho
sack, spread them out on a clean
floor, and allow them to dry in
the shade for about two hours.
The seed are thon sown and the
land narrowed Immediately.
would advise sowing the seed on
freshly narrowed land late IN the
afternoon. or on cloudy day.
=. HAIRY VETCH AND CLOVER:
Hairy vetch and crimson clover
sown together made all ideal GOV.
er crop. Fig. II. shows a field
Of vetch and clover sown Septem.
bcr 20th on land where neither
clover nor vetch had been grown
before. The photograph was
made when the vetch and clover
were In bloom. The seed were in
oculated as described above. Eight
pounds Of clover seed and ten
pounds Of vet'yh were sown per
acre.
I. WHEN TO TURN UNDER:
1t Is necessary to turn under
clover when the soil Is in good
condition, regardless Of tho stage
Of the clover at the time. would
advise turning under the clover
as soon after blooming as soil
conditions will permit, retaining
sufficient acreage for seed pur-
poses. II cotton or corn is to fol-
low clover, it will, of course, be
necessary to turn the land as ear.
ly in March as soil conditions will
permit. Seed sown in September
will give heavy cover crop by
the 18th of March.
