New Corn Remover Causes
Big Run on Drug Stores

Since the virtues of IceMint as a corn
remover became known in this country
Druggists have been having an extra
ordinary demand for this product and it
is predicted that this summer women viii
wear smaller and prettier shoes than ever
The fact that this new discovery which
is made from a japanese product viii
actually remove corns-roots and alI-and
without the slightest pain or soreness is
Of course mainly responsible for its large
and increasing sale.
You apply just a little on a tender
aching corn and instantly the soreness is
relieved, and soon the corn is so shriveled
that it may be lifted out with the fingers
root and ALL 1t is a clean, creamy sntw
white, non poisonous substance and will
never inflame irritate the most tender
skin. Cutting or pairing corns too often
produces blood poisoning and people are
warned to stop it. Just ask in any drug
store for little ice-mint and you can
quickly end your corn misery and make
your feet feel cool and fine. There is
nothing better.-Adv.

KILL ALL HAY WORMS
Now Is the Time to Burn Old Stack
Bottoms

Manhattan, Kan. June 5.-Clean
the hay NOW and burn the old stack
bottoms as a safeguard against dam
age to the new alfalfa crop by the
clover or alfalfa hay worm, is the sug-
gestion given by George A. Dean, pro-
fessor of entomology in the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
Glover hay worms destroy many
tons of alfalfa each year" said Pro-
fessor Dean. THE work of these pests
is often mistaken for a mold.
These insects have increased in
numbers in Kansas due to the extern
sive growing of alfalfa. They are
found in almost all parts of the United
States where alfalfa, clover or timothy
is grown.
1.-The worms or larvae usually are
noticed near the bottom of the stack
but in two year old hay they may be
all thru the stack. The larvae are
active and of a whitish to brown color
with the head more or less reddish.
They spin silken webs in the hay and
sometimes suspend themselves by a
thread. The worms work in the hay
during the fall, winter and early
spring. In the late spring they pupate
and spin a thin silken cocoon about
themselves"

Registration Preliminary Step
in Great Army Plan.
OF 10 Million Signing Up, First
Increment, $4,000.

Then Impartial Boards Will
Pass Upon Exemptions.
Every Citizen a Detective to
Report AgitatOrs, Slackers.

Washington, June 5.-Amcrlca is
stepping forward today to do her part
in making the world safe for democ-
racy In every city and town, in the
most remote valley hamlet and at the
widest mountain crossroads, ten mil
lion sons of liberty are inscrlbinS their
names on the honor roll of ages, that
the free government for which their
fathers died may not perish from the
earth.
To register is not to be drafted. That
is another step in the great plan. AS
each man registers today he Will be
numbered and at a later time the
numbers will be chosen for service by
lot. Not until then will any man know
whether he has been drawn for the
first Increment of $4,000 men who
probably will be called to the colors
for training early in september before

France or the trenches of outraged
Belgium.
Long Arm Of the Law Busy.
After the men have been drafted.
the question of exemptions Will come
UP TO be decided by fair and Impartial
boards. They will determine whether
physical or mental defects debar a
man from service or whether the de-
lendence of others on him or the
country's need of him in civil life
make it necessary to exempt him from
service at the front. In the mean
time, today's duty is registration.
The long arm of the federal law is
reaching out to seize those who seek
to evade this first duty to which all
have been called and those who, by
council or influence, seek to prevail
upon others to shirk it.
The department of justice. for the
time being. has put aside all other
work: the great machinery of the fed
eral government has concentrated to-
day upon enforcement of the law.
Citizens have been called upon as in
diViduals and vigilance committees to
report any violations of the law; and
while THE machinery of the free ma
tional elections is being utilized to ac-
complish the registration, the entire
fabric of the civil government is being
employed to see that it is done

MUZZLE SWEET TOOTH
United States Faces Deficit in Sugar
Supply-Cuba Crop Poor.

Washington, June 5.-Amer1ca 5
sweet tooth is in danger
According to information submitted
to congress by Herbert Hoover. food
administrator. the sugar supply of the
United States will have been exhaust
ed nv the middle of October and there
will be no large shipments to arrive
before the end of December.
1.-The outlook for sugar is very
Door" said Hoover. The Cuban
crop may be down million and a
quarter nd there is a scarcity of SUI
gar in the world owing to the decrease
in beet sugar production all over Eu-
rope There is also a greater demand
and a greater pull by the allies on
such sugar as is available and they
have an equal pull on the Cuban mar
kets and other markets with our
selves"
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1917-06-05
Eliminate Allies Competition.

Hoover believes the high price of
sugar is stimulating the beet sugar
planting in western states but the har-
vest, tho it will be large. makes up
for nothing like the diversion facing
US from Cuba"
Hoover insisted today that if con-
gress gives the food control depart
ment sufficient powers there must be
a coordination of the purcha sing
agents of the allies +'to cease compe-
tition for that sugar as far as we can"
He urged arrangements for hauling
Java sugar to the United States so as
to release the Cuban sugar to Europe

TRADE CONDITIONS
REMAIN UNSETTLED
Price Fixing Situation One Of Prime
Factors In Causing Business
Uncertainty. -

Aside from the Industries whose
phenomenal activity is directed to-
ward supplying war needs. business Is
somewhat hating and unsettled. One
reason for this has been the uncer-
taInty of the scale Of taxation which
would be finally determined on. there
having been at one time a fear that
the imports would be virtually con-
fscatory. Such a course could only
result In checking expansion, destroy
ing initiative, and Gripping enterprise.
But, even with this apprehension al
iayed there are other factors TO cause
hesitation. PoSs bly, the chief of these
is the settled belief that the prices of
things to eat and articles OF wear,
both directly affecting the general pub
lie, are unwarrantly inflated and must
III due course come down Coupled
with this is the notion that this price
imitation must cause restriction of buy
ing, of which there have already been
some premonitory signs. Usually
large crops, such as are now virtually
assured, and hish prices obtainable
for them, indicate general business
prosperity. And this will probably bel
the case now through those parts of
the country where the residents de-
rive their incomes from crops of grain
ana cotton. But, with commodities
prices increased beyond the raises in
wages, the ultimate consumer is likely
- put into practice economies that are
bound to have their effect on business
