From the Ends
of the Earth

From the ends of the earth they
come!
Now arrives letter from Maya
saki, Japan, from a Tacoman,
First Lieut.. Charles Fee, who is
with the Russian railroad service
corps of the United States army.
The letter was received here By
Mrs. Fee.
When he wrote Lieut.. Fee was
staying at the Nagasaki hotel with
127 other engineers awaiting or
ders to proceed to Vladivostok
thru Siberia, where they are to do
reconstruction work in the rail-
ways and bridges that have been
destroyed.
He wrote that because of the
unsettled Russian situation that ii
might be impossible for them to
go In, and that IL the U. S. en-
gineers should enter Russia it
would be in the wake of the Japa-
nese army, who may go to Vladi-
vostok to protect the large ac-
commodations Of allied munitions
there.

EMPLOYEES MUST
keep C0RNS OFF
Says they destroy effic-
iency but can be lifted
right out now.

Many large retail establish
ments now insist that every en-
ployee have cornless feet, be-
cause one cannot appear pleasant
before patron or be fully eff
cient when the brain is constantly
remindful Of these painful pests.
The simplest method known to
get relief is to apply a few drops
of freezone directly upon the ten
der, aching corn, which promptly
relieves the soreness and soon
the entire corn, root and all, lifts
out without pain.
A quarter ounce OF freezone
will cost very little at any drug
store, but is sufficient to re-
move every hard or soft corn or
callus from ones feet.
This drug is gummy but dries
In a moment and seems to just
shrivel up the corn without in
flaming or even Irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin.
This should interest many men
and women here.

'Smatter With You All?

For two days we have not re-
ceived one letter from a soldier n
France. Won't someone please
tell me what ! have done? But no
matter what l said or did, am
mighty sorry for it and will never
do it again il my friends will only
come back and not be mad and
bring me more letters.
Surely some of you folks are
getting mail just as regularly as
you have been before. Don't be
selfish with your Sammy's letter
but bring the interesting ones in
so that those who do not get let
tiers from the fighters may at least
get tn nj secondhand and expert
ence little of the thrill that is
yours when you open that warlike
looking miss've bearing the
threatening words, Opened by
Censor" across the front.

Omitted Press Leased Wire.)

AUBURN, Cal, March 11.-F.

ago, was in Colfax today to look
over his realty interests here.
He arrived from the east Satur-

owned.
You're dead" said the tenant.
THAT so?" said Schmidt. I'll
have to see about that.
So he called on the county re-

divorced wife, proving him dead,
was shown him. On the strength
of the affidavit the property had
been distributed to the widow"
and since had been sold by her.

To the Living Flag

Can II be that thou insensate are,
oh flag, so loved and cher
ished?
That armies countless strong have
fought for thee and persisted =?
That armies countless thousands
strong, by thy dumb call
elated,
Again would spring to arms for
thee, tho knowing death
awaited?
Nay, quivers life thru every fold,
each wave and undulation
That measures with its rise and
fall the heartthrobs of a ma
ton.
Aye, in thy folds a century old,
a century's life is surging.
And over all waves a clarion call
to blood that needs no
urging.
Life thrills thy red, in courage
bred; the purity of thy white
ness;
Thy field of blue, in truths own
hue; thy stars of dazzling
brightness
And courage, truth and purity,
thus in thy colors blended,
Have fired the hearts and nerved
the arms which have thy
cause defended.
So, children of the men of old
who first unfurled to glory
The beauty of the stars and
stripes, now famed in song
and story.
To save the flag their blood bap-
tized when we were born a
nation,
We pledge our life-blood and our
sons, in solemn conservation.
MRS. CHAS. M. HARL.

the Horse Kicked

One morning a Swede of the
remount station at Camp Lewis
mounted a stubborn horse. lie
tried every way to make the horse
go, but it refu sed to move an inch.
Finally his temper got the best
Of him and he began to swear in
Swedish. Immediately the horse
gave terrible kick and sent the
fellow flying to the ground.
With blank expression on his
face the Swede looked at the horse
and said, "Qell, tank / swear at
no more horses"
