Plans for the Fourth
Atlantic City has not matured its
plans for the Fourth. Last year 1t
offered as "A spectacular novelty a
human flag spectacle in which 10000
participated. For this year a great
patriotic meeting has been proposed and
efforts will be made to procure speakers
who will bring n fitting message here
to loyal Americans from many states.
Camden and Atlantic County authori-
ties are cooperating with the state
Highway Commission in their plans to
keep the highways from the Delaware to
the shore in good shape for motor tour
lists. Every day brings hundreds of
cars; every Saturday afternoon and
night thousands of them. With the
raising of passenger rates for regular
rail travel Atlantic City expects an In
crease in motor travel that will go far
toward meeting any decrease in the
former.
Everything considered, Atlantic City
faces the future with ~equanimity. 1t
has "A role to play, important in It's
relation to maintaining confidencr aud
cheerfulness. and it is going to 10 lis
very best to fill this role adequately,
SO that zone ever may say that this
place which Philadelphia made possible
can be called anything but 100 per cent
patriotic.

Aii-Season Rail Service
A large measure of Atlantic City's
optimism Is due to assurances that the
city will have ail-season railroad SER
vice in keeping with every requirement.
After encouraging as many wal workers
as possible to seek rational diversion.
there is no intention on the part of Di-
rector General McAdoo to hamper them
in so doing. The Governments good
intentions are further shown in the
very gratifying announcement last week
that the railroads will be permitted to
initiate special tourist rates to seashere
and mountain places.
Much satisfaction is derived also from
the fact that the cottage-renting season
has gone over the top. for a large part

YES! LIFT A CORN -
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up a corn or caIIus so it lifts
off with fingers.
Phone

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops sore
ness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted out, root and all, without pain.
"A small bottle of freezone cost very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as it is Inexpensive and is said not to
irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get a small bottle for you
from his Wholesale drug house. 1t is
fine stuff and acts like a charm every
time.

The Red Cross society Of Horse
EShoe, under the efficient leadership
OF Mrs. L. e. Davenport, has won fol-
itself the reputation Of doing well
whatever It undertakes.
/ It was therefore with expectant
hearts that a large audience gathered
in the Methodist church at Horse
Shoe on Sunday afternoon, May IL,
for the flag service. At this service
a flag bearing twenty stars, emblem
attic of twenty names of soldiers of
our Horse Shoe community, was to
be presented by the Red Cross So
ciety.
After appropriate opening eXer-
cises Mr.. Wilson Morgan introduced
the speaker of the evening, Mr.. j.
Foy Justice. Mr.. Justice made an
impressive address, reminding us of
our country's record in the past and
the great work to which she is now
pledged. He also spoke of the Red
Cross and all that it meant to US and
to our soldiers. His address was
warmly received and appreciated.
Miss Sue Cannon, in eloquent
words, presented the service flag to
the people of Horse Shoe. 1t was
received by Miss Eliza Ladson with a
few we'll chosen words. And then
there was unrolled before the eyes of
the audience the flag with it's twenty
stars.
AS with tear-dimmed eyes we look
ed upon it "each heart recalled a diff
ferent name," but when the roll OF
names was read and we bent our
heads in prayer, led by Rev. George
Belk, it was for our boys we prayed
our boys-God keep them, every
one.
After a short but earnest address
by Mr.. Wilson Morgan on the work
of the Red Cross an offering was
taken for that cause while a quartette
sang the pathetic pledge to our sol
der boys to keep the Home Fires
DUILIIuS'
The flag was removed from the
church to be lifted to its place on
the flagstaff, and, the audience was
dismissed with an earnest prayer by
Rev. A. I. Justice.
AS we fingered in front of the
house of God on that quiet Sabbath
afternoon (and surely there could be
no time and place more fitting for
such a scene) we saw the flag of our
boys raised to its place below their
country's bag, that flag which they
were pledged to follow wheresoever
it led, even unto death.
Surely we will not forget. Their
names r written on our hearts. We
will bear them before God. May He
have them in His holy keeping. May
He make them pure of heart and
clean of life to fight His battles in
the cause of righteousness and truth.
May He make them faithful soldiers
of their country and Of their coun-
try's God.
