FARM BUREAU NOTICE

A few of the men whom were can
vassed TO join the Farm Bureau AS
sociation may have gotten the idea
that the membership dues were to
/ be pro rated this year. To clear up
any misunderstanding that might ex-
| list the Farm Bureau Directors took
up the matter with Mr.. j. w. Cover
dale, the County Agent Leader, and
| have received the following reply:
THE regular memberships of the
Farm Bureau are $500 per year, as
provided in the membership petit
lions which were signed in securing
members. Mr.. Sunberg had no au-
I thority from this office to make a
statement that the memberships
would be pro rated. 1t requires
from $1,000 to $500 a year to
maintain the expenses of the Farm
Bureau office and ir anything ad-
ditional is to be paid to the Agent
salary other than the $3.50 a month,
that also must come out of the mem
berships; hence it would be policy
for your farm Bureau to pro rate
, its memberships at this time. Ii
there are any members who have
signed and feel that they have been
misled in signing the petition,
simply would release them from
their obligation, as there are plenty
of men who are willing to back UP
the government at this time with
plenty of finances to run the emer-
Eency Farm Bureau.
Very truly yours
j. w. Coverdale
County Agent Leader
In presenting the matter to the
people, c. c. Nelson of Elk Horn. l..
j. Anderson of Douglas township.
and any other who canvassed for
Farm Bureau memberships, simply
put the matter up to the people as
it was represented to them by Mr..
Sunberg who had charge of a part
of the membership campaign
Now great many in the county
have understood the matter cor
rectly and have paid the $500 fee
for the year without any comment.
The expense of equipment and sup
plies, this year will bring the total
above $500. so that pro rating the
membership would not be a practical
policy this year.

Ouch E! :? F! ! This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this CINCINNATI
authority, who claims that few drops
of drug called freezone when applied
to tender, aching corn or hardened cal
lus stops soreness at once, and soon the
corn or callus dries up and lifts right
off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never infiames or even irritates the
surrounding skin. A small bottle of
freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions of American women

THIS IS THE TRUE
RED CROSS SPIRIT
A Little Story With a Big
Thought in 1t.

A month ago the Red Cross chapter
in Fay City, Mich, received hurry.
up call for $50 dunnage bags. Troops
were about to move, and through. an
oversight their equipment was not
complete. The bags had to be made
and sent within 4S hours. A request
for help was sent over the town, and
the stores were searched successfully
for the right materials. Among those
who quickly responded and came to
the chapter workrOOms to help were
two little girls, sisters, about ten and
twelve years of age, each eager to lend
q hand and do something for the boys
who were going to the front. All day
long the fingers of the women and
the little girls were fairly flying. Bag
after bag received the last stitch un-
ill scores were piled up ready for
shipment. Closing time came, and the
woman experimenting the making OF
the bags counted those completed and
announced that If every one of the
workers could come early the next
morning and work all day the bags
would surely be finished in time for
shipping by evening. Two crestfallen
little girls. the little sisters, were wait
ing for her at the door as she de-
parted.
