GET BUSY IN THE SOUTHWEST
(Roanoke Times).

Only four of the counties in the
great Southwest went "over the top"
at the time of the last Liberty Loan.
All the others failed to subscribe their
allotment and were set down in the
list of the tried and found wanting.
Not crcditable showing, that, and
one of which every friend of the
Southwest is rightly ashamed.
The time has come when the South
west can wipe out this black mark
and put itself shoulder to shoulder
with the progressive, patriotic see
tions of the State and the country
that are doing thier part in full meas
ure, responding to every call made in
the way that it should he met. Pu-
laski, Giles, Tazewell, and Wise
these four made good The others did
not why, we are ut loss to say. But
it is to these others that we would
address brief word of earnest ap-
peal that they do their part this time
and enable the Southwest to present
Il solid, unbroken front.
The need is urgent, it will become
steadily more urgent with the passing
of time. And just as the need be-
comes more imperative, so must the
response continue to be unflinchngly
and hearty. The German people, af-
ter nearly four years of war, are still
financing their governments needs
and every loan is taken promptly as
soon as it is offered. Surely, we will
not do less than our enemies in these
matters. We cannot, in justice to
those who have gone forth from our
homes and fresides to offer up their
lives in our behalf.
The Third Liberty Loan is going to
be success. There is no doubt on
that score Our anxiety is that this
great section, so dear and so near to
us, sholl do its part in full measure
toward the government and the cause.
Southwest Virginia will not fail this
time. She will not, if her people re-
spond as they ought to respond and
as we know right well they are able
to respond. The call is clear and I'M
mistakable and cannot be evaded.
What is the answer to be?

GIRLS. IT'S YOUR

Says Women Pay too Much Heed to
Their Face Instead of Their Corns.
Watch your step! A brisk. lively
step is what charms more than
lovely skin, but yout high heels have
caused corns and you limp little
That's bad, girls, and you know it.
Corns destroy beauty and grace, be-
sides corns are very easy to remove
Rid your feet of every corn by ask
ing ut any drug store for quarter
of an ounce of freezone. This will
cost little but is sufficient to remove
every hard or soft corn OF callus from
ones feet.
A few drops applied directly upon
tender, touchy corn relieves the sore
ness and soon the tnire corn, root and
all, lifts right out without pain.
This freezone is a gummy sub
stance, which dries instantly and sim
ply shrivels up the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the sur
ruunding skin.
Women must keep in mind that
cornless feet create Il youthful step
which enhances her attractivcness.

THE YOUNG GIRL OF TODAY.
Roanoke Times.)

(hOuHOke llIneS.J
"a girl doing useful things in the
kitchen with smile on her lips and
n song in her heart looks so alto
gether lovely to us that we regard
even the backs Of her elbows as beau
tiful."-Ohio State Journal.
This homely expression of whole
some truth makes an appeal that is
but the stronger because the number
Of girls who are to be found in the
kitchen seems to be growing smaller
every year. Not so many years ago
there were any number of young girls
whose JOY and pleasure it was to help
their mothers with the homework. 1t
was plain to all that these girls; were
growing up into capable, home-loving
domestic women, destined to be in
time the browning joys of an equal
number of American households.
There are some girls to be found yet
to whom this description applies, but
not nearly as many as here ought to
be. Running to the movies, followed
by visits to the soda water emporium,
constitutes the principal exercise Of
the growing girls of the present gen
Grafton, or ut least so observation
teaches.
The young girl of today doubtless
possesses the sterling qualities of
womanhood that were SO character
istic of her sex twenty-five or thirty
years ago. But these qualities lie dor
mant and unless something unfore-
seen occurs to bring them to the sur
face they are apt to remain latent
unused, undiscovered and unguessed,
save by few. otis true, tits true,
tits pity; and pity tits, tits true"

SENATOR STONES SUCCESSOR

In the death of Senator Stone of
Missouri, prominent and influential
figure in American politics passes out
He WAS one of the "littlc group of
wilful men" who opposed the decln-
ration of war, arming American mcr-
chant vessels and other war measures
of the President. But after the dec
laration Of war he gave support
heartily to many measures he had
formerly opposed.
As to his successor, The Roanoke
Times suggests that the Missouri
people should elect Champ Clark ia
fill the vacancy. There is likely to
be hot political fight in Missouri
for the place, and to forestall num-
Der of gentlemen who might be "per-
suadcd" to accept the place, the Mis-
souri, Democrats would do well To iiY

PRAYING FOR THE KAISER.

Some one asks: as it our duty to
pray for the Kaiser?" and goes on
TO say, that Jesus prayed for the peo-
pie who were crucifying him and
that 1--WE are commanded to pray for
our enemies"
This query of our friend is rcferr-
ed to the ministers of the town. So
far, up to this time, in no public
prayer that we have heard has the
Kaiser been mentioned. lie seems
to be regarded MS "outsidc of the
pale" 1t is true, the Savior prayed
for the men who had nailed him on
the cross, but, he added "For they
know not what they do" They were
bowling mob of heather. Their ig-
norance seemed in the estimation of
the Master some mitigation, some OK
cuse.
AS to the Kaiser, he is certainly
not ignorant-he processes to be n
Christian. He is the recognized head
of his church, and thinks, no doubt
that he does not need the prayers
OF anybody. 1t would not do any good
1t seems, to pray for him any more
than to pray for the devil, and there
be many people who would as readi-
ly pray for the one as the other, be-
heving that they are one and the
same, only the Kaiser Il little more
so. However, the question of our in
quirer is respectfully turned over TO
