war savings campaign. with a goal
of $1,000 to be reached, and $500
already subscribed.

ON the white background. The flag

GIRLS! YOU CAN
LIFT THEM OFF
Doesn't hurt a bit TO lift your
sore, touchy corns
right out

A noted Cincinnati authority discov-
cred new ether compound and called
1t freezone and a quarter ounce of 1t
now can be had for a few cents at any
drug store.
You simply apply few drops of this
magic freezone upon a tender corn or
painful callus and instantly the sore
ness disappears, then shortly you will
md the corn or callus so loose that
you can lift it of with the fingers.
You feel no pain, not particle of
soreness, either when applying free
zone or afterwards, and it doesn't even
irritate the skin.
Hard corns, soft corns or corns be-
tween the toes, also toughened cal
luses, Just shrivel up and lift OFF so
easy. 1t is wonderful! 1t works like
a charm. Try it,

SECURED
FOR PUBLIC HIGHWAY

Monday the township board of Guy
mon township finished opening the
right-of-way road between Guymon
and Goodwill, thus shortening the
distance between these two towns
more than four miles. The board has
been working to get the right-of-way
for over a year, and has succeeded in
getting it in every case, either by pur-
chase or arbitration. This road is
destined to become one of the most
important in the county, and is an
extension of the road paralleling the
track from Tucumcari, New Mexico,
to Dalhart, and from Dalhart to Tex
homa, and from Texhoma it is pro-
iected to Liberal, Kansas. The link
between Guymon and Goodwill is the
first to be completed.
The township board is composed of
j. L. Handy, Ed Davis and D. p.
Brown, and these men deserve great
credit for the untiring efforts they
have made in completing this enter

Mother Ship With U-Boat.

Norfolk, Va, June 11.-Survivors of the American freighter Pinar del Rio, arriving here from Manteo, N. C., said the German submarine which sank their vessel no miles north east of Cape Henry last Saturday morn ing after a stern chase of more than an hour was accompanied by a large ship which they believed to be a mother" ship. They also asserted that after their vessel was sent down by gunfire the submarine sank two erican sailing vessels.
 Walter c. B. Burrows. first as sistant engineer of the Pinar del Rio, described the craft with the submersi- ble as a vessel of about 5000 gross tons, with a single funnel amidships. She was painted gray and stood some two or three miles in the off1ng while the submarine sank the Rio. When o,.icap went dawn a

 FIRES ON U-BOAT
Brazilian Captain Tells Of Attack
 Off New Jersey Coast

An Atlantic Port, June 11.-An American transport fired five shots at a German submarine 75 miles off the
 Jersey coast, with unknown results, according to information brought here last night by the Captain of a Braz- ilian steamship.
 The freight ship, bound north from g. South American port, sighted the submarine soon after 10 o'clock. I'm mediately full speed ahead was or dered and the vessel zigza gged. A few minutes later a vessel in the distance, which later was identified as a United States army transport, opened fire on the submarine. Two shots were heard followed almost immediately by three others.
 The submarine was too far away, the South American captain said, for him to tell whether, any of the shots took effect He also said that he thought the transport was too far from the submarine for the latter to trv a hit with a torpedo.
 The Brazilian steamship continued it's course with all possible speed for this port without waiting to ascertain the result of the encounter.

submarine signaled the vessel in in- ternational code Follow me- and the U-boat and her consort started away.
 According to survivors, the first of the sailing craft attacked by the sub marine after she had destroyed the Rio was a ship, while the second was a schooner. They knew nothing as to the fate of the two crews, but as- stunned the men were allowed to take to the small boats, as were the cap- tain and thirty ?three men of the Rios crew
 William F. Clark of the Naval Re. serves, who said he was aboard the Rio in training for service as an officer on a merchant vessel, said the sub- marine fired six shots at the Rio be- fore the American craft stopped When the first shot was fired the cap- tain put op all steam, in the hope of making port and escaping the enemy, but the submarine proved too speedy The crew took to the boats before the submarine arrived alongside
 Both Burrows and Clark said the submarine was about 250 feet long. with what appeared to be about six inch calibre rifles mounted fore and aft. The U-boat, they said, was painted light gray and appeared to be weather and sea worn.
