Tho Eoyptlan "FeNah.n

The Egyptian "Fellah" is curious
mixture of independence and submit
siveness. He would never consent to
the wholesale disclosure of his ahairs
requisite under the cooperative sys-
TEN. He is as secretive as the Scotch
man, as land hungry as the French
man. He is in some ways as ignorant
and as submissive to authority as the
poorest European peasant. He had
always obtained ample credit, but at
terrible price. For short periods he
would pay so and 60 per cent and
when in 1899, an effort was made to
create an equitable system of rural
credits the average existing rate of in
terest for all loans was q per cent per
annum. Suspicious to a degree, he
had to be approached very diplomatic
ally by personal meetings, often re-.
peated, before he could be convinced
of the bona fides of bank Offering him
money at and 9 per cent. His con-
f1dence was won. however, and he
proved an honest and reliable client.

Blind Develop Other Senses.

The man who is born blind develops
his other senses to degree that seems
almost uncanny to sighted people, says
a writer in London Tit-Bits. His
hearing forms one of the principal
channels through which he obtains
knowledge of what is taking place
around him. The slightest variation in
sound conveys a wealth of informa-
ton to him, because he learns to as
sociate these sounds with their origin
and the manner in which they are pro-
duced. For shape and texture he de-
ponds upon his touch, and the touch
of a man who has never had sight is
wonderfully sensitive and delicate. To
find his way about he depends upon his
sense of direction and obstacle, which
have become highly developed owing
to the fact that he has always been
entirely dependent upon them. For
that part of his education which can
be derived from books he depends on
Braille.

RENVlLLE FARMER
FOUND DlSL0YAL
Plead. Guilty to Charge Of Sedi-
tious Utterance and is Fined
$3.50.

Lawrence Herscher, farmer liv-
ing a few miles north of Renville,
was indicted by the grand jury Thurs.
day for seditious utterances alleged
to have been made in the presence
of solicitors for Liberty Loan Bonds
during the recent drive. Herscher
was arrested and brought into court
where he pleaded guilty to the charge.
A fine of $3.50 was imposed by Judge
Daily, which fine was promptly paid by
Herscher. In imposing the fine Judge
DAILY said it was a painful duty for the
court to pass sentence upon a fellow
citizen, especially so when the accus.
ed was an old acquaintance of the
court, as in that case, but he reminded
the accused man that the crime charg-
ed is most serious one at this time,
and calls for severe punishment. 1t
appears Herscher had made several
ridiculous and disloyal statements
when asked to buy Liberty Bends and
it is hoped that his fine will serve
as a lesson to him in the future
Olivia Times.

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells how to loosen a tender corn
or calIus so it lifts out
without pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is re-
ievcd and soon the entire corn or cal
lus, root and all, lifts off with the fin
gers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or cal
lus without infaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very little
at any of the drug stores, but will posi-
lively rid ones feet of every hard or
soft corn or hardened callus. If your
druggist hasn't any freezone he can get
it at any wholesale drug house for you.

DUTY of HRnpinees.

Keeping oneself reasonably happy
is duty that ought not to be shirked.
Science is telling us these days that to
get out of the habit of enjoyment is
to get depressed in vitality and vigor,
to weaken in efficiency, and to grow
old before ones time. There is moth
ing like laughter-not empty-headed
laughter, but the intelligent, whole
some, kindly hearted kind-to keep
people young and fresh and fit for
business and the obligations of living.
OF course, this is prescription not
easy to live up to always, but there is
no reasonable excuse for not trying to
do it. Sometimes it is just about as
easy to be happy as to be miserable If
one makes up his mind to it, and there
is no doubt at all as to which pays
the best.-Onward.
