AS OUT OF DATE
AS HORSE CARS
SAYS CORN, RINGS, PLASTERS,
RAZOR AND EATING SALyES ARE
TABOO NOW.

Good things should be passed along.
1t is now said that few drops of a
drug called freezone applied directly
upon tender, aching corn relieves the
soreness and soon the entire corn, root
and all, can be lifted out without pain.
For little cost quarter of an ounce
of freezone can be obtained from any
drug store which is claimed to be suffi-
Gent to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
This is drug recently announced
from Cincinnati. 1t is gummy but
dries the moment it is applied and
simply shrivels up the corn without
infaming or even irritating the healthy
tissue Or skin.
Cut this out and lay it on your
wlfe's dresser. adv

COMPRESS WAN IS
MORE MONEY FOR
CROP
FORMAL APPLICATION FILED BE-
FORE RAILROAD COMMISSION 10
BOOST CHARGES TO u 1-2 AND
20 CENTS A HUNDRED.

Along with other business institu-
tions, the Americas Compress Com
pany has felt the pinch of economic
conditions, with the result that formal
application has just been filed with
the Railroad commission by that con-
Germ. asking authority to boost its
rates for pressing cotton bales.
The plant which is now operated by
the Atlantic Compress Company, is an
important one among Americas indus
tries. and annually presses a large
amount of cotton, which is shipped
from this city to consuming mill
points as well as for export purposes
The plant is owned, however, by the
Americas Compress Company, of which
Frank P. Harold is president, and the
application for authority to boost its
rates is made in the name of this lat
ter corporation
The petition asks the Railroad com
mission for authority to charge IL IL
cents per hundred pounds for stand
ard or ordinary compression, such as
is usually applied when cotton is to
be shipped to mills in the United
States, and 90 cents per hundred
pounds for high density compression,
which requires considerable additional
pressure and care in final packing of
the bale for export shipment. The
new rates would make compression
cost, therefore. 81 IL cents for a bale
of 500 pounds requiring standard or
ordinary compression, with Oh 90 the
charge exacted for high density press
ing applied upon bales designed for
export
The petition has been assigned for
hearing before the Railroad commits
ton at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning
July 9Th, when the commission will de-
eide as to the reasonable charge in
volved in the proposition to increase
rates AS the petition is along SINH
lar lines to several others already nj
ed with the commission by compresse
in different parts of Georgia, it is prob
able the decision reached in these in
stances may also be made to apply Y

to the public will state that am going to endeavor to
do the right thing if you will give me time and not ex-
pect too much to begin with, as the business being

that purpose. 1t is hoped by such CO.
operation that greater number Of

A systematic routine for the pur-
chase of thrift stamps has been in
stalled in the main office of the Pot

office messenger carries around a
supply of little 25-cent thrift stamps
and each morning makes the rounds of
the office and thus effect a systematic

total of $121 worth Of thrift stamps
have been purchased.

HOW RED CROSS
HELPS SOLDIERS
WORK BEING DONE AT CAMP
LEWIS THROUGH RESIDENT
MANAGER AND WIFE

CAMP LEWIS-A bureau for mill
American Red Cross organization I'M
der the direct management of W. r
Van Valen, who is assistant to Field
Director Arthur P. Prichard, Ia
coma banker Mr.. Van Valen is as
sisted in his work by his wife who
takes an equal interest in the duties
With their small daughter, the Van
Valens reside in "hut" near the CEN
ter of the cantonment. They are al
ways at the service of the soldiers.
An idea Of the relief accomplished
by the local bureau is obtained from
the official report submitted for the
month of January. Disposition was
made of SIS relief cases wherein aid
was given relatives and families of
soldiers. Thirty-eight were classified
as general relief, such as suffering
by reason of delay in receiving allot-
ments, temporary sickness and lack OF
funds to meet payments on homes
Free medical attention was secured
for the wives of eight soldiers. There
necessary operations were performed
on relatives of enlisted men at no ex-
pense to the latter.
Six of the cases pertained to bust
ness problems which required legal
ga Ixy;o Sc Of ioic pu
men in different lines. These cases
were scattered throughout the west
and several were covered in the CEN
trail states. In urgent cases arrange
ments for relief are quickly made by
telegraphic instruction in event those
needing it live at distance.
Besides attending to the cases hav-
ing to do with the relieving Of the
minds of the men, the Red Cross ac-
much toward making
them physically comfortable. On the
approved requests of company COM
manders the soldiers were presented
with 11,5O5 sweaters, 2676 pairs a
socks made of knitted wool, 5063 pairs
Of wristlets and 855 mufflers. In the
same period 1920 sweaters, 2O44 pairs
If socks 6757 pairs of wristlets, and
1888 mufflers were received from the
various Red Cross chapters of the
vest for distribution.
Shipments of knitted wooden articles
yalued at $4,000 and upwards are
constantly being received and since
he bureau was opened the disburse-
nents have aggregated several hun
Ired thousand dollars in this canton /
nent alone At Christmas every Of I
icer and enlisted man was recipient /
if a package from the Red Cross con-
aiming many useful articles.
The affairs of the bureau are con- 1
ucted entirely in accordance with +
usiness methods. The assistant di-
ector is bonded and his report must
ccount for every article passing
trough the local warehouse.

PRICES JUMP IN rs YEARS
Wisconsin Farmer Makes Interesting
Comparison Between Prices in
1892 and Now.

Portage, WISE. R. Studenmayer,
who has been engaged in farming in
this locality for the past quarter Of a
century, has made comparison be-
tween prices prevalent in 1892 and
those of 1918. Here's what he found !:
Hogs in 1892 were $500, now $16;
cattle $3.50, now $40; rye 40 cents, now
$1.85; wheat As cents, now 1920; pO-
tatoes 10 cents, now $1i butter 10
Gents, now so cents; eggs cents, now
AZ cents; cord wood $3.50, now $3.50;
bran SIS, now $40; hay SIS, now $50,
and oats 10 cents, now rs cents. The
farmer says these are only few Of
the changes, and while agriculturists
are obtaining decidedly better prices
than % years ago, they are compelled
to pay more for what they buy. -

REAL FIGHTING
when u.S.STARTs
Canadian Officer Praises Officers
and Men of American Army
in France.
EXPECTED TO WIN THE war
Come In at Time When Strain Of Long
Fighting Is Beginning to Show on
Both Allies and the Foe-Ger-
man Tactics Simple.

Chicago.-"The Germans must strike
now or never" wrote Maj. George w.
Macleod, second in command of the
Forty-ninth Canadian battalion, and
one of the veterans of the hardest
fighting the Canadians have seen in
France, in a letter to Capt. A. Wal
lace Owen of the British Canadian re-
cruiting mission in this city. Captain
Owen is attached to the Forty-ninth
battalion.
"All we can do is to say, Let the bat
tie commence" the letter continues.
''Every one is anticipating a big Ger
man offensive either against ourselves
or the French. There never has been
such close cooperation as exists at the
present time between ourselves and the
French, and if the Boche starts any,
thing he may get the surprise Of his
life.
Pleased With Americans.
"Every one is very much pleased
with the Americans over here. They
are a splendid looking lot Of officers
and men, and their manners and atti-
tude leave nothing to be desired. Once
they start in I think that the Germans
will have some real fighting to handle.
Zone Is gradually beginning to real
lie the meaning of the expression q
war of attrition.' With the enormous
slaughter which has been in progress
for over three years the Germans and
ourselves are beginning to show the
strain. We see it in the type Of off,
GERS" and men as regards physique.
Our training possibly counteracts to
q certain extent this loss Of physique,
but would not care to see the aver
age unit Of today placed alongside its
former self. Similarly with the rest
OF the belligerents. 1t is atDhfs juno
fure that the Americans arrive, and
one is Immediately struck with their
appearance. The first million men
from the United States army should
nearly be able to finish the war pro-
vided they are not used in driblets.
Given completely new army, say of
two full corps, or possibly three, in the
spring and the end of the war should
be not long postponed.
German Tactics Simple.
81 do not think that we are at the
last ditch by any means. We have
been in tight corners before, and will
no doubt sweep our way out of the
present one. A German offensive put
on simultaneously against the French
and ourselves at the present time
would, however, make it fairly stiff
going.
81 doubt, however, if the German is
really sufficiently strong to do this:
I. e., two determined sustained often
sives. That Ne will use diversive tao
tics is probable. He must finish the
job this winter, or. he never will, and
all we can do is to meet the blow when
it comes, or, possibly anticipate that
blow by one of our own. The German
grand strategy has never been any
thing but simple. His tactics are diff
ferent. His strategy has been simply
to wear down the forces opposed to
him until a stage is reached when he
can attack"

A RECORD DEAL m MILO MAIZE.
DEMlMe BOILER MILLS
PURCHASE CARLOAD LOT.
Consideration $2,2oO Product Used
h the Manufacture Of New
war Flour"

John Clark Of the Deming roll
ley mills last Monday paid out the
largest sum that has ever been paid
in this county for milo maize, so far
as there is any record. He wrote q
check payable to @. D. Hatfield Of
Miesse, in the sum Of $4,000 in ex-
change for a carload Of the maize
delivered that day at the mills. In
addition to being the largest sum
ever paid for one consignment it al
so represents the largest bulk Of
that grain that has ever changed
lands in the county
The transaction is further re-
markable in that it marks very
distinct advance in a new industry
that Ia its inception here and has
thus far been developed nowhere else
the production Of a flour product
FOR cooking purposes from milo
maize, hitherto valuable principally as
chicken feed. The Deming mills per-
fected this process here in their own
plant at a very considerable cost, but
1t looks as If the venture was wholly
justified, for the flour product they
make from the maize has already
grown into great popularity locally,
where it is being used more aud
more as a win the-war" substitute
for wheat. 1t is very popular pro.
duct at the different bakeries and
eating houses. who are gradually ex-
tending its use from the regular
wheatless-day aefsatz," to an every
day table article, for the bread and
pastry it produces are declared by
some TO be not only equal but super
Tor to that made from wheat flour.
The Deming mills are making two
grades Of the maize flour, one On
the order of graham flour and the
other as a blend to be used with
wheat flour Patriotism is turning
the public more and more to the use
of substitutes for wheat, but the new
flour bids fair to establish itself on
its own merits alone. and will UNI
doubtedly be a fixed commercial pro.
duct afer the war.
Mr.. Hatfield, who sold the maize
to the mills, has at least three more
carloads 10 dispose Of from his 80
acre farm, according to Mr.. Clark, |
not to speak Of 10000 pounds Of !
potatoes, not bad total for that
acreage, no matter where located in
these United States. Mr.. Clark. how
ever, bellows that that sort Of fig
ures NAV be looked for pretty near
" as a general thing in the Mimbres
valley within a few years. The val,
ley's agricultural possibilities are
only beginning to be realized, he says. |
lie declares further that two mil
lion dollars worth Of crops are 60
ing to waste in the valley every year,
largely for lack of a proper use to
put it to, The new maize goes far
toward ending that difficulty,
