100 PER CENT PATRIOTIC.

Thank God for people who see their
duty and privileges IS do the people
of McDonalds, Robson county. They
trebled their allotment in the third
Liberty loan and purpose doing the
same thing in the Red Cross drive
this week
Other communities in Robson will
go as far, according to their means,
as McDonalds goes, when they take
this war home to themselves as their
own personal affair and realize what
the war means and what the Red Cross
means. 1t is largely matter Of in
formation, after all, and no one can
afford to be ignorant Of these things.
It is a patriotic duty to inform one
self about the war, about the Red
Cross, and about what one can do to
help. To doff the whole business
aside as none of ones affair, and "ler
George do it," is sorry way to act:
it is unpatriotic; no one who is worth
fighting for or who deserves the
blessings of life ard liberty will do
that.
This Red Cross appeal will get
your number. You are going to show
right where you live. 1t is an honest
to-goodness test of your patriotism.
Listen: Suppose band of German
soldiers should come marching down
The road where you live singing
"Deutchland uber Alles," and your
baby, not yet old enough to walk
should crawl out into the road near
the line of march; and suppose one
of those soldiers should step aside
slightly, ram mis- bayonet through the
baby, sling his gun, with the baby or
the end of the bayonet, across his
shoulder, and step back in line and
continue his march and his song, with
scarcely a break. And then suppose
you and your wife and other chsld1er
should escape by miracle, but tna1
your home was burned and all yoJ

LIKE AN ELECTRIC
BUTTON ON TOES
Tells why a corn is SO painful and
says cutting makes them grow.

Press an electric button and you
form contact with live wire which
rings the bell. When your shoes
press against your corn it pushes lis
sharp roots down upon a sensitive
nerve and you get shock of pain.
Instead of trimming your corn,
which merely makes them grow, just
step into any drug store and ask for
quarter Of an ounce of freezone.
This will cost very little but is suf-
ficient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet A few
arops applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn stops the soreness in
stantly, and soon the corn strivels up
so it lifts right out, root and ell, with
cut pain. This drug freezone is
harmless and never intlalnes or ev n

WHAT GREAT WARS HAVE COST
Expenditures That in the Aggregate
Amount to Sum Sufficient to
"sGagger Humanity"

4 Recently the congress Of the United
States passed, almost without debate,
the greatests budget in the history of
the world, making available for Uncle
Sam 81 GOO, 900 900 in order to carry on
the war on scale commensurate with
Its greatness. It is interesting, there
fore, to compare with this the cost Of
other wars. The Napoleonic wars,
which ragged over Europe from 1893 to
1915, cost approximate ly 81, O0O, 900, 900.
or the same amount that congress pro-
vided Tor the United States to enter
into the conflict, and that was only
beginning. < 4 sE,
The Mexican war cost the United
States about $1OO, 100000, compare
lively trifling sum. The Civil wal,
however, was a very expensive affair,
,entailing the expenditure of $4,000
OOO 900 from 1851 to 1855. The Franco
Prussian war cost the two nations en-
gagged about SO, OO,OO0,OO0. The second
South African war, from 1900 to 1872.
cost 81, SOC, 100000, the conflict between
Russia and Japan consumed almost
$4,000, 100000, while. the United States
got off very cheaply in the Spanish
American war with an expenditure OF
75OOO,OOO. The estimates on the; out

door and window space. The boards
are run up and down and add suffi-
cient stiffness to the house. They are
used also for the roof and covered with
roofing paper. The back and sides of
the house also can be covered with
roofing paper, or the cracks can be
covered with wooden battens or strips
IL to 3 inches wide. In the front of
the house there should be left a Win
dow or opening which can be closed,
when desired, by muslin screen or
curtain which serves as a protection
against bad weather but allows venti-
lation. In the side q door should be
provided which will allow entrance. "A
shed or single-slope roof is best be-
cause easiest to build. A height; Of 9
feet in front and feet in the rear is
ample. If desired, the house may be
built higher, So that it is more convent
ent; to work in; the increase In cost
will be slight. The ventilator in the
rear is not needed in the northern part
of the country, but is desirable in the
South, where summers are very warm.
Such house would be ample for a
flock Of 20 to Is hens. 1t can be built
quickly and easily and is cheap in
construction. sE ss& -. j.

SUITABLE HOUSE FOR FOWLS
Hens Should Be Comfortable, With
Floor Space Of 8 or q Square Feet
\ for EacE, Bird.

Prepared by the United States Depart
E ment Of Agriculture.)
The poultry flock should be comfort
ably but not expAnsively housed. q
house which provides floor space Of
g or 4 square feet per bird is ample for
the purpose, and fowls are often sue
cessfully kept with an allowance no
greater than 211a to- 8 square feet.
I Houses must be dry and free from
draft, but must allow ventila alton.
Often there Is an unused shed or small
building on the place which can easily
be converted into chicken house. The
front Of the poultry house should be
faced toward the south, If possible, SO
that the sun will shine into it. Per-
fectly satisfactory houses can be made
cheaply from piano boxes Or other
packing cases. Two piano boxes with
the backs. removed can be nailed to-
gether and door cut in the end. These
boxes should be covered with roofing
paper in order to keep the house dry
and to make 1t wind-proof. A portion
OF the door should be left open or COW

allow ventilation Similar houses can
be constructed of packing cases at a

Your War Garden.

Don't rob yourself Of flowers even
in war times. There is no better anti
dote for the war horror, and there Is
no reason why the vegetable garden
should not be bordered with such
plants as gladioli, dahlias, sunfiowers
and various other ANNALS. Indeed,
some Of the vegetables themselves have
beautiful blossoms. The scarlet rum
lner bean and the sugar pea. for ex-
ample, have beautiful flowers and
both are excellent vegetables. Old
time gardens are often bordered with
parsley, and most Of the herbs when
grown in little beds are delightful to
look upon. r. .
