OFFICIAL DIPPING
 DATES NEAR MENA
Some Confusion Seems to Exist and Schedule Is Again Given-Best Time to Dip Early in
 Morning.

Owing to an apparent misunder- standing concerning the official dates for dipping at vats in and near Mena The Star has consented to publish these dates again:
 Hooper & Strauss. |. Friday, June 2l Hawthorne Saturday. June %
 This schedule repeats itself every two weeks during the season. It is legal requirement that cattle be dipped under the supervision of an authorized inspector, therefore, it will be necessary that you have your cattle at the vat at which you do your dipping on the day designated.
 That the greatest benefits may be secured it is advisable to dip early in the morning just after milking, and before the cattle have time to fill up On feed. This also avoids handling your stock during the heat of the day

A FINE PATCH OF CORN.
That Planted by Gus Powers Shows
 Strange Trait.

For some time representative of The Star and scores of passersby have been admiring the small patch of growing corn upon vacant lots near the Lauck garage on DeQueen street, and attention was called recently to something remarkable about this corn --the fact that nearly all of the blades upon the long luxuriant stalks grow in an opposite direction from usual in other words the leaves grow from stalk to stalk, instead of across the rows. There are some six rows in all of about 100 feet long, and only about 30 inches between rows, and the corn is very thick, and it has been esti- mated than an acre like it would pro duce a hundred and fifty bushels. Gus Powers planted it from seed corn gotten from large ear that fell from car of corn imported by the Mena Flour Mill last winter Nobody can account of the corn blades growing as above described.

Cincinnati Man Discovers Drug That Loosens Corns So They

Good news spreads rapidly and druggists here are kept busy dispens- ing freezone, the recent discovery of Cincinnati man, which is said to loosen any eorn SO it lifts out with the fingers.
 A quarter of an ounce costs very lit tie at any store which handles drugs, but this is said to be sufficient to rid one's feet of every hard or soft corn or callus.
 You apply just few drops on the tender. aching corn or toughened call lus and instantly the soreness is re- leved, and soon the corn or callus is so shriveled that it lifts right out without pain. It is a sticky substance which dries when applied and never intlames or even irritates the sur rounding skin.
 This discovery will prevent thous- ands of deaths annually from lockjaw and infection heretofore resulting from the suicidal habit of cutting corns. Adv.
