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

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is re-
lieved 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
1T at any wholesale drug house for yoa.

COMMITTEES ADJOURNED
Many Ckangegs to be Made in State
Constitution Are Indicated.

Little Rock, April 22.-The Commit
tees of the Constitutional Convention
have adjourned and returned to their
homes with the exception of the Com,
mittce on Co5ifcation ana the Commit
tee on PHI 5eology.
The proposals of the various Com
mittees are being submitted 10 these
two committees who Will put them
into shape for submission to the Con-
yention when it conyenes in July.
w. p. Spears, OF Newton county, re-
signed yesterday as member of the
Convention, and Ben F. McFerrin was
appointed to succeed him. Mr.. Nc
Ferrin has served several terms in
the Legislature, and is one of the most
prominent good roads boosters in the
state
The most radical suggested change
was that made by the Legislative Com
mittee, offered by J. T. Sihord that
the House of Representatives be re-
duced to not less than So nor more
than so members, crG the Senate to
not less than IS nor more than %
members. Until otherwise provided
there shall be one represent tive cleo
ted from each of the present Senator
ial districts, and one Senator from
each of the present Senatorial dis
tricts. The Legislature shall meet
every four years and remain in session
not more than sixty days. The ad-
option OF strong prohibition ag inst
the enactment of local legislation will,
it is believed, SO greatly reduce the
volume of business that this will be
sufficient for all practical purposes.
The Oregon plan for the Initiative
and Referendum is adopted almost in
full, with few minor changes to meet
local conditions. The Committee re-
jected a proposal for the insertion of
the recall of all officers, except judges
of courts of record. 1t is specifically
shall be enacted contrary to the con-
stitution of any general law of the
state" By a vote of to 6, the COM
mittee refused to adopt a propos al for
counties to initiate laws. The elec-
ton on initiated measures shall be
held only at the regular state, Con-
gressional or municipal elections. For
the initiation of state measure, it
shall be necessary to file petitions
from each of at least Is counties, bear
ing the signatures of at least one-half
the designated percentage of the elect
Ors.
The Committee on State Finance ad-
opted a proposal permitting municip-
alties to call elections for the issuance
of bonds, provided that 1.-THE bonded
indebtedness of any such county or
city shall never exceed, at any time,
five per centum of its total taxable
property as ascertained by its last as
sessment for taxation for general pur-
poses 1t is further provided that
"all Indebtedness which may be here
after created by any county, city,
town, or municipality in any year in
excess of it's revenue for such year
shall be absolutely void"

CORN AND SOY BEANS A
FINE COMBINATION

Last year we broke ten acres with
three-horse riding pillow as deep
as possible, then worked down to a
good seed bed, planted corn about
three feet apart with a two-row
planter, and followed in the same
rows with another two-row planter,
planting one peck of Mammoth yell
low soy beans to the acre, not so deep
as the corn however.
When up good we narrowed twice
to the row with a fourteen-tooth Gull
tivator. Later the corn and beans
were plowcd three times. After the
last working we used the same four
teen-tooth cultivator to level the
ground.
We harvested the corn and beans
with a corn binder, tying same in
bundles, making them easily lilaled.
