GERMAN PAPER IS
HARD ON CRITICS

New York, June i5.-Germany's pro-
paganda abroad is scored In political
review published in the Berlin Tage-
blatt which says:
Those who have some view OF the
situation have noticed with deep sur
prise the astonishingly large number
OF persons who have been working
abroad in the interest of Germany since
the beginning of the war. 1t Will be
exceedingly interesting at some later
date to learn some details regarding
the number of these energetic work
ers sent abroad.
When the war broke out the CON
viction spread here that Germany had
done too little for the moral CONQUEST
OF the world that our means were in
adequate and our methods too obso
lete. Grasping the spirit OF the time
and the occasion. personages of every
standing imbued by a spirit of sacri-
flee Immediately offered to remedy con-
ditions and every one who claimed to
have relations with foreign countries
was sent out on mission.
Adventurous plans were accepted
with thanks and furthered and that
propaganda was taken up which was

which most effectively spoiled every
thing that was left to be spoiled"

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 a contact with a live wire which
rings the bell. When your shoes press
against your corn it pushes its sharp
roots down upon a sensitive nerve and
you get shock of pain.
Instead of trimming your corns,
which merely makes them grow, just
step into any drug store and ask for
a quarter of an ounce of freezone.
this will cost very little but sufficient
to remove every hard or soft corn or
callus from ones feet. A few drops
applied directly upon a tender, aching
corn stops the soreness instantly, and
soon the corn shrivels up so it lifts
right out, root and all, without pain
This drug freezone is harmless and
never infiames or even irritates the
surrounding skin.

Merchants Association
Loses President

Manila, P. l., March 1O.-Much re-
gret is felt at the decision of Mr..
Harold M. Pitt to resign as president
of the Manila Merchants Association.
During his past five years of service
Mr.. Pitt has been most active in his
work to promote the commercial in
terests of the Philippine Islands. He
has condicted publicity campaign
to bring to the attention of American
capitalists the advantages of invest
ment in the islands, and has worked
hard to secure legislation in the
islands favorable to the advancement
of their commercial prestige. The
Manila Merchants Association Re-
view, compiled and edited by Mr..
Pitt, has been consulted by business
men throughout the United States and
quoted in all the important trade jour
nails and business publications, and
has done much to promote the inter-
ests of the islands. Mr.. Pitt has Of
fered his assistance in the editing of
future numbers of the Review, and
will also serve as a director of the
association.

A representative of the State Tax
Commission was in Union yesterday
to meet with the County Board of As
SCISSORS, Auditor Betenbaugh and a
number of citizens.
From all we could learn, Union
County has been paying upon a high
er levy than many other counties in
the State. The movement to have
all property returned at 1000 of it's
value, then pay upon 1920 of that
value are the requirements of the Tax
Commission. Many who have been,
under the old arrangement, paying
too much, will pay less, many who
have heretofore been paying too little
will pay more from now on.
The representative of the commits
sion yesterday gave full assurance
that all those counties that did not re-
quire the returns to be made on the
1000 basis, will have to go over the
work, the auditors being required to
add the per cent necessary; all will
fare alike-Union County and all 9TH
ers.
1t seems to us very just and wise
move. 1t certainly will help towards
equalizing taxes. 1t will get at quite
a number of tax dodgers, many of
them being such without intent to do
wrong. 1t will, in the end, reduce the
State tax levy. The representative
of the State Tax Commission compli-
mented Auditor Betenbaugh upon his
faithfulness in carrying out the or
ders.

To the People Of Union
and Union County!

I wish to thank you for favors
of the past, but also to ask you
in an informal, friendly way if
my house still stands at 100 per
cent with you in service and sat
isfaction; in short. is there any,
thing, no matter how insignifi-
cant, that you recall that has or
can place any prejudice in the
way of continued business. I
ask this broadly, let it include
prices, delivery, attention or
courtesy, anything, in fact. that
could in the remotest way mil
itate against more business and
greater satisfaction for the en-
suing year. If you visit our
place we are sure you will not be
disappointed in our brand of
hospitality, for we shall feel a
real pleasure in meeting you.
We have on hand one of the
best stocks of meats that we
have been able to get since we
opened our market in Union.
We also carry a complete line
of canned goods, dried fruits,
etc.
If our service does not please
you call Al and we will make it
right.
