ONE OF NATURES
COMMON TRICKS
Acts just like a wireless mes
sage and OUCH is
the answer

Press an electric button and you
form g. contact with live wire which
rings the bell. When your shoes press
against your corn it pushes it's sharp
roots down upon a sensitive nerve and
ouch you get a shock of pain.
Instead of trimming }. your corns,
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 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 never inf1ames or even irri-
tates the surrounding skin.

station until the work is complete.
Driver Woods and Kuns inspected
No. 4 truck and found trouble with
the spark plugs Similar trouble was
previously experienced with this car.
A, mechanic employed by the makers
will be here to determine the cause,
The new pump was worked out
from a city hydrant on Silver street
today, for the purpose of instructing
Drivers Leyden and Woods in the op-
ration of it. The nev . operators
handled the pump nicely and oh
tanned excellent streams of water

The methods employed in break
ing the bunch grass sod in the sew
entities were depicted by Charles
Burnham, pioneer farmer, who drove
a team of three antiquated white
horses, the oldest of which had lived
through % years, before foot
burner" The patched and battered
harness, the dilapidated pillow and
other appurtenances typical of the
trying days of the pioneers blended
perfectly, causing the Burnam page
ant to be branded as one of the best
of the parade by old timers who had
turned the sod with just such out
fits. incidentally, Mr.. Burnham re-
lated incidents of the early days of
Whitman county farming, which
were entertaining, even though they
might have been purposely slightly
exaggerated. He told of one farmer
who used rawhide tugs on his pillow
teams. During heavy rain these
tugs would contract, bringing the
pillow under the horses feet, while on
hot days they would expand, causing
the farmer to use a four-horse whip
to reach his cayuses.
Early day amusements were repre-
sented by set of quadrille dancers,
with a lusty lunged caller, dancing
the early day favorite to the tune OF
an organ, fiddle and guitar

the Palouse country in 1880 to seek
work on the railroads were shown.

A number of very important mat
ters pertaining to war stamps and
Liberty Bonds were up for discus
sion. Charles Mackenzie presented
the bankers par in the war stamps
campaign while John P. Duke pre-
sent some peculiar problems in con-
nection with the banker and the Lib
erty Bonds.
Few people are aware of the ex-
ira amount of labor that has been
placed on the working force of the
banks by reason of the financial war
drives. In a number of cases many
of them have worked until late hours
of the night. In order to relieve the
situation somewhat, the bankers
passed the following resolution, hop
ing that the pcopl would assist
them:
owing to the increased amount
of work imposed upon the banks at
this time by assisting the war actiVi-
ties-all of which we Willingly as
sume-it is necessary that we have
