even have died as the names were
taken from the assessment rolls OF a
year ago. Others can be exempted
upon showing of facts satisfactory to
the committee. Only 140 Of those who

quircs report on every person who
should subscribe but fails.

It Works! Try It
Tells how to loosen a sore,
tender corn so 1t lifts
out without pain.


Good news spreads rapidly and drug
gists here are kept busy dispensing
freezone, the ether discovery Of a Gin
cinnati man. which is said to loosen
any corn so it lifts out with the fingers.
ASK at any pharmacy for a quar-
ter ounce of freezone, which will cost
very little, but is said to be sufficient
to rid ones feet Of every hard or soft
corn or callus.
You apply just few drops on the
tender, aching corn and instantly the
soreness is relieved, and soon the corn is
so shriveled that it lifts out without
pain. 1t is sticky substance which
dries when applied and never inflames
Or even irritates the adjoining tissue
This discovery will prevent thousands
of deaths annually from lockjaw and
Infection heretofore resulting from the
suicidal habit of cutting corns.

Trouble Brewed by Factory EmPloye
Settled by Apology.

Statements made by A. e. Francisco,
an employee of the American Machine
Products Company. which was brewing
trouble for Francisco among his fellow
employees because of what he said re-
gardng liberty bonds, has been settled,
it is believed, by Francisco voluntarily
writing an apology for his words.
When Francisco was solicited by
President f. a. Francis he is reported
to have replied that "he had other uses
for his money" When again solicited
BY one Of the workmen, Francisco is
quoted as having used vile language
regarding the bonds.
This caused workmen to organize
movement to force Francisco to show
his loyalty, but Saturday Francisco
subscribed for 500 bond and later he
wrote an apology.

WATERLOO PLAN FOR WAR
ACTIVITIES.
LOCAL WAR ORGANIZATIONS
ARE IN FAVOR OF THE PLAN

War Activities Thru Ward Captains,
Lieutenants and Sergeants-Water
loo Put Over Third Liberty Loan in
Single Day.

Marshalltown may adopt the Water
loo plan of war service league, with
a man in command Of every square
block in the city to handle all war work

loan committee has recommended that

the council of defense, liberty loan, war
saving stamps, Red Cross, Y. NJ. G. A..
the food and the fuel administrators
were requested to report to the county
council of defense plan Of organiza-
ton which will meet the requirements
Of each activity.
The Waterloo plan put over Water
loo's liberty loan in one day. 1t was
adopted by Cedar Falls, and from
a. m. to 10 a. m. that city subscribed
$1,000 above it's allotment on the
third liberty loan.
Z Is Permanent Organization.
The substance of the plan is per-
manent organization to handle all war
activities. Ward captains have their
wards subdivided under lieutenants.
who. in turn, have every block in the
permanent charge of sergeants. The
sergeant takes an oath before notary
not to divulge confidential information
as to the people in his district, and he
then becomes the personal custodian
of information as to every war service
or contribution performed by each
family in his district. When a drive
starts allotments are made by the ward
captains and their licutenants and the
sergeants go out and get the amounts
in a very few hours.
Whatever is done for Marshall coun-
tv will be done by the county council
OF defense, which already is in charge
Of war work for this county. In the
townships subdivisions corresponding
to old school districts will be made the
smaller units.
