Most of the forenoon was taken UP
with canvassing the situation In the
different counties regarding the seed
corn situation and as to the damage
done corn planted by being washed out
by recent heavy rains. The seed corn
situation as whole in central Iowa
is fairly satisfactory, and the damage
done to corn seeded by heavy rains
while, in some places, was quite gen.
eral, was as q whole spotted. There
are some limited sections in this coun-
t. where some corn will have to be
planted again because seed was
washed out bp rains Of last week. This
afternoon was devoted entirely to dis
cussion Of questions Of farm manage
ment and the formulating Of plans for
cooperation between agents and coun-
ty farm associations to promote more
effective work in ell the counties.

AMUSE ENTS.
At the Strand.

A change Of bill was made necessary
Sunday night at the Strand because Of
the failure of the advertised feature,
William S. Hart in Selfish Yates" to
reach the city in time. AT the last mo-
ment the management was compelled
to substitute and put on "Raffles, the
Amateur Craftsman" with John Bar
rymore in the leading role, which had
been booked for Thursday and Friday.
While some may have been disappoint-
ed by the change, the play proved to
be one of the best showings for some
time, and the great majority of the
capacity house present appeared to be
we'll satisfied.
The play, which is society drama,
featuring the exploits of Raffles. tells
a good story that is woven around the
theft Of the Melrose jewels, has plenty
of rapid action, good dramatic situa-
tons, and follows the adventures Of the
gentleman crook, who steals from the
rich to give to the poor.
John Barrymore as Raffles gives
thoroughly good Interpretation of all
that the character requires, and is for
tunate in being surrounded with most
capable supporting cast.
The preliminary offering is a comedy
entitled, 1.-The Dynamiters."

LISTEN TO THIS!
SAYS CORNS LIFT
RIGHT OUT NOW


You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from 1ockjaw or blood poison
are now toli by Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone. which
the moment q few drops are applied to
any corn, the soreness is relieved and
soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts
out with the fingers,
It Is sticky substance which dries
the moment It ts applied and is said
to simply shrivel the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the surround
ing tissue or skin. It Is claimed that
a quarter Of an ounce Of freezone will
cost but very little at any Of the drug
stores but It Is sufficient to rid ones
feet OF every hard or soft corn or eai-
lus
You are further warmed that cutting
at corn is q suicidal habit.

WAS SHE A FOOL?
Successful Business Man Expresses
Opinion As to One Kind Of Woman.

Opinion As to One Kind Of Woman.
We surprised a wellnforrned and
successful husinss man today by tell
ing him that we frequently find women
who are SO short sighted as to object
to their husbands carrying life in
surance. 1.-The FOOLS" exclaimed this
successful business man, cant they
see that they run the risk every day
of having to take in washing to support
their kids If the bread winner is lost?
A husband and father who earns 500
per month is worth more net income
to his family over and above what he
eats and wears than the interest in
come from $4,000 loaned out at per
cent Is there woman so foolish as to
let $4,000 worth Of property go over
night without fire insurance? Don't all
women know that death is more GER
tain and more frequent than fire loss?
My life insurance goes up and down
with my debts just as buy extra fire
insurance when I get in extra. goods.
Any woman who would oppose in
surance on the life that must earn the
family's living Is fool" he said.
''What can she be thinking about?"
That was the vigorous opinion de-
livered to us last Saturday. Think
about it. Shove & Son Insurance

posed of ten men, was the surprise Of
the meeting, rs Marshalltown had been
generally conceded to have a chance
to finish far up in the tournament.
After finishing among the leaders in
the Simpson and Iowa City meets
with more than twenty points, Mar

located and not located best to connect
the ditch with any project for drain

BUY STAMPS WITHIN COUNTY.

Residents Urged to Guard Against
Loss Of Credit to Marshall County.
Residents of Marshall county served
by mail carriers from postoffices out
side Of this county are requested and
urged to purchase their war savings
stamps from some postoffice within
Marshall county in order that their
precincts in Marshall county and Mar
shall county itself may receive credit
upon its allotment.
Postoffices outside of the county
must remit to the central offices for
their own counties and other counties
thus get credit for the cash received
from pople living inside Of Marshall
county.
Everybody should see to it that his
stamp money is credited to his own
county, for the government is going to
require shortages to be allotted in the
fall and purchases made up to the
minimum far each county. Some Of us
are in danger Of causing our county an
extra assessment when it's people have
actually bought the required stamps
outside. D. w. Norris, Chairman War
