its own story that people in this count
are so patriotic and recognize con

America win the war, that the check
ing up by means OF flour cards is un

Cards Not Necessary.
Flour cards were not necessary afte
yesterday. The message grocers re
ceived from Russell this morninl
reads:
The flour cards have been such
decided success in letting every
citizen OF Oklahoma county know
the need for wheat conservation
and the response by the people has
been so generous. that conservation
has reached such a high point OF
efficiency that the county food ad-
minisnator deems II unnecessary TO
ooQkinue the use OF flour cards.
7ne merchants have generally
tShown sueh patriotic cooperation
thst they may be depended upon to
carefully follow the plan OF selling
not more than six pounds per cap
ita to any consumer.
They should use discretion and
avoid making sales to strangers
without Investigation and thus
avoid the possibility OF customer
going from store to store to gather
. surplus.
Savings Still Needed.
Such merchants as are willing TO
watch the matter carefully need not
keep a record OF sales OF flour,
bread or any wheat product, and
need not punch cards Would ask
that you take up all cards and when
you have a quantity mail them TO
our office. Remember that the need
for conservation still exists, even
though the cards are discontinued.
The county food administration
desires to express appreciation for
the splendid cooperation OF the
merchants in making this plan q
success.
All the machinery data and card

POLES IN FRENCH TRENCHES.
Ii is Part OF Division That Will Aid
I'm Stopping the Germans.

Paris, June 19.-Fighting under
the national flag Of Poland, the first
Polish regiment Of the first Polish d.
vision entered the front line trenches
opposite the Germans to-day.
Within the sound Of the roar of
cannon and in the presence Of civil
and military authorities the regiment
received it's battle flag and entered
the war on the side of the allies.
"It is reply to Germany's conten-
tion that the Polish question Is set
tied" said Gen. Archinard, chief of
the Polish mission to France.
Poles who have escaped from Ger
many and Poland, or who have sue
cceded in leaving America and other
countries, form the bulk Of the Po-
lish legion which may shed its blood
tomorrow against German autocracy
in the defense Of liberty and the au-
tonomy Of Poland.
Among those present at the simple
military ceremony were NJ. Il. ".
Dmowski, representative of Poland
accredited to the allied governments; !;
Major Coolidge, representing the
United States; Gen. Merrone, Italy;
Gen. Gouraud, France; Capt. Cell
good, Great Britain, and Gen. Archi-
nard, who will command the Polish
forces.
Amid an impressive silence the
chaplain Of the regiment, facing the
troops and raising both hands above
his head. gave them this oath:
Il swear before God, before the
Holy Trinity, that in allegiance to my
country am ready to give up my
life to the last drop of blood in the
service Of the holy cause of Poland,
to obey my chiefs and to remain true
to Poland, one and indivisible."
The Polish soldiers cheered as they
repeated the oath.
Gen. Gouraud then confided the
Polish flag to the safe-keeping Of the
legion as Polish military band
played the Polish national anthem.

Cincinnati Man Discovers Drug that

Good news spreads rapidly and
druggists here are kept busy dispens-

a Cincinnati man, which is said to
loosen any corn so 1t lifts out with

A quarter Of an ounce costs very
little at any drug store which han

ficiont to rid ones feet Of every hard
or soft corn or calluo.
You apply just a few drops ON the
tender, aching corn or toughened
callus and instantly the soreness is
relieved, and soon the corn or callus
is so shriveled that 1t lifts out with
out pain. 1t Is sticky substance
which dries when applied and never
inflames or even irritates the sur
rounding skin.
