GIRLS! YOU CAN
LIFT THEM OFF
Doesn't hurt a bit to lift your
sore, touchy corns
right out

A noted Cincinnati authority discov-
cred new ether compound and called
1t freezone and a quarter ounce of 1t
now can be had for few cents at
any drug store.
You simply apply u few drops of this
magic freezone upon tender corn or
painful callus and instantly the sore
ness disappears. then shortly you will
find the corn or callus so loose that
you can lift 1t off with the fingers.
You feel no pain. not a particle OF
soreness, either when applying freez.
one or afterwards, and 1t doesn't even
irritate the skin.
Hard corns. soft corns or corns be-
tween the toes, also toughened cal
luses, just shrivel up and lift on so
easy. II is wonderful! 1t works like
a charm. Try 1t!
Women should keep it on their
dressers and never let corn ache
twice.--Adv.

lunches and Omens.

With u great many people, the
bunch needs no excuse. 1t has proved
itself, notes an exchange. Such per-
sons are not necessarily superstitious,
although the following of lunches and
belief in omens usually go together.
Once n person has been saved from a
mistake or bodily harm by changing
plans in obedience to a bunch he cam
not be prevented from expecting such
warning ever after. He may walk I'M
der ladder or look at the moon over
which shoulder IL Is that's wrong
without thinking of the consequences,
but If he has bunch to cross the
street suddenly you can bet he will do
so and nothing can stop him. The
mere fact that no chimney topples to
the ground in the spot he would have
passed had he not crossed does not
undermine his faith. He knows there
was some good reason.

a GOOD START.

The manner in WI ich members of
die canvassing committee were received
mt the various homes which they visited
last Monday is proof positive that the
people of this town realize the value of
concentrated action in the Thrift
stamp movement to the government.
Few houses visited did not have small
amounts ready and waiting to ex-
change it for one of these "Baby
bonds which are going to help win
the war.
A spirit such as was shown, while
perhaps no greater than that which
has made every patriotic movement in
ahis town a success. is certainly worthy
Ut commentator. The amount sub
scribed is small in comparison to the
results of other campaigns, but the
significant fast still remains that the
Thrift stamp committee was not after
large amount at the start as much as
"a wanted ito place a Thrift. stamp in
every homo in the village, and in this

SAVE Sc Ed CORN.

That the supply OF seed corn in this
sountry is very low is. shown by the
activity of many dealers in canvassing
che country in an effort to secure suffi i.
sient to supply the demand, which for
khis time Of the year is larger than
usual. For many years past, the cas-
Germ states have relied on the middle
western producers to meet their de-
mands, but this year much corn is be-
ing purchased that will be shipped to
western states where the shortage is
alarming.
Of all the grains ra sed in this sec.
hon of the state, there is none more
profitable than corn. The average far.
ner has found that ensilage corn is be
coming real necessity and that it is
next to impossible to secure the maxi
mum supply of milk from their dairy
herds without it. Corn on the cob or
shelled has variety of uses for which
shere are no substitutes, and at the
present high prices offered many far
ners will be influenced to dispose of
such quantities as-will create short
age here.
Connecticut and nearby states raised
u fair crop Of corn last year and the
greater part of it matured, while in
the west the early frosts rendered
shousands of acres unfit for seed pur-
poses. 1t is very important that far
mers retain sufficient seed corn fol-
their own use, as native grown seed
Germ is much more prolific than that
imported from other states. Supply
she demands at home first and sell
emily the surplus for export, is the
course advised by experts at Storrt
college.

Oldest Living Creature.

Among the oldest life forms on the
globe is the shellhsh, known as the
lingula, specimen of which was
taken from Manila bay several years
ago. The genus, according to scien-
lists, has remained practically unal-
tered for more than 100,000000
years. With the extraordinary changes
of climate and environment since the
world began most forms of life with
which science is familiar have been
transformed or have altogether dis
appeared since the geologic ages.
THAT the genus lingula," says the
Journal of Heredity, SHOULD have sur
vived for all these ages, and under
gone virtually no change, is striking
evidence of the fact that the germ
plasm, which under some conditions,
as in the case of the horse and the
dog, is capable of extraordinary varia-
ton, is under other conditions remark
ably constant"

Letters From the People.
TIE LITTLE PATS.

We, of Meadowland Farm, are be-
friending and harborlng Huns this
winter. Yes, but they are feathered
Huns like those we fed and sheltered
in the old Bee house years ago We
wouldn't disgrace q hyena by calling
it a Hun now. So these Hungarian
Partrjdges have their last name short
ened to Part with the lett out, the
way old fashioned Yankees pronounced
the word.
These little Pats camp down in
the orchard but few rods from the
house and there they find three square
meals day of rye scattered all over
tie place. I, myself, do not think
Hoover will begrudge these lite Pats
the rye they eat. Corn is too large for
their bills to manage.
The orchard Is not their sleeping
place; where they have slept is found
sometimes by the Hunter. Trader and
Trapper of oG1 family-the younger
son He has found deep bowl like de
pressions in the snow close against
rocks or bushes in the pastures and
uplands where the little Pats have evil
IDENTIFY spent the night. They, like our
native partridges, sit in circle facing
out, where they retire for slumber
One stormy afternoon I thought, as
it drew toward night that the Pats
were going to sleep in the orchard
they hal filed up on rye (that sounds
rather liquor:sh) and sat there letting
the snow blow over them until they
were almost covered up with it; fin
ally, when almost dark, they took an
other round or two Of rye seed and
flew to some more sheltered spot.
! Some days they fill up on rye and
then sit in circle around one of the
apple trees. If an investigating dog
comes too near them, away they go A
few days ago, we'll toward dark, one
little Pat headed toward the house and
soon the rest followed. They sheltered
across the garden deep drifts and
stopped close to the porch under lilac
bush; then [ had a good view of them
so close could see their little dark
eyes shine. They looked as fat as
teat1ered cubs.
One late afternoon little Pat left
the bunch and standing few yards
from the others began netulant call
! that sounded like "Me-a-Klng, Me
-a-King'', with the word king
drawn out in q the most pecuish whiu.
ing drawl as insistent and teasing as 6
fretful sleepy child's. The rest paid nc
! attention to him but kept on filling or
with rye, but still he persisted witt
his "Me-a-K-i-i-n-g" until one
other little Pat walked toward him fol
all the world as if he were saying tt
, the rest, Come on fellows, let hin
! Be king if he wants. to; if he'll only
stop his noice lets go with him. The
rest of the little Pats then left theil
feed, and joined the petulant king
and at a given signal from him, which
could not SEQ, they all arose as one
! bird and went sailing away over ths
top to somewhere in swamp or pastur,
land.
These little Pats are assured of {
/ good living this winter and we hop,
/ no fox will get them.

50TH ANNlVERSA AIRY.
Greetings and congratulations
On this fifoieth birthday!

Greetings and congratulations
On this fifoieth birthday!
And You'll surely feel the presence
Of "the children" far away.
May I tell you what the home church
Has meant to mr. through all the
years?
1t has always spenned a rainbow
Through the glistening of the tears
1t has made faith rise triumphant;
1t has kept hope star alight;
1t has been a wondrous beacon
Making all life's pathway bright.
1t has comforted in sorrow,
1t has heiped me 20 be strong;
1t has given unfailing courage,
And has tuned the heart to song.
Like a crystal flowing fountain,
IT'S a power that keeps us true,
aud its splendid inspiration
Ever holds the best to view.
1t holds memories that treasure;
Precious and as pure as prayer;
Breathing out benediction
Like an incense, rich and rare.
Some who guarded, guided loved us,
Long ere this have crossed the bar;
But in going. drew us nearer,
For they left the gates ajar.
The dynamic of the churches
Through tho ages ne'er will cease;
And the influence so mighty
Will help bring the world to peace.
In renewing our allegiance
1t matters not where we may roam.
We will pray God blesssthe old church,
And the dear, dear folks at home.
