Raise,

Tomorrow is the last day Of the
sessions Of the city council sitting
as a board Of review Of assessments.
All real estate in Iowa was assess
ed again this spring. The complaints
Of over assessments were much less
in number this year than for many
years or ever before.
Yesterday was a busy day with the
board, and Its work was nearly COM
pFeted then, SO that today it is not
very busy.
The most marked increase in as
easements is out Rand park way. ALI

There is little question in the mind
of the writer that Richie could have
lasted the remaining time left for the
scrap. Hence, 1t seemed tragic that
the lion hearted westerner should
have been brought to such a defeat.
He had put up a courageous fight
struggling constantly against the most
difficult odds he ever vas called on
to face.
Leonard smashed right and left in
rapid fire attack from the opening
gong to the end and Richie took them
all. Leonard's terrific punching could
rot beat down the man who defeated
Ad Wolgast.

round by a left hook hat would have
stopped the average fighter then and

Leonard received aid from an as
sistant who reposed in one corner.
His Job seemed to be to advise Referee

Richie apparently is through. There

TELL YOUR WIFE
CORNS LIFT OFF
Doesn't hurt a bit to lift corns
or calluses off with
fingers

Not a twinge Of pain or soreness
before applying, or afterwards. Thi'
may sound like a dream to corn
pestered men and women who havt
been cutting, fling and wearing tor
tuous plasters. Yes! Corns lift on
and calluses peel off as If by magic
says this Cincinnati authority.
A quarter ounce of freezone cost
but a few cents at any drug store
Apply a few drops directly upoi
your tender corn or callus, and in
stantly the soreness disappears
then shortly the corn or callus will
be so loose that it lifts off.
Freezone dries instantly. 1t doesn'
eat out the corn or callus, but jus
shrivels it up so 1t lifts away with
out even irritating the surroundint
skin. Women should keep 1t On tn
dresser and never let a corn or cal
lus ache twice.

The loan seems to be dragging
woefully and the amount subscribed

solicitors.
People seem willing to buy their
share Of the bonds. but many have
not been solicited.
Work Half Done.

Mis-. Christine Petersen

Nothing has struck this community
so sadly in years as the sudden TAX
ing away of Miss Christine Petersen
by death last Thursday evening. She
had only been taken i'll the Saturday
previous, and then the influenza and
other complications were thought like
other cases only temporary But an
illness that had been wearing on her
since last fall had so effected her
system that she could not overcome
this latest malady
Miss Petersen was one of our most
lovely young women. For over TWEEN
ty-six years she had clerked in the
same store, and her acquaintanceship
was widely extended. Her sweet and
quiet manner made her an ideal
saleslady, and few there were II any
that did business at the big store but
wanted her exquisite taste and coun-
sci in buying. She first took posi-
ton with E. w. Bittman in his store
where the Rexall drug store now
stands, it afterwards moving across
the street and becoming the C. M. c.
She stayed with the store after Mr..
Seifert took hold in 1913, and had
been a faithful employee up to the
time of her late illness. The family
is noted for it's clock like precision,
and Chris" as she was lovingly
known, had the daily routine down to
the swing of the pendulum.
Christine M. S. Petersen was the
eldest of two daughters born to Mr..
and Mrs. Chr. Petersen, two of our
most respected citizens. She was
born in Nakskov, Denmark, Feb. II,
1876. The family came to America
in 1887, taking up their residence in
Oakes April 4th of that year Chris
tine entered schoo! at once and in
1892 had finished all grades. At that
time it was not high school. She
entered the store as clerk shortly
after. Besides her aged parents she
leaves one sister, Mrs. j. e Bunday,
of this city.
On account of the nature of the
disease private funeral was held from
the residence Saturday afternoon at
one o'clock, being in charge of Rev.
James Opie of the M. E. church. De-
ceased was confirmed to the Luth-
eran faith. The floral offerings were
simply profuse and very beautiful.
Burial took place in Cakes cemetery.
