GOOD PROSPECTS FOR
COMPLETING HIGHWAY WORK
On Main Market Route GA Between
West Union and Russellville at
An Early Date.
The West Union Defender says:

The West Union Defender says
A delegation from the West Union
Business Mems Club, composed Of T.
w. Ellison, J. o. McMans, s. R. Edg-
ington and C. E. Frame, went to Co.
lumbus the first Of the week to confer
with the State Highway Commission,
and to present to the commissioner the
resolution recently passed by the
county commissioners acceptin the
States proposition for the completion
of work on Main Market Route No. Ga
on the section between West Union
and the Brown county line.
The delegation was given the assur-
ance that the portion Of this route
from West Union to the Brown COUP
ty line,, not already sold, would be ad-
vertised for contract sale at once.
The estimated cost OF this work is
$4,000. The state Is to furnish $780,
900, leaving $4,000 to be paid by the
county, Tiffin and Liberty townships
and the abutting property owners.
The Brown county commissioners
have agreed to cooperate with Adams
county in holding the road to the orr
ginal route, and are arranging with
the state for an early advertising Of
the six miles from Russellville to De-
catur and the Adams county lines.
The action taken by the Brown
county commissioners to cooperate
with Adams county is told in the fol-
lowing article taken from last weeks

CHURCHES MAKING
SPLENDID SHOWING
INCENTENARY DRIVE
Although Intensive Drive Does MOI
Begin Until Middle Of May, Much
Work IL Being Done Now,
Says Local Pastor.

Although the intensive canvass OF
the Methodist Centenary Movement for
the Christian reconstruction OF the
world does not take place until May
the 18th, the churches Of the Cincin-
natl Area are making splendid pre-
liminary showing according to reports
which have been received by Rev. W.
H. Morris, pastor of Forest Avenue NJ.
e. Church.
FIFTY churches have already gone
over the top',-each one with show
ing Of from twenty-five to fifty per
cent. above the quota assigned for the
five year program. There is one case
so far, where the showing Is practical
ly one hundred per cent above the
quota. Just as one hundred years ago,
John Stewart, colored man, began
the missionary work of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, so in the Centenary
movement, which is in part a COM
memoration of that event, colored men
have set the pace in achieving the f.
nancial goal so far as the Cincinnati
area is concerned. With but fraction
of the churches having completed
their work, the Chicago District of the
Lexington Conference, which is in
cluded in this Area is already "over
the top" as district, with its quota
and a considerable margin. There is
every indication that when the final
returns are in, the colored churches
of this district will have largely ex-
ceeded their quotas.
The Centenary organization is to
give every possible assistance to the
Victory Loan Drive. The sixty-nine
hundred Minute Men are making
speeches in behalf of the loan. They
are also devoting their attention to the
interest of employment for returned
soldiers, setting aside Sunday, May
4th, for the emphasis on this impor-
tant subject.

Good news spreads rapidly and

A quarter of an ounce costs very

be sufficient to rid ones feet of ev-

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 a sticky sub
stance which dries when applied and
never inflamcs or even irritates the
adjoining tissue.
