Children love this harmless frnit laxative," and mothers can rest easy after giving it, because it paver fails to make their little "in side" clean and sweet. Keep it handy, Mother!

TenEyck supervisor of the county schools was first on program, she having spent the week previous as representative of Anson in the Book er T. Washington school, Tuskagee, Ala., made the best report oi any gave none. We feel proud of her ef anA tnil She told in detail of the work accomplished in the rural districts. By Miss lencyc airs. F. C. Williams, of Washington, D. C, was introduced. Represent ing the sanitation and health department of the state, she in round terms and scholarly chat addressed this unique meeting of teachers and farmers. Her earnest ness in exertion was so profound that she had her constituents well nigh charmed. So much so that the fall inir of a oin could have been heard in the court room. The career pur sued by her was telling every word a simple truth. Amidst her sex there is but few if any peers to be found, nd verv few male sex in our ranks to surpass her in speeh or eloquence. She was a God sent blessing to Anson countv. One ofher telline facts was that the little grains of sand on the seashore, behold how ting and small are they, yet by being united they hold the great water of the great ocean in its bounds and can't pass, nave bv the hand of Uod. one was showing the power of a nation who are united, especially leading up to the great necessity of co-operating in the war struggle with our govern ment and being every one loyal-to our colors. She also talked along the lines of health, this too was grand. R. J. Beverly presented Mr. W. T. Ray of Greensboro, agent on agricul ture. He came before the body, his topic being the corn club. He gave us a splendid talk on growing and how. He also made appeals on the war situation, also the uncalled for migration from the South to the North, by the negro. He said one boy realized $150.00 from one acre of corn. Then Prof. W. C. Bivens, Co. Supt. came before the body asking and requesting each teacher to organ ize eacn school before closing this present term into a Red Cross Junior School, asking each pupil present to give 25c for this purpose. Then Mr. IT. B. Blalock food administrator of Anson fin., asking what are you do- inr to bpln ficht this ereat war? He then distributed a lot of literature to be carried into each home. Mrs. Red fam ramp with a verv verv broad but short address and she then show ed and compared the quantity of lard and sugar used by the consumers of nH that of EuroDe that us ed by the American consumer being about four times as much as tnat us ed by the consumers of Europe. That we should conserve and use less to help in the trenches in France. Prof. tfluwfcrd of A. -ouge, ixreens boro, N. C, spoke very cheerfully lb the body praising Anson for having made progress along many lines of intelligence, one was awu an impuo ing court house, supervisor of colored schools, farm demonstrator of county for the colored farmers. Mr. R. J. Beverly our neighbor and brother is doing more this year in the great up lift, nf his neonle. He is spending much time, labor and means in the struggle for conquest, tie is doing more for and with nis people wan any day in the past history of his life. He is sticking to his bush. Let every one do his or her best to have this world-wide war to end with de mocracy on the top. J. T. RATLIFF. BAPTIST UNION MEETING.

SALE AP-OFFICE WONDERFUL STUFF! LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS Apply a Few Drops Then Lift Corns Or Calluses Off With the Fingers No Pain. No humbug! Any corn, whether hard, soft or between the toes, will loosen right up and lift Out, without a particle of pain or soreness. This drug is called freezone and is a compound of ether discovered by a Cincinnati man. v Ask at any drug store for a small bottle of freezone, which will cost but a trifle, but is sufficient to rid one's feet of every corn or callus. Put a few drops directly upon any tender, aching corn or callus. In stantly the soreness disappears and shortly the corn or callus will loosen and can be lifted off with the fingers. This drug freezone doesn't eat out the corns or calluses but shrivels them without even irritating the sur rounding skin. Just think! No pain at all: no sore- afterwards. If your drug have freezone have him order it you. NOTICE OF SALE. State of North Carolina, Anson County: Under and by virtue of a certain mortgage executed by Charlie How ell and wife.

Executor of the Last Will and ONLY SAFE COURSE FOR FARMER IS TO PRODUCE Washington, March 16. "The on ly safe course for the farmer of the south," says Bradford Knapp, chief of the office of extension work in the south, United States department of agriculture, "is to produce the food for the south upon the farms of the south this year." The department asks the co-opera tion of every patriotic man and wo man to see that its message of in creasing southern food production goes to every farmer of the south be fore the planting season is over. "It is folly," the department says, "to imperil our safety, especially when the exchange value of cotton shows that the prosperity of the south is not founded upon cotton alone, but last year grew out of the fact that we did grow a large por tion of the needed food and feed. "Food for the south produced in the south is a vital item of national de fense." Will Be in France By July Insuring Adequate Protection of XJ. S. For ces Some Delays Admitted. Washington, March 15. Ameri can built battleplanes will be in France by July, in sufficient quantity to insure adequate air protection of the sectors then hold by American troops. This statement rests on the hitrhest authority and was made to night' with full recognition of all fail ures and disappointments that have hampered the development of the air program. Figures on the aviation situation as well as facts and figures on every other branch of the government's war preparations, were laid today be fore virtually the full membership of the house military committee, as yes terday they were disclosed to the sen ate tommittee. Acting Secretary Crowell again presided at the session in the rooms of the war council at the war department, where the new policy of taking Congress directly in to the confidence of the executive branch of the government, was launched. The comment of Representative Kahn, of California, ranking Repub lican member of the house commit tee, expressed the sentiment of the house members on the new policy. He said it means team work by the whole government on the enormous prob lems that face it. The figures re vealed to the committee, the imme diate current demands of the war program and the progress being made in meeting them, he added, made it clear that the country was still unawakened to the enormity of its undertakings. It was disclosed to the committee members that the airplane production program in the United States, is to day substantially 60 days behind what had befen hoped for by the most sanguine officials. The foreign con tracts which were to have provided the initialfighting equipment forGen eral Pershing's air forces, are still further behind. There is every pros pect, however, that some of the delay will be made up. Even should the 60 days lost time stand, however, and even though there should be no deliveries on the European contracts, General Persh ing will receive a considerable num ber of American built planes by July. Estimates of the time required to get a completed battleplane from the fac tory in the United States to the front have been placed at 90 days. The war department is now concentrating its ng tnas 'penea, wim of cutting it in half. Keep your children in good health The greatest menace to health in old or young is constipation.

GERMANS HAVE PLENTY OF GUNS BUT LACK AMMUNITION London, March 9. Andrew Bonar Law, in his speech in the house of commons Thursday, in discussing the situation on the western front, stated that while the Germans have a nu merical superiority in guns the bal ance in ammunition was in the allies favor. "It is obvious." he said, "that the Germans, having captured so many guns, have a great superiority in guns; but the power of their artillery has been limited to a great extent by the buodIv of ammunition, and I be- lieve it is needless to fear danger of superiority in guns any more than in men on the western front. Morover, our overwhelming air superiority will go far to neutralize the supenonty in guns."
