Th» people are well pleased with the work of the State Hitfh school at this place. It is meeting a long felt need in this section. , Mr. Joe Carter, of Mt.

"Ihnt Oermany'* Mil m.utne a'm. m t ler military arm, is the m« ace i-hich for the moment i e ' f-T he future welfare of the United States and the entente .illies is ocog ized by the chancellories of all the lowers which are at war wich Cer nany. The last days of A| i! aiv tlie ,nderwater boats send to the b tU m undrels of thousands of i f shipping, which means that htice quantities of ammunition and food stuff*, have been irretievably lost to the allies and made the pinch of want to these countries, their soldiers and their people more acute. Impetus is being fc'iven to the plans to combat the menace by all the coun tries at war with Germany, and hopes are expre .cd that shortly a check may be put to the inroads of the sub marines into commerce. That peace is not uppermost in the minds of s!S German officials appar ently is indicated by the advices be fore the T«io*M-n right up and lift out, without a particle of pain or sorene**. This druff is called freefone and is a compound of ether discovered by a L4ff cinnati man. Ask at any drug store for a small bottle of freezoB*, which will cost but n 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. Instantly the soreness disappears and shortly the corn or calliwill loosen and can be lifted off with th » fingers. This dnijp fr« -one doesn't • at out the corns or calluses iwt sin'..els them with out even irritating the surrounding skin. Just think! No pain at no sore ness or smarting wh«n applying it or afterward*. If your drug£:?i don't have free zone have him order it for you. That touch of discreet smartness which individ ualizes La France Shoes interprets the trend of fashion to an ever growing company of American gentlewomen. Yet there is more than style to commend them. Perfect fit and pleasing wear emphasize correct style—at a price too pleasing for purse-remonstrance. A. E. Steele . Shoe Co.
