All the big gardening plans of thi humble scribe have about come t nothing. The dry weather has jus litterally dried up the whole business Anyway, we will keep on trying. Pos sibly the next round better succes will come. Miss Wessling, who comes to Unio: to deliver an address on bread-mak ing, belongs to the Bureau of Chem istry, Washington, and is an experl She will speak Saturday morning ii the rooms of the Chamber of Com merce, the hour being 11 o'clock. He subject will be "Bread-making fror Wheat Substitutes." It is a rare op portunity to hear this woman of na tional reputation speak, and the la dies, every one of them, should tur out to hear her. Kind reader, suppose you were th editor of some newspaper and "tool your pen in hand" to write for you editorial columns. What would yoi write about? War is in the air Great upheavals, the like of whicl the world has never seen, so fill th thoughts and make up the total ac tivities of men to such a degree tha it is hard to think of anything else And the war events are so tremen dous, so undecided, so uncertain, tha one finds it hard to write upon tha subject. Words have shrunk up con siderably since the coming of this war The raisng of more than a hundre< million dollars as a voluntary offerinj to the Red Cross fund in Americj within one week's time is a real tri umph. The result shows two thing! very clearly: We are, as a people decidedly in favor of the war, and w< are not a nation of mere "money grub bers." We have piled up millions, i is true; but it is also true that this vast wealth is held by its possessor! subject to the higher claim of hu manity. It was the easiest thinj imaginable to get people, rich ant poor, to contribute to this fund. Peo pie possessing but little of this world': goods pave liberally. People possess ing most wealth were equally liberal Tt cannot be said that this is a pool man's fight. Seems to us clearly evi dent that our rich men, North, South East and West, are showing up quit< gloriously. America! a great peoph and, may it please God, a peoph destined to perform great things ir the history of this mundane sphcr< ere many months pass on. Some there are who feel a bit doubt ful about raising so vast a sum to b< used up so quickly. But .such doubters arc indeed few and their fears ar< groundless. The money will be usee in a bTief period, perhaps three t( . six months. Another call will come and yet another, and another, wh( knows? Who cares? If it takes oui all, it will be cheerfully given, for having given our sons, shall we withholc anything else? We feel gratificatior over the humble part our own smal county played in the undertaking. Th? sum of nearly seven thousand dollars contributed in one week?'that waf not bad. I RUSSIA REJECTS - UNTRUE THOUGH! WILL REMAIN FAITHFUL T< ~ CAUSE OF DEMOCRACY. So Says Bakhmetieff?New Ambassa dor Again Pledges Loyalty of Great Nation to Liberty league. Washington, June 26.?In anothe stirring address today at the capito! Boris A. Bakhmetieff, head of Rus r sia's diplomatic mission, gave i ** solemn pledge that the Russian peo pie and army, "convinced that separate peace would mean the tri n umph of German autocracy," ar ^ prepared to fight on beside Americ _ until the world has been made saf " for democracy. The ambassador spoke before th ? senate and was given a reception al most as enthusiastic as that cccorde him Saturday in the house. On n previous occasion since the war be gan has senatorial reserve been cas so completely aside. At the conclu sion of the address a resolution wa adopted by unanimous consent ex pressing the senate's gratificatio: over the stand of the newest democ racy. "Russia Tejects with indignatio: any idea of a separate peace," sail the envoy. "Striving for a lastini peace based on democratic principle established by democratic will, th Russian people and army are rally - ing their forces around the banner of freedom." Many of the rumors of interna dissension in Russia, Mr. Bakhmetief said, grew out of misunderstandinj s of the great changes taking place ii o the whole fabric of the governmen ^ to transform it to democratic stand ards. ? Tonight the ambassador and othe i- members of the Russian mission wer given a reception by Secretary Lan sinp with President Wilson amonj the guests. .. ? ' i. ? MORE THAN 30,000 POLES n HANGED BY GERMAN ORDER! Zurich, via Paris, June 19.?Th - Polish deputy, Daszinski, declared ii . the Vienna reichsrath that more thai 30,000 Poles have been hanged by or n der of the German authorities, ac - cording to the Vienna Arbeiter Zei r tung, which prints special details o the sittings of the reichsrath on th' 11 14th and 15th. Deputy Striberny alsi i- described the abominable treatmen accorded political suspects, whereupoi the pan-Germanist deputy, Hein~ shouted, "They h /e not used the ropi n enough; all of them ought to hav been hanged." At these words all of the Slav am Polish members rushed upon Hein' and the president was obliged to sus e pend the sitting in the midst of a tre k mendous uproar.

This kind of rough talk will be heard less here in town if (people troubled with corns will follow the simple advice of this Cincinnati ; authority, who claims that a few tfrops of a drug called freezone when applied to a tender, aching com or hardened . callus stops soreness at once, and soon L > the corn or callus dries up and lifts ! - right off without pain. > He says freezone dries immediately ? and never inflames or even irritates 5 the surrounding skin. A small bottle ? of freezone will cost very little at any S drug store, but will positively remove 2; . every hard or soft corn or callus from 1 one's feet. Millions of American wo- ti s men will welcome this announcement , since the inauguration of the high ti heels. If your druggist doesn't have li > freezone tell him to order a small bott tie for you. u I W. O. W. NOTICE. 1 r F A regular meeting of Jonesville ^ f Camp No. 171, W. O.
