I believe there will be very good stands for the late planting will soon come up?the ground is warm and everything is favorable for a good stand. I think from what I see and hear the farmers have planted plenty of com and feed stuff to make enough to do them if everything is favorable and that is the idea. Another good crop year and good prices prevail and the farmers as well as other businesses will be over the top. God knows our needs and will supply our wants if we will onlv do our part and the most people are trying to do their part. I never ' now a time when there were any more burdens to bear than now and ?il ,i us are burden Djinr-. are we iot? But some have a harder burden than others and vv ought to help lift it. If the war don't make us forget prejudice and hatred and all such vile things, I do not know what ill. I believe this war is a warning to the people and may be only the beginning of sorrows and troubles. I am 30 glad to see the patriotism in this country as well as other places? among the women of our land, they are doing a great work, being loyal to their country, their State and their nation. One writer said "the hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world." No matter how small the gift may be it is all right in the sight of God and we ought to do more, remember the widow's mite and give, give, give until your heart says stop to the great Red Cross, which is helping to save your boy and mine. I was at Lockhart Saturday and they had several young ladies on the I committee collecting for the. Red Cross and one young lady said she had collected $58.00 and she wanted to make it $?'.().()<) and she got the amount in about twenty minutes, so you see, what the young women are doing. 1 attended the children's service at! Bethlehem last Sunday night and their; exercises were fine and As I sat and looked on and listened at the recitations by the little boys and girls, a thought came to me?there is our future generation. Some good seed were sown and these children and parents and the trainers of the children, could not be commended too highly.

DESERVES A GOLD MEDAL FOR THIS Cincinnati authority tells how to dry up any corn or callus so it lifts right ofT You corn-pestered men and women need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati authority, because a few drops of freezone applied directly on a tender, aching corn stops soreness at once and soon the com loosens so it can be lifted out, root and all, without a bit of pain. A quarter on an ounce of freezone costs very littlest any drug store, but is sufficient to take off every hard or soft com or callus. This should be tried, as it is inexpensive and is said not to inflame or even irritate the surrounding tissue or skin. If your wife wears high heels she will be glad to know of this. ESCAPES FROM GERMAN PRISON CAMPS .. Uoi?iih?>u, iuuj <si.? correspondence of the Associated Press)? From a Belgian who has escaped into England after three years of captivity in German prison camps, the Belgian legation here has received interesting details of the clumsy efforts of the German conquerors to alienate the Belgians of Flemish extraction froir their countrymen of Walloon descent as practiced anions Belgian prisoners in Germany. The project, which has been described a3 stupidly conceived and executed Juul "*iCsG)irth, the advices spy, in the "tarns of ( the. Pan-German'?ts whe V*ould set up in northern Belgium a Flemish state that would assume the status of a German protectorate. The first advances were made toward the Belgians of Flemish extrac tion confined in the prison camps They were segregated and forwardec to other prison centers where they were treated with some degree of kindness in an effort to win their support in establishing the new state, All measures calculated to win ovei the prisoners failed miserably, said legation's informant, and the groups remained indissolubly Belgian. Parts of the letter describing the German intrigue foilow: "The plan of the Germans was to concentrate all the Flemings in the camp of Gottingen, to give them privileged treatment under the supervision of a civilian, Professor Stange, of the Gottingen University, and to induce them to join the activist movement aiming at the separation of Belg iuni into two political states, Flanders falling under Germany's direct or indirect control. "In the course of duly, I decided, with a few companions, to volunteer for Gottingen in order to counteract the enemy's intrigues. We found there Professor Stange and a few of his activist disciples hard at work. Stange was practically the commander of the camp We were treated with great consid* ration by the sentries, the sys- [ tern of blows and threats was suspended and we were much surprised to be addressed as "Herrschaften." "Tie 'converted' me were only a very small minority including some students and artists. Happily the new regime allowed the patriots to speak out and to unmask the traitors. Dur work was made considerably easier through the interference of two members of the "Council of Flanders," Uorms and Weert. Their interference wiiiii'? i niange s r lemish activity as u purely German manoeuver and one by one the prisoners ceased to attend the Club "Fursorge." "At the same time the regime in ramp changed entirely. The "Herrschaften" were again "Schweihnde" and a new commander was sent to the camp. The civilian had failed in his mission and the military exerted its former power with a vengeance. "Most of the Flemings at Gottingen (nearly 10,000 passed through the camp) were sent to various kommandos. The number of Stange's conversions among the Flemish prisoners might be almost a hundred. Even the fear of being sent to a salt mine did not induce more than one man in a hundred to lend a patient ear to separatist propaganda." Don't Let Catarrh ?
