that will be greatly affected by the
640-ncre homestead act. which has
been passed by the present congress

signature. The measure will probably
be signed the latter part of this week.
Many people in Idaho are anxiously
awaiting the time when the terms of
the new law go Into effect, for they
are prepared to file on tracts of land.
Included in the list are nan/ who de

business, for the large area of land
allowed under an entry will make the
lands valuable for grazing purposes.
There seems to be a difference of

Tells Women How to Dry
Up a Corn So it Lifts Out
Without Pain.
Modern high-heeled footwear buckles
the toes und produces corns, and many
of the thousands of hospital cases of
Infection and lockjaw are the result
of . Oman's suicidal habit of trying to
cut away these painful pests.
For little cost there can be obtained
at any ph rmacy a quarter of an ounce
of a drug called freezone, which is
sufficient to rid one's feet of every
hard or soft corn or callus without
the slightest danger or inconvenience.
A few drops applied directly upon
the tender, aching corn stops the sore
ness and shortly the entire corn, root
and all, lifts right out. It is sticky
substance, which dries the moment it
is applied, and thousands of men and
women use it because the corn shrivels
up and comes out without inflaming
or even irritating the surrounding tis
sue or skin. Cut this out and try It
if your corns bother you.—Adv.

Nampa, Dec. £1.—Bonds In the sum
of $14,250 or the f'rst installment of
the $365,000 bond issue, recently re
funded by the Nampa-Merldian Irriga
tion district, have Just been puchased
by the Lumbermen's Trust company of
Portland for $14,330, or for $80 in ex

The bonds bear 6 per cent Interest
and mature in 10 years. The district
had another offer at par value.
Inquiries from 30 or 40 other com
panies had been received by Secretary
Remington, and their failure to bid Is
believed to be due to
their part that there would be further
advertisement for bids, resulting in
the bonds being secured at a great bar
