Freak pole damage during storm puzzles Calham
G F Calham, wire chief for the local telephone company, reported a strange event near the Mound where thirteen poles stood in a row. Twelve were split from bottom to top as if by an axe, yet not a single wire or limb was damaged while one pole remained uninjured. He suggested underground causes rather than lightning and asked what the Lord is doing.

Cincinnati Man Promotes Freezone For Corns
A Cincinnati authority explains that applying a few drops of a drug named freezone to a tender corn or hardened callus will stop soreness, dry it up, and lift the corn without pain. He claims it dries immediately, never inflames surrounding skin, and a small bottle costs little at drug stores. Millions of American women may welcome the remedy amid high heel fashion. If a real druggist lacks freezone, ask to order a bottle.
