puzzled IN their diagnosis. The best

cases of eczema, and in curing acne,

rheum, rash, BARRIERS and other forms
Of itch, scaly scalp, and all surface
skin affections.

Beat Eight Iowa Counties.

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: Iowa's
best eight counties last year produc-
ed crops worth s2~9,7S3,O15 and
South Dakota's best eight counties
produced crops worth $31,324,310.
Thus eight South Dakota counties
beat eight Iowa counties by a crop
production Of $1.541,295. We do not
speak of this at all in a boasting way,
because South Dakota has long since
passed the point where boasting is
necessary, but we mention the fact
just to keep the record straight.
There was a time when land in Iowa
sold for $40 an acre more than land
across the line in South Dakota, only
a few miles distant. But that time
has gone by and no investor any
longer asks any discount because of
the South Dakota name.
