cHokES TO DEATH.
One of Traer's Most Popular Women
Was III With Quinsy.

Special to Times-kepub:ican.
Traer. Feb. 9.-One of the saddest
deaths in Traer for the past few years
occurred this morning. when Mrs. Dan
lei Conner passed away. She was taken
ill on Friday of last week with quinsy,
but her condition was not considered
at all dangerous, in fact none but her
near neighbors and friends knew of her
sickness. Yesterday morning she was
taken with a choking spell, and died
before her husband or the doctor could
reach her.
Belle, only daughter of DR. and Mrs.
Parsons, was born in Traer thirty
nine years ago. She graduated from the
Traer high school in 1889, and went
from here to Champagne, ILL.,, to COM
plete her education. She was married
in 1893 to Daniel Conner, of this city
Four children have been born to them,
three of whom survive, Marjory, aged
II, Keith, aged s and Carm, aged 4.
The news of Mrs. Corners sudden
death has cast gloom over our little
city, for she was one of Traers most
popular and lovable women. Besides
the bereaved husband and children, she
is survived by three brothers. DR.. P. l..
Parsons, of this city, DR.. Carroll Par
sons, of Oelwein, and Linn Parsons, of
Iowa City; also mother, s,who not
many years ago buried four of her boys
inside of two weeks, of diphtheria, later
her husband, and now loses also her
only daughter. The sorrowing family
have the sympathy of the entire COM
munity.

awarded to the former company, the

The Booster Club held a meeting In
the rest room Monday and completed
the organization by electing D. A.
Lyons vice president. The question of
new hospital was discussed and it
was agreed that the proposition of the
Sisters Of Mercy Of Dubuque be ac-
cepted and the work of raising funds
begin at once. The proposition which
was submitted by d. A. Lyons is sub
stantially as fellows: Dr. Kessel agrees
to turn over to the Sisters the prop
| erty known as the Kessel hospital,
including eleven acres of ground, and
they will erect brick building to cost
$25, 900, provided the people of Cresco
contribute $4,000. Robert Thomson
said the proposition looked good to
him and he offered to head subscrip-
ton list with $1,000.
Clarence.
A burglary, a rare thing in Clarence.
took place during the stormy night OF
last Friday when Berry brothers store
was entered and about SO worth of
goods taken. An, attempt was made to
enter at the basement back door but
after pounding the door for a while
they went to the back porch and found
window had been left unlocked. They
were cestainly odd burglars. The
cash register stood open and had IS
or so in it, but the cash was not car
ried off They took thirteen pairs OF
mems shoes after trying them on, and
some dress goods, but not the best
From one piece Of dress goods half
ward was torn and the small piece left.
What this was done for is mystery.
Piles of goods were thrown down and
scattered about, giving the appearance
of spite work.

5 The i ONE PHYSICIAN
cThis Recipe Makes Very Handy
{ Remedy for Coughs and
roi1S

If medicine were always on hand so
that coughs and colds could be nipped
in the bud, there would be much less
illness from these sources. Most peo-
pie let cold or cough go until it be-
comes troublesome before doing any
thing for it. The time to act is be-
fore the newly caught cold has a
chance to make trouble.
The homemade remedy described
below will be found very handy and
effective thing to have in the house
ready for use. It is simple and easy
to prepare. Used when the first sSmp-
toms appear it wipes out a cough or
cold almost Immediately. Even if a
cough has reached most obstinate
stage this simple remedy is still able
to conquer it quickly-usually in "a
hours The formula is worth saving
Granulated Sugar Syrup ....1S1@ or
Take a pint of GRADUATED Sugar
add one-half cupful of water stir and
let it boil just moment. Put the 2 II
OF. Pinex GO cents worth) in a clean
pint bottle and fill 1t up with the Gran
ulated Sugar Syrup. If kept well
corked it will never spoil. Take
teaspoonful every one, two or three
hours, as required
Cough preparations, as rule, are
mostly syrup. GRADUATED Sugar Syrup
is both cheap and excellent. Pinex is
the most valuable concentrated COM
pound of Norway White Pine Extract
and is rich in guaiacol and other ele-
ments which give the ozone of the
pine forests fits remarkable curative
power in nasal, throat and lung dis
eases. There are many pine oil prep
arations, none of which can be COM
pared to the real Pinex itself. If your
druggist does not have it in stock. he
can easily get it for you on request.
This recipe is also splendid for
chest pains, incipient consumption,
whooping cough, bronchial troubles,
hoarseness and similar ailments.

Manly. Feb. 9.-One spring day
about thirty-tivs years ago on farm
a few miles from where the town Of
Manly now stands a man planted 4
small tract to white pine trees. Time
passed and the usual number of trans
fers occurred in the case of this farm
as in that of most of the surrounding
ones Owners came and went but the
pines remained. They are now about
fifty feet in height some of them six
teen inches In diameter. The present
owner is preparing to cut them down
and have them sawed into lumber for
a barn: the first performance of the
kind perhaps in the history of Worth
county and an object lession in prac-
teal forestry for every portion of the
country where the evergreen tlourishes
as it does here. The early establishment
of nursery In this section has re-
suited in the setting out of innumera-
BILE small groves or windhreaks of the
different varieties of evergreen trees
until at the present time they are to
be found on nearly every farm. On one
of these are trees which are estimated
to be good for 700 feet of lumber each.
The market value of white pine lum-
Der now is from $50 to $50 per 1000.
What it will be thirty Years hence. at
which time the experts declare that the
present timber supply will be eN-
nausted. it is difficult to conjecture. a
large number of trees can be grown on
an acre of ground. Seven hundred feet
in forty years is an average of seven
teen and one-hak feet annually for
each tree. Estimate the price for the
year 1949 and figure out the average
yearly income from the present day on
ten acres planted to white pine. But
human life is short and uncertain. Few
indeed would he the cases where the
man who cut the trees was the same
that planted them. Undoubtedly a
large amount of white pine lumber
will one day be manufactured from the
trees that are being set out for wind
breaks, at this time. Many more ever
greens will be put out here next year
and the next, but Notwithstanding the
possibilities OF fabulous profits in
growing white pine in large tracts for
numbering purposes 1t will not be at
tempted except in very rare instances.
The land is needed for the growing of
grains and grasses and the returns
tflerefrom are swift and sure.
The terrific wind which was a fea-
ture of the recent blizzard settled the
question Of superiority, so far as wood
en- and steel wandmills and towers are
concerned, in this part of the country,
at least. One man, a farmer living
in the vicinity of Meservey, did lit
tie investigating after the storm and
found that Of twelve mills demolished
in that community, all except one were
wooden structures and the only steel
tower to fall was blown down because
Of defective anchorage. Two reasons
are given for the large proportion OF
wooden mills that were destroyed. Most
