Funds Needed for immigration Jaunt.

Pierre.-When the legislature appro-
priated out $4,000 for the operation OF
the immigration department for it's
first year, the commercial clubs over
the state agreed to assist in swelling
this sun for the proper showing on the
part of the state. In this line a num-.
Der Of the clubs have been sending in
cash to assist in making a showing at
the Chicago and ST. Paul land shows,
and this has been credited to the fund
for the department.
The department has also received an
invitation for this state to join in the
Governors Special which is to be a
train of nine cars which leaves st.
Paul about the 25th of November for a
months tour of eastern states, to be
accompanied by the governors of diff
ferent northwestern states, and also
to carry exhibits of the states interest
ed. The state is asked to donate
81 800 for it's share of the expense OF
this trip, but there is not any fund to
draw on for the purpose, and unless
funds are furnished by commercial
clubs for that purpose, it is not likely
that this state can take a part in this
movement.

Township Bonds.

Pierre.-Many townsmen in the
western part of the state are taking up
the matter of bonding their townships,
and incidentally with road construc-
ton, the building of dams for the i'm.
pounding of flood waters, to retain
as much of the surface water as they
can hold. Ash Creek township. in
northwestern Stanley, will vote on an
issue of $4,000 for that purpose, and
Hayes township In the same county
on an issue of $1,000. In the vicinity
of Murdo, in Lyman county, five differ
ent township have taken up the work
with sums ranging from $4,000 to So
600. The state immigration depart
ment has taken up the work of secur
ing purchasers for such securities, and
finds that when they. can secure the
securities of several townships in a
block they can get better offers than
for smaller issues of single townships.
This work will mean, when completed,
that the public highways in the west
ern counties of the state will be
among the best of dirt roads, and the
townships benefited not only by their
roads, but by the water they a hold
in the dams as well.

Stops a Deep Seated
Cough in a Hurry
A Family Supply Of Unequaled Cough
Remedy for 50c-Money Re-
funded IF It Fails.

Cough medicines, as a rule, contain q
large proportion of plain syrup-a good in
gredient. but one that anyone can make.
A pint Ci graduated sugar, with l-2 pint
of warm water, stirred for 2 minutes, gives
you as good syrup as money can buy.
A 5O-cent bottle of Pinex, mixed in q
pint bottle with homemade sugar syrup,
gives you a full pint of really better cough
syrup than you could buy ready-mixed for
$3.50. There's a clear saving of $500. Full
directions in package.
And money couldn't buy a quicker,
better remedy. Takes hold at once, gives
almost instant relief, and usually stops
the most obstinate, deep-seated cough in
"a hours. 1T stimulates the appetite, is
slightly laxative and has a pleasant taste
children take it willingly. Splendid for
hoarseness, asthma, chest pains, and other
throat troubles, and unequaled for prompt
results in whooping cough.
Pinex is a special and highly concen-
trated compound of imported Norway
White Pine extract, and is rich in guaiacol
and other natural healing pine elements.
Simply mix it as directed with sugar syrup
or strained honey, and it is ready for use.
Used in more homes in the U. S. and
Canada than any other cough remedy.
Pinex has often been initiated, but never
successfully, for nothing else will produce
the same results. The genuine is guaran-
teed to give absolute satisfaction or money
refunded. Certificate of guarantee is
wrapped in each package. Your druggist
has Pinex or will get it for you. If not,
