DoNNELLSON. Feb. 16.--Rural
Lee county today revolved around
Hugh l.. Cooper, the builder Of the
big water power. The farmers were
deeply interested in lectures on soils
and comparisons of years OF seed corn,
but from daylight to supper time, the
name OF Cooper was on their lips. IN
the rainy hours OF the morning the
questions were whether Mr.. Cooper
would certainly speak at the county
institute and whether the farmers
could get through the roads to hear
him. At o'clock the word went out
over all the telephone lines that he
was coming sure on special train
and the farmers began to plunge
through the mud for Donnellson.
When Mr.. Cooper's special pulled
iii early this afternoon, the people at
the station looked with wide eyes at
the construction work engine which
pulled the private cara locomotive
OF the type never before seen here,
labeled In big letters: "Keokuk and
Hamilton Water Power Coz
With all the honors possible in a
country town on a rainy day, Mr..
Cooper was escorted to the hall and
the farmers received him with intense
interest.
The farmers of Lee county have not
been kept up to date on the water
power and perhaps for this reason, II
was the most important address Mr.,
Cooper has made. He filled his aud
ience with interest and enthusiasm
and made strong impression on his
+ auditors-som of the most sanely
sensible men in the country. His adj
dress was on the benefits of the In
stallatlon to the farmers of this coun-
ty by providing them a market.
incidentally, Mr.. Cooper made a
personal conquest of good will at this
Farmers Institute.
Five Dollars an Ear Corn
The award OF prizes for the best

list.
The last thing late this afternoon
was the auction Of the prize winning
ears of corn. Mr.. Hauser told The
Gate City representative that some Of
the ears are worth at least $50 for ten
ears. Lee county seems to be possess
ed Of good seed corn and there was
nothing exciting in the bidding.

morning was a lecture on Agricuitur

The Quickest, Simplest
Cough Cure
Easily and cheaply Made at
Home. Saves You So.

This recipe makes pint of cough
syrup-enough to last family long
time. You couldn't buy as much or
as good cough syrup for $3.50.
Simple as it is, it gives almost in
most obstinate cough in "a hours.
This is partly due to the fact that 1t
is slightly laxative, stimulates the
appetite and has an excellent tonic
effect. 1t is pleasant to take-chil-
dren like 1t. An excellent remedy,
too, for whooping cough, sore lungs,
asthma, throat troubles, etc.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar
with "a pint Of warm water, and stir
for 2 minutes. Put 21a ounces of
Pinex 600 cents WORTH in pint bot
tie and add the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps
perfectly. Take teaspoonful every
one, two or three hours.
Pine is one Of the Oldest and best
known remedial agents for the throat
membranes. Pinex IS the most valu.
able concentrated compound Of Nor.
way wfxte pine extract, and is rich in
guiaicol and all the other natural
healing elements. Other preparations
will not work in this formula.
The prompt results from this rec
ipe have endeared 1t to thousands OF
housewives in the United States and
Canada, which explains why the
plan has been initiated often, but
never successfully.
