STATE PRINTING DELAYED.
Trouble Experienced In Getting Wor'
Let Under Contract.

Let Under Contract.
Special TO Times Republican.
Dies Moines. Nov. 1.-THE state of
Iowa is having trouble with that part
of its public printing which is done by
contract and the delays are exasperat-
ing to the limit. 1.
The printing and publishing OF the
reports containing supreme court de-
cisions is in the hands of Chicago
firm which has had the work ten years
and is now working on second con-
tract. The books are published In Chi
cago, the printing is done in Cincinnati
and the paper is bought in Dayton. The
firm last spring excused some delay on
the ground that the Dayton flood had
made ii impossible to get the paper
on the contract they had. But. altho
COPY has been furnished, so 1t Is said,
for FIVE volumes beyond those already
delivered none Of the FIVE are IN the
hands of lawyers and courts. The last
number received was 154. The supreme
court reporter has sent the copy Tor
ward for 159.
1t is assumed that the real trouble
is the contract was at price that VIII
not be Immediately profitable, hence
the company has no incentive to haste
in getting out the books. The COM
pany really depends on later sales for
its profits, the price at which the books
are sold to lawyers being less than
actual value Courts and the lawyers
are complaining Of the delays. 1tused
to be the fashion to blame the official
reporter for delays. but the present re-
porter is able to make a clean showing
of promptness.

that the demand could not longer be

into Iowa by its owner after Aug. 1
is in the same position as to registra-
ton at half price as car bought of a
dealer in Iowa, as to registration az

ing four years. tho out of commission

granted for old machines
These two points were cleared up in
a decision from the attorney general
to the secretary Of state, because of
the questions being raised by appli-
cants for reduced rates on motors.
The provision as to new cars bought
late in the year refers to cars that
are purchased from dealers after most
of the year is gone. But in broad
sense the purchase is to be regarded
as the equivalent of acquisition, and

Simple as it is, it gives almost in
slant relief and usually conquers an
ordinary cough in "a hours. This is
partly due to the fact that it is slightly
laxative, stimulates the appetite and
has an excellent tonic effect. 1t is
pleasant to take-children like it. An
excellent remedy, too, for whooping

cents WORTHY in a pint bottle, 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 most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway white
pine extract, and is rich in guaiacol and
other natural healing elements. Other
preparations will not work in this
combination.
The prompt results from this mixture
have endeared it to thousands OF house
