Vick's VapoRub is quicker and
better than internal medicines for
cold troubles and is particularly
recommended for children, as it
does not disturb their digestion.
The heat of the body releases a
soothing pine tar vapor that is in

addition, VapoRub absorbs thru

COLD WEATHER
DANGER THAT POTATOES WILL.
FREEZE In THE GROUND.

Sioux Falls, Oct 29.-Many thou
sands of bushels of South Dakota po-
tatoes are in danger of being frozen
and destroyed because sufficient
men cannot be hired to dig them.
Strenuous efforts now are being
made to find some manner of saw
ing the potatoes and getting them
out of the ground Recent cold
weather froze the surface of the
ground and badly damaged some of
the potatoes yet in the ground. but
the great bulk of them yet are in
good condition and will prove a valu-
able crop II they can be harvested
within a few days and placed in a
safe place. Such potatoes as are
saved will have to be dug before the
ground freezes to a greater depth.
The recent freeze damaged only a
small part of the crop yet in the
ground, and if the entire crop is
saved ii will be necessary TO sort the
tubers and keep separate from the
others those which have been dam
aged by the freeze.

Boise project. Reclamation of othei
units of the immense area embraced II
the Black Canyon district is promised
as furture undertaking in the pro-
posed contract. How this may be ac-
complished is not disclosed, but is
pledged when found feasible.
1t is claimed there will be no oppo-
sition whatever to approval of the con-
tract, reclamation of their lands at the
earliest possible moment naturally be-
ing much desired by the land owners.
Once the contract is signed by the dis
trict directors and government Off
Gals there remains the necessity Of
obtaining an appropriation from con-
gress as means of financing con-
struction work. That it may be pos
sible to get this appropriation put
through during the approaching win
ter session is the belief of those inter
ested. In that event construction
work could be started next summer,
after the funds became available.
The cost to the settlers for reelama-
ton of their lands is to be fixed at
$40 an acre, the same charge as that
made in organized districts of the
project proper.
