buying outside the Dominion and pre-
dicted that the adverse trade balance
would slowly and surely destroy
Canada's financial stability.

ordinary cough in n hours or less.
Get ~ ounces of Pinex from any
druggist, pour It into a pint bottle
and add plain granulated sugar
syrup to make q full pint. If you
prefer, use clarified moIasses, honey,

Story Told About Hamer False.

Among the Unions callers yesterday
was Peter M. Schelin of Milaca. Upon
being asked whether there was any
truth in the story that Senator Hamer
was one of the prime movers in the
county seat proposition, Mr.. Schelin,
whose word is reliable, said it was
untrue. He stated that at the cream
cry meeting Mr.. Hamer was asked to
go on a committee to boost the re-
moval of the county seat but refused,
saying that, as senator, he represented
all the people of the county and there
fore it was his duty to remain neutral.
The story circulated about Mr..
Hamer is unfair in every way and, it
seems, was manufactured out of whole
cloth bolshevist enemies to injure
his good name.

COUNTY CONVENTION
Attendance Light in Consequence of
impossible Condition of the
Country Highways.
Three Ladies Among Delegates Elect.
ed to Attend the State Con-
vention in St. Paul.

The republican county convention
was called to order by Chairman Fred
Newton at 11~o'clock yesterday morn
ing in the court house. Mr.. Newton
explained that the convention was
called for the purpose of electing nine
delegates to the district convention to
be held at the Nicollet hotel in Mime
apolis on Friday, March 19, and nine
to the state convention in the audi
torium, St. Paul, on Saturday, March
20.
Very few towns were represented in
consequence of the condition of the
roads, which are in some places prac-
tically impassable. It was a most
harmonious convention, however, the
presence of lady delegates being per
haps partly responsible, as men are
liable at gatherings Of this sort to
engage in verbal fights.
Senator Hamer Of Milaca was elect
ed chairman of the convention and
Knute Ellingboe of the same place
secretary by unanimous vote. John
u. Phillips of Milaca was appointed a
committee on credentials and H. F.
Mann Of Wahkon, c. C. Eberhardt of
Milaca and Henry Plaas of Princeton
committee to canvass the presiden-
tlal preference returns.
This committee reported that the
returns from the precincts which had
reported gave Wood a total of 76
votes, Lowden As, johnson "a, Harden
4 and Poindexter 1. On motion of E.
l.. Mcmillan the report was accepted.
The precincts represented were Prince
ton village, Princeton township, Mil
aca, Wahkon, Milo, Borgholm and
Daley. II
The nomination of delegates was the
next thing in order, Mr.. Mcmillan sug-
gesting that as many American legion
boys as could be obtained should be
selected. A short recess was then
taken and the following delegates
were nominated and, on motion Of Mr..
Mcmillan, elected by acclamation:
To the district conventional. C.

The District DecIamatorv ro,4,

-
Last Friday the winners of tba 7oo.7
contest in the state declamatorv 1eao,,o
went down to Excelsior to attend tho
district meeting. Although we wore
not lucky enough to be named the
olstrlct winners, still we do not feel
defeated, for our defeat was of :.
technical nature rather than +b.+ d,,o
to inability. In the girls contest the
speakers were limited to ten minutes
for delivering their selections; and
failure to keep within the specified
time was counted against the speaker.
The timekeepers insisted that Mildred
Howard took more than her allotted
time, and for that reason disquali-
fled her as a winner. Her delivery,
however, was excellent, the judges
themselves being unable to find any
fault with it, either for tone, enuncia-
ton, gesture or dramatic ability. Ac-
cidents, of course, may happen at any
time, and we feel confident that this
affair was an accident-unavoidable
perhaps, but nevertheless an accident
for as dramtic speaker the reader
of Jean Desprez held her audience
from the first minute, and SO was her
power to picture that, every listener
was tense when the climax was
reached. She showed remarkable tai
ent and deserved the winners place.

STOCKS AND BONDS

NEW YORK, Sept. :. - Develop ments and general advices over the long holiday were favorable as inter preted by the speculative element, judging from the early coure Of to- days stock market. Dealings were active and broad. but there was liule to justify reports of any pronounced increase of public interest.
 Publication of the terms of the new French loan. which constitutes the largest financial undertaking or the year. the better statements of the fed eral reserve and clearing house banks and an increase in the diViden' on Mexican Petroleum were among the propellins forces of the day.
 Announcement Of the French nego- tiation confirms rumors of payment at maturity of the $500, 900 Anglo French war flotation This will be accompanied by imports of the French account of a large amount of gold. some of which is already in transit.
 Far from reflectins this prospect, however, exchange on London and Paris was heavy, the French rate breaking sharply. The rates to Bel gium, Spain and Germany also react ed. The local money market was fairly easy, much of the days call loans being made at per cent with an advance to per cent at the close. More time money was available for three months. few loans running in to the next wear
 Industrials and specialties were mainly higher at the outset and dur ing intermediate period, oils. steels and equipments advancing later. Last weeks demand for rails fell off per ceptibly and selling for profits can celled money advances at the irregu- lar close. Sales amounted to 600. 900 shares.
 Railroad issues were again the most stable features of the bond market, the Liberty group and internatfonals easing from best quotations. Total sales, par value, amounted to $9,40O,- 900. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.
