California Fine Place for Sand
Lizards

Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Ball returned
Monday from San Bernadino, Calf,
where they spent the winter. Mr.. Ball
is glad to be back in Minot where
there is something doing. He says
California is all right for anyone who
is content to lie around on the beach,
covered with sand for half a day at a
time, but one soon grows weary of
such a life Business conditions are
not the very best in the west. The
fruit growers are hard hit. One
lemon grower could not find market
for his fruit, so he built a large bin,
placed the best lemons in one end and
the poorer ones in the opposite end
and put up signs, 1Oc and sc per doz-
en-. He put box in the center Of the
bin in which to drop the money. Peo-
pie come along, help themselves and
drop in the money. Oranges are sold
at the rate of 3 dozen for 25 cents and
many orange growers will tell you
to go into the orchards and help your
selves. The apartment owners are
making some money, charging S35 a
paid $50 a month rent for four
room mousse miles Oul Ol LOS All
geles. One sees SO many crlpples and
sick people in the west. Old men,
some of them wealthy and wearing 3
karat diamond rings, are holding down
jobs of running electric elevators in
order to keep busy. The California
wineries are putting out a brand of
wine with a fearful kick in it. Ar
rests are made occasionally The ma
tive Californians are making consid-
cradle moonshine and some is brot
across from the Mexican border.

California Land Remains High

J. n. Lynch has returned from Los
Angeles, Calf, where he spent the
winter He says the crop of tourists
was immense in the west during the
past winter, 10000 going there from
Iowa alone. The Iowa farmers sold
16 cent hogs and $40O land and had to
have an outlet for their surplus coin.
Not much California land is changing
hands, tho the price has not dropped
much. Plenty Of land is still being
held at from $4,000 to $4,000 per acre.
Oranges are selling at 5 cents a dozen
in California and there is no market
for lemons. Thruout California there
are signs on the lemon orchards tell
ing people to help themselves to the
fruit. The growers are anxious to get
the lemons picked.

Operations Performed on 1877 Children
at Divide County Clinic

DR.. Archie MCDANIEL, chairman of
the Ward County chapter of the Red
Cross, spent three days in Divide
county recently where he held clinic
for the Red Cross chapter Of Divide
county. Miss Black, the Divide coun-
ty Red Cross health nurse had paved
the way for one Of the best clinicts of
it's kind ever held in the west. There
were dozens Of boys and girls in Di-
vide county who, on account of the
poor crops Of the past four or five
years, have been unable to have their
tonsils removed and this work was
done for them thru the agency Of the
Red Cross. Miss Black arranged for
the parents to bring their children
in. DR.. MCDANIEL was accompanied
by his nurse and at Noonan DR.. Smith
joined him. They spent day at
Fortuna, where the school house had
been converted into hospital for the
occasion. Forty beds with clean linen
had been provided by the Fortuna
ladies and in the one day 80 opera
tions had been performed for the re-
moval of tonsils. The following two
days the clinic was held at the Divide
county court house at Crosby, where
beds had been arranged. In the two
days. ninety-eight operations had
been performed at Crosby, or 1877 in
the two days. Whatever charge may
be made for these operations will go
to the Divide county Red Cross when
ever any of the parents feel that they
are able to pay for them. DR.. Nc
Camel states that he never met with
a finer lot of boys and girls in his
life. They never let whimper out
of them while being prepared for
their operations.

Sheep Paying Investment for Burling'

Sheep Paying Investment for Burling-
ton Grower
Chas Ouradnik, president of the
Ward County Farm Bureau, is quite a
successful sheep grower. Out of 96
ewes he has secured l21 lambs, saving
101 of them. He saved sc per cent
out of the first 100, fine record. The
lambs will give him some excellent
breeding ewes next fall and he will
have enough sheep for market to fill
one deck. Sheep are up $500 per cwt.
this week. Mr.. Ouradnik says the
sheep, even at present prices, are the
best money makers he has on his farm.
They are wonderful cleaners, not let
ting any hay or grain go to waste.
In addition, they are great weed de-
stroyers. They are great pets, just
what the children need to keep them
interested in farm. Every farmer
ought to have from six to a dozen
sheep. They are easily kept in North
Dakota. Mr. Ouradnik has kept his
sheep in an open shed all winter. One
should be careful to keep them free
from snow. Mr.. Ouradnik says the
North Dakota farmers should make
their own wool comforters. Two or
dinary sheep will furnish enough wool
for three warm comforters. One can
card enough wool at home in an even
ing for one comforter NJ. D. Gra-
ham of Burlington now has 25 sheep
and is delighted with them. The time
will come when there will be scarcely
farm in this section Of the state
without sheep, Mr.. Ouradnik predicts.

Homemade Remedy
 Stops Coughs Quickly
The best cough medicine you ever used. A family supply easily and
 quickly made. Saves about S2.
***s**.:**s-.******

You might be surprised to know that the best thing you can use for a severe cough, is a remedy which is easily pre- pared at home in just few moments. It's cheap, but for prompt results it beats anything else you ever tried. Usu- ally stops the ordinary cough or chest cold in 24 hours. Tastes pleasant, too children like it-and it is pure and good.
 Pour 21a ounces of Pinex in a pint bottle; then fill it up with nlain granu- lated sugar syrup. Or use clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup, If desired. Thus you make full pint-a family supply-but costing no more than a small bottle of Ieady-made cough syrup.
 And as a cough medicine. there is really nothing better to be, had at any price. It goes right to the spot and gives quick, lasting relief. It promptly heals the unframed membranes that line the throat and air passages, stops the annoying throat tickle, loosens the phlegm, and soon your cough stops en- tirely. Splendid for bronchitis, croup, hoarseness and bronchial asthma.
 Pinex is a highly concentrated com pound of Norway pine extract, famous for it's healing effect on the membranes.
 To avoid disappointment ask your druggist for 'F21a ounces of Pinex' with directions and don't accept anything else. Guaranteed to give absolute satis- faction or money refunded. The Pinex O., Fit. Wayne, Ind.
