HolD to Make Pine
Cough Syrup at Home
Has no equal for prompt results.
Takes but a moment to prepare,
and saves you about 81.


Pine Is used in nearly all prescrip-
ti0ns and remedies for coughs. The
reason is that pine contains several
elements that have remarkable ef-
feet In soothing and healing the
membranes of the throat and chest.
Pine cough syrups are c0mbina.
tions of pine and syrup. The
"syrup" part is usually plain sugar
syrup.
To make the best pine cough REM
edy that money can buy, put ~
ounces of Pinex in a pint bottle and
fill up with homemade sugar syrup.
Or you can use clarified molasses,
honey or corn syrup instead of
sugar syrup. Either way, you make
a full pint-more than you can buy
ready.made for three times the
money. 1t is pure, good and tastes
very pleasant.
You can feel this take hold of q
cough or cold in a way that means
business. The cough may be dry,
hoarse and tight, or may be persist
emily loose from the formation OF
phlegm. The cause Is the same-in-
famed nembranes-and this Pinex
and Syrup combination will stop il
usually in "A hours or less. Splen-
did, too, for bronchial asthma,
hoarseness or any ordinary throat
ailment.
Pinex is a highly concentrated
compound of genuine Norway pine
extract and is famous the world
over for its prompt effect upon
coughs.
Beware Of substitutes. Ask your
druggist for "2Iz ounces of Pinex,"
with directions, and don't accept
anything else. Guaranteed to give
absolute satisfaction, or money re-
funded. The Pinex Co, Fl. Wayne,

DERRICK TINlBERs BEING
PLACED FOR SECOND TEST

A location has been made for a
second test well within about a half
mile Of the Fields we'll recently abaI-
doned, and derrick timbers are now be-
ing placed on the ground; The new
location is slightly northwest of the
former test, and is about six or seven
miles north Of Arcadia in the edge
Of Claiborne parish. The we'll will be
drilled by the Orleans Producing &
Refining Co., under contract with the
Arcadia Ruston Oil Corporation.
1t is part Of the contract that this
well shall be drilled to depth of
5000 feet unless oil or gas is found in
paying quantities at a lesser depth,
E. Knox Elder, a we'll known
geolOgist, made the location, and will
make locations for all other wells that
may be drilled under the contract.
The showing Of oil obtained in the
Fields No. ! was OF a quantity and
grade to attract the attention of oil
men throughout the state, and the new
test will be watched very carefully
from the beginning.
Reports Of a reliable nature are to
the effect that within the next few
weeks two more locations will be made,
one about 2 miles northwest Of Ar
cadia in the W. D. Ray neighborhood
and the other about 3 miles northeast
Of Arcadia on acreage being blocked in
the neighborhood Of F. W. Pentecost's
land.
J. W. Cavanaugh and Mr.. Nc.
Reynolds of the Homer Fields Oil Cor.
poration, are in Arcadia this week in
! the interest Of that company. Whethe
they will put down another test on

Some weeks ago we wrote an article
discussing the road question and the
spending Of the road money as We have
done from time to time since July,
1919. Mr.. ThurmVnd answered the
article and began it by stating that
Fools enter where angels dare not
tread.' We presume that Mr.. Thur
mond threw this at the Democrat as
we feel sure that he believes that he
does not come under the ban of such
Il saying, and We would not be so I'LL
kind as to say that it applied to him.
He could as easily and truthfully have
said the hit doc howls,' and this
would have been applicable to the
Democrat, and POSSIBLY to a lot Of the
people in Bienville parish as the
Democrat and the people have been hit
with high taxes and the eXtrayayant
expenditure of the public funds until
we feel like bowling, but again, the
Democrat would not be SO unkind as
to say that this saying Of the Hit dog
always h0Wls' applies to Mr.. Thur
Mond in the least.
We look upon the expenditure of
ne million dollars as a very serious
proposition. 1t means that the people
must pay about two million dollars in
principle on bonds and interest on
them. They have voted this debt on
themselves for thirty years in order
to have good roads built. How built:
Not by the Police Jury, because
plice juries are not road builders. No,
the citizens and taxpayers Of Bienville
parish voted for the bond issue with
the understanding that the roads
would be built under the supervision
Of the Highway Department, and that
the funds derived from the sale of the
bonds would be supplemented by State
and Federal aid. The Democrat be-
lieveS that the ordinance calling the
election with the stipulation therein is
a contract between the taxpayers and
the Police Jury-a contract in which
the taxpayer has carried out his part,
but which the Police Jury has 50 far
evaded.
If We don't set good roads, the tax
payers must pay the debt anyway,
Yes, we think this is a serious PROPOSE
ton.
MIR. ThurmOnd tries to evade this
seriousness and makes light of every,
thing that is said, either telling a
story about osme whiskey drinker who
used to be WAGNER, or some old
darkey who carried his wool hat under
his arm when it rained because the
hat belonged to him, and his head to
