quickly made. saves about <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 prepared at home in just
a few moments. It's cheap, but for
prompt results it beats anything else
YOU ever tried. Usually stops the
ordinary cough or chest cold in "a
hours. Tastes pleasant, too-children
like it-and it is pure and good.
Pour 2s ounces of Pinex in q
pint bottle; then fill it up with plain
granulated sugar syrup. Or use clari-
fed 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 ready-made cough
syrup.
And as a cough medicine, there is
really nothing better to be had at
any price. 1t goes right to the spot
and gives quick, lasting relief 1t
promptly heals the inAamed mem
branes- that line the throat and air
passages, stops the annoying throat
tickle, loosens the phlegm, and soon
your cough stops entirely. Splendid
for bronchitis, Group, hoarseness and
bronchial asthma.
Pinex is highly concentrated COM
pound of Norway pine extract,
famous for healing the membranes.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for "2E ounces of PineX'
with directions and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso-
lutte satisfaction or money refunded.

Owners
Using. Mammoth Flint Corn
under Direction of Kennebec
Farm Bureau-Figures on
County's Activities

The object Of the mammoth flint
corn campaign among the workers of
the Kennebec Farm Bureau. is to in
crease the amount Of silage corn
used in the county. In all. 236 people
took part in the campaign, practi-
cally one half of the men in the
county owning silos. Reports have
been received from 118 as to the
progress of their corn. The total
acreage harvested of this variety was
$50 acres or practically 40 per cent
of all the corn planted for silage
purposes in the county. This is based
on Government census figures of
1919. 1t stated the total acreage of
silage corn in the county. that year
was 1879 acres. The average yield
per acre was 81 tons and the men
estimated it was worth an average of
$52.71 per acre. While 80 who raised
some other variety by contrast re-
ported the variety yielded an aver
age of 10 tons, which was worth
1852. This would be a total in
crease of 1888 per acre or total gain
for the county of s4,360.10. The
corn crop averaged the men who
used this particular variety a gain
of $o1S0.
Number Of Workers
The kcnnebec Farm Bureau has
this year reached about two times as
many people In extension work as
ever reached before. This is due to
the community committees and the
agricultural program. This does not
apply to the women's division.
Some interesting figures are: Mem
