Make It Yourself In Two Minutes

The coughing season is on and every home should have a supply of the best cough remedy to be had, and as you can make this supremely excel lent cough mixture yourself why pay high prices for the common kind.
 Get from any druggist one ounce of Parmint tdouble strength )--to this add a little granulated sugar and enough water to make one half pint that's all there is to it.
 Then when any member of the family starts coughing or catches cold in chest or head, or has acute eatarrh, you are prepared as you should be.
 And the children love to take it.
 With speed almost beyond belief this home made cough mixture stops the toughest hang-on cough, and all because in it there is a substance (too costly for ordinary cough syrups) that immediately covers the mem brane like a soothing, healing poul- tice. and blessed relief comes at once.
 And you should also bear in mind that any remedy that overeomes ca- tarrh. partially or wholly, is bound to be of benefit to those who are troubled with head noises and catarrhal deaf ness.
 Get Parmint and get better.

 ENJOY ADVENTURES
Geological Party Finish Trip Without Any Serious Mishaps

Washington, Dec. 7-Twenty-fooi waves, S0-foot boulders and 6Ofoot lava pinnaces rising sheer out of the channel, radio troubles ard a labor strike, were some of the trials and tfioulations besetting the geological survey party which recently mapped the last stretch of the Canyon of the Colorado. In his rejort on the trip, c. II. Birdseye, who headed the ex- petition. recorded that in the 450- mile journey encounters with cata- racts which had struck fear into the hearts of other hardy adventures and sightseers became daily incidents.
 The stretch Of Colorado River, from Lees Ferry. Arizona. to Needles. California. was the last that had not been accurately surveyed for mapping, and purpose of the hazardous expe- dltion was to locate possible dam sites for flood prevention, power de- Nelopment and irrigation. It was this party that was reported lost carly last October. when a half wrecked boat was discovered that was thought to have belonged to them. However, the ten men accomplished the feat with one broken rib the only casualty, and with the loss of only small canoe.
 The first task encountered by the engineers was that of trucking a 16- foot boat down a morrow train blasted in the side wall of the Canyon, near Lees Ferry. This boat was taken by auto 40 miles. from Flagstaff, Ari- zona, the nearest railroad station.
 The four boats used were eighteen footers. decked over at both ends with water tight matches and metal com partments for buoyancy and for keep ing instruments and supplies dry. The lost canoe was light collapsible can

Another boat was tossed high in the air in another rapids, and when it came down bottom side up the men were thrown out between it and the rocky banks, one narrowly escaping being crushed.

If the British government was pre-

Ronald MCNEIL. replying for the

WAR CLOUDS DARKER NOW
THAN AWAY BACK In 1914
Baker Hopes Country Will See Way
Clear to Enter League
of Nations

Cleveland, O., July 19.-Europe is
now more nearly ready for world war
than it was in 1914. Newton d. Baker
told an audience of women gathered
here yesterday to hear the former Sec
rotary of war and others outline the
purposes of the League of Nations
Nonpartizan association. 1t was the
first gun fired here in an attempt to
secure signers to petition that the
United States enter a league of ma
tons.
when we present to the president
and senate ten thousand names, or ten
hundred thousand names or ten mil
lion names of those who want Am
erica to join league of nations, they
will listen" Mr. Baker declared.
Europe is now more nearly ready
for world war than it was in 1914,
so far as underlying catses are con-
cerned," Mr.. Baker added. II can
not see how it can be prevented I'M
less some substitute Is found.
IF the devil has 1t in his heart to
let forth upon the human race more
deadly instruments of destruction
than were used in the last terrible
war, it means international suicide so
far as the civilized nations are con-
cerned.
america must do her part in a big
way in concert with the other ma
lions of the world to prevent an inter
national war. believe that way will
be the league of nations, with reser-
vations to protect the liberty of the
United States"
Mr.. Baker explained that there is
no opposition between the league and
the world court. He referred to the
latter RS something we ought to go
into" adding that 1.-The court doesn't
take us into the league and 1t doesn't
keep us out"

WANT TO KEEP NEGROES
Georgia Legislature Has Measure to
Make IL O Crime to Recruit Labor
in That State.

Atlanta, Ga, July 19.-An effort to
check the migration of negroes and
other farm laborers was given as the
reason for the introduction of a bill
in the Georgia legislature today which
would make it a felony for any per-
sons or concerns to solicit labor in
Georgia for other states. Punishment
would be prison term of not less
than three years nor more than seven.
Passage of this BILL" one of the
authors declared, will result in
checking. the exodus of negroes and
other farm laborers of Georgia to
other states. 1t does not allow even
licensed labor agents to operate in the
state. The present labor situation in
Georgia demands drastic legislation,
this measure is one which we think
best to provide relief"

ham and egg sandwiches and coffee.
After Vaughan had climbed into
the cockpit a bundle of New York
morning newspapers still damp with
the ink from the presses was handed
to him. Above the roar of the engine
he shouted out laughingly:
II want to be the first news vender
to sell New York morning newspapers
