Underwood had not confessed his

At last! Real relief for hay fever.
The long search by scientific men for
something that would counteract the
effect of pollen has resulted in new
discovery. 1t is now possible to go
through the hay fever season and hard
ly know that you ever had this terrible
afriction.
Dia-pollin is the name, of this new
compound 1t is absolutely harmless,
contains no jnjurious or habit-forming
drugs.
Simply apply it in the nostrils, and
almost instantly you realize that hay
fever has met its master. The nose
clears up and stops running. The fever
cools off Breathing becomes easier.
The redness and itching of the eyes
ease and soon cease almost entirely.
A few applications a day enable you
to work In comfort and sleep In peace.
Hay fever is caused by pollen from
weeds, vegetation, etc, which irritates
the mucous lining of the nose. Dia- pol
lin keeps this pollen infection under
such control that it doesn't make your
life miserable. 1t is easy to use and
acts like magic.

fever last July, and obtained most won-

Pursuant to Section 1 of Chapter
157 of the 1921 Session Laws, the

Board of Equalization in their office
at the Court House, County Seat.
Present: George e. Butler. chair
man, F. e. Wilson and j. ID. Whit
son, commissioners.
Frank I. Wyman appeared before
the Board representing A. Miller,
Hammett, and asked that the as
sessed valuation for the year 1924
be reduced to a valuation not exceed
ing $275O.00 on lots i, 2, and 3, blk.
5, King Hill Town.
The Board therefore upon refer
ence to this assessment found same
to be assessed for a total of $5345,
and ordered that the same stand at
this figure as the assessment of the
above described property for the
year 1924.
A correspondence from ]. s. Fisch-
er, agent for Miller and Yiele, re-
questing that the assessment for
the year 1924 of the James Wat
hns property at Glenns Ferry
situated in sections z, s, II,
and IS, T. s., r. 10 E., B. NJ,
be reduced from a valuation of
$3.50. TO $4,000 stating as a reason
therefore that the assessment of this
property showed 1876 acres as agri-
cultural land when in reality there
was not to exceed 100 acres of farm
land in cultivation
The Board, however, was indis-
posed to disturb the assessment as
placed by the assessor and ordered
the assessment stand as placed by
the assessor for year 1924.
A correspondence from o. c.. Nc
Proud stating that he had no inn
this year as they had
burned and, also, requesting re-
duction in the amount Of hay land
from so acres to 35 acres with a cor
reduction in the assessed
presented
Upon examination of this assess
nent, the Board found only 20 acres
assessed as dry farm land and $3.50 |
which the assessor adj
gised was fencing.
Thereupon the Board ordered no
;hange in this assessment for the
year 1924.
The Board then proceeded to ex-
mime the assessment rolls name by |
