Whiskey Dampens Main Cor

Damp sploches of whiskey,
which in some instances assumed
the proportion of puddles, extend

the main corridor of the Treasury

scandalous rumors to float about
this venerable institution.
Fragrance Is Penetrating.

OF even the most ardent foes of

A detail of watchmen are busy
assuring shocked callers that a still

cess of the gloomy basement nor
has there just been a pitched battle
between bold bootleggers and some
OF the Departments revenue agents.
The blot on the escutcheon of the
Treasury Department was at first
even shielded from newspapers, but,
after a solemn conference, a de.
cision was reached by officials to
give out the true story of the
whiskey trail which today makes
the main corridor of the building
look and smell like an old time bar
room floor.
The Whole Truth.
It follows:
I'VE had been to court to make
case" whispered one of the Off
Gals who only a few minutes before
had denied knowledge Of the origin
of the whiskey.
Three Of our most trustworthy
chemists were carrying as many
suitcases of liquor from Fifteenth

When one Of them was about to

liquor inside were broken AMI the

He's solemn, it's his wedding day.

Oh, gee, but he's a worried groom.
His bIushing bride is at his side,
He should be filled with joy and
pride;
Instead he's white. q sorry sight,
He's sure he isn't feeling right.
The altar looms before the groom,
He halts, prepared to face his doom.

INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS IN
COLORADO ON UPWARD TREND

According to the Industrial EN-
ployment survey, report of which
was recently issued by the U. S.
Department of Labor, for the month
of May the industrial conditions in
the mountain district which includes
Colorado are on the upward trend.
General construction work, mining,
agriculture, and manufacturing pro-
vide employment for the unemployed.
In Colorado at present, there is
scarcity of skilled workmen and
moderate surplus of unskilled labor
unemployed. Oil developments at
Fort Collins and Craig are progress
ing rapidly. Construction work on
the six mile Moffatt Tunnel is under
way and approximately 400 men are
employed there. In Denver and in
other of the larger cities public build
ings and homes are under construc-
ton, providing work for both the skill
ed and unskilled laborer. Also in
many Colorado cities there has been
a gradual growth in industry and
continued increase in employment of
labor. Wnlle Lnere mas Deen SLldIl
per cent of unemployed transient la
for, in the main resident skilled labor
is employed.
In the mining towns, metal mining
is somewhat sluggish. However but
few of the mines are temporarily shut
down, although many are working but
one eight-hour shift per day
Agriculture districts indicate in
creased and greater activity with
corresponding increase in employment
of labor. The sugar beet industry
alone employs thousands of workers
in the growing and caring for the
sugar beet crop of which there is a
large increase in acreage over the
1928 crop.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SIGN.


The Delta section is thronged with
people taking up leases from owners
of land for the purpose of exploring
this field for oil Hundreds of leases
have been taken in the past two or
three years and nothing has as yet
been accomplished.
1t is true, however that since the
Craig and Meeker fields have been
drilled, and the former territory has
developed two or three producers this
section has taken on new life. The
territory west of Grand Junction
where drilling is now in progress, has
also brought new activity in the Del
ia field
For some two or three months, ge-
ologists, perhaps Of every caliber, gov
ernment geologists, too, have been in
this section looking over the field as
a possible wild cat" chance. Some
of our people have been quite excited
over the matter.
One or two places have been Sc
lected upon as possibilities" and may
be drilled. Yet in some of the area in
one of the proposed locations, it is
claimed, some of the land owners
have not signified a willingness to
lease their land.
Whether acreage can be secured
where big company desires to put
down a test well, only time will tell.
1t is claimed the company is willing
to test this territory asking leases
only where they believe the best
chance to be, to gamble their money
against the landowners willingness
to lease.
The testing of the Delta district for
oil is possible, but landowners should
be careful in making leases. Don't
lease to everyone who comes along.
Some discretion in the kind of lease
signed should be given consideration.

The Best Cough Syrup
Is Homemade.
: yet have the best cough
J. remedy you ever tried.

=, y; =. = % q q: -: ~ % y, < - Y
You've probably heard of this WE'LL
known plan of making cough syrup
at home. But have you ever used
it? Thousands of families, the world
over, feel that they could hardly
keep house without it. It's simple
and cheap, but the way it takes hold
of a cough will soon earn it a perma-
nent place in your home.
Into a pint bottle, pour z1z ounces
CT Pinex; then add plain granulated
sugar syrup to fill up the pint. Or,
if desired, use clarified molasses,
honey, or corn syrup, instead of
sugar syrup. Either way, it tastes
good, never spOils, and gives you a
full pint of better cough remedy
than you could buy ready-made for
three times its cost.
1t is really wonderful how quickly
this homemade remedy conquers a
cough-usually in "a hours or less.
1t seems to penetrate through every
air passage, loosens a dry, hoarse or
tight cough, lifts the phlegm, heals
the membranes, and gives almost im=
MEDIATE relief. Splendid for throat
tickle, hoarseness, Group, bronchitis
and bronchial asthma.
Pinex is a highly concentrated
compound of genuine Norway pine
extract, and has been used for gem
erations for throat and chest all
ments.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for ",I. 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,
