For this svay TO stop
Colds

Some years ago n famous laboratory
developed a remedy for colds. 1t
proved itself quick, effective and COM
plete. 1t stopped colds in "a hours.
1t checked the fever, stopped the head
ache, opened the bowels, toned the
system. So recovery from the cold
was prompt. The remedy brought no
ill results, as quinine did before.
That laboratory announces its crca-
tons to physicians only. Most peo-
pie don't consult doctors on colds.
Millions of people who needed this
help did not learn about it.
So w. H. HILL secured that for
mula and called it HILLS Cascara-
Bromide-Q uinine. He sent out millions
of samples to prove its effects: And
he spent vast sums in telling the fact
to people who have colds. As a re-
suit countless homes came to rely
on il.

We Paid 100000

Then other men decided that more
people should know it. So they paid
81 100000 to secure the remedy. Now
the facts are told in thousands Of
newspapers and magazines. People
everywhere are dealing with colds in
this effective way.
This is to urge that you try
HILLS. Take it promptly. Every
hour of delay means a deeper-seated
cold.
Be sure you get HILLS. The
years have proved that no other help
compares. A cold is n serious matter.
Stop it at once, end its results in the
best way you can find.
If you take HILLS now, relief will
come tomorrow. The fever will be
checked, the system toned, the bowels
opened. The poisons will be eliminat-
ed. All those things must be done,
and they should be done at once. Get
HILLS and start at once. At your
drug store.

dication that the commissioners har-
Dor a desire to 60 back to the old
supervisor system of inspecting roads
and bridges. Under this system the
Commissioners appoint some political
favorite, regardless of his quaiifica
tions and who is not subject to the
control of the voters. This man Is
paid the same per diem and mileage
as the regularly elected Surveyor
but as he is dependent for his job
on the whims of the Board of County
Commissioners and his decisions are
always in line with the desires. This
system has been condemned in all
progressive communities as one de-
vised to leave the door open for graft.
The institution of this system in the
Sheridan County work will be close
ly watched by the Council of Action
and other civic organizations and in
dividuais and its workings will be sub
mitted to the people from time to
time. The discontinuance of the
County Surveyor also furnishes an Op-
portunity to the County Commission
ers to 90 on joy rides under the
guise of inspecting roads and bridges
for which they can charge the County
large fees.

O'CONNOR LOSES
BUICK AUTOMOBILE

Misfortune seems to have been the
general lot of R. OCOnnor, Contl-
mental Insurance agent who has been
working out of Plentywood, lately,
when first his Buick sedan was stol-
en- and a day later he went into
ditch near Outlook with a rented car,
disabling him so that he will be laid
up at the Plentywood hospital for
several days.
While Mr.. O'COnnor was eating his
lunch Tuesday noon at the City Cafe,
he saw some one step into his car,
and before he realized it, had driven
off. The roads were wet from the
recent snow, and the car was traced
by Sheriff RO dney Salisbury
bv the chain tracks to within two
miles of Outlook. There the tracks
could no longer be isilated from those
of 9th er cars which had b e e
driven over the road afterwards. Sc
far the car has not been found.
Wednesday morning, Nov. lO, Mr
O'Connor rented Studebaker iron

Frank Gunther for the purpose O.

WASHINGTON, Nov. ia dis
NAL and depressing prospect confronts
President Coolidge during his next
two years in the White House, as a
result of Tuesdays election.
Various and sundry troubles are
in the cards for Mr.. Coolidge. The
real reservoir of trouble is in the
Senate. For that BODY can now be
counted as distinctly hostile to the
President.
Although the Republicans will re-
tain control of the organization of the
next Senate committees by the mar
rowest of margins, the actual control
in legislative matters lies in the rude
hands of the insurgents-a group of
master trouble-makers
Troubles to Multiply
But the troubles of the President,
in all probability will not await the
| cOnvening of the Seventeen Congress.
They are likely to begin in December
and multiply as time passes to March
/ A, 1929, when the Presidents term of
office expires.
Even the Republican senators who
squeezed through in the election are
returning to Washington in frankly
resentful frame of mind. The fact
that President Coolidge did all in his
power to aid his friend and adviser
Senator Butler, and refused them help
when they were fighting for their pO-
litical lives with their backs to the
wall is fresh in their minds.
For that reason they lack the spirit
to leap into the breach and fight the
Presidents battles as they once did
The Democrats, of course, are whet
ting their knives and the insurgent!
are in a militant mood.
Therefore, the ambitious legislativ,
program of the administration is like
ly to be kicked from pillar to pos
by the coalition of Democrats and in
surgents.
Smith and Ware Fights
The first crack out of the box a
attempt will be made in December t
unseat Ware of Pennsylvania an
and Smith of Illinois because 0
their slush fund primary campaign
While this does not directly cor
Germ the President, it will DO nOthin
to add to the prestige of the Reput
lican party, which will be bespattel
ed with mire from the mud-gur
of the Democrats.

BIG WALL ENCLOSES
LEWIS BACKYARD

Howard M. Lewis, has just cOmplet-
ed the building of a new garage at
the back of his office on Main St.,
where he will house his elegant new
Hupmobile sedan when attending to
business down town. The garage is
fitted with all the latest improve
ments and has wires connecting with
Mr.. Lewis office to give the alarm
should the doors be tampered with
by persons unauthorized to do SO.
Mr.. Lewis has also finished the
covering of his office with a coat
of stucco which makes it one Of the
most attractive places on the street.
Besides the building of the garage
and the covering of the office with
stucco Mr.. Lewis had to build a ten
foot board wall around his back yard.
There was much speculation about
the reasons which prompted the
Plentywood lawyer to build such a
big fence surmounted by electrically
charged wire, which the curious mind
ed cannot peep over, but so far no
inkling of what is concealed by the
great wall has been given to the
public.

LAWRENCE LOSES
ANOTHER PRISON
ER AT SCOBEY
KniIans, Nabbed on Liquor Charge,
Leaves in Midst of Preliminary
Hearing and FOrfeits $500 Bond.

Scobey, Nov. 7.-'Bill" Knilans
has jumped his bond and taken
French leave, and is still "a w o l."
so far as the sheriff's office is con-
cened. Knilans' place was raided
and he was arrested on the charge of
selling liquor on October 20, and had
given bond in the sum of $500. His
place was again raided and another
quantity of liquor found, and he was
in the custody of A. L. Lawrence,
sheriff, pending the filing of his bond
on that offense.
At his request he was granted a
preliminary hearing on the first
charge, and while the court was look
ing up some points of law in regard
to his case, and during the noon ad-
iournment, he made good his escape
and it is supposed he hurried across
the Canadian border, where he woalC
be comparatively safe.
Knilans was out on parole on al
old charge on which he was sent
enced to a year in the penitentiary
and, had he fingered another day il
custody of the sheriff, would have
been on his way to Deer Lodge, a.
his parole had been revoked. Th'
commitment ordering his delivery a
Deer Lodge reached the county at
torney at about the time Knilan
made his getaway. Before leaving
Knilans deposited cash with hi
bondsmen to take care of the bond.

Indignation Amongst DepOsitOrs
When the Becker State Bank of
Lakeport, of which w. ]. Norby was
cashier, closed a few weeks ago, de-
positors who had their lifetime saw
ings in the institution were heard to
say that the wreckers should be dealt
summary justice. Yelled threats were
made against those responsible for
the losses to the people who put
the savings of a lifetime in the banks.
Then came the discovery of the bod
les of Frank Murphy and W. ]. Norby
with bullet holes from which blood
streamed on the floor of the Gallo
way bank. Fearful lest this summary
method of melting out punishment to
cashiers of closed banks would spread
the news agencies of the capitalist
