Home-Mixed
Cough Syrup Is
Most Effective

Cough medicines usually contain a large
quantity of plain syrup@a good ingredient,
but one which you can easily make at home.
Take 2 cups of granulated sugar and l cup
of water, and stir a few moments until
dissolved. No cookingi No trouble at all.
Or you can use corn syrup or liquid honey,
instead of sugar syrup.
Then get from your druggist az ounces
of Pinex, pour 1t into a pint bottle, and
fill up with your syrup. This gives you a
full pint of wonderful medicine for coughs
due to colds. 1t makes a real saving because
it gives you about four times as much for
your money. 1t lasts . long time, never spoils,
and children love 1t.
This is actually a surprisingly effective,
quick-acting cough medicine. Swiftly, you feel
it taking hold. 1t loosens the phlegm. soothes
the irritated membranes and makes breathing
easy. You've never seen anything better for
quick and pleasing results.
Pinex is a special compound OF proven
ingredients, in concentrated form, q most
reliable, soothing agent for throat and
bronchial irritations. Money refunded II it
doesn't please you in every way.

Possible Causes
of Oil on Water

CURIOSITY as TO the possible
presence of oil is frequently
aroused by the observance of an
oily coating on ponds and
streams in an area. Recently a
M Montana Farmer : Stockman
reader inquired as to the pos
sibIe significance of such oil
signs. The question was referred
to the Montana School of Mines.
and the following answer was
prepared by DR.. E. S. Perry of
the school staff:
There is no positive way of de-
termining if oil or gas occurs beneath
the surface other than by drilling
wells. 1t is possible, however, for
biologists to determine that some
places are more favorable for the
occurrence of oil than other places.
Oil-Bearing Strata
First of all, there should be strata
beneath the surface which might be
oil-bearing. Another important de-
termination is the attitude of strata,
that is, the directions in which the
sedimentary beds slope. Places con-
sidered more favorable than others
are those in which the underground
structure is dome-shaped. And there
are other observations which geolog-
lists make.
The region near Dagmar is under
lain by sedimentary beds which else
where in Montana and Canada yield

planted acreage in 1948, but sub
stantially less than the 1869, 800-acre
goal of 1947.
The major provisions of the 1949
potato program are % the crop will
be supported at so percent of parity,
the minimum level under the go to
80 percent range provided in the
applicable legislation; (2) to be elig-
ible for price support operations, in
dividual growers must stay within
the acreage goals established for
each farm; and (3) participating
growers will, to the extent practic-
able, market their potatoes under the
provisions of marketing agreements,
in order to help stabilize marketing,
keep lower grades out of CONNER
cial channels, and assure consumers
the better quality potatoes.

oil and gas. However, there b -
known important dome structure IN
this locality. This region has been,
and is being studied by geologists Of
the major oil companies. However,
their findings are not available TO
the public. Because of their reluct-
ance to do deep drilling in this area,
it would seem that these findings are
not too favorable.
Three Possibilities
Regarding the presence of oil on
stream and well water, there are
two or three possibilities. Oil may
rise to the land surface and form oil
seeps, the oil travelling upward
through some crevice or through
some porous bed. Such oil may have
travelled a mile or more before reach
ing the surface.
Also oily substances are sometimes
formed by the decay at shallow
depths of vegetable matter included
in the rocks. Such occurrences are
of no economic Importance. Also
there are certain complex iron COM
pounds which float on water and
resemble oil films. This type of
compound can be recognized by
skimming some of the film from off
the water, placing into a bottle, shak-
ing, and then letting it stand over
night. Iron compounds will sink,
whereas oil will continue to float.
This office has not heard of any
true oil seeps in the Dagmar area.

The buck stumbled and went
down, out of sight in the sage. Later
pacing of the range showed the dis
lance to be 800 yards. When I ar
rived, breathless, at the fallen buck,
he was stone dead, and proved to be
an old veteran of the plains.
Forgotten now was the beautifully
stocked rifle as it lay on the ground
beside me. I saw only this graceful
creature; and my thoughts raced.
What were some of the things he
had known and seen during his life
time here on this almost desert-like
range?
He had as a small fawn, seer dam
ger from coyotes and eagles. He had
seen his mother run in wild terror
from that two-legged renegade, man,
and he never forgot the lessons she
taught. Nor the ones he learned for
himself the time bullets whined at
him so close one had burned a patch
of hair and hide from his neck. He
had seen days and nights of bitter
cold and wind that seemed endless
as he stood hungry and miserable
on the lee side of a barren hill. He
had known the discomfort of burn
ing hot summer days, with intense
thirst and the hell of swarming flies.
He had seen one hor July day
when hailstones fell in Jagged
chunks as large as baseballs, leaving
him sore and bruised. He had seen
joyous days of spring when he be-
came well fed and fat. He had
known the great thrill that came to
him in his prime one September
when he fought an old buck away
from a harem of four sleek does,
thus claiming them for his own
Then he lived in a state of sublime
happiness for a time, and he showed
only arrogance and contempt for all
other living things. Later came the
day when he knew the bitterness OF
becoming old, and of a fierce young
buck who fought him to exhaustion
and defeat.
Quick End
But now, as the old fellow lay
here before me and my thoughts
pictured his life, my only satisfac.
ton was that I had brought him
down quickly with a minimum Of
suffering.
So I dressed him out right where

WINNING OF The WEST

With the States Rights Demo-
Gratis subtracting election votes
in the South, President Truman
is making a special effort to win
the West. With control of the
Senate possibly hanging on close
races in several western states,
Governor Dewey is also devoting
particular attention to that re-
gion. Their respective speeches
in Salt La k City and Denver
both centered on the Vests big
issue-conservation.
But even so they did not pro-
duce a voter-aiding debate. Mr..
Dewey spoke largely in broad
general terms. He disclosed a
know | e d G of conservation,
touching on oil, metals. lumber,
irrigation, navigation. flood con-
troll and power. He called f o r
more cooperation between federal
and state agencies, with no little
supermen from Washington in
control.
Mr.. Truman was somewhat
sweeping too in his charge that
Wall Street is trying to make a
colony out of the West, But
he did c t e figures in declaring
that Democratic administrations
had increased reclamation prof.

covering 3,5OO,O 900 acres in 1882
to 60 completed or under way)
providing water for 10000, 900
acres today.
Mr.. Dewey, in one place. also
cited figures showing the last
Congress had exceeded any other
in size of its appropriations for
reclamation. To make this COM
parison fair he should have men
toned the curtailment of such
construction in wartime. Mr..
Truman said that Congress re-
duced his recommendations for
reclamation funds. He also re-
called that Republicans, particu-
larry in the House, had been for
ced to drop some cuts by protests
from the west.
Mr.. Truman was definite in
charging that the last Congress.

Here is a specific issue. Mr.. Tru-
man said private ownership of
distribution lines means private
profit from government d a m

stand on this, but later in a press
conference he said he would sup
