wheat and oats has progressed favor
ably; it is practically completed in the
Arkansas valley and eastern counties,
and nearing completion in the north
central section. Good progress is being
made on the western slope. Grain is
unusually free from rust and smut in
San Luis Park, where it is ripening
rapidly, but it will be week or two be-
fore harvesting Of wheat will be general.
A good crop Of rye has been harvested
along the Divide. There are COM
plants of rust and shriveled grain from
parts of the western slope and the
north-central section, but taken as a
whole the grain crops will be fully Mp to
the high average. Corn is growing
rapidly, and gives promise of a normal
yield. Protracted dry weather has in
jured early potatoes in localities along
the Divide and in the south-centrai
counties. A marked improvement,
however, is noted in the sections visited
by rain, and the crop is generally re-
ported as promising an excellent yield.
The second crop of alfalfa 10 lighter
than usual in the north-central section,
owing to grasshoppers and scarcity Of
water. Blackberries are being marketed
in Boulder county, and cantaloupes and
tomatoes are being shipped from the
Arkansas valley. The streams are low
in all parts of the State, greatly reduc-
ing the amount of water available for
irrigation, which emphasizes the ne
cessity for more reservoirs to store the
surplus water of the June rise.

Perhaps it may be well to say that
wise men will not put their money into
every Cuban business scheme that is
presented to them by slick talker.
There will doubtless be great deal of
money made in Cuba in the next four
or five years, but it will not be made by
concerns which offer stock to the dear

Messrs. Wells G. Richardson Co.,
Gentlemen: l have found that Paine's
celery compound is the only remedy that
will restore the nerves which have been
shattered by overwork, worry or busi-
ness cares.
lean certainly recommend it without
hesitation to all those in need of such
reconstructant of the nervous system.
Yours truly,
EDWARD L. PREETORIUS.
The relative merit and efficiency Of
Paine's celery compound, in comparison
with all other remedies for making PEG.
pie well, is clearly shown in the intelli-
gent character and responsible standing
Of the people who today rely on it to
cnre insomnia. nervous debility, persis-
tent headaches and rundown condition.
Its power of rapidly repairing the it's
sues and cleansing the blood makes
Paine's celery compound the great saver
Of life that it is. 1t brings just the needed
nutriment to the weakened nerve tissues
all over the body, and increases the vol
ume of healthy blood, so that break
down Of some vital part is averted.
The story OF the discovery and unpar-
alleled success OF Paine's celery compound
is the story OF a high purpose steadfastly
followed. the final work of the lifelong
study of the nervous system in health
and disease bv Prof. Edward E. Phelps,
M. D.. LII. d., of the Dartmouth medical
faculty.
In this greatest of all remedies there is
hope for every person distressed by symp-
toms of dyspepsia, impure blood, failing
vigor or low nervous condition.

The st. Louis Westilche Post is the
leading German daily of the Mississippi
valley, and one OF the few great German
newspapers in the United States.
Established in 1875. it soon passed in
to the hands OF DIR. Emil Preetorius and
the Hon. Carl Schurz. For 40 years the
Westliche Post has shown the most ef-
fective devotion to honorable and pro-
gressive ideas.
Edward Preetorius, business manager
and treasurer, is a man of distinction
throughout the Southwest, and is known
to many thousands in other portions OF
the country for his broad business meth.
DDS, and for the commanding influence
OF hisjournal in national, state and city
politics.
Mr.. Preetorius is an iudefatigable
worker. Subjected by his profession to
unsual business cares, overwork and sud
den demands upon his nervous strength,
his personal experience and his estimate
of Paine's celery compound must have
exceptional weight, especially with brain
workers, and men and women whose
nerves are necessarily called on, asifthey
were Of iron and steel, and not the most
sensitive parts of the body.
Mr.. Preetorius letter, given below,
shows his confidence in Americas great
est remedy.

ter transferred it soon after to Charles
Varney of East Brimfield, in this state,
who began their manufacture in 1864 or
