HEBER SUGAR BEETS
Samples Sent to AIamitos and Good
 Report

J. J. Post, of Heber, has received the following report on sugar beets sent from his place to the Alamitos sugar factory for testing. It looks pretty good and Mir. Post thinks their culture on a practicable scale would be successful. The best sample, unfortunately, was not tested by itself, therefore the report is not so good as it would have been. MT. Post is an old sugar beet man, having seventeen years experience, of which twelveyears were in the factory. He thinks it would not pay to grow them here unless factory be established in the Valley. When Mir. Post came here he brought 100 pounds of beet seed and distributed it extensively, besides what he planted himself:
 MT. J. J. Post, Bradtmoore, Cal.
 DEAR SIR:-We received the beet samples you sent and they were tested while l was away for half day, and they were all put through in one sam pie. They tested as follows: 1S.3 per cent sugar in the beet and S2.6 purity. Thase beets looked pretty good and if you could get tonnage enough would be paying crop.
 Does it get hot out your way? Don't you have to irrigate pretty often?
 We commenced blowing out on the 29th and will cut on the Sd.
 Yours truly,

We understand that the Bra wiley Town Site Company have offered to ex- change the two lots that were to have been given the Chamber of Commerce, near Cady-Lee building with the pro mise that they build on it for one oppo- site McKeehan's Pool Room. If the Chamber of Commerce accept this one they will not have to build on it till they get ready.

Voice From Arkansas.

Cleveland, Ark, August ID Especially
Nearly every newspaper tells OF some
wonderful cure OF some form of Kidney
Disease BY the Great American Rem
edy, Dodd's Kidney Pills, and this part
Of Arkansas is not without it's share of
evidence that no case is too deeply
rooted for Dodd's Kidney Pills TO cure.
Mr.. A. E. Carlile, we'll known and
highly respected here, tells Of his cure
after nearly a quarter Of a century's
suffering. Mr.. Carlile says:
IL want to let the public know what
I think of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
think they are the best remedy for
sick kidneys ever made.
II had Kidney Trouble for 23 years
and never found anything that did me
80 much good as Dodd's Kidney Pills.
l recommend them to all sufferers"
There is no uncertain sound about
Mr.. Carli1e's statement. He knows
that Dodd's Kidney Pills rescued him
from life Of suffering and he wants
the public to know it. Dodd's Kidney
Pills cure all Kidney ills from Back
ache to Bright's Disease.
