Dear sirs:-1 have derived such
great benefit from the use Of your

II TO be the most important for the
public to know Its worth. For the

miserable of men. Did not know what
the trouble was but had to urtnate
very frequently both day end night;
was all puffcd up generally. could
not sleep more than couple OF hours
at a time. was greatly distressed after
eating n meal and was about worn
out. had tried nearly everything !
could see advertised and hear Oh.
without helping me to any great ex-
tent. until finally in October last at
3ipan. Wis. purchased one dol
lar bottle OF Swamp Root and COM
menced taking It according to dircc-
lions and followed that with another
bottle and experienced such great re-
lief and benefit from same that pur-
chased I'VE dollars worth at Hunts
willie, Ala. and continued Its use and
am now taking it. but in smaller
doses and twice day in place OF four
times day and believe by the time
present supply is used Zip win DO
entirely well. am feeling better
now than for ten years past. Can eat
and sleep first class. in fact am feel
Ing so good that cannot resist telling
yon about 1t. You are at liberty to
publish this testimonial should you
wish.
Very respectfully.

FLOODS REDUCE
POTATO SUPPLY
Los ANGELES FACES FAMINE
IN CONSEQUENCE
IN ONE DISTRICT ALONE LOSS is
$4,000 SACKS
Nearly Three Million Dollars Worth
of Potatoes Swept Away in Delta
Country-Local Supply
Diminishes

Floods in the north and east have cut
off the potato supply and Los Angeles
is threatened with a famine. AS a re-
suit of this condition dealers declare
that potatoes may in a short time
reach the highest selling point ever
known in Los Angeles.
Reports. from Antioch are to the effect
that in that district alone $4,000 sacks
of potatoes have been lost in the floods.
On that island potatoes sold Saturday
at $1.70 a hundred pounds, as against
so cents two weeks ago.
Not only has Antioch suffered, but
other islands in that great potato coun-
try. On upper Sheridan island the loss
reported is 81 900 900; in San Mound dis
trict, 100000; Venice island, $50O,OO0,
and on Twitchell island, $750,000.
These losses are general, including
garden truck and hay, but the principal
commodity affected is potatoes.
The Oregon market has also suffered
heavily and while no estimate has yet
been made the losses to potato growers
and shippers are said to be enormous.
In Mountain Country
From the mountain country and
further east floods have shut off the
potato supply.
LII lIl6 IOCd1 lldI Mt the SCdIClly ldS
been felt for ten days and prices have
gradually advanced. The range for
trading last Saturday was $2@2.50 q
hundred pounds, whereas only ten days
ago the best potatoes could have been
bought at $1.50.
OF course there have been better
prices right along, but these prices
were on extra fancy stock, bringing as
high as 81 and perhaps a better price
in some trades.
Saturday potatoes sold as follows:
Local Burbank, 81; Highland, 50;
Lompoc, 81; Salinas, 81; Oregon, $1.50G
1.65; Oregon Early Rose, 81; Idaho, $175.
But the market is rapidly cleaning up
and the visible supply is said to be
anything but encouraging.
Trains have been delayed, and ship
ments which were to arrive weeks ago
have not yet reached their destination.
The prediction that potatoes will
reach the highest selling price known
to Los Angeles is borne out by condi-
tfons said to exist both in this market
and elsewhere.

Newspapers and Communities.

The value of any newspaper to
any community is hard to overesti-
mate. The real newspaper is the
paper whose circulation reaches be-
yond the confines of the city in
which it is published and that cir
culates largely in the territory sur
rounding the city. This circulation
gives to the merchants of the city a
medium Through which they can
reach the people and induce them to
come to the city to buy their mer-
chandise.
Ehe Edwardsville CHI Intelli-
gencer says: "The paper that
reaches the people is the paper that
brings the business to it's advertis-
ers and the whole town share in
directly in the drawing powers of a
widely circulated newspaper.
1.-THE fate of every community is
more or less inevitably bound up in
its newspaper. If the latter is pub
lie spirited "a persistent boomer and
intelligent director of public opinion
it will make the town go in spite of
its ever-present contentment.
"The opportunities of some towns
are greater than those of others, but
within their possibilities there is no
agent that can accomplish more for
their advancement than an active
and earnest newspaper.
'The capacity of the local paper
for accomplishing these desirable
results is in a very large measure
dependent upon the support accord
it by the community and especially
by the business interests.
''But advertisers should rid them
selves of the notion that this sup
