Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition Of the mucuous lining of the Eu.
stachian Tube. When this tube is IN
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out Of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces :
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any. case Of Deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall s
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Sunny South School.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Feeling very much elated at our
educational progress, I concluded to
write you few lines about our Sunny
South school,.
Our trustees, becoming ashamed Of
"the little hut We called school-house"
made q great effort to secure a new
building. Their efforts proved sue
cessful and handsome accademy
4s by 20. These trustees, still bub-
bling over with energy for public
good. with the cooperation Of tho
teacher, raised money for . new IL
brary; planted shade trees snd fow-
ers, put in new seats, new heater and
other needed improvements. Still
pushing forward, these energetic gen-
tlemen, with assistance OF the teach
or, sent pictures and model Of their
building to Miss Nance, president OF
the State Rural School Improvement
Association, and received . prize of
go. BY the time this amount is OK
pended on our building, We know it
will not be surpassed by any In tho
county.
Again, We are going to invite Miss
Nance to give u . lecture, and to
give the mothers the enthusiasm on
educstion-the kind that is needed for
true success in q school. Remember,
''the hand that rocks the cradle is the
hand that rules the world"
We have new house, new furni-
ture and will have a new time all
around if, the parents will become
aroused to their duty of educating the
children and making of them some
thing more than mere farm drudgers.
State Superintendent of Education
Martin has zealously advocated i'm
provement of the rural schools. All
honor to his memory! We do not
doubt but that the incoming superin-
tendent will fill his place admirably
wei, but we cannot but feel sad in
bidding 0. B. Martin farewell. The
rural schools have been vastly i'm
proved under his supervision. At this
we greatly rejoice, but must not stop
here. There arc many other things
to be considered. We must have
good educational system. Money is
never thrown away employing COM
petent teacher. The teacher must
receive the support OF the community.
We feel that for 1909 a brighter
time has come III. our neighborhood
for effective work in the educational
line.
We will free our children from the
"bondage of ignorance"

do likewise" Patron.

If your Stomach, Heart, or Kidneys
are weak, try at least, few doses only
of DR.. Shops Restorative. In five or
ten days only, the result will surprise
you. A few cents will cover the cost.
And here is why help comes 90 quickly.
DR.. Shoop doesn't drug the Stomach,
no. stimulate the Heart or Kidneys. DR..
Shops Restorative goes directly to the
weak and failing nerves. Each organ
has its own controlling nerve When
these nerves fail, the depending organs
must of necessity falter. This plain,
yet vital truth, clearly tells why DR..
Shoop's Restorative is 30 universally
successful Its success is leading drug
gists everywhere to give it universal
preference. A test will surely tell.

SUGAR BEETS AND BABIES

require about the same amount Of

Beets and babies are naturally
healthy and If given any kind of a
chance will grow like weeds. The
more care one gives the babies and
beets. the larger, fatter and health
Ter they become. Big. fat. juicy beets
bring money into the pockets of the
beet grower and a family OF healthy
children will help lot in producing
that crop of big, fat beets.
So. while there isn't actually a
cash prize offered for babies by the
Great Western Sugar company, they
are at premium nevertheless, and
the beet grower is the avowed enemy
OF race suicide. Sugar beets are
more than ever wonderful crop
this year in the Greeley district. One
can drive all day in any direction
from Greeley and be between sugar
beet fields all the time. There has
been lots of labor saved on the beets
this year because there has been
almost rain enough to mature the
crop without the heavier work of
irrigating.

Figures on Averages in
Wheat Tell Why
This Is

Who is there that doubts that
Weld county irrigated land is cheap
at $500 per acre? When land will
yield fifty bushels of wheat to the
acre under careful tillage. it is cheap
at the price named and a glance over
the average yield per acre in some
OF the other wheat states will prove
this. The average yield per acre in
Weld county would probably run
about thirty-five bushels to the acre
this year and as high as fifty-fve or
sixty bushels to the acre are report
ed
Here is a bulletin issued by Pro-
fessor Whitney, chief of the bureau
of soils at Washington, which shows
the averages by states for the pro-
ductlon of wheat per acre from 1866
to 1907:
Vermont, 1s.5 bushels; Maine
6.5 bushels; New York, 15.7; New
Jersey, 14.5; Michigan, 14.5: Penn.
