WHEREIN DADDY WAS WRONG
Tommy Resented Injustice Done
Saw, After He Had Proved
lts Temper.

Mr.. A., who was planning to
build an outdoor sleeping porch at the
back Of his house. had an expensive
new saw sent home from a hardware
store. He left his office early the next
afternoon. with the intention Of get
ting the porch well under way before
dinner: and. as he was very much in
terested in doing the work himself. he
donned pair Of overalls and went at
it in good spirits. An hour or SO later
he came tramping into the house. his
face dark with evaporation. and flung
himself down in disgust.
"That new saw bought isn't worth
8 cents" he stormed. "Why. the thing
won't cut butter!"
His small son Tommy looked up In
wide-eyed surprise.
"Oh. Yes. it would. daddy" he said.
earnestly; "why, Ted and 1 sawed a
whole brick in two with 1t just this
orning!"-Harper's Magazine.

Beet Planting Begins.

Greeley Beet planting has begun
in the Greeley district and the first
fields planted were those at Peckham
nine miles south Of here. By the end
of the week hundreds of acres of beet
seed will be in the ground and a de-
termined effort will be made to get
the entire crop planted by April 25.
The acreage contracted for Greeley.
Eaton and Windsor factories has now
reached 34,45O acres while the entire
acreage to be grown in Weld county
will easily reach $4,000 acres. OF this
acreage 11,25O has been pledged up to
date for the Greeley factory. On con-
servative estimate the value OF the
crop from this acreage will be 3d.
1O0.50O.
Several hundred carloads Of beet
seed will be planted in northern Colo

Las Animas Sugar Factory to Rpn.

Las Animas Sugar Factory to Run.
Las Animas.-The outlook for the
beet crop in Bent county this year is
by far the best of any previous year.
The weather conditions thus far have
been SO favorable toward this sugar
product that it leads one to believe
that the tonnage an acre will be great
er than ever before. The high price
paid on this years contract by the
American Beet Sugar Company for
beets has induced many who hereto
tore would not sign contracts to grow
beets. That the Las Animas factory
will be In operation this fall is now an
assured fact, as the company has sew
sral hundred more signed up by the
farmers than is required. The Ameri-
:an Beet Sugar Company has near 81
300 900 invested in the Las Animas su-
gar factory. 1t is equipped with the
latest and most modern machinery OF
any factory in the valley, and has ca
pacity OF TOO tons Of beets day. The
ocal factory was established here In
1907 and handled the beets OF this
district during three successful cam
oaigns following, since which time. ow'
ing to climatic conditions, it has not
been possible for the company to Sc
cure tonnage enough to justify its op.

RASH ALL OVER BABY'S BODY

ION July ~. 1909. we left Boston for
a trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with us. After being in Ireland
q few days a nasty rash came out all
over his body. We took him to a doc

The trouble started in the form of
rash and was all over baby's body,
head and face. at different times. 1t
irritated. and he would scratch it with
all his might. The consequence was
It developed into sores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face.
when we reached England we took
baby to another doctor. who said his
condition was due to change of food
and climate. and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better. and 1t used to
itch and burn ut night so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM
pletely covered with 1t at different
times. It was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars, or
other kind of Disagreement, and baby
is completely cured by the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. We have no fur

Deafness cannot Be cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. deafness Is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition, hear
ing win be destroyed forever: nine
cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed con
dition Of the mucous surfaces.
