 SUGAR CROP FAILS
 SAYS FIELD AGENT

"The harvest of sugar beets in Cal ifornia is about, with very disappoint ing yields in some sections" said E. E. Kaufman, of San Francisco, field agent connected with the bureau of crop es inmates, who is in Phoenix for few days.
 Drought, bugs and plant diseases all took a crack at the beet men this year, and the sindicated average yield per acre is only 7.30 tons, compared to an average of 9.55 tons for the past
 nine years" said Mir. Kaufman. He said that with the exception of
 citrus fruits the fruit crop this year
 was a record one.
 California had a record crop on every fruit except citrus throughout | the state" MT. Kaufman added.
 Twenty five per cont more peaches
 and 20 per cent more prunes were pro-
 duced. Thousands and thousands of | tons of grapes were shipped out of Cal | ifornia to Kansas, Minnesota and other
 states"
 | MT. Kaufman said he did not be- lieve all the grapes raised in Califor-

his property.
The district already has 100000 in
money lying in the banks pending
action of the voters in this election.
Had the election carried this 500, 900
together with the $4,000 would have
been used to complete a 20foot brick
road from Sixth avenue in Pass-a-
Grille to the McAdoo bridge. 1t re-
mains to be seen what the trustees of
the district will not do with the $780,
600. It was originally voted to build
the 20-foot brick road from Sixth
avenue in Pass-a-Grille to the point
opposite Dead Mans Key whore the
proposed bridge and causeway was
to have been built. This is about o
mile below the McAdoo bridge.
Opposition to the bond issues was
taken as an expression Of personal
reasons by the voters rather than as
disapproval of bonds for brick roads
in this community. st. Petersburg
has never defeated a bond issue for
brick highways either for the city
or the county. It has carried all
previous bond issues except that in
1915 for a new high school building,
which issue was re-submitted in 1917
and carried overwhelmingly for \
much lorger amount.
Election officials were A. T. Null

Sometimes while talking my voice

Mr.. R. o. Hoyt of 4O6 East Lloyd

I've had catarrh of the head and
throat for some time, which has been
growing worse all the time, and the
head noises and roaring sound was
almost unbearable at times"
Every morning it required several
hours to get all this phlegm locsened
up. I was also constipated, having
to take medicine almost daily for
that trouble. My stomach got bad
which believe came from the mucus
swallowed, and I became alarmed,
thinking catarrh of the stomach was
about to get me. I'd bloat up terri
bly, with gas and often had gripping
pains after meals. got pretty nerv-

said to contain the juices of roots

that 1t is grand medicine for this
trouble. In two weeks time the
change in my symptoms was easily
seen. The dripping had almost
stopped; my head became clear; the
roaring noises ceased; no more head

ITALY SHORT OF COAL
(By Associated Press.)

Rome, July 11.-Italy's lack Of coal
has forced her to depend more and
more upon electric power. During
the period of 1914 to 1918 more than
one hundred million dollars was ex-
pended on water power electric
plants by electric companies in Tu-
rim and Milan.
Italy's annual consumption Of coal
reaches 100000 tons. For all of
it she is dependent upon either Eng
land or America. The war naturally
made the transportation of it diff
cult problem so Italian engineers
were forced to build large hydro
electric stations. Italy could save at
least three-fourths of her coal con-
sumption, by using her water power
according to Signor Maffeo Panta-
leoni engineer and dean of Italian
economists. Much of it remains I'M
developed.

Joe B. Smart Tells About Fla.

Dear John: AS my time is about
out with The Breckenridge News am
writing you to send me the paper for
few months longer, and to tell you
about some of the things we have
seen in Florida.
We stayed two months on a small
farm in Marion county in the center
of the state which has the name of
being the best farming county in the
state. The farmers raise corn, cot
ton, sugar cane, castor beans, velvet
beans, stock peas. peanuts. potatoes,
sweet potatoes, cabbage and other
vegetables, many hogs and cattle
which run at large with very little
feeding. Marion county has some
good orange and grape fruit groves,
and some large lakes filled with good
fish. 1t also has one of the most
beautiful natural scenes on the con-
tinent called Silver Springs. Just inn
agine circular pool with a diameter
as great of from your Office to Mr..
Fishers drug store, and from a few
feet to forty feet in depth, and so
transparent that we see great swarms
of fish of many kinds. We also can
see an object as small as a five cent
piece, and see the many springs boil
ing up from the bottom and make a
small river.
We also have made trip by auto
mobile to Tampa, a distance of 172
miles, through the principal fruit
growing sections of the state 1t was
surely a sight too great to tell you
now. We saw the war ships and sub
marines lying in the bay of Tampa,
went aboard some of them and took
few pictures of some.
About two weeks ago we left Sum-
merheld and came to New Smyrna
where we are keeping house on the
light plan which is more satisfactory
than most people would think. This
is quite nice town of 1000 inhabit-
ants on an arm of the ocean. But to
see the ocean we have to cross over
by bridge and walk half mile.
We have been over to the beach
about three times. IT'S a great sight
to see. Automobiles run along near
the waves when the tide is out The
sand is SO solid the wheels hardly
leave a print
Now Bro" John you know l would
have to work some, so Thomas, our
boy, and | have been cutting oranges
and grape fruit all last week. Some
tough job too. But | like to gather
that golden fruit, some of which is
or in. in diameter | cut down
SO boxes yesterday in about six hours
But | got tired and considerably
scratched by the thorns on the trees
We have met Northern people here
from every state in the union Some
who have been in Cloverport, and
some from Owensboro, so you may
know it seems like home The people
here are very clever to us, take us
out in their cars often. We have
all been very we'll here, only a few
headaches as is usual with me.
Now, dear John, Il could write you
more but will close for this time
Hoping to get the News soon.
remain, Yours, Joe B. Smart, New

years ago you folks voted the saloons
of this county closed That gave me
