VEGETABLE CROP NOW
NEARLY AS BIG AS SILVER

Denver.-The production of vegeta-
bles for market and for seed has de-
veloped rapidly in Colorado during the
last cade, until the annual value of
vegetables and vegetable seed grown in
the state is now nearly as great as the
annual value of the silver output.
The leading vegetable crops are can
taloupes, cabbage, cucumbers, toma-
toes, lettuce, celery, onions, beans and
sweet corn. In the production of can
taloupes Colorado ranks second among
the states, being surpassed only by
California. CantalOupes are raised
here both for market and for seed, this
state producing a larger proportion of
the annual seed output of the United
State than any other Reports of
county assessors to the State Immigra-
tion Department show that approx
mately 7,200 acres of cantaloupes were
grown in the state this year, of which
about 1000 acres were grown for seed.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root a
preparation 1 have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's SwampRoot is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores. advertisement

"These letters, your honor" said
the lawyer for the fair plaintiff,
'were written to my client by the
defendant. You will observe that
they are filed with passionate terms
nf endearment and signed Your Sugar
Lump"
"YOur honor" interrupted the de-
fendant, "please bear In mind that the
young woman asks 100000 for being
deprived Of her Sugar Lump and l
would like to call your attention to
the fact that sugar has gone down.
