a letter from our office in Colorado

information in the colture of this
crop. We enclose you herewith a
copy of beet contract such 88 is being
used by our Company this year. You
will notice that we are paying five
dollars per ton for beets at any receiv

the growers will for beets delivered at
the factory.
We have had some inquiry in regard
to this crop from parties in and around
Carbondale, and we ar¢ planning to
send a representative in that territory
next week with the idea of oblaining
contractg for at least 100 acres. The
name of this representative is Mr. H.
B. Wakefield, who hag hed a practical
and successful experience in laising
beets. We have given him your name
and he will call upon you at Glen
wood, some time next week.
Any inforwmation yon may be able to
give him in regard to the country up
around Glenwood and Carbondale will
be greatly appreciated.
Yours truly, |
Edmuond Simmons,
Ass't. Manager. ‘

Congratulations.
Mr. Jobn H. Culom, Editor of the
Garland, Texas, News, has written
a letter of congratulations to the
manufacturers of Chamberain’'s Cough
Rbémedy as follows: ‘‘Sixteen years
ago when our first child was a baby
he was subject to croupy spells and
we would be very uneasy about him.
We began using Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy in 1857, and finding it such a
reliable remedy for colds and croup,
:we have never heen without it in the
‘house since that time. We have five
children and have given it to all of
them with good results. One good
teature of this remedy is that it is
not disagreeable to take and our
babies really like it. Another is that
it is not dangerous, and there is no
risk from giving an overdosc. 1 con
gratulate you upon the success of your
remedy.'’ For sale by all dealers.
