In making such a trip, it is both natural and logical for one to se lect that route on which the most and the best of the astounding won ders in our fascinating West can, be viewed from the car "window. To the end that Burlington patr ons may reap the fullest possible measure of delight, benefit and in spiration which such a wonderful trip affords, schedules have been de veloped and perfected via two wide ly different routes so that the most oi tne Dest scenery is passea aunng daylight hours.

"Chamberlain's uabjets have been used by my husband and myself off and on for the past five years. When my husband goes away from home he always takes a bottle of them along with him. Whenever I have that heavy feeling after eating, or feel dull and played out, I take one or two of Chamberlain's Tablets and they fix me up fine." writes Mrs. Newton Vreeland, of Minona, N. R. Take these tablets when troubled with constipation or indigestion and they will do you good. - Weyrich & Hadraba. CHARLES A. CHAPPELL HEADS MASONIC LODGE WHEN you again hear the remark that "the railroads are making too much money; tlv rates are too high," ask the speaker whether he has examined the facts. Ask him whether he KNOWS anything about the enormous ccsts of running a railroad despite close watchfulness over expenses. ' ; If he doesn't KNOW anything about railroad costs his views are both valueless and unjust. If he claims to know, be sure his information is accurate. More Misinformation is tossed around about railroads than any other subject, for lots of people think they know more about a railroad than those who have devoted their lives to it. It is as wrong to hear false witness against a railroad Os against any other neighbor. The Rock Island System had to take in $ 120,800 854 last year to pay its 40,000 employes and meet its other bills before it could counts dollar of profit. Its taxes alone were $6,163,175. That is where some of the dollars went which you paid in freight and passenger rates. A portion of them doubtless came to your community. The TAX BILLS for 1922 were almost TWICE THE SUM RECEIVED IN DIVIDENDS by the thousands of persons who have investments in the property, some of them, perhaps, residents of your neighborhood. For every $2.81 paid in dividends, thellocklsland paid $4.93 in Taxes last. year. It does not appear from this that the Rock Island is making "too much money" or that its "rates are too high."
