The Low Cost of the Trip
Will Surprise You
It is an experience of a life
time to "become acquainted
with the great storehouses of
scenic, climatic, agricultural,
and other wealth in the Pacific
Northwest and 'California.
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.
The death of Mrs. Christian Duerr
occurred last Sunday, June 3, 1923,
at the home of her daughter, follow
ing a lingering illness due to the com
plications of old age. She was 77
years, 4 months and 1 day old at
the time of her passing.
The maiden name of Mrs. Duerr
was Mary Anna Hber. She was born
in Greenville, Ohio, February 2nd,
1846, where she lived with her par
ents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Jacob
Frederick Huber, and grew to wom
anhood. At the age of fourteen
years, she was confirmed in the
Lutheran church at Union, Ohio.
February 20, 18G8, Bhe was united
in marriage to Christian G. Duerr.
One year later they moved to Louis
ville on a farm where she and her
husband and family resided for 42
years until the death of the hus
band and father. To this union were
born eight children, four of whom
died in infancy. Six years ago, Mrs.
Duerr moved to Louisville to make
her home with her daughter, Mrs.
A. A. Leddy.
She leaves two sons and two daugh
ters. They are George Duerr and
Mrs. A. A. Leddy of Louisville; Philip
Duerr and Mrs. M. S. Zaar of Ash
land. Two sisters survive her. They

Winter Wheat Slightly Improved
With Estimate of 581,000,000
Bushels; Kansas Drops.
Washington, June 8. The princi
pal grain crops of the country will
be smaller this year than. last with
the exception of oats and barley.
' both of which have been planted on
large acreages than a year ago, ac
cording to the department of agri
culture's monfbly report issued to
day. No reports have been made yet
on corn.
Winter wheat shows slightly im
proved prospects resulting from May
conditions, and a crop of 581,000,
000 bushels is forecast. This total is a
little more than was indicated a
month ago and about 5,000,000
bushels less than last year's crop. In
there was a reduction of
more than 10,000,000 bushels in the
forecast compared with a month ago,
and in some other states there were
slight decreases.
The season's first forecast of
spring wheat production reported
the prospective yield at 236,000,000
bushels, or 40,000,000 bushels less
than last yeer's crop, which was
placed at 276,000,000 bushels in re
vised statistics today. The spring
wheat acreage is 5.1 per cent less
than last year's. North Dakota's crop
promises about one-third less than a
year ago, while Minnesota and South
Dakota . will bave slightly smaller
crops. Montana .and Washington
show increases over last year.
Smaller ?rops of apples and peach
es than last year are indicated, al
though they will be larger than the
average crops of the five year 1917
1921 Inclusive.
The condition of the crops, in per
centage of a normal on June "1, was
reported as follows:
Winter wheat, 76.3; spring wheat.
90.2; oats, 85.6; barley, 99.0; rye,
81.1; hay, 8.4; pastures, 84.8; ap

That advertising pay and that the
people of this day and age are alert
to buy what they desire through ad
vertising was strikingly shown a few
days ago and is a pleasing tribute

value of the Evening Journal as an

Recommends Chamberlain's Tablets.
"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.

they will do you good. - Weyrich &

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."
