FORECASTS NOT BORNE OUT Commission Finds Carriers Making Money; General 15 Per Cent Freight Boost Demanaed. Washington.—The interstate com merce commission has denied the plea of the railroads of the United States for a horizontal increase of 13 per cent in freight rates. In its decision the commission indi ; cated it- willingness to increase class I rates in the eastern district approxi mately 14 per cent. Since about one fourth of the freight handled is moved \ under class rates, the decision virtual ly allows the eastern lines about 4 per | cent increase in gross freight revenue. Increases sought in rates on coal, coke and iron ore will be granted. The commission found as a result , of extended hearings that the carriers generally show a substantia! and iu i creasing financial prosperity and that they have ample resources with which ’ to conduct transportation. Little sympathy vva> given the ar guments of tlie roads that they were victims of war prices, the commission holding that the carriers have profited by the mobilization of troops. The Commission suspended the pro posed tariffs until October but it indicated that no rehearing of the case will he of value at this time and : suggested cancellation of the tariffs. The commission limls that the gloomy ioreeasts ot Jeopardized in comes, seen by railroad officials early in 1017. have not been borne out by the figures available l'cr later inonlhs. The proceedings were brought in March, when the returns from Feb ruary were just being made. February was one of the worst months in railroad history. The sub sequent months have shown increas ing revenues, while expenses have, in many cases, failed to mount to the ex tent the carriers’ officials feared. The decision points out that the carriers’ comparisons Imre been made largely with those of line, which was the banner year in railroad earnings and adds that the 1017 income might be considerably diminished without necessarily indicating a danger point in earnings. The commission found in general that the effects of the Adamson eight hour basic day and of the increased cost of fuel, supplies and materials had not affected the southern and western carriers as greatly as it af fected the eastern carriers. Greece Breaks With Germany. Athens.—Greece lias severed diplo matic relations with Germany and its allies and apparently soon will take I the field on the side of the entente stl- ■ lies.

Chicago. 111.—The leading packers of Chicago, it was announced, have agreed to turn over to farmers for breeding purposes all ewe lambs sent to them for slaughter. FARMS THE SOURCE OFJEALTH Careful Tillage. Good Manage ment and a Beneficent Soil. Reading the reports of the managers of the chartered hanks in Canada, one is struck by the wonderful showing that they have made during the past I two or three years. They are careful in their statements, and while they attribute the success that they have ; met with, together with that which has I followed other lines of business, they I are careful to emphasize the fact that the condition of big business may not I continue. On the other hand, they | point out that the material and funda 1 mental source of wealth is the farm. " bile other lines of business may have their setbacks, and while care and scrupulous care, will have to be exer cised to keep an even balance, there is but little risk to the farmer who on economic and studied lines will carry on his branch of industry and endeavor to produce what the world wants not only today, but for a long distance into the future, with a greater demand than ever in the past. Speaking recently before a Canadian bank board at its annual meeting, the vice president, once a farmer himself, said: “The farm is the chief source of wealth. We have now three transcon tinental railways with branches run ning through thousands of miles of the very best undeveloped agricultural land in the world. In the natural course of things, these must attract immigration. The products of the farm are now commanding the highest prices ever known, and in my opinion even after the end of the war. high prices for foodstuffs must continue to prevail. With the mechanical appli ances now available for farm work, the iarmer needs no considerable supply of extra capital, hut should be helped to the extent needed upon good secur ity. The food supply of the world is short, the demand is likely to increase rather than decrease. Development of mines, extension of factories and the reconstruction of devastated Eu rope must all call for supplies for the workers. On the whole, the farmer has been helped rather than hurt by the war. ngd will continue to be, at least for a long time to come.’’ Many men of authority and intelli gence support what the vice president has said, and their statements are borne out by the facts that readily pre sent themselves. The different grain producing countries of Europe have been robbed of the man power that de veloped their agriculture, the farms have been devastated and laid waste. Full and complete reliance will have to be placed on the United States and Canada, and from what we see today, it will take the combined forces of these two countries to come anywhere near meeting the cry that will go out for food. The warnings and appeals sent out by the heads of these two countries are none too soon nor too urgent. Therefore, it becomes nec essary for those who can produce to exert themselves. Secure land, rent it. buy it. Get it somewhere, some way. and have it operated. The Canadian Government, sending out its appeal, is not selfish in this matter. Thousands of acres in the United States await the tiller's efforts, and none of it should be idle. Canada, too. offers wonderful advantages, with its free lands and its low-priced lands, to those desirous of helping the nation, and im proving their own condition at the same time.' Many are taking advan tage of this wonderful opportunity.— Advertisement.

Mrs. Lindsey Now Keeps House For Seven. Tennille,Ga.—‘T want to tell you how much I have been benefited by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. About eight years ago I got in such a low state of health I was unable to keep house for three in the family. I had dull, tired, dizzy feelings, cold feet and hands nearly all the time and could scarcely sleep at all. The doctor said I had a severe case of ulceration and without an operation I would always be an invalid, but I told him I wanted to wait awhile. Our druggist advised my husband to get Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and it has entirely cured me. Now I keep house for seven and work in the garden some, too. I am so thankful I got this medicine. I reel as though it saved my life and have recommended it to others aud they have been benefited”.—Mrs. W. E. Lindsey, R. R. 3, Tennille, Ga. If you want special advice write to Lydia E.
