PLEA FOR HIGHER RATES RE
JECTED BY COMMERCE BODY.
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.

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.—

Convincing Proof of This Fact.
Kidgway, Penn. — “i suffered from female
trouble with backache and pain in my side for over
seven months so I could not do any of my work. I
was treated by three different doctors and was
getting discouraged when my sister-in-law told me
how Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound had
helped her. I decided to try it, and it restored my
health, so I now do all of my housework which is
not light as I have a little boy three years old.”

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.
