Ire men, In convention, deplore extravagant living. You may need the money for ice. Thoe who are dissatisfied with this world are pretty likely to find fault with the next. In the meantime, be sood, and you'll not only be happy, but the constables won't catch you. Now that they are dropping simpli fied spelüns, let's have a campaign for dignified spieling. The price of maple syrup this year will be du probably, to the scarcity of hrown sugar. Fishermen often get tired hauling in pudirons ; but a profiteer never wearies in catching suckers. It is reported that cherries are only each in Paris. Will they ever drop to that over here? Possibly the world could he more chaotic than it is at present, but probably it never will be. If tldngs keep on, profiteers will be in the condition of the man who had nothing to cat hut gold. Having been worn all winter, the heavy suit ought to be almost thin enough for summer wear. With eggs dropping, the hen Is re newing her strenuous efforts to be proclaimed the national bird. It is somewhat odd that so many persons are never suspected of Insanity until they commit a crime. Whenever a wage scale conference Is announced the ultimate consumer might just as well begin to dig. Possibly there are enough of prof iteers who, by purchasing from ono another, ran keep the prices high! That woman who Is accused of hav ing 'J2 husbands is entitled to a medal as the champion optimist, anyhow.

PöBLIC WARNED

OF RATE Road Executive Points Out to Labor Arbiters Result of Employees' Demands. PEOPLE MUST PAY FREIGHT Problem of Billion. Dollar-Day Increase Up for Final Hearing of Wage Board in Session at Headquarters in Chicago. Chicago. May V.). Wage Increases of more than $1,000,000,000 to railroad employees, with an advance of 5S per cent to the public. in cost of freight transportation service, were forecast at the first meeting of the Unite! States railway board, now in perma nent headquarters at Chicago. The roads already are asking for a 28 per cent raise in freight rates to take care of the wage Increases al ready granted, spokesmen for the roads declared. They will need another 30 per cent raise to grant the additional wagt demands of the rail workers, the board was Informed. A statement of the railroads side of the problem was made by K. T. Whit er, chairman of the conference com mittee of the Association of Railway Executives. Tho entire board, appointed April ll by President Wilson, was present. Tin; members are: Henry Hunt. Georg'. W. Hangar and It. M. Barton, representing the public; Horace Baker, J. H. Elliott and William L. Park, for the railroads, and Albert Phillips, A. O. Wharton and James J. Forester, for the employees. Washington, May 19. Railway and public service commissions in every state were called to the aid of the interstate commission and t lie railroads to break the freight blockade. The commission telegraphed the state agencies asking them to co-operate fully and to use all means in their power to alleviate conditions In their states. The commission announced definitely that it did not contemplate holding hearings upon the appeal of the railroads for the government to use its emergency powers under the transportation act. Members of the commission met with representatives of the railroads to discuss means of breaking the freight blockade. Officials declared the problem was of such magnitude that a solution might require more time than at first anticipated. They were hopeful, however, that today or Wednesday would see a definite program for the movement of the vast volume of accumulated freight. The railroads suggested several details to the commission for inclusion in Its traffic plan. One of these was a general scheme for the movement of grain cars westward and coal cars eastward to meet current requirements. Cars for food and perishables, how ever, would have full preference over all others under the railroad men's? plan. Meanwhile more trouble for the railroads loomed in reports to the commission and the car service commit tee of the railroads. Several lines hitherto able to keep their tracks rela tively clear, were reported as sinotli ered under the avalanche of freight.

GALL LOAMS ON HOARDED FOOD

Action of Banks Expected to Go Far Toward Cutting Down Prices. LARGE STOCKS IN STORAGE Move Expected to Drive Vast Supplies of Foodstuffs From Warehouses Bankers Put Ban on Merchants - Handling Nonessentials. Washington, May 21. Adoption by American bankers of the recommendation of Governor Harding of the federal reserve board "to liquify frozen loans" was expected by board officials to alleviate the financial situation and to go far toward bringing down prices. Governor Harding applied the term "frozen loans" to credit extension which was permitting large stocks of rnerchandl.se to be held in storage for speculative purposes. Additional accumulation of goods in storage, he indicated, could be prevented by strict supervision of credit. Representative King of Illinois, recently charged in the house that present methods of financing were permitting commodities to be kept off the market, with resultant increase in prices. The Illinois representative said he had been informed that in Xew York city alone more than 70,000,000 pounds of condensed and evaporated milk were being hold in storage, in comparison with slightly more than S,000,000 pounds a year ago. Although legislation designed to drive foodstuffs from storage is now pending in congress, It was said that carefid withdrawal of credit from speculators in food products might accomplish more than statutory regulation. It was emphasized, however, that discrimination should be exercised by hankers, inasmuch as in many lines the summer months see an accumulation of commodities for the following winter. Xew York, May 21. Pursuant to their pledge to the federal reserve board, leading banking interests of this city extended their campaign of dellation of credits and Iilgh commodity prices. In the financial district this policy already has been effective in reducing speculative loans against securities to the extent of hundreds of millions of dollars In the last fortnight. In one instance, that of a prominent trust company, it is said that credits of this character had been reduced by 100,000,000 In the last three weeks. . Banks in the wholesale dry goods and general merchandise districts have been proceeding along the same lines, and the pressure exerted by those institutions is said to be directly responsible for the wave of price-cutting in many lines of retail trade, especially by the large department stores. Downtown banks, which in a large measure control operations of uptown banks, are reported to have advised drastic curtailment of loans to merchants who for any reason fail to comply with the government's dellation program. Importers and other dealers In the more luxurious articles of apparel, as well as manufacturers of jewelry, silverware and other so-called nonessentials, are said to have received word f :m their banks that only the most moderate financial accommodations may be expected at this time. The president of a bank in the wholesale shoe district is authority for the statement that loans to dealers in leather and rubber goods are smaller now than at any period in the last IS months. 12 KILLED IN LABOR BATTLE Fight Between Private Detectives and Union Miners in West Virginia Mountains. Charleston, AW Ya., May 21. Twelve men are dead and a number are wounded as a result of a battle between private detectives and union miners at Matewan, a small town in Mingo county. Col.

Much lahd in Jackson county will not be under cultivation tlds year, because of the shortage of farm labor. The backward spring delayed plowing for corn and other work. viu land owners are unable to find enough help now to break the ground which they intended to plant in corn. Several large farms are idle this year, as the tenants moved early i the spring to industrial centers to take Work in factories, and the owners have been unable to find tenants. The labor shortage has resulted in an increased demand for tractors and other modern farming machinery. iTerre Haute. The Indiana P.itumInous Coal Operators association, which held a special meeting here, refused to change the wage scale for shot firers in mines, although an effort was made by several members to increase the pay.

South Hend. A potato shortage la predicted for St. Joseph county next fail by the county agricultural agent lie says the scarcity of seed potatoes, strike troubles on the railroads and weather conditions are responsible for the situation. Realizing the serious condition which faces the consumer, the Chamber of Commerce is making an effort to co-operate with the county agent in finding seed potatoes and bringing them into the county for planting. So far, he has been unsuccessful in Unding seed. "The price of potatoes is so high," he said, "that the average farmer does not care to take a chance on planting them. The average yield In this vicinity is 75 bushels to the acre, but last year the yield did not average over 23 bushels." It Is also said that under present conditions It will cost a farmer $114 to produce 100 bushels of potatoes. JefTersonville.

Kussel! of Purdue and is otiicial. The yield of butterfat is close' to ü per cent. The cow was milked fonr times each 24 hours during the test and ate ordinary diet. It is- said that the yield is the highest ever shown for any cow tested in the state of Indiana. A yield of 1,000 pounds of milk ami 40 pounds of butter fat a month is normally regarded first-class production for a cow. Warsaw. W. E. Tharp of the United States department of agriculture, lias arrived in Warsaw to begin a soil survey of Kosciusko county. Together with two assistants from Purdue university, he will spend some time in the county studying soils In every part of it.

Kosciusko county was selected as the first county in the north central states for such a survey. Indianapolis. Of the 1,000,000 acres of wheat seeded last fall in Indiana approximately 255,000 acres have been abandoned, according to the monthly crop report. This is considerably greater than usual on such a small acreage and Is. due principally to the ravages of the Hessian fly. A severe winter and Ice storms this spring also did considerable damage.

It hardly seems possible that there ia a woman in this country who will continue to suffer without giving Lydia E.

In January I got io bad that what I would eat would sour and boil; my teeth would be like chalk. I suffered terribly. I prayed every day for something to cure me. One day I read about EATOXIC and told my wife to get me a box at the drug store as I was going to work at 4 p. m. I took one-third of it and began to feel relief; when it wai three-fourths gone, I felt fine and when it was used up I had no pains. Wife got mo another box but I have felt the pain but twice. I used five tablets out of the new box and I have no more stomach trouble. Now I write to tell vou how thankful I am that I heard of EATOXIC.
