Chicago, Act 27. That the renting farmers of Iowa are actually losing money and that even the land owners of. the state are practically only break'ing even In this area of high prices, was. the burden of testimony given here before the Interstate commerce commission In the rate bearing which affects forty-seven western railroads. Placed on the stand In behalf of the Farmers'Cooperatlon Society of Iowa, H. C. Wallace, a statlstlcan of Des Moines, produced a long array of figures to disprove the contention of the railroads that the farmers are the beneficiaries of high prices. Estimating the total valuation of the 1909 crops In Iowa at about $330,000,000. Wallace declared the figures showed that the owners of the land realised a bare R.ls per cent, profit, allowing nothing for depreciating and that allowing 10 per cent for depreciation the renter actually lost 3305 yearly on every quarter section he worked. Hew the Farmer Lives. Mr. Wallace insisted that the railroads get a better return on their investment than the farmer. Mr. Wallace said: "It is only by denying himself all luxuries that the farmer has been able to make a fair living. The apparent loss shown Is overcome by the farmer not hiring the labor, by getting the work done by his children. The average farm boy of fourteen years Is considered a fullfledged field and stock hand." . Witness said that the prosperity usually ascribed to the farmer Is an error. Statistics, he said, showed that the small farmer Is being frozen out, while there Is a large increase In the land contained la big agricultural estates, with their managers, superintendents and systemlsed labor. Commissioner Lane said: ' "We have heard much about Iowa farmers buying automobiles. Is there a large number of them, and does that show that the farmer has prospered?" ' Auto Means Nothing. -Well,- replied Mr. Wallace. -I do not know how many automobiles are owned by farmers, but undoubtedly there are a large number, and the fact does show prosperity. The farmer has been able to buy them because he and his boys work together on the farm Instead of hiring .labor. And, then, an automobile Is less of a luxury to the farmer than to the city man. The tiller of the soil uses It la his business to advantage." Discussing impoverishment of the soil. Mr. Wallace said that the fertility loss of a leasers farm Is $487 a year. The grain raised and sold in Iowa

Is actually selling the state piecemeal and can not continue Indefinite

ly." said the witness. -The land will

be exhausted In time Just as a coal

vein la exhausted."

The exodus of young men from the

farms was partly due to their desore

to obtain cheap lands in other sec

tions pf the country and to wait for them to increase In value, as their fathers did before them, Mr. Wallace

said.

Cincinnati, Oct. 37. What promises

to be one of the most sensational

murders committed in this city In re

HOW OLD PEOPLE May Prolong Thsir Lives. At an advanced age waste is more rapid than repair. The organs act more slowly and less effectually than in youth. The circulation is poor the blood tbln and watery the appetite poor and digestion weak. We want to say to every aged person in this vicinity that Vlnol. our delicious cod liver and iron tonic (without oil) will .prolong life. It creates an appetite, aids digestion and makes good blood. In t'ais natural manner Vlnol retards w-vste and re

places weakness with strength, giving new life to the worn system.. If people in this vicinity only realized how Yinol invigorates old people we would not be able to supply the demand. Try a bottle of Vlnol with the understanding that your money will be returned if it does not help you. Leo H. Fihe, Druggist, Richmond, Ind.

Our New Premium Cigar Plan The best cigars in the world for. the money and premiums given in ex-' change for sales certificates. .This is a very important announcement to smokers, for it is merely an addition to the superior values we have heretofore offered in cigars. The National Cigar Stands brands which we handle exclusively, as well as our other cigars, are all the highest value that can be had for the price. We have now decided to add to this the premium which is outlined

below: Hereafter we shall issue a coupon with every 5 cent purchase of cigars or tobacco and a certificate with every 25 cent purchase. Five coupons are equal to one certificate. In exchange for these certificates we shall give a long list of high grade presents. As there are scores of these presents to choose from we can give no detailed list of them here, but have an illustrated

booklet giving complete details. Get the booklet at our cigar department This is a profit sharing plan that means a big saving on your expenditure for cigars. Based upon the retail value of the articles to be given away, each certificate is worth about 2 cents, which is equal to a discount of 8 to 10 per cent. Our brands and prices remain the same so that the premiums are a pure gift on our part. Call for a booklet and begin saving certificates today. Afenms Eton Stoce CI& end Main
