RAILROAD WAGE INCREASE ORDER EXPECTED DAILY Will Propose Average 20 per - Cent Advance to All Work- . ers Tis Said.

WASHINGTON, D. C, May 8. Director General McAdoo will announce Boon his decision on recommendations of the railroad wage commission, which were said in well informed quarters today to propose an average 20 per cent advance in pay for all classes of railroad employes. If Mr. McAdoo follows the suggestions of tlie commission approximately $260,000,000 will be added to the pay rolls of railroads. Strong pressure is said to have been brought to bear on the director general to modify some of the recommendations, especially affecting the four great brotherhoods. Mr. McAdoo is not bound to follow the advice of the commission and can increase or reduce their recommendations as he sees fit. Other Questions Ignored. The commission has followed its announced policy of giving the highest paid unions the lowest rate of advance, holding that relief is needed most by the men who have been barely making ends meet. Apparently none of the commission's recommendations has met the requests of the unions themselves, which ranged as high as 40, 50, and 60 per cent. Aside from . the wage question the commission has made little effort to take up all the grievances presented to it, on the ground that it was" appointed primarily to consider only questions of pay. Upheaval Is Feared. The elf ht hour day, however, involving large sums, was given close attention, because of the fact that some classes of employes work on such a basis, while most of them do not. A majority of the commission Is raid to have felt fhat the eight hour day should not be made universal for railroad employes while the war is In progress, fearing to upset transportation and necessltstf the exDenditure of large sums In addition to the increases fti trees ted. It is said the commission has urred that after the war the fieht hour day b extended and msde the bnsls of em. plovment of all classes of railroad workers.

Mr. McAdoo will finish hi Mudv of j the report In a few dnys. It became known today that Secretary Lane,

chairman of the rilrrad wage commission. wa et a Virrinia resort lat week with Secretary McAdoo. Their conference m?v hasten . the director general's decision.

WHY SUGAR MUST BE CONSERVED

A French Sugar Mill After the German Were Through With It.

Sugar production in France has fallen to less than 25 per cent of the pre-war output.. This picture of ft wrecked sugar mill shows one of the principal reasons for the decline. When German troops retreated from

occupied portions of France they took

pains to destroy virtually all or tna sugar mills that would otherwise have assisted the French In .. maintaining their sugar stocks. That first wave

of Teuton invasion was stopped in

France after the Germans had established a battle line that cut off 203 of the 2X3 French sugar mills, as well as much land that had produced sugar beets. In some of the German re

treats the mills were left in such shape as to permit their operation. The official sugar production figures indicate the extent of the destruction, and emphasize the French sugar needs which must be filled by American aid. From the Indiana Farmer's Guide.

NO REASON FOR IT When Richmond Citizens Show a Way. Thera can be no reason why any reader of this who suffers the tortures of an aching back, the annoyance of urinary disorders, the pains and dangers of kidney jlls will fail to heed the words of a neighbor who has found relief. Read what a Richmond citizen says: Mrs. M. N Hutzel, 722 N. Thirteenth St., says: "I bad kidney complaint and Buffered a great deal from backache and pains through my kidneys. I felt dull mornings. My work tired me and I often haa a dizzy headache. My kidreys acted irregularly, too. When I read about Doan's Kidney Pills, I got some from Qulgley's Drug Store, and they soon put my kidneys in good shape. The backaches left me and I am now free from the headaches and dizzy spells." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Down's KJdney Pills the same that Mrs. Hutzel had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

FOUNTAiN CITY, IND.

The above article shows us one of the reasons why we must conserve sugar. With the coming in of beet sugar and other forms of syrup the trowtng of sorghum has declined. The demand caused by the war for food stuffs, the growing of sorghum Is becoming a necessity to supply sweetness. While it can not be made into sugar It makes a fine syrup for table use and can be used In cooking in various ways. Much that is of food value is allowed to go to waste in the flowers and blooms of the fields that can and ourtt to be saved. If every farmer

would keep a few colonies of bees,

mucn sweetness ioi a wuwu vu sto waste would be saved and a considerable amount of honey added to our store of food. -Chairman, Committee on Food Production Among Women for Wayne County.
