DEEP WATERWAYS.
Wealth to tho Western Farmer Is As
sured by Its Completion.

Hured ny Its Completion.
For many years the work Of creating
dor channels between lakes Superior,
Huron, Michigan and Erie has been
going on At length the work is done,
or under contract to complete, so that
from all the lakes twenty-foot channels
may practically be said to exist With
the completion of the inter-lalxe
channels, all the immense and rapidly
increasing navigation converges TO the
common eastern terminus at Buffalo.
The existence of the great lakes has
made possible the so-called northwest,
since IL has permitted the products of
the northwest TO reach markets at
much lower figure than has been
possible by all rail. From Duluth to
Buffalo, eleven hundred miles, IL costs
about one-third as much as 1t costs to
transship and transport across New
York state. Increasing competi-
ton from those countries of
the world possessing cheap land
and cheap labor makes it
imperative on the producers, the farm
ers of the northwest, to search out, II
possible, some way of getting their
crops TO the eastern markets at lower
rate than they have been getting. To
every producer in the northwest it will
be of interest to know that on Septem-
Der 1926 there will be u convention
held in the city of Cleveland for the
purpose of developing In large way
the facts relating to this deep water
navigation from Buffalo eastward.
With view to decreasing the cost, 1t
Is necessary to use the existing lakes
and river, with supplementary canals,
and TO reduce the cost from Buffalo
east In some such ratio as has been Sc
cured in the upper lakes. An eminent
engineer, G. N. button, who has given
the matter great deal of study, has
prepared the following statements and
figures, which l beg to present, with
out comment, simply asking that they
be read aud thought on;
"Sixteen great states namely, Ohio, Indi-
ana Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Wisconsin
Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Montana
| Wyoming and Colorado must ship their sur
plus agricultural products from the great
lakes to the seaboard Deep water navigation
would effect an immediate reduction In freight
costs, and consequent increase In crop values
| OF on average OF five cents bushel on grain
and potatoes, four dollars ton on hay and
| five dollars and upwards ton on straw.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
