FARMERS AND THE RAILROAD

The Changers took an active part
this week i'll favor of taxation of
railroads, and dissected John Biggs'
letter, showing how the railroads
had disregarded the mandates of
the State Commerce Commits
sion and claiming that they are not
now bearing a just share of taxes,
even at present rates. 1t was urged
by A. N. Brown, John ]. Rosa, and
others, that the farmers of Della
ware could we'll afford to exempt
the railroads from all taxes, and
pay additional direct tax them
| selves to reimburse the State Treas
ury, if the railroads would reduce
their rates to equal the lOng-haul
schedules made to other sections of
! the country where they have com
petition. The railroad lobby
made up of lawyers, politicians, and
officials of the Legislature in some
instances, is hard at work to pre-
vent the proposed bills from be-
coming law

About Refrigerators.

2 Refrigerator get the "Wilke,' ," is the best, cost most, uses less Here's few facts:
 In charcoal lined refigerators the charcoal filling reaches from top to bottom. But charcoal packs, and packs quickly, and after a seasons use it settles so much that fre- quently good half foot from the i, top has no charcoal.
 In the "Wilke' Refrigerator the mineral wool would not pack if it could there is too much elasticity for that-but it can't pack on ae- count of the block tile which hold in place the mineral wool-this is why the Wilke always uses less ice than any other refrigerator.
 We have the "Wilke" in many sizes.
 Prices begin at S42.50.
 The highest price we have at present is S1l0.00.
 The other intermediate prices are S54O0, S7O,0O, s1OO.O0, S1oo.OO SlOO.O0.
