MARKETING eors1o CROPS.

In line with the classic case of the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley of Yale University in his book
on Railroad Transportation, is the case
of the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President Tutue OF the
Boston and Maine Railroad before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce. Nothing could better show
how a railroad works for the interest
of the localities which it serves.
A main dependence of the farmers
of the Aroostook region is the potato
crop, aggregating annually eight to
ten million bushels, which find a mar
ket largely in Boston and the adjacent
thlckly settled regions of New Eng
land. The competition OF cheap water
transportation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these pota-
toes always at very low level.
Potatoes are also a considerable out
put of the truck farms of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun
and rains brought tremendous yield
of potatoes from the Michigan fields.
At normal rates and prices there
would have been glut of the custom
ary markets and the potatoes would
have rotted on the farms. To help
the potato growers the railroads from
Michigan made unprecedentedly low
rates on potatoes to every reachable
market, even carrying them In large
quantities to place so remote as Bos-
ton. The Aroostook growers had to
reduce the price on their potatoes and
even then could not dispose of them
unless the Boston and Maine Railroad
reduced its already low rate. which it
did. BY means of these low rates.
making possible low prices, the potato
crops of both Michigan and Maine
were finally marketed. Everybody
eats potatoes, and that year every
body had all the potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads, had they been applied
to the movement of all potatoes at all
times, to all places. they helped their
patrons to find markets then. The
Boston and Maine Railroad suffered
de.lease in its revenue from potatoes.
but 1t enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crop and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for the
varied supplies which the railroads
brought to them. If the making of
rates were subject to governmental
adjustment such radical and prompt
action could never have been taken.
because 1t is well established that II
rate be once reduced by railroad
company 1t cannot be restored through
the red tape of governmental proce-
dure. II the Michigan railroads and
the Boston and Maine Railroad had
been subjected to governmental limi-
tation they would have felt obliged to
keep up their rates as do the railroads
of France and England and Germany
under governmental limitation and let
the potatoes rot E hdnIe.

For Plain Attire,

The best thing that was said in any
pulpit in the United States yesterday
was uttered by parson in Des Moines.
Iowa. Rev. DIR. Mcconnell declared
that the decadence of church-going was
because attendants-especia at Pro-
testant churches-wore the most ex-
pensive clothes they possessed. This
had the effect of keeping away the
poor, plainly attired people. In max
ing the usual announcements for future
services this long-headed parson said:
please note that all people attending
services here are requested to wear
plain and inexpensive clothing in or
der that no one, however humble, may
be embarrassed" This man Is on tho
right track. Dress is the barrier be-
tween church attendance and the
poorer classes. OF course, 1t is not ex-
pected that a man will go to the house
o, worship in his overalls. 1t is to be
hoped he wouldn't sit down to dinner
in such garb-certainly not II he loves
and respects his wife, who cooks tho
meal.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Fought With a Rather.

Game Commissioner Woodard is in
receipt of letter from James Tib-
bits, ranchman a few miles south of
Meeker. Colorado, which recites that
one of the greatest and fiercest battles
that he ever saw took place on his
ranch on Monday between a huge rat
tlesnake and buck deer. The battle
continued increasingly and fiercely for
half an hour and finally resulted in
the rattler being killed.
Mr. Tibbits states that while he was
standing in his doorway on Monday
morning watching a large buck deer
which had been wandering around his
ranch for few days. he was surprised
to see the deer rear on his hind legs
and engage in a struggle with some
thing which was wound around Its
legs. Rushing near to where the deer
was standing, the ranchman was
startled to see huge rattler. meas
uring easily six feet, wound around
the legs of the buck. Climbing a tree
near by. Mr.. Tibbits watched the bat
tie for over half an hour. 1t was
about an even struggle, but finally
the buck succeeded in extricating him
self and dashed the snake against q
rock, killing it.-Denver News.

Because he did not know that there is

four years of weakness, pain and the
misery of thinking his case incurable.
"At the outbreak of the Spanish
American war" he says, 81 went with

there my system became thoroughly
poisoned with malaria. When 1 was
mustered out, I carried that disease
home with me. After while locomotor
ataxia appeared"
"How did the ataxia begin?"
al first noticed a pain in my ankles
and knee joints. This was followed by
numb feeling in my legs. At times 1

would shake or become perfectly dead.
1 had constant trouble in getting about

my room at night as could not balance
myself in the darkness. Even with the

How long were you sufferer?
-Four years in all. During the last
three years was confined to bed, some-
times for a week, again for three or four
weeks at time. When was lying
down the pain in my back was fre-
quently so severe that had to be helped
up and put in chair to get little re-
lief. had considerable pain in my
bowels and no control over my kidneys.
The worst of all was that the doctor
could give me no hope of recovery" 4.
How were you cured?"
at read that DIR. Williams Pink
Pills had cured locomotor ataxia and
one or two friends spoke to me about
them. In the fall of 1903 began to take
them for myself and had not used
more than one box before found that
the pains in my knees and ankles were
greatly relieved. Four months after
ward became perfectly well man, and
I am today enjoying the best of health"
Mr.. Edward II. Ariel lives at No. 43

Arriving at a Verdict.

Kushequa. Pa, July 1O.-(SpeciaD-
In this section of Pennsylvania there
is a growing belief that for such Kid
ney Diseases as Rheumatism and
Lame Back there is only one sure
cure and that is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
This belief grows from such cases as
that of Mrs. NJ. L. Dawson of this
place. She tells the story herself as
follows:
Il have suffered from Rheumatism
for thirty years and find that Dodd's 8
Kidney Pills have done me more good
than any medicine have ever taken.
l was also bothered with Lame Back
and can only say that my back hasn't
bothered me since / took Dodd's Kid
ney Pills"
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only
took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
the result would be considered wonder
full If 1t were not that others are re-
porting similar results daily. Kushe-
qua is fast arriving at verdict that
'Dodd's Kidney Pills are the one sure
cure for Rheumatism"

Chicago, Sept. 3O.-Preparations are

hoods to secure a reduction of the

The grievance committees of many

changes in working conditions. At
the same time the schedules govern
ing wages and hours will expire on at
